Another late night post. Must ask Mrs M to hide the computer the next time I go out. Was meant in jest of course. But I'm sure you knew that.

It's the most wonderful time of the year

Evening of the new season, everyone level top, confidence yet to be dented, ahhh...


It's the first set of August midweek fixtures that have always been my favourite though - the balmy summer evening under the floodlights is usually the real indication for me of the season ahead

I think that may be the reason that it was simply ignored.

Blackburn midfielder David Dunn has warned big-spending Manchester City that Rovers will "kick lumps" out of their star players on Saturday.


City, who have spent almost ?100m on players this summer, begin their Premier League campaign at Ewood Park.


"It's important we do our best and kick lumps out of them - fairly of course," Dunn said.


"We must be strong and organised. The main thing is we will have to be really aggressive and knock them about a bit."


He added: "That's what the manager will be asking from our lads. We have to make Ewood Park a place no-one wants to come to again.


And who is the manager of this odious Prem Team, why none other than the odious Allarddyce, this just about sums the twat up and reinforces everything I ever felt about him and his "management" style.

Whilst I normally defend the right of any team to do whatever it takes to win, I too hate "Big Sam", so I'm with you on this one!


I still say though, if I was in the ring with a great boxer, I'd not give a toss about making him look good, I'd be holding on, and fighting dirty!

Mockney - thanks for the suggestion that Birmingham can bore the whole of Old Trafford into a coma. I am as biased as they come in these matters and can't even dream of it happening. Rio will gift us a goal though....

I think you know where I stand on this issue. I've long advocated that the beautiful game be played with artistry, skill and technique. Physicality over ability and skill to me is anathema, and is the root cause of why there are so few good English players in the Prem and why our International standing has slipped. My son who is now nearly 19 remembers vividly being coached by a guy when he first started playing at the age of 6, whose idea of playing the game well was to lump the ball up to the biggest kid on the pitch who was made Centre Forward purely on the basis of his physique. The excuse trotted out by pundits and so called expeerts that the dearth of good English players should be attributed purley to the influx of foreign players is hooey in my opinion, and is exactly that, a poor excuse.

No probs, more noticing that Man U have recently faltered very early on, say losing two games in the first month, people write them out of the championship and then they go and win it.


I predicted them regardless over the last three seasons. I've a feeling Chelsea will do it this time, but it's just a hunch as we've yet to really see how they operate under ancelotti, if they'd kept Guus I reckon they'd have been a shoe in. But I wouldn't be the first to underestimate united in recent years would I.

Just had a cold call from Sky... and so there we have it I've now signed up to ESPN..


MY prediction is that Man City will deliver the goods and break into top 4. Sooner or later they'll click into gear as they do have a strong team - the forward play of Robinho, Tevez, Adebayor and SWP will be hard to stop. As for Champions it'll be between Liverpool and Chelsea.

    • In just two days, we’ll take to the streets to show Donald Trump that he and his politics are not welcome here. On Saturday the global far-right mobilised their biggest protest for decades. We want to show that supporters of Trump and fascism are not the majority – far from it. Here are all the details you need for the day. The march assembles at Portland Place, near the BBC, at 2pm (see assembly blocs below). After speeches here, the march will move off at 3pm. It will then march down Regent St, through Piccadilly Circus, on Whitehall (past Downing St) to our rally at Parliament Square. The rally at Parliament Square will begin around 5pm and finish at 7pm. If you can’t make it to the march, feel free to join the rally after work! (Nearest tube: Westminster). The short, accessible version of the route assembles at the top of Whitehall (SW1A 2DY) at 4.30pm to march to Parliament Square for 5pm. You may also prefer to just join the rally directly at Parliament Square.  Join a bloc – and make friends! Our movement is diverse, and various elements are forming ‘blocs’ on the march to emphasise their visual presence collectively. You can join these blocs or form up behind them:   A) Palestine, near BBC, W1A 1AA B) Climate, W1B 1NS C) Amnesty, around junction with New Cavendish St, W1B 1LU D) Migrants' rights, W1B 1LS E) Jewish bloc, W1B 1QQ F) Ukraine, around junction with Weymouth St, W1B 1JL G) Europe, W1B 1NR More stewards still needed Stewards are a crucial part of keeping the protest safe for everyone to participate. They are a visible point of contact for attendees who may need directions or other assistance. Experience of stewarding is useful but it's also fine if you haven't done it before. You will be issued with a hi-vis jacket and briefed in advance and on the day.  Sign up to be a steward Staying comfortable on the day The demonstration lasts for several hours, so we suggest you should:     Bring a bottle of water and snacks (and eat beforehand)     Charge your phone fully the night before, and bring a portable charger if you can     Go to the loo beforehand (really!)     Buddy up with someone, or stick together as a group – it can be hard to find people easily if people wander off     Coming alone? Protests can be a great place to meet like-minded people. If you feel unsure, you can always talk to a steward     Consider the weather: bring a waterproof jacket or wear suncream where necessary     Wear comfortable clothes and footwear, and use our accessible route if you need to (see above) Bring your friends and family on Wednesday. Let’s make this massive! In solidarity, Stop Trump Coalition
