Sounds like a great idea - although I may elect to hide behind the sofa. So exciting....

I watched the 2005 final in the city with work. There's a couple of red supporters here and they think we need to return to the exact same place to bring us luck, so I may have to stay in town :(

It is a good idea, but not the Vile please!


2 Years ago, myself and I've-met-Jimmy watched the final in the EDT (I have no idea why we turned our backs on out beloved CPT for the night), so this time we're torn between CPT (Spiritual home), and EDT (for superstitious reasons)......


Oh what to do?!?!?!? :-S

I think we should change the name of this thread to Football Supporters in East Dulwich. I think Liverpool are really going to have to go some to beat Milan after watching last night's performance. They were absolutely superb and of course it's always good to see Man Utd get a good tonking. Obviously, I want Liverpool to win the final and if I can quote my Liverpool daft niece here "Done 'em once and we'll do 'em again...we always do it when it matters."

I remember that 96 final like it was yesterday. Afterwards, we bought a Cantona figure (you know, one of those with the big heads) and melted it in a fire. Childish I know, but it made me feel better! Bloody Utd and their late spawny goals....


You're right though, Jah Lush, it's going to be a tricky game. But as Gerrard has said today - LFC are feared because they don't go out without a fight. Can't wait!


Poor Lady G - we've somehow got away from the Arsenal supporters question. Sorry!

Anna, I guarantee you you weren't as heartbroken as I was almost exactly a year ago (i'm sure you were thrilled that day), after wiping the dust from my eyes, I got into a canoe to get to our destination on a trip down the Wye, fell in the river, capsized the boat then the heavens opened on me.

I can honestly say it was a lower sporting moment than any other I can remember, even Italia '90.


Jah Lush, go ahead, I won't complain, though I'm hoping Bolton will do us a favour by losing, and Chelsea do us a favour by losing to Man U, so they field a rubbish team in preparation for their Cup Game.

I once saw a ginger S**thampton fan in East Dulwich!


It was the day of the S**thampton / Arsenal cup final which I think I watched in the old Forresters.


A GINGER S**thampton Fan. UGH!


Anyway, then I saw him again.


A year ago (just over)


In the Vale one lunchtime on 24th April 2005. He was crying. It was the best day of my life!

Lived there for years actually, and went to Anfield often... Plus, I got in to football relatively later in life, and when I decided on Liverpool, they'd not won anything in ages, and I waited ages for them to win anything else... Take it you're at the Hamlet every week then? ;-)

I was born in Madrid but won't support a business machine like Real despite having been born within a stonesthrow of the Bernabeu.


When we arrived in England we did a tour of London with dad and my big bruv got all excited around Upton Park for reasons noone can remember, consigning us to 29 years of torment. But we've stuck with it as it should ever be.


I've no issue with a Londoner who supports Liverpool as long as they were vocal about it when they were banned from Europe, and weren't winning anything, and as long as they come down to that Hamlets or Fisher or Barnet or whatever to support their local team.

    • Exactly what I said, that Corbyn's group of univeristy politics far-left back benchers would have been a disaster during Covid if they had won the election. Here you go:  BBC News - Ex-union boss McCluskey took private jet flights arranged by building firm, report finds https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp3kgg55410o The 2019 result was considered one of the worst in living memory for Labour, not only for big swing of seats away from them but because they lost a large number of the Red-wall seats- generational Labour seats. Why? Because as Alan Johnson put it so succinctly: "Corbyn couldn't lead the working class out of a paper bag"! https://youtu.be/JikhuJjM1VM?si=oHhP6rTq4hqvYyBC
    • Agreed and in the meantime its "joe public" who has to pay through higher prices. We're talking all over the shop from food to insurance and everything in between.  And to add insult to injury they "hurt " their own voters/supporters through the actions they have taken. Sadly it gets to a stage where you start thinking about leaving London and even exiting the UK for good, but where to go????? Sad times now and ahead for at least the next 4yrs, hence why Govt and Local Authorities need to cut spending on all but essential services.  An immediate saving, all managerial and executive salaries cannot exceed and frozen at £50K Do away with the Mayor of London, the GLA and all the hanging on organisations, plus do away with borough mayors and the teams that serve them. All added beauracracy that can be dispensed with and will save £££££'s  
    • The minimum wage hikes on top of the NICs increases have also caused vast swathes of unemployment.
    • Exactly - a snap election will make things even worse. Jazzer - say you get a 'new' administration tomorrow, you're still left with the same treasury, the same civil servants, the same OBR, the same think-tanks and advisors (many labour advisors are cross-party, Gauke for eg). The options are the same, no matter who's in power. Labour hasn't even changed the Tories' fiscal rules - the parties are virtually economically aligned these days.  But Reeves made a mistake in trying too hard, too early to make some seismic changes in her first budget as a big 'we're here and we're going to fix this mess, Labour to the rescue' kind of thing . They shone such a big light on the black hole that their only option was to try to fix it overnight. It was a comms clusterfuck.  They'd perhaps have done better sticking to Sunak's quiet, cautious approach, but they knew the gullible public was expecting an 24-hour turnaround miracle.  The NIC hikes are a disaster, I think they'll be reversed soon and enough and they'll keep trying till they find something that sticks.
