In a similar vein I watched the DVD of us lifting the League trophy in your back yard, and, even though Wenger told them not, the players celebrating in front of the few die hard lilywhites who had stayed behind to celebrate the 2-2 draw because, as TH14 so brilliantly put it, had been "celebrating as if they had won the world cup!!" Well played

Oh God! Painful memories. I was there. I thought I'd deleted that from my memory banks. It hurt. It hurt really bad. Confound you Atila for reminding me.

Yeah! I'm hoping for a similar result for Spurs at White Hart Lane on the 16th Anna.

Gulp.. just hope Rafa doesn't now go and spread the ?30m too thinly on players who impressed him last season at Hull, Stoke and Wigan.. I'm gonna keep my fingers crossed it'll be spent on one world class player (and certainly not on some ropey Roma midfielder whose played 100 Serie A games in last 7 years).


Watched that friendly on TV Anna and was quite concerned with our display - it's been a poor pre-season and similar to a few years back that culminated in a 5-0 drubbing in Germany.. it spilled over into a poor start to the PL campaign so hopefully history is not repeated as want us up and running in style when we visit WHL.

Wasn't the best was it? I think we took it as training session that it was, but Espanyol were properly up for it so I wouldn't read too much in to it. They were celebrating their goals like they scored in a Champions League final or something.


It will hopefully give Rafa the final push he needs to off load Degen. Waste of space that lad.


You going to Spurs?

Yes Anna going to WHL


The Espanyol celebrations were nothing compared with that of Rapid Vienna who celebrated their goal against us like a last minute World Cup Final winner... I suppose this happens because there is no bigger scalp in educated Europe than that of Liverpool F.C.


I see that attention seeker Ferguson is bored again but this whopper - http://www.football365.com/story/0,17033,8652_5473996,00.html

Ah, I remember the score. It was 4-1 to Liverpool. I also remember the tally of points at the end of the season. It was 90 to 86. You are just jealous because there's no bigger scalp in uneducated Scouseland than United's title...;-)


I can't believe that even in your blinkered world you think that Ronaldo was our only player last season. If you do then you obvioulsy have no grasp of football.


You must be a bit worried now Alonso has gone. Who do you think Rafa will be spending his money on? This Roma player seems a bit of a dud if you ask me.

I put it to you in the same manner as Ferguson suggesting Liverpool only have 2 players (but you'd have to be blinkered not to spot that)... I think most people recognise that Ronaldo was not your only key 'player' last season although some of them have now retired from Refereeing.

Diffence is brains we have, and will win things, unlike Eastenders who have about as much hope of success as finding a Mancunian at Trafford Park.

Yes it was text book stuff, executed in exactly the manner that top coaches advocate ( sorry I;ll have to stop now as I'm laughing uncontrollably while I type this)

    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
    • I do hope NOT, wouldn't trust Farage as far as I could throw him, Starmer & co.  He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.   
    • Everyone gets the point that Corbynites try to make with the "total number of votes cast" statistic, it's just a specious one.  In 2017, Corbyn's Labour got fewer votes than May's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes). In 2019, Corbyn's Labour fewer votes than Johnson's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes); and he managed to drop 2.7 million votes or 6.9% of vote share between the two elections. I repeat, he got trounced by Boris F***ing Johnson and the Tories after the Brexit omnishambles. It is not true that a "fairer" electoral system would have seen Labour beat the Tories: Labour simply got fewer votes than the Tories. Corbyn lost twice. There is no metric by which he won the general election. His failure to win was a disaster for the UK, and let Johnson and Truss and Sunak into office. Corbynites have to let go of this delusion that Corbyn but really won somehow if you squint in a certain way. It is completely irrelevant that Labour under Corbyn got more votes than Labour under Starmer. It is like saying Hull City was more successful in its 2014 FA Cup Final than Chelsea was in its 2018 FA Cup Final, because Hull scored 2 goals when Chelsea only scored 1. But guess what - Chelsea won its game and Hull City lost. Corbyn's fans turned out to vote for him - but an even larger group of people who found him repellant were motivated enough to show up and vote Tory.
    • I guess its the thing these days to demonstrate an attitude, in this instance seemingly of the negative kind, instead of taking pride in your work and have standards then 🤷‍♀️
