I'm a lot more excited about this season than I have been for a few years, what with the arrival of Torres at Liverpool!


However, I suspect after a couple of matches I'll be writing off another title charge! We just seem to be incapable of consistency!


Always feel quite confident about getting somewhere in the cups though, I do think we're one of the better cup sides."





Well Torres didn't disappoint (for a couple of seasons at least). And I think we got to the CL Final that year.

Good grief! Mick, How'd you find that?


Dear Santa,


I'll tell you what I want what I really really want - I want Tottenham Hotspur to win the treble this season. Premiership, FA Cup and Champions League.


Not much to ask I know but would be much appreciated.


All my lunch,


Jah. x

I thought I'd save you the effort Ots... ;-)


I was impressed with Mocker's first post, straight in with a big-up for the Hamlet way before it was Hip(ster) to do so...

Over the page - because I have just watched Euro 1996 and Jahs OP about McLaren perhaps puts 2016 in perspective

New Celtic signing Moussa Dembele tells it how it is.... :)


Ironically, Dembele could have been hearing the Champions League anthem at White Hart Lane. Tottenham Hotspur wanted the striker last January. ?It was between the clubs to get an agreement and they didn?t,? said Dembele. ?At the time, it was disappointing, now, I have to say ?thanks? because this is a better opportunity for me. First, Celtic is a bigger club in Europe than Tottenham.


?I know I could earn more somewhere else, but I wouldn?t have the opportunity to play. A club like Celtic does not come along often in your life.?

I don't think that's such a bad thing. He knows the job and if it wasn't for Beckham getting sent off in '98 we could have quite possibly gone a lot further in that competition. I know he wasn't known for his man management skills but I'd hope that he has learnt from that. Glenn's a very talented coach and the players will have respect for him. I'd have liked to have seen Southgate given the job but he doesn't want it.

And that's it in a nutshell. He'd only be a bit part player at Spurs.

Sam's the Man.........has a ring about it. On the change in fortunes with the rugby team that MM referred to, a lot has got to be down to Eddie Jones not taking any s**t. You're either on form for your club or you're not selected. I wish the same approach was applied to football where it just seems that the manager is 'friends' with the players and shows them 'loyalty'. Well eff that. You want to play for your country then earn it. There shouldn't be any brownie points earned to be used when you are semi recovered from an injury or a bit off form. England needs someone with a mouth to manage the team. Maybe even Sam.

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      By CPR Dave · Posted

      It took the Tories 14 years to dig that 20bn blackhole. It's taken Labour 14 months to double it.  You cant get rid of Reeves though because the next person will actually be totally incompetent. There are no MPs in Labour capable of performing better than the current shower.

      Thanks P. That sounds like a bargain compared to other horror stories I've heard!

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      By jazzer · Posted

      DD, "Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃" At least the economy and unemployment weren't in the mess they are now. What is it, give the public sector a whopping pay increase with no strings attached, double the black hole and then blame it on the last Govt. Give me strength. Rachel from accounts shouldn't be anywhere near the economy. The final straw was increasing employer NI contributions and look how that's worked out. Month on month both inflation and unemployment have risen. Won't be long before inflation and u/e are exceeding 5%, but guess what, They'll blame Sunak and go.  Lets have a snap election right NOW, then see how poorly Starmer, Reeves and Rainer do. They're already plotting to get rid of Starmer, and if you think its bad now, you ain't seen nothing yet. Oh and did I mention Starmer wanting to stop Freedom of Speech............................................Normal people can see right through what him and co are doing, great at spending other peoples money, him and co don't have = bankruptcy. We'll just repeat the economic collapse that happened in Greece and wasn't it in Italy as well?

      Seeking an English Lit A Level tutor to focus on Othello

      By Pugwash · Posted

      One of the best of Shakespeare 's plays.  I did Othello for A level. Also seen a number of stage and film versions. Is there any specific aspects of the play that is difficult for your daughter to understand?
