I quite like and respect Moyes, but either last season, or season before, he became "boy who cried wold". He had a couple of genuine reasons to moan about refs, but then as his team went on a bad run of form, he started ref bashing EVERY week after matches, to the point where you thought "what are you on about", and basically lost all sympathy for him.


Good manager though. Wish he'd leave Everton, so they could go back to flirting with regation every season like they used to >:D<

I chuckled loudly yesterday when I read this from Marina Hyde about her encounter with Big Sam


"That said, there was a Football Writers' one a couple of years back at which I was treated to a lively Sam Allardyce explaining why a woman could know precisely nothing about cricket ? and with his good self not merely unable to recall the name of Muttiah Muralitharan in the course of one peroration, but apparently under the impression that Shane Warne bowled off-spin. As I filled in some of the gaps for him, I noticed that Sam's dinner jacket had leather lapels. It was a magical night.

This made me chuckle from Harry Redknapp about Spurs Russian striker Roman Pavlyuchenko : "Not speaking English is a problem. You've always got his interpreter running around the training ground. Sometimes you pass the ball through the middle and he chases it. And the interpreter is running alongside him and he gets in there and heads into the net."

It seems the co-ordinated personal attack on Rafa Benitez by Ferguson and Big Sam has left both with egg on their face as it has emerged Rafa's gesture was directed at his Liverpool players, Insua and Alonso. The players had ignored Rafa's instructions prior to Liverpool scoring from a free kick, the gesture and smile was to "show the pair that perhaps the manager doesn?t always know best, and the players were right."


The question now is whether either Big Sam or Fergie will apologise. It is one thing having a go another club, but an unprovoked personal attack on another Manager is below the belt. It was a cheap shot from mud slingers and quite frankly the FA should charge Ferguson and Big Sam with bringing the game into disrepute.

Arsenal are my second team at the moment (;-)) and I hope they do the business this afternoon and in Europe. A slight dip in form on Tuesday night would be preferential and then back to winning ways from then on in. Crazy really, Arsenal are one of the only teams that can block United from going on to win in every remaining competition.

Arsenal have to play Chelsea (2) / United (3) / Liverpool (1) in 6 of their remaining 9 fixtures this season (or possibly 8 of last 11)! What a run in! Naturally I want this evening's semi final to reach Extra Time just enough for Adebayor and Fabregas to get a niggle to put them out of Tuesday's clash at Anfield.


Steven Gerrard, it has been announced, is out injured for the Arsenal game.

You've got about as much chance of this happening as I have of becoming pope!!!!

Not a Drogba fan at all - but he took the goal really well - good initial control to take him past the keeper and solid finish considering bouncing ball on dodgy pitch (and I had backed Chelsea on Betfair and doubled up when they went behind - so now I am a Drogba fan:))


Think Chelsea Barca euro games could be worth watching - in fact all four semi final games should be good. Arsenal I'm afraid look the poor relation at the moment but they can always raise their game against MU.

Wasn't "5.2" by any chance? Probably me that laid you.:))....laid Arsenal (small) at the same time but "got out" by laying the draw at "2.02" and at "1.52" so was lucky as I didn't fancy Chelsea b4 the match, at particularly at 0/1...(!)

    • He seemed to me to be fully immersed in the Jeremy Corbyn ethos of the Labour Party. I dint think that (and self describing as a Marxist) would have helped much when Labour was changed under Starmer. There was a purge of people as far left as him that he was lucky to survive once in my opinion.   Stuff like this heavy endorsement of Momentum and Corbyn. It doesn't wash with a party that is in actual government.   https://labourlist.org/2020/04/forward-momentum-weve-launched-to-change-it-from-the-bottom-up/
    • I perceive the problem.simply as spending too much without first shoring up the economy.  If the government had reduced borrowing,  and as much as most hate the idea, reduced government deiartment spending (so called austerity) and not bowed to union pressures for pay rises, then encouraged businesses to grow, extra cash would have entered the coffers and at a later stage when the economy was in a stronger position rises in NI or taxes would have a lesser impact, but instead Reeves turned that on its head by increasing ni which has killed growth, increased prices and shimmied the economy.  What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???     
    • That petition is bananas.   If you want a youth centre there pay the landlord the same rent a Londis would and build it yourself or shut the f**k up to be honest. Wasting our MPs time with this trivial nonsense is appalling. If your kids are still out at 1am on a school night you've got bigger problems than vapes and booze and hot sausage rolls. 
    • There used to be a better baker than Gail's on the same site immediately before Gail's pulled their financial muscle.
