Whilst the FA ask Fergie to explain his personal attack on Referee Alan Wiley (in your own time Sir Alex...) - the FA have charged Rafa with improper conduct for jokingly taking his glasses out of his pocket when asked about a Referee's performance.


It does make you wonder exactly what favours are still owed United by the FA since they forced United to participate in the infamous World Club Championship held in Brazil back in 2000...


It does make the stomach churn when it's one rule for one...

He should take lessons from Ferg, he is one funny guy, take his comic turn last weekend involving the ref for example, right up there with Laurel & Hardy or the Chuckle Brothers!

Sad for Barnes but the greatest footballers don't always make the grade at managerial level - but what I don't understand having waited so long for a second chance, after a similarly short spell at Celtic, was having Jason McAteer as his assistant. Nothing against McAteer but one of his nicknames at Anfield was that of Trigger (as in Only Fool's and Horses).


I just hope Barnes does not try and pimp himself on Sky / ESPN / BBC in the same way we have seen with likes of Strachen and Ian Dowie in the past.

As the forum won't be up and running when the next batch of games comes up, here are my predictions


Arsenal 5 v Birmingham 1

Aston Villa 1 v Chelsea 2

Everton 1 v Wolverhampton 0

Man Utd 3 v Bolton 1

Portsmouth 1 v Tottenham 0

Stoke 2 v West Ham 1

Sunderland 1 v Liverpool 1


Blackburn 2 v Burnley 0

Wigan 0 v Man City 2


Fulham 2 Hull 0

Ok fair dos. Plus -


Ukraine 1 England 3


Arsenal 4 Birmingham 0

Aston Villa 1 Chelsea 2

Everton 3 Wolverhampton 0

Man Utd 3 Bolton 1

Portsmouth 0 Tottenham 3

Stoke 2 West Ham 1

Sunderland 2 Liverpool 2


Blackburn 2 Burnley 2

Wigan 1 Man City 3


Fulham 3 Hull 0

Sorry about this but this thread has reached the point where it messes up the forum software, intermittently new posts no longer mean the thread appears at the top of the Lounge message list.


Please could someone start a new Football Focus thread and link back to this one, just copy and paste this URL

    • What is the reason for the change in name? Just curious.
    • Why change it?  You’ve got a fantastic historic, memorable name and you want to change it for something innocuous.
    • From the school newsletter:   A New Name for Dog Kennel Hill As you know we have been discussing and consulting with stakeholders about a  name change at DKH for a while. Following engagement with staff, pupils and  families, we gathered all views on a name change for the school and after  careful consideration of the feedback, the Local Committee and the Trust have  agreed with changing the school name to Grove Primary School from  September 2025.  Over the next few months we will begin a gradual process of changing our  name on signage, our website and emails etc. We will keep you updated.  We will be looking at designing a new logo to match the new school name and  will be working closely with a graphic designer to get creative. The school  council will be actively involved in this process. We will share the results with  you as soon as a design has been agreed and confirmed. We will be creating a  new school jumper to replace the old one, once the logo has been finalised. We  will phase this in over time.  We know that this is a welcoming change for some and that there are  parents and children who will be sad about the change. However, as a school  we think it will be a positive change for our school community and we will  work together to ensure that the ethos and culture of DKH will remain!
