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.

      Anyone experiencing even greater issues securing a GP appointment with Tessa Jowell GP practice?

      By COYS1961 · Posted

      I hope it's ok to use this thread to ask for advice on a separate issue in relation to TJ Medical Practice. A friend of mine who is registered there has recently been diagnosed with a serious long-term condition. He has been struggling to find a good GP at the practice since the departure of Dr Love and I said I would try to find out which of the remaining GPs other patients have found most capable and sympathetic - particularly for the scenario of overseeing ongoing care for a long-term progressive illness. Is there any particular GP that people would recommend?  Very many thanks.

      Dulwich Gail's bakery will open on Xmas Day in "shameful" move

      By spark67 · Posted

      I,m not a fan of Gales; but a lot of food serving premises open on Xmas day , so not unusual, worked in catering for nearly 40 years and staff usually get extra pay… My niece who is in her last year of college & wants to go travelling next summer, is waitressing in a restaurant near where she lives on Xmas day & Boxing Day for £20 per hour to boost her travelling fund. Back in the day I worked New Year’s Day 2000, & had my pay bumped to £50 per hour, happy days (wasn’t forced I volunteered)

      Dulwich Gail's bakery will open on Xmas Day in "shameful" move

      Hardly strange; arcane perhaps. It used to be a common practice in many towns for the swings, roundabouts etc in parks to be chained up by the council on Sundays, so that they didn’t provide a source of reckless pleasure on the sabbath. The outrage that a cake shop should open on Christmas Day reminded me of this. The policy had pretty much died out in England and Wales by the 70’s but is still in force in parts of the Highlands and Islands of Scotland.

      I would be interested to learn if Gail's hike their prices on Christmas day. I don't go to Gail's (as I prefer Christophers on HM Lane) but if anyone does go and detects a bit of price gouging, please let us all know.
