Well I got Peter Crouch first goal scorer correct ... for anyone looking to boost their grand national kitty ;-)


I fully expect Newcastle to dismantle Chelsea on Saturday with Shearer back at Newcastle, and they say things come in 3's so am sticking with a Villa 'dream' win at Old Trafford :-)

I can understand Shearer saying he is only in charge for 8 games to calm down the faithful, but what kind of motivation is that to the players. Surely it is better to think the Manager is going to be around long term.


I read one Geordie say, "8 games, 8 wins, 24 points, we can still make Europe"

Yaye! Proper football is back.


A men to that!!


Proper football as opposed to what, a kick around in the park? Sorry but FFS! Friendlies are a pain in the backside, but international qualifiers and finals are he peak, and should remain so!


I'm in a minority these days, which I think is a shame, but I'd take England lifting the world cup over any cup for any club. And a world cup will always be more interesting than a champions league! Where else can you see a world and european champion getting beat by a reletively tiny African nation, like Senegal beating France in 2002? That is what it should all be about!

Luckily for me Keef I remember very clearly England winning the World Cup in '66. My younger brother was born the day before and although I was only eight at the time I can still remember very clearly how gutted I was that my boyhood hero Jimmy Greaves wasn't playing and looking out for him sitting in his suit behind the England bench.

And I remember the euphoria at winning mixed with the sadness of Greavsie's obvious disappointment but fecking hell what a day and even now when I see pictures of the late great Bobby Moore being carried on the shoulders of his England teammates with the trophy raised in his hands it brings a little tear to my eyes. How I'd long to see England win it again. England's glory. You never forget things like that.

    • DD, "Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃" At least the economy and unemployment weren't in the mess they are now. What is it, give the public sector a whopping pay increase with no strings attached, double the black hole and then blame it on the last Govt. Give me strength. Rachel from accounts shouldn't be anywhere near the economy. The final straw was increasing employer NI contributions and look how that's worked out. Month on month both inflation and unemployment have risen. Won't be long before inflation and u/e are exceeding 5%, but guess what, They'll blame Sunak and go.  Lets have a snap election right NOW, then see how poorly Starmer, Reeves and Rainer do. They're already plotting to get rid of Starmer, and if you think its bad now, you ain't seen nothing yet. Oh and did I mention Starmer wanting to stop Freedom of Speech............................................Normal people can see right through what him and co are doing, great at spending other peoples money, him and co don't have = bankruptcy. We'll just repeat the economic collapse that happened in Greece and wasn't it in Italy as well?
    • One of the best of Shakespeare 's plays.  I did Othello for A level. Also seen a number of stage and film versions. Is there any specific aspects of the play that is difficult for your daughter to understand?  
    • @Sue think this is your quote.  It wasn't binary, good Vs bad, and Corbyn had a lot of popular support, as evidenced by the previous election. He had aot of good policies, some picked up by others since. He was defeated by a mixture of a right wing press,good targeting the Johnson 'Get Brexit Done" and for some that Johnson was a funny loveable rogue/fool/liar/philander/opportunist.  I wouldn't see choosing the perceived least worst candidate out of the two major parties as being "good sense'.  We imagine that Corbyn would have been terrible, but we don't know.  He would have taken a stronger line against Israel in Gaza, not sucked up to Trump nut on Russia?  Would the UK be better for that?
    • We have had 4 greyhounds - the last one, a bitch, was not speyed so we  had to pay for that at our local vet.  Only one dog was nervous around children and only one was cat friendly.
