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...(!)

    • I was woken around midnight the other night as a Lime man tried to untangle a heap of three bikes someone had piled on my driveway. They block the pavements and people knock them over in frustration. I wrote to Lime and told them that in future any bikes left near my property would be securely stored away for collection at a mutually convenient time for both parties. I confiscated one at the weekend but a man knocked on our door looking to rent it while I was at work and my son gave it to him! I told Lime it's not fair of them to push the problem on to the local collection depots, they create the problem by allowing users to dump the things wherever they like. If they were penalized for doing so that would put an end to it.

    • The address is: Bradbury Oak House, 4 Underhill Road, SE22 0AH
    • "2.2.1 The Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) has undertaken a comprehensive consultation process with its residents and stakeholders regarding the proposed development which aims to create 41 additional units and has been designed to address the growing demand for accessible and supportive accommodation for individuals with visual impairments. 2.2.2 The consultation process has been a key part of the planning phase, ensuring that the needs and preferences of current residents are taken into account. RNIB has held several meetings, workshops, and surveys to gather feedback on the design, facilities, and overall impact of the new development. Residents have been encouraged to share their views on various aspects, including accessibility features, communal spaces, and the integration of the new blocks with the existing infrastructure which has directly informed the proposals. 2.2.3 The Applicant also engaged with the local MP, Helen Hayes, and a couple of local councillors at the behest of RNIB tenants to provide new homes to promote independent living for its Blind and Partially Sighted residents"     Seems like a very sensible and necessary proposal to me.
