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

    • Direct link to joint statement : https://thehaguegroup.org/meetings-bogota-en/?link_id=2&can_id=2d0a0048aad3d4915e3e761ac87ffe47&source=email-pi-briefing-no-26-the-bogota-breakthrough&email_referrer=email_2819587&email_subject=pi-briefing-no-26-the-bogot_-breakthrough&&   No. 26 | The Bogotá Breakthrough “The era of impunity is over.” That was the message from Bogotá, Colombia, where governments from across the Global South and beyond took the most ambitious coordinated action since Israel’s genocidal assault on Gaza began 21 months ago. Convened by The Hague Group and co-chaired by the governments of Colombia and South Africa, the Emergency Conference on Palestine brought together 30 states for two days of intensive deliberation — and emerged with a concrete, coordinated six-point plan to restrain Israel’s war machine and uphold international law. States took up the call from their host, Colombian President and Progressive International Council Member Gustavo Petro, who had urged them to be “protagonists together.” Twelve governments signed onto the measures immediately. The rest now have a deadline: 20 September 2025, on the eve of the United Nations General Assembly. The unprecedented six measures commit states to:     Prevent military and dual use exports to Israel.     Refuse Israeli weapons transfers at their ports.     Prevent vessels carrying weapons to Israel under their national flags.     Review all public contracts to prevent public institutions and funds from supporting Israel’s illegal occupation.     Pursue justice for international crimes.     Support universal jurisdiction to hold perpetrators accountable. “We came to Bogotá to make history — and we did,” said Colombian President Gustavo Petro. “Together, we have begun the work of ending the era of impunity. These measures show that we will no longer allow international law to be treated as optional, or Palestinian life as disposable.” The measures are not symbolic. They are grounded in binding obligations under international law — including the International Court of Justice’s July 2024 advisory opinion declaring Israel’s occupation unlawful, and September 2024’s UN General Assembly Resolution ES-10/24, which gave states a 12-month deadline to act. UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the occupied Palestinian territory Francesca Albanese called them “a momentous step forward.” “The Hague Group was born to advance international law in an era of impunity,” said South Africa’s Foreign Minister, Ronald Lamola. “The measures adopted in Bogotá show that we are serious — and that coordinated state action is possible.” The response from Washington was swift — and revealing. In a threatening statement to journalists, a US State Department spokesperson accused The Hague Group of “seeking to isolate Israel” and warned that the US would “aggressively defend our interests, our military, and our allies, including Israel, from such coordinated legal and diplomatic” actions. But instead of deterring action, the threats have only clarified the stakes. In Bogotá, states did not flinch. They acted — and they invite the world to join them. The deadline for further states to take up the measures is now two months away. And with it, the pressure is mounting for governments across the world — from Brazil to Ireland, Chile to Spain — to match words with action. As Albanese said, “the clock is now ticking for states — from Europe to the Arab world and beyond — to join them.” This is not a moment to observe. It is a moment to act. Share the Joint Statement from Bogotá and popularise the six measures. Write to your elected representative and your government and demand they sign on before 20 September. History was made in Bogotá. Now, it’s up to all of us to ensure it becomes reality, that Palestinian life is not disposable and international law is not optional. The era of impunity is coming to an end. Palestine is not alone. In solidarity, The Progressive International Secretariat  
    • Most countries charge for entry to museums and galleries, often a different rate for locals (tax payers) and foreign nationals. The National Gallery could do this, also places like the Museums in South Kensington, the British Library and other tax-funded institutions. Many cities abroad add a tourist tax to hotel bills. It means tourists help pay for public services.

    • Surely that depends on the amount.  It can be quite piffling.
