Don't go SP, just have footy chat with everyone else, and don't read Matt's posts when you see his name at the top of them.


As for Atila, you know (and I guess he'd admit) he gets very wound up, very easily, so why not just ignore him too, otherwise you say something back, he gets wound up, and then a row starts.


It's all playground nonsense anyway. Man U are top of the pile at the moment, can't you just be pleased about that, and take insults as envy?


Liverpool won't get relegated I'm afraid, and think of your poor father-in-law!

What the hell has happened to the old football fixtures of Christmas? Gone are the days of playing 4 times over the festive period - now we have been left with just 2 games on 26th & 28th December. The PL games either side of this are 19th Dec and 9th Jan. Not forgetting that the Easter programme has long been discarded. The traditions of football have been sacrificed for midweek winter fixtures in mid December and early February, its just wrong, plain old wrong!

I was once told that if you drank lots of alcohol you wouldn't suffer from PMT, works for me. :)-D

In effect only one game has been scrapped over Christmas as we have the FAC on 2 January. Even with 2 games in 3 days there'll be clubs who moan about playing games so close together...As for midweek games, two before Christmas and two after doesn't seem so bad. The ones after Christmas are in London which is a bonus.

Keef, as far as I'm concerned it's all banter, and yes I'm as guilty as anyone else of winding peoiple up , and not just SP. I'm afraid Man Ure bring out the worst in me and I can't help myself, I know I should try to get over my hatred of them but I can't, and I genuinely do despise them more than Spurs and only marginally less than Chavski. I've had to put up with some shit in the past on this forum, but what you gonna do eh? Oh well, c'est la vie.

I agree with Atila it's just gentle banter - if people are taking it as a personal assault on their own character then maybe we should tone it down a little and focus on boring stuff (like I guess they do on the cricket thread) such as what is ideal air pressure in a football... zzzzzzzzzz


It's a shame that not everyone could turn up for the End of Season Football Focus drinks as that may have thawed some of the unnecessary ice.

Looks like a photo shoot of the new Spanish training gear


Apparently Nando has a new nickname... Bruno

I noticed, in another attempt to ostracise me, you held the end of season drinks while I was on holiday! ;)


I also don't think that calling a player a 'snarling, egotistical bastard' then going on to suggest that the reason he was like that was because he played for my club is 'gentle banter'. I'd hate to read what you'd say if you weren't being gentle.

Well it was the last game of the season.. otherwise we'd have waited.. besides Mick Mac turned up to represent Manchester United, although after a few drinks I think he was ready to sing YNWA!


I suppose we could make it another end of season drinks for the Lions game in EDT on Saturday afternoon as it appears there aren't many rugby fans in East Dulwich - see http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?20,292707 to post interest

      Chango - New local gem alert!

      By Sue · Posted

      But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?

      Poundland East Dulwich soon to be replaced by Tesco Express

      ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."

      You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
