Bollocks bollocks bollocks! Now fecking way was that a penalty yesterday. It effectively changed the game to Man Utd's advantage. Spurs were fantastic in the first half and I really felt we could have got something out of the game but there's another penalty decision at Old Trafford that's gone in the home side's favour.

At the match it looked like a pen, but having since seen the replay it wasn't, but in situations like that should an indirect free-kick be given instead?, yes Gomes got the ball but he also brought Carrick down, thus taking him out of the game and denying him a chance to retrieve the ball, make a tackle etc...as for dodgy referee decisions, we've had this discussion before, I think they even themselves out over the course of a season, e.g. we should've got a pen last week at Wembley...

Discussion topic. What do people, especially you West Ham fans, think of John Terry's claim that fans should be willing to take a bit of stick back from players that they are giving stick to? I hate to say it, and it will not become a habit, but to a point I agree. I think if I was getting a load of stick, and I scored, I'd want to give a wave to the people giving me abuse. That said, there has to be some professionalism, and sense used, 2 things that Terry knows little about, because he's basically an ignorant thug.

I can kind of see where 'JT' is coming from...


Also I've felt the abuse given to say Ince and Lampard over the years at UP has been counterproductive! I think Lampard is a complete tosser though and takes every opprtunity to slag West Ham and West Ham fans in any interview etc...whereas Ince, has admitted he was young and poorly advised to wear a Manu U shirt whilst still on West Hams books!

Depends on how the player gives the stick back. Cantona went a bit too far, yet still kept most of the neutrals' sympathy as I recall.


Beckham at Man Utd used to have crowds chanting "Posh Spice takes it up the arse" - a chant which in my view merited a good long burst from a machine gun. But all Beckham did when he scored was cup his ear to them...and there are people who claim he is inarticulate!

:'(Saw a re-run of the 1974 Cup Final on Liverpool's Channel last week when they beat Newcastle 3-0.


The commentator said look at those fantastic Newcastle Supporters who have followed their team thru' thick and thin.


Little did they realise that they would win nothing at all for the next 35 years as well, and still counting.

      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.
