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

    • That's a disgusting slur against an innocent driver who was probably just on their way to drop off freshly-baked muffins at an orphanage when they had to swerve out of the way of a so-called "cyclist", and anyway traffic lights are just a Marxist conspiracy by Southwark Council to slow traffic down and force people out of cars, so we're all better off without it.
    • Frothy coffee? Not really my bag. A double espresso and a Marlboro Red? It's the breakfast of champions. The only dark drink with a creamy head which should ever be drunk by a man of my age is Guinness. I've also become lactose intolerant recently, meaning I get very impatient around milk. You make a fair point, but those legal channels are available for them to recover their repair, and legal, costs and, as I said: "It's up to them if they [Southwark] want to do that, of course." There's three or four grands worth of Cat N write-off, wrapped round a post there (more, if it's broken down for parts) causing problems. If they can't be arsed sorting that, I'm not holding my breath. Even Southwark couldn't screw their numbers up enough to make shifting the post back through circa 15 degrees more than a couple of grand, so there's a drink in it for everyone. It's a bit 'leany' just now, yeah, but I haven't noticed anyone having to limbo under it to get to Superdrugs. Or, they could make a feature of it. Pisa has made a fortune out of not sorting the underpinnings of their tower. Let's say it's an installation by someone called, I don't know, Bangsy, and it's a physical reminder that SE22 cannot deny its proximity to Peckham, Camberwell & Brixton. It's about the only thing that would get me back into The Bishop since the many dark afternoons of the soul I spent with Clarence*, the world's most depressed Weimaraner. *RIP big fella. You were always a great listener.   Come on Spartacus, don't be shy. You know exactly where the Green Cross Code Man was in 1973: less than a hundred yards away, on North Cross Road. https://youtu.be/C-XwVVMiCO4?si=rt8kQllev0t1Lgdi For some years, I found it quite difficult to go into The Forrester's after many long afternoons of the soul with Dave Prowse* (The Green Cross Code Man). *RIP big fella. You were always a great listener.  
    • Loving the arm chair speculation on here  Blimey how long before this gets spun out to be a drug dealer welding a sawn off whilst driving away from a smash and grab at the coop cash machine flipped his car and landed on a bollard type post  Where's the green cross code man when you need him ?
