Love it when fans of other clubs accuse Arsenal fans of "crowing", especially if they support a club that haven't won the title in many decades.

I wonder of SAF was in agreement with the decision to sack Moyes or if he continued to support him - and also if SAF's opinion will have much weight for the next appointment.


It will be more of a group decision making process this time I imagine.

Oh dear, you need to take your medicine and go for a lie down in a darkened room, you're obviously unwell, bless.

I remember being at this game - standing in the North Bank - it was the beginning of a tide of change towards MU in English football. 4 years after his appointment.



"This was the night on which Ferguson finally located United's G-spot, when he swapped Sextonian football with sexy football to quite devastating effect. Arsenal were an outrageously good side, who would lose only once in winning the league and concede only 18 goals in 38 league games, but Ferguson dropped his captain Neil Webb, went with a 4-2-4 formation and watched United tear Arsenal asunder on the counter-attack.


Lee Sharpe, 19, grabbed the glory with a marvellously accomplished hat-trick - strangely, none of them came with his left foot - but the real facilitator was Danny Wallace. Asked to play centre-forward in what is probably the biggest tactical masterstroke of Ferguson's career, he was as elusive as an urchin pickpocket and gave Tony Adams and Steve Bould an almighty chasing. Wallace made four, scored one and - truthfully - played like Romario. For him, alas, it was a false dawn. For United and Ferguson, it was the start of a decade of the richest entertainment."

As delayed ripostes go this takes some beating. Give me a month or so and I shall come back with "Your mum."

Very imaginative, take a gold star and go back to your padded room before you hurt yourself.

Brilliant.


His form normally reflects where he is in his contract no?

They've got no chance so this little baby will run a while longer.

      Resident Doctors

      By ianr · Posted

      This week's edition of The Briefing Room I found really useful and impressively informative on the training aspect.  David Aaronovitch has come a long way since his University Challenge day. 😉  It's available to hear online or download as mp3. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002n7wv In a few days time resident doctors -who used to be known as junior doctors - were meant to be going on strike. This would be the 14th strike by the doctors’ union since March 2023. The ostensible reason was pay but now the dispute may be over without more increases to salary levels. The Government has instead made an offer to do something about the other big issue for early career doctors - working conditions and specialist training places. David Aaronovitch and guests discuss what's going on and ask what the problem is with the way we in Britain train our doctors? Guests: Hugh Pym, BBC Health Editor Sir Andrew Goddard, Consultant Gastroenterologist Professor Martin McKee, Professor of European Public Health, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine Mark Dayan, Policy Analyst, Nuffield Trust. Presenter: David Aaronovitch Producers: Caroline Bayley, Kirsteen Knight, Cordelia Hemming Production Co-ordinator: Maria Ogundele Sound Engineers: Michael Regaard, Gareth Jones Editor: Richard Vadon

      The Office Party - how it used to be.

      That was one that the BBC seem to have lost track of.  But they do still have quite a few. These are some in their 60s archive. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0028zp6
