Of course that 49 game stretch would have been 50, if Wayne Rooney had not done his disgraceful dive to cheat United to a penalty. A dive so bad that even Ronaldo would have blushed. One of the most diabolical decisions in any given season was that penalty.


Let's face it when United won the treble they were extremely lucky. We can talk about Liverpool being lucky in Istanbul due to be being 3-0 down at half time when in the end they fought back and deserved their win... but United in 1999, 2 corner kicks in injury time against a dominant Bayern Munich, oh puuurrlease...


Chuck in the all the diving over the years, snarling, kicking, conning referees, United would not have achieved half of what they did if the Referees in this country had any bottle... and that's a FACT!

I've no axe to grind, in fact, if I had to choose I'd like Arsenal to have won out of the big teams...but Man U are a class above the rest of you 'big boys' so why don't you pick up your toys..it really sounds sour grapes from big teams moaning about luck and refs cheating etc.... try being fans of sides who don't have you 'luck' and bias decisions as a matter of course....

What chance United slip up at Newcastle tonight.. is it possible the Geordies (a club I've always admired for their winning mentality, team work and resolute defence), can pull off a shock!? Is it possible Ferguson will take pity on Newcastle and only send out 8 players to make it a competitive game before putting Van Der Saar back in goal for the 2nd half instead of Rio!?


It's twenty years ago almost to the day that Liverpool trailed Arsenal by 19 points and swung it 22 points before that final, fateful night at Anfield when ... well you all know what happend ...


March 1st, 1989, Liverpool started the ball rolling with an unconvincing 2-0 win over Charlton at Anfield ... does this ring any bells for anyone!? Title charge, not over yet!?

I can't see Mancs slipping up against the geordies. As I've said before the title is there's to lose. Liverpool and Chelski haven't got a prayer. When a bookie pays out on Mancs winning title ( yes I know they got it wrong once before) you can rest assured they know what they are doing.

Now we are getting to the true crux of a football argument...who has the ugliest players! :))


I am of the firm opinion that Fergie, having had his fingers burnt by 'Brylcream Boy' Beckham, now has a policy to sign players that only a mother could love.

Which bookie has paid out Atila - is it Paddy Power?

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      Boil - it’s the customer’s fault, not the delivery person’s.

      Promo counter/ trade-show stand wanted for community art project.

      By Lillo · Posted

      A bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      By Rockets · Posted

      No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.

      Electrician (Highly recommended) - James Seth

      By AlanMBarr · Posted

      I would also like to add my recommendation for James.  I had taken four names of electricians from the forum - in the order I had read the reviews.  First three no response - even days later. I phoned James this morning. He answered, gave me a time, stuck to it, messaged again 15 mins before arrival.  He fixed my problem on the spot.  Sensible charge out fee. Perfect service.
