This I've heard before, and I don't agree by a country mile!! I remember the sublime goals he scored against Man U, back to goal with Irwin behind him, one touch, and volleys the ball into the net. Was that not a BIG game? The goal he scored against Chelsea at higbury after 1 minute etc etc etc etc etc, I could go on but the problem is I'd be wasting my breath. Or How about When Arsenal were losing against Liverpool at Highbury in the unbeaten season and he beat the whole of the defence and socred. Were none of these aforementioned big games??? If ther weren't it doesn't say a lot about the opposition. Sunshine player my Arse!!! There you go you've pissed me off, you wouldn't let it lie!!! Or how about when we were 2 nil down against Villa at Highbury (season 2001 - 2 I think it was) and he scores in the final seconds for us to win 3 - 2. Give me strength. I'm starting to resort to my old ranting ways which I don't like.


Try to balance your arguments before making such sweeping statements. "Sunshine Player" Indeed!!

Blackburn 1 Aston Villa 0

Chelsea 2 Hull 0

Everton 0 Bolton 1 ( Everton going to be knackered )

Man City 2 Middlesbrough 0

Portsmouth 1 Liverpool 0 ( Adams hangs on for another week )

Sunderland 0 v Stoke 0

West Brom 0 v Newcastle 0

Wigan 1 v Fulham 1


Tottenham 0 v Arsenal 2 ( Does anyone really like spurs )

West Ham 1 Man U 0 ( Just to make the title race more fun )

A Manchester City fan has admitted his embarrassment after having 'Kaka' tattooed on his chest before the Milan star snubbed the club last month.


Did I not mention that its all going wrong up north.


Atila sorry I am an Iron and I like to wind up the Spurs fans. It's childish but it makes me smile and always on a friday.


Happy poets day all.

I knew someone would not like it - I knew it was controversial - I did say he could be absolutley sublime (I had the MU goal in mind) - and really I used him as my link to Larsson. But you have to admit he went missing a few times when needed. I understand Arsenal fans' great loyalty to him, but I also was dissapointed to see he did not make it at Barcelona, where he could have really cemented his reputation.


Noone likes to see their hero's reputation tested, and I agree he did a lot for Arsenal.

Sorry? Did not make it at Barcelona?? He is till there. Do you watch Spanish football, are we talking about the same guy, have you seen the goals he has scored for them this season, or are you just yanking my chain?? I think it's the latter either that or you're a footballing philistine. Calm Down, Calm Down.

He has been scoring some beauties, as have his team who will be THE team to beat in the Champions League. I'm glad to see people make comments based on recent knowledge and robust research.

No mate. I was doing that for myself. We've been there before and we both know there's no need. Friendly banter is fine with me. Quids just likes to wind me up every Friday and I like to let him know that I fall for it every time. Makes him happy I suppose so he can go away and enjoy his weekend in the full knowledge that he's had his little dig at a Spurs fan, sorry a Spud. Little things please little minds.... oh did I just say that! Ahem! Deep breath, in and out, and again. Count to ten. Another deep breath. That's better.

I'm not a big fan of Craig Burley, he is always moaning and their studio pundits are clueless so much so Harry Redknapp has employed two of them to boost his ego..

    • For the past 15 years, I’ve been subjected to persistent passive-aggressive bullying and harassment by my upstairs neighbours. Their behaviour has included tampering with my plants, opening bin bags and questioning me about their contents, and interfering with misdelivered post — some of which appeared to have been opened. There has also been consistent noise disruption, like loud door banging and deliberately dropping heavy objects. They often laugh or stare at me when I’m in the garden, creating a constant sense of intimidation. Much of their conduct is subtle and hard to prove, often falling into a grey area that could easily be dismissed as paranoia, which makes it even more distressing. In the early years, I sometimes responded, but I realised this only seemed to encourage them. Since then, I’ve tried to remain calm and avoid confrontation — but unfortunately, this seems to have escalated things. After the recent death of a close family member, they left a condolence note, which at first seemed kind — but it came with a request to cut back my laurel bush, which I maintain for privacy, as I often feel watched in my own garden. The timing and nature of the request felt inappropriate. Still, I arranged for a gardening service and slightly reduced the laurel, though likely not as much as they wanted. Shortly after, one neighbour commented on how lovely one of my potted plants looked — which struck me as unusual, since we’ve barely spoken in years. Just days later, they told me the same plant looked like it was dying and asked if they should water it. Soon after, it rapidly turned yellow, brittle, and died — in a way that looked clearly unnatural. From photos, it appears the plant was poisoned, likely with a chemical weed killer. Access to that area is restricted — it’s behind a locked front gate monitored by a Smart CCTV camera. No one else had access, and it would be very difficult for someone to climb over the wall unnoticed. Given the timing and condition of the plant, I strongly suspect it was deliberately poisoned. I brought this up in a chat with my next-door neighbours, and they revealed they’d lost three trees along the same fence line over the past few months. One of them had previously been asked for access to cut back those very trees. One of the affected trees was a mature silver birch, whose sudden death should leave chemical evidence if tested. I’ve reported the incident to the Environment Agency and requested soil testing to check for toxins. The police have also been notified. I’ve installed another CCTV camera for additional monitoring. I’m not looking for confrontation — I just want to live peacefully and without further interference. But their behaviour continues to feel calculated and harassing. Has anyone experienced anything similar? What steps would you recommend next? I feel at a loss as to how to protect my space and sanity.
