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!

and oi keef, no! West stand is bigger than anything at Anfield, awight!!!

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.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
