Don't even know why I mention the spelling? I'm forever getting it wrong. And my typings is atrocious as well!


No need for playoff - I think on balance justice was done and head-to-head comparison seems fair (if Arsenal were close enough to do that we would have trounced everyone at the top)

Ha ha. Yes, today's the day isn't it.

I've a sneaking suspicion that having survived 4 flights in 2 weeks, I may have to pay for such good fortune with my team's premiership status. (I'm not only a terrible flyer I have a nibbly-pibbly theory of the universe which works a bit like karma but for luck)

There is absolutely no way they will be relegated! Even if the board find in favour of Shef U, the league can still refuse to change their minds.... I suspect the league would rather go to court with Shef U than West Ham, if only for the fact that West Ham are richer!
Oh, and I'd like to add that I hope Shef U rot in the Championship and never come up again. Miserable whinging gits! I've never known a team to clutch at straws so much, and Warnock cursed both Liverpool and Chelsea's cup finals (not that I care about the latter) because he was a sad bitter little man! (6)

No worries Keef, sometimes there's too much vim and not enough spleen. I for one appreciated your comments. Plus I'm prone to extremely acerbic posts on days like today. I'm keeping a lid on it today because I just don't have the energy to be bitter. (actually strictly speaking that's sour, but you get what I'm saying)


Any news on the hearing yet?

>>Oh, and I'd like to add that I hope Shef U rot in the Championship and never come up again.<<


Well If West Ham *do* get to avoid justice and remain in the Premiership next season I hope they finish rock bottom


Pleasantly surprised to see that Liverpool have supported us (i.e., Sheffiled United) at the Arbitration hearing, but I don't think many United fans expect to be reinstated. I am just glad they are putting up a fight. West Ham are clearly rattled by this possiblity though

>>I did lose sympathy when Warnock basically said he hoped Liverpool would lose the champs league, I just thought that >>was a bit nasty.:D< . It seems poetic justice to me that Liverpool, having disrespected the Premier league, should fail to win the Champions League.

    • Maybe. Does that kill grass? If so, possibly the same dog that has left its poo outside my house - pretty sure it's not fox poo.
    • Here you are, intexasatthemoment (you seem to have been in Texas for a very long time!) We went to three of the recommended places yesterday,  as they were all in the same road (just near Wallington)  and I needed to give the car a run to avoid another slap on the wrist from my garage (and another new battery). Here's my findings. BARNES Parking We thought we would go here first as it was the earliest to close on a Sunday (3pm). There was no apparent entrance or anywhere to park. One notice said do not park on grass verge, and another one said staff cars only! Flittons was opposite but I'd already passed the entrance, so I had to drive down the road, turn round at the next available place (covered in signs saying do not park here) and park in Flittons car park! Plants Barnes  specialise in hardy perennials, so that was basically what they had, but an excellent selection, and many more unusual plants (or at least, plants you probably wouldn't find in a garden centre), eg Corydalis,  lots of different varieties of Epimediums, Trollius, some lovely Phygelius, lots of different ferns). The plants were divided into sections according to whether they needed sun or shade or could cope with both. They had a particularly good selection of  shade loving plants. There was really useful information above  each group of plants, which meant you didn't have to look at individual labels. All the plants looked in good health and  very well cared for. They don't produce a printed catalogue, but they  said their plant list was online (I haven't looked yet). I assume most of  the plants they have at any one time are when it's their flowering season (if they flower). I wasn't intending to buy anything, though was very tempted, but I'd definitely go here again once I've sorted out my overgrown garden. Other Stuff Don't think they sell pots, compost, etc. No cafe/tea room and I didn't see a loo, but Flittons is just over the road. FLITTONS  Parking Easy to park Plants Sorry, but mostly terrible. There was one section with vegetables and the rest was flowering plants. There was a general feeling of delapidation. Some of what was on display was actually dead (surely it would only take a minute to remove dead plants) and a lot of the rest was very poorly maintained, eg gone to seed, weedy, apparently unwatered, or with a lot of dead leaves. There was a notice asking for volunteers to work there, so I can only assume they can't afford to pay staff. Other stuff There was a notice to a play barn (?) saying invited people only, so I think they must host kids' parties or something. They redeemed themselves with a cosy little cafe with savoury stuff, nice cakes, iced chai and oat milk, and a loo. Also a selection of books and CDs on sale for charity. If you want an Andrews Sisters CD, you can find one here. There is a small shop with gift shop type stuff and a display of the history of Flittons, which apparently is family owned since the sixties (I think it was). I suspect that the arrival of Dobbies down the road must have greatly affected Flittons' fortunes, which is sad. DOBBIES  Parking Easy in theory once you had navigated a rather narrow entrance, but it was very busy so it took a while to find a space. Plants  Lots of plants, well maintained but I imagine their turnover is high. Lots of nice bedding plants for hanging baskets, window boxes etc  to cater for all tastes (ie some of it wasn't mine, but fine if you like those horrid little begonias (my opinion only) but they did have some nice (in my opinion) stuff as well. I was tempted but decided to buy from North Cross Road market. Fair selection of climbers, various different Clematis etc. I'd be happy to buy plants from here. The prices seemed reasonable and they were in good condition. Other stuff  It's a big garden centre with all that entails these days, so a large area selling garden furniture and storage, tools, animal collars, pots, all the usual stuff you would expect. Very helpful staff. There's a cafe which we didn't check out, charging points for electric cars, a Waitrose (no idea how big, we didn't look). Only on our way out did we see that there was a drive through "express section" for compost etc, which was annoying as I wanted compost and hadn't seen any anywhere,  but I was getting tired by that time. Just Down the Road A ten minute drive away is Wilderness Island, a nature reserve in Carshalton, which is well worth a visit. We heard eleven different kinds of bird (according to Merlin) and saw a Kingfisher flying down the tiny river!
    • The swifts & bats are alive & well around Upland Road. A beautiful sight & sound in the evenings. Just be sure to leave plenty of water out for them, as they are at high risk of dehydration & struggle to take flight at ground level.
    • Loads in upland road last night…
