My bad, but whatever team he supports is secondary to his problem with Arsenal. Why would you go and watch a side if you clearly are anti the club and it's style of play, unless of course you're a closet gooner. If you don't like the style of play, why on earth would you pay money to go and watch it? That would be like watching Scottish football week in week out, poor standard of football in a poor league, with only one club likely to win the title. That's just wrong.

I was a big Arsenal fan PD from the mid eighties and a constant on the North Bank for a couple of seasons from 1990 - 1992 - just lost interest over time.


Celtic is my team and I find it hard to find a particular attraction to an English team currently - I quite liked Spurs until last week.

Celtic will introduce a safe-standing area from the start of next season.


The club confirmed in their season-ticket renewal information that rail seats are to be installed at Celtic Park over the summer.


The modified area will be in the corner of the Lisbon Lions Stand.


Permission was granted in June last year, with the model being used based on versatile seating common at German grounds. Their initial plans were to accommodate up to 2,600 supporters.


Glasgow City Council, which had twice previously rejected applications from the Scottish champions, gave the project its approval in June last year.


At the time, Celtic chief executive Peter Lawwell said: "Across football globally, the reality is that some supporters are choosing to stand at matches.


"Rail seating has been in place in European football for some time and there has been considerable demand for some form of safe standing within the UK and particularly from our supporters."

I'm sure half those Green St traders will find a way (hook or crook)to carry on a bit of business near Olympiana - the whole thing wouldn't hurt as much if the club weren't moving to what I still think will prove a relatively atmosphere-free zone. I think the first game there will be full of fans staring in disbelief at this patch of grass in the distance and saying "F*ck me, is this the view?!"

From Juan Mata's blog.

Spot the mistake :)...


''There is no time for celebrations though, since we have another game on Tuesday as difficult as the one on Saturday, or even more.

It?s against West Ham, our last away game of the Premiership. It?s going to be special: the last official game at the Boleyn Ground, where West Ham has been playing for 112 years. With that image of Sir Bobby Moore, it?s a place that breathes English football? it will be an honour to be there and try to get the last win.

West Ham has been a tough opponent this season. We know them well because we?ve played against them in the FA Cup too. They are in the seventh position by a combination of effort and talent, not by chance.''

I think they decided that West Ham V Millwall friendlies were best left alone since the Harry Cripps Testimonial at the Den

I'd imagine quite a few fans will try and take something home with then tonight, surprised the club haven't said season ticket holders get first dibs on their seat, as long as they make a charitable donation..or have they?

      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.
