With the new TV money an already competitive PL is going to get a lot more competitive. Clubs outside the top 6 don't have to sell a la Everton/Stones...

So you put your mortgage on it presumably?

I didn't see or hear about the reasons for the sendings off.

I really hope that is the case and the money doesn't go on stupid transfer fees and ridiculous wages.

That's the dog's bollocks.


Been waiting since I as a kid for a win at Anfield - remember a great 1-1 there in mid 70s when Keith Robson scored and Smith equalised and Mervyn Day played a blinder for us to get the draw.


Doesn't matter (to me anyway) that this isn't the Pool of old - we buried 'em.


Home form is down to nerves and the headless chicken panic when they feel the crowd on their backs. But with Nolan finally out of the way I think things will gel.

I did think about you today RD. Not for long though!


After our bad start & going one down, I thought I'd be congratulating you at the end & blaming our loss on the absence of Montero. But we didn't need him anyway!


I'm assuming you watched it & will agree that in the 2nd half we turned it around & deserved to win. :)

Not as far as I'm concerned. Who's going to give them a run for their money? Certainly not Arsenal, United, Liverpool or Chavs.

LVG has spent the best part of half a billion on his "project" with sod all return. Swansea deserved their victory today, Gary Monk showing you don't have to spend shed loads to get decent results. If any other manager had spent the same as LVG with the same end product the press would crucify them.

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      But I don't think that was what you meant, was it? But he can hardly be held responsible for what somebody else did! Just discovered I forgot to post the above  last night, and now it's overtaken by long posts.  I don't have sufficient knowledge  to counter some of what has been said above, some of which appears to be opinion rather than facts, so it would be pointless for me to say anything else.

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      By Dogkennelhillbilly · Posted

      For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      By Angelina · Posted

      If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.
