Why did defoe only play 21 mins Jah? - was it an injury or did he not start? If he did not start then I would be amazed.



Whoops - this was due to a frozen page on fantasy football - he seems to have played the full 90.

Well, well, well..finally Utd don't get away with a poor performance.


If Arsenal beat Liverpool, a big if but they really should, then they are right back in the mix. To be fair Chelsea sounded very unlucky.


Normally I'd be laughing my arse off at the Wolves result at Tottenham (sorry Jah but I would) but the bleeding Spuds even let us down when they lose.....and push us into the bottom 3


Gonna see what's happened to the odds for the title - as an aside, West Ham were 7/1 for relegation this morning which struck me as generous but even a gambler like me can't do that.....

The BBC 10 O'clock news tonight headlined with Marc Antoine Fortune's wonder strike against Motherwell on the opening news headlines.


I was amazed until I saw that BBC has no premiership rights (to show any english footie before MOTD probably)


But - hey - look on the bright side - you guys get to see the mighty Celtic. 3 great goals. Eat your heart out PGC.

Whilst MU will have been happy with Michael Owen in mid week - yesterdays two goals from Carlos Tevez and his recent performances show that he is the one they should have retained.


To lose Ronaldo was one thing but Tevez would have played a bigger part in his absence.

Arsenal have lost to MU and Chelsea so far, so they need to show today that they can beat a big4 team. If they do Quids, then things begin to look very interesting.

If they lose then I guess they are not any worse off than they were before the weekend, but they will feel they missed an opportunity.


Arsenal missed Van Persie against Chelsea, no doubt about that, but last weekend thay played Arshavin up front as a striker and that seemed to work, so hopefully that will be a fix for their upfront problems. I think that is a good move from Wenger, better than Walcott or Eduardo.

I think a fit and physical Liverpool side should beat Arsenal this afternoon. I knew United were going to struggle as soon as Radio 5 started spouting those 'it's been 20 odd years since Villa beat United at OT' blah blah blah. Still, we should be better over Christmas!

SP - I think Arsenal are physically stronger than previous seasons - I don't think that is so much of a concern anymore. They outmuscled the Chelsea midfield in the first half a few weeks ago and control midfield possession against most teams they have played this season.


Their obvious failure is not having the firepower upfront, but hope Arshavin can do the business up front today. I'd encourage Arsenal players to shoot on sight - they still try to keep passing the ball even when they get in the box. They have to be more direct and decisive. Thay can be beautiful to watch but equally, they can be very frustrating.

      Japan for holiday - how expensive is it now?

      By WomblingFree · Posted

      I was just in Japan and yes can confirm it's a lot cheaper than here. The flight was pricy, as was some of the accommodation. However, once there everything else was dirt cheap. We had some really nice meals at £5-6 for a main, though you can obviously pay a lot more. Beer/wine/coffee were often around £2. Public transport was great value - £3.50 for a day pass on the Tokyo metro which is massive, albeit more if you want to use the overground lines. We didn't do much shopping but Uniqlo (obviously a Japanese chain) was around 40% cheaper than here, plus a bit more if you go tax free. It is I imagine a lot easier for the non-Japanese speaker than in the 1980s. I survived for two weeks with little more than "thank you" and "cheers". Most people we dealt with in shops/restaurants/hotels spoke some English, and signs/announcements/ticket machines often have English translations.

      Thames Water - water meters

      By BM13 · Posted

      As mentioned above, one needs to request TW specifically in writing to be witch to metered paying system, they will not do it automatically despite forcefully installed water meter. From our experience, we benefited a lot by switching, even with watering our small garden occasionally.
