>>SimonM where are you? Do we have any Wendies on the forum or is it down to a part-time Leeds fan to mock the first double to the Owls since 1913-4!!! Ouch.<<


I am sulking under my desk, but enjoyed the positive spin the Blades supporter put on it in "The Observer" - "it only happens once every 95 years". Yeah true....Colin now lives in Beckenham so is almost your neighbour Keef. Anyone else see him on Question of Sport on Friday?


Kevin Blackwell has barely been in charge a year, and United have won rather more than they have lost under him, but already the knives are out amongst a certain section of the "supporters". It seems to me some people follow a football club for the sole reason of shouting abuse at the manager...Oh well roll on Saturday and the (untelevised dammit) FA Cup against Hull: be interesting to see how/if the team bounces back!B)

Pompey Update

Avram Grant - top price 6/4


Alan Curbishley - 3/1


Paul Hart - 14/1


Sven-Goran Eriksson - 16/1


Stuart Pearce - 16/1



THE OUTSIDERS (and what they might say in their first pre-match team talk


Neil Warnock - 20/1: "If it doesn't work out we can always sue West Ham."


Louis van Gaal - 20/1: "What on earth am I doing here? Was I hypnotised?"


Gordon Strachan - 20/1: "I thought Portsmouth fans loved ex-Southampton managers?"


Paul Jewell - 22/1: "At least you're not as bad as Derby. Are you?"


Slaven Bilic - 22/1:"Look, just give it to Kranjcar. OK?"


Darren Ferguson - 25/1: "Hi, Dad... I'm putting you on speaker phone."


Joe Jordan - 25/1: "Just pretend I'm doing Harry's team talk for him."


Glenn Hoddle - 25/1: "Stay up or you'll come back as a donkey."

Some of those managers might be worth considering pre-season but not when you're already in the trenches fighting for existence.


I cannot believe anyone would employ Stuart Pearce as a manager again, although if he sits next to Capello long enough there'll always be someone gullable enough to believe it's the failed manager of both Nottm Forest and Man City who is actually pulling the strings. Simply put Pearce is another Tony Adams.


What odds now that Chelsea have SACKED Scolari - it's the Brazilian?

It's sad that young managers aren't being give more a chance. But, if you're an ex-pro entering management, it's probably better in the long-term to go the Martin O'Neill route and learn the trade at the lower level, and out of the media spotlight, then be a Gareth Southgate who is under pressure game after game.

Scolari gone.....jaysus!


Who can they get in at this stage of a season? Anyone good is already at a club and battling for honours. Ray Wilkins as caretaker for the rest of season?


Come back Jose, all is forgiven. Chelsea fans must be wondering where it all went wrong. And if anyone suggests Zola or Di Matteo they need examining.

Good grief! Slolari gone...well, results speak for themselves and they've been crap at home this season but they are still third in the Premiership and still in the Champions League but even Toad Of Toad Hall had a better match by match record.


I went to Spurs yesterday and reading the papers this morning I've seen that the myopic Mad Professor is at it again. "We had the best of chances (eh?), we scored a regular goal that was cancelled out by an illusionary foul seen only by the referee. I've seen it two times and I still don't know why it was disallowed."


Facts

(1) Spurs shots on target 5, Arsenal 2

Spurs shots off target 11, Arsenal 4.


(2) Ball possession - Spurs 56% Arsenal 44%.

(3) Pass completion - Spurs 74% Arsenal 69%


(4) What the feck is "an illusionary foul"? Eboue pushed Woodgate twice and was tripped by Adebayor into the bargain and the referee blew for the foul long before the ball was in the back of the net.

(5) He claims he's seen it twice. Normally he says he didn't see it. I'd say he was under the influence of some powerful mind expanders and was hallucinating off his tits because he was certainly watching a different game from the one I watched yesterday.


Having said that I think Robbie Keane looked a little off the pace from his bench warming times at Liverpool and we missed the cutting edge of Jermain Defoe. However, Arsenal did well with ten men and made it very difficult for us with their defending.

I thought William Gallas had a fantastic game at the back but my man of the match was Wilson Palacious who had a fantastic home debut. He tackles brilliantly (and you don't see that too much these days, it's a bit of a dying art) wins the ball, has a good passing range and even came close with a rasping 20-yarder.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
