Just ripped this after another website but who is the Manager that I've *** out?


"People said I was mad to sign him" - when a player does well, *** takes absolutely all the credit.


"I'm down to the bare bones here" - pre-match excuse for losing.


"My missus could have (insert anything here)" - confidence boosting, the *** way.


"The fans are gonna love him" - about to sign a troublemaker.


"Of course I'd love (insert player) in my team, but I can't talk about him as he's at another club" - a sentence that totally vexes The F.A, who continually fail to spot the glaring mistake and admission of naughtiness in it.


"For sure" - used like a normal person uses a full stop.

golly


its all kicking off in Scotland


what appeared initially to be Ferguson & McGregor having a little drink after the return from Holland early on Sunday morning, has turned into a full scale war.


First Burley suspends them for the Hampden game against Iceland, relegating them to the bench


Today Walter Smith has fined them 2 weeks wages, suspended them from Rangers and put them on the transfer list


Now the SFA have banned them from playing for the national team again for life



It makes the trials and tribulations of tear stained & permenantly emotionally scarred Ashely Cole & his derisory ?55K a week ( after tax & NI ) offer from Arsenal, look a bit inspid init

Thanks Ratty... I feel very sad - we might be relegated and then be liquidated.


I think the club will be sold but I don't think we will escape a 10 point deduction. I think that deduction will be next season though.


Anyone got any spare cash?

Absolutely ecstatic with the late winner for Liverpool down at Fulham. It was a full throttle singing of 'we gonna win the league' for a good 20 minutes after final whistle - my abdominals and head are aching like never before. MOTD cameras even caught me going mental when Yossi bagged the crucial goal (I was the one in the wooly top doing star jumps! ;-)


Before the game milling through the Liverpool turnstiles was Hollywood actress Vanessa Redgrave, hunched over and looking very much her 72 years of age. She was sat in the executive terrace overhanging the corner of the Liverpool end, alongside the very subdued Liam Neeson. But such was the climax to the game followed by perhaps the most magnificent singing and bouncing on seats I have ever witnessed, or certainly since my trip to Istanbul, they to also got caught up in the electric celebrations. Liam Neeson was to be seen punching his fists, and Vanessa Redgrave was bouncing up and down, like a child, holding a Liverpool shirt - and this was a full 10 to 15 minutes after final whistle! Such was the power of this amazing finale in Fulham that everyone could momentarily forget their troubles.


Just imagine if Liverpool actually win the Title!!

Well gutted with United's late winner. That will give United an incredible short term boost which in effect was probably the weakest line-up they've selected in the Premiership for a very long time or certainly this season. I counted 4 players, Van Der Saar, Carrick, Ronaldo, Evra who'd make their first choice XI.


It might only be 48 hours but I expect United to blow Porto away on Tuesday night, and pretty much wipe the floor with Sunderland on Saturday. I honestly think that if United had not scored that winner - United would be on their back and out for the count and it would be a nailed on Liverpool title. However, that's football and United will now feel more confident with a theoretical 4 point lead.


Until the next watershed moment (not pun intended)..

Good to see 27,000 through the turnstyles on Saturday though. That's the only way the club are going to have their bank balance boosted at the moment.

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
