I was born in Hammersmith and have lived all over the country. My alleigance to Liverpool stems from my Mum and her family all coming from Crosby and obviously supporting the reds. Not sure if that's a good enough reason, but it's been the reason all my life...:))
Well I'm from Leeds and supported them since Don Revie days. Still support them even though we have ignominiously been relegated to Div 1. (Hurrah Millwall at the Den next season). I can't understand why people born in London don't support London teams (apart from Chelsea obviously). ps. my dear departed dad a scouser who couldn't understand why all his kids (born in Leeds) didn't support Liverpool!

Hello Fellow Gooners, I have been a supporter since the irish days back in 1977 when I was 8 years young. My Mother bought a mini model of Charlie George from East Street market. It was great just paying ?1.10 to stand on the north Bank in crowds of 57,000 against Liverpool back in the eighties. This season has seen a massive transition with young players making their mark on the cup scene and playing big roles in the premiereship.

It's great to be in contact with gooners in ED after 13 years of living around here!

I am another gooner girl now living in East Dulwich, there are a few about, went to the game yesterday ( gutted we missed the opportunity to beat Chelsea, but satisfying to know we stopped them winning premiership!) quite a few gooners seemed to get off the train on way home.


No more home games till next season, can't wait till it all starts again.

Hi Blondie

Think I was on the same train - do you have a shirt with Freddie on the back?

Yes, very good result for both of us last night. Europe beckons for the Spurs again and it's bye bye Charlton. I wouldn't worry too much about the Hammers game at Old Trafford because I think Sheffield Utd will stuff Wigan and, well after the result against Bolton at the weekend I reckon you're pretty safe. Best of luck though, just in case.

I'm a Sheffield United supporter and I am certainly not expecting anyone to get "stuffed" at Bramall Lane on Sunday: I reckon it will it be pretty grim, much like the recent game against Watford. Obviously I want us to win - but, like a lot of other premier league club supporters, will not shed that many tears if we lose 1-0 and West Ham get stuffed and deservedly relegated at Old Trafford.

You're probably right SimonM, it will be a tough game as you're both in the relegation mire but I feel that Wigan are in freefall and the Blades should survive along with West Ham. We'll see next Sunday though. Anything can happen in football as you probably well know.

With no World Cup or Euro Championships to look forward to this summer. I shall be having serious withdrawal symptoms well before next season begins.

Mind you, I thought Fulham were in freefall (actually I've been resigned to West Ham relegationidge for substantial portions of this season), but as you say, anything can happen.


Summer months are survivable. I hugely recommend the Hurling which Mrs O'Mockney introduced me to.

I reckon a couple of 20-20s down the oval should also help to ease the pain.

I have just found out that both the Man Utd v West Ham and Sheff Utd v Wigan games are being televised live by Sky. We are due to arrive in Harrogate for a week early on Sunday afternoon and I have yet to inform SWMBO that I have already lcoated two Harrogate pubs with big Skyports screens.....:)-D>:D

How cool. I wish you well SimonM even if you clearly don't reciprocate ;-P


For the record my best mate at uni was a huge Owls fan and his little brother a Blade, and my mate would delight in going off on painfully researched diatribes to belittle his brother's chosen team.


I can honestly say I've wasted no opportunity to give Lawrie a thumbs up when seeing him in recent years at how much he must be enjoying rubbing his older brother's nose in it these days.

I agree with you Jah, I do enjoy other sports, but nothing is quite the same as the footy! That said, Rugby Union can be great, but it's more fun to play...... Ah memories of6 r 7 years ago when I was actually fit.... :(


I could never play footy, I definitely have 2 left feet, but it's a great sport to watch, which is why it's the biggest sport around the world!

Well good. That is the stuff to give him! And to show there are no hard feelings I hope you beat the Pigs (we never refer to them as "owls") 5-0 twice next season!:))

    • I don't think it is time restricted...the Southwark noise team's website says....(oh and look at the very first item on the list....;-))   Noise issues and nuisances that we can deal with We can help if you're being disturbed by noise coming from: amplified music TV parties nightclubs and pubs including people outside making noise DIY home renovation some construction sites barking dogs alarms / car alarms odours and fumes from commercial properties smoke commercial venues and events dust or noise from some works or equipment in the street fireworks at night from 11pm to 7am - extensions exist for the following festivals: first day of Chinese New Year until 1am the following day on the day of Diwali until 1am the following day New Year's Eve until 1am on New Year's Day 05 November until midnight
    • Surely nobody is going to want books in poor condition, unless they are rare and possibly valuable?
    • Is that not only true within certain hours? I just did a quick Google and this came up (not specifically Southwark): The Noise Act 1996 defines "night hours" as 11 pm to 7 am, and local councils can take action if noise levels are excessive during this time. This means they can issue warning notices or even investigate for a statutory nuisance if the noise is particularly disruptive, according to Gov.uk.  I'm sure it's more complicated than that, and I'm sure it's been discussed on here before, though I can't remember which thread.
    • Get on those waiting lists asap if you haven't already. I waited till after the birth and it was very challenging getting a place once our daughter turned 1.  She ended up at LEYF Camberwell (we had to accept 2 days to start and gradually got to ramp up 5 days). She absolutely loved it there after an initial shaky start but her key worker and team worked really hard to settle her in. They spent a lot of time giving her cuddles and making her feel safe. Great outdoor space and really caring, enthusiastic staff with low turnover. Would highly recommend.
