Mourinho behaved like a brat when interviewed after the game. He chose not to answer any question which begs the question why he bothered to appear in front of the cameras. Trevor Francis in commentary declared he has lost the players. Michael Owen also in commentary said nothing of interest. Big result for Liverpool. Given Costa should have been sent off it wasn't worthy of a professional team to try and have Lucas sent off.

The measure of a manager is how they perform when things aren't going well. His recent antics speak volumes.

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR RANGERS - 'OLD' AND 'NEW'


Depending upon further appeals, in purely sporting terms, this decision means there must be a huge question mark placed over trophies the 'old' Rangers won while the EBT system was in place between 2001 and 2010 before the 'old' Glasgow club was liquidated in 2012. HMRC are claiming around ?46.2m of unpaid tax from Murray's time as owner. The term 'financial doping' has been used in relation to the use of EBTs. Scottish titles, Scottish Cups and Scottish League Cups were all won as well as qualification for the Champions League and UEFA Cup while avoiding paying tax on players' earnings.

If they strip them of those titles that would be disgusting. The players won them, and the players weren't fiddling the books.


And if I were a Celtic supporter I wouldn't want them, they'd be false titles. Bit like the guys that finished second to Lance Armstong. Bet they don't feel deep down that they actually won those tours.

I don't think Celtic want the titles.


The players knew they were getting tax free money - that was promised to them in side letters on signing for the club - without that they wouldn't have come to Scotland, I'm sure. It was always amazing to Celtic fans how Rangers attracted the players they did, and its now clear.


I don't want them to lose the titles, couldn't care less really - but I do want them to lose the tax case, and for everyone to accept that it was wholly and knowingly wrong - everyone in tax knew it was wrong, its fraud.

I went to see Ireland lose to Scotland a year ago at Celtic Park and I'd have said they had no chance of qualifying based on their performance that night.


I was wrong and they have played very well since that night.


Many here (Otta?) said the O Neill Keane combo would end in tears but to be fair they have managed to get an limited pool of players to the final.

That old clich? is getting a bit tiresome. Since Bale's gone we are no longer a selling club. We're building a strong young side with the emphasis on young home grown talent (several of whom were in last night's England squad) and it's good that we are finally backing our manager in his vision. I like what Pochettino is doing at Spurs and though we've drawn a few games too many we're still unbeaten since the opening day loss to Man Utd, a game we could and should have won.


The second of three London derbies on the spin coming up on Saturday. Should be quite tasty.

      Are we now under a flight path?

      By Forest Hill Climber · Posted

      In 2016 London City Airport began using concentrated flight paths. When there's a predominantly westerly wind, incoming aircraft approach from East London (north of the River). When there's a predominantly Easterly wind, incoming aircraft approach the airport from the West: circling through Forest Hill, Dulwich, Vauxhall, Tower Hamlets, Docklands. This latter flight path affects many of us in South East London. https://www.london.gov.uk/who-we-are/what-london-assembly-does/questions-mayor/find-an-answer/london-city-airport-concentrated-flight-paths The planes going into City are often below 2,000 ft, so very noisy. Sometimes we have incoming Heathrow at the same time, flying higher. The early flights that I hear e.g. 04:30 are incoming to Heathrow. They are scheduled to land at 05:30 but are 'early'. Apparently the government allows a percentage of flights to arrive early and late (but these are now established as regular occurrences, informally part of the schedule). IMHO Londoners are getting very poor political representation on this issue. Incredible that if you want to complain about aircraft noise, you're supposed to contact the airport concerned! Preposterous and designed solely in favour of aviation expansion.

      Yet another recommendation for Jafar. Such a nice guy, really reliable and fair. He fixed a problem with our boiler and then incredibly kindly made two more visits to replace a different part at no extra cost.

      By Sue Klein · Posted

      I didn't have any problems with plane noise until city airport started flying planes to and from about 5-8 minutes apart from 5.30 am or  6 am,  and even with ear plugs and double glazing I am woken at about 6 well before I usually would wake  up. I have lived here since 1986 and it is relatively recently that the planes have been flying far too low over East dulwich. I very much doubt that they are headinbg to Heathrow or from Heathrow. As the crow flies we are much , MUCH closer to City Airport than Heathrow or Gatwick. I even saw one flying so low you could see all the windows, when I was in Peckham Rye Park.
