I just have not got a clue who will win the Premiership. Its too difficult this year. Agree with MP that if Chelsea had Hiddink thay would be big favourities.

Don't fancy MU this year. Just think that last year there 13 games without conceding a goal won it for them. Loss of Tevez will be important not just Ronaldo.

Liverpool I think could win it if they continued their tactics from the last 1/3 of last season but you don't know what Rafa is going to do next.

Arsenal, I suspect they will do well if they can secure a top striker to replace Adebayor before the end of season, but have not seen them linked to anyone and that concerns me.

I think Arshavin will be the player of the season and the team with the best player is often not far off.


I'm drifting towards betting on Arsenal.




Hey - I don't know this Mick Mac guy but he really knows his football....does he not.....

Ha ha, so true.


Some great goals yesterday. Future England stalwart Noble with a cracker too!!

Hats off to Wigan, had to feel sorry for Hull though a fair result ultimately.


Man City rode their luck a bit, I think they could end up being the new Keegan's Newcastle.

Is there an adjective for that btw?

Man City more likely to be the new Chelsea than Newcastle


Mark Hughes has certainly displayed a lot of arrogance this summer - money talks!


I almost choked on my cornflakes when reading that Alex Ferguson, no doubt since Ronaldo's departure, has quickly jumped back onto his high horse with this horse shit - http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/120886/Fergie-takes-on-the-cheats

Or the fact that Spuds and Celtic fans are required to have a sense of humour because of the teams they support.

Well, what a turn up. Didn't see the Liverpool game but it's certainly not the season start they'd have wanted. Still, United have had starts like that and still come back. Spurs and Everton were the two hardest games of the first weekend. I wonder if Burnley will come out all guns blazing on wednesday night as that could be a banana skin for us.


Anna, Matt, any analysis? Did you miss Alonso? Sounded like Torres was struggling with fitness, an ankle injury was that right? I'll take a look at MotD tonight.

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
