The fact that we had just a clear onside decision flagged as off in the first half, and the keane scores from an onside position rankles somewhat


Fabianski tho ? that experiment has to stop. As well as wrists made out of coat hanger wire his reactions to the Bentley miss was horrific to see


Bentley btw ? a textbook case for all young English players about what happens I fyou believe your own hype.

Hmmm...the referee was shit. Is he a Gooner or what? Both penalties looked a bit harsh to me especially the first one from where I was sitting in the West Stand and they effectively killed us off. Arsenal put out a more experienced team than ours but I'll accept the defeat. I think Arsenal having not won anything for a long time would like some silverware and good luck to them in the Carling Cup.

One positive I take from the match is the performance of Sandro. He looks a top player and I think we've got ourselves a bargain there.

Totally agree with you on this. He was absolute rubbish last night and not for the first time either. Message to Harry - Get rid.

I'm sure mr Wenger reciprocates and wishes mr Redknapp in his quest to win th title for the first time in 50 years. I can't help but think the recent clamour to appoint mr Redknapp as the next England manager. His record at Southampton, Portsmouth, and West Ham leave a lot to be desired, that and accustaions of dodgy dealings are not ideal, not by a long way.
Well I suppose someone has to, I felt for the lad who was pictured crying as his team were been given a lesson in fotballing skills. If his dad had any heart at all, he should have told him this is what usually happens when they meet better opposition. Bentley again demonstrated why Arsenal got shot of him. It is interseting that you accuse the ref of being biased, especially as he did not card the first 4 hacks at Wilshere. God help us if he refs us against Blackburn or Bolton.
Well I would say that as he has grown older he has become quite gracious in defeat. This was not meant to be bait Anna just my observation of him. If you're just blinkered in your view of him then so be it. I bet you'd have liked him to be your manager over the last 20 years.

What do you base that comment on Keef? So you'd rather have a nice chappie in charge and finish mid table each season than a so called 'nasty bastard' who wins you the league? That's bo**ix.

Being a bad loser is partly what makes someone a winner in my book. It gives them that drive to succeed. Most successful managers over the years have been terrible losers. Ferguson and Wenger are perfect examples of winging moaners, blaming referees and whatnot. They're bad losers but have a quick look in their trophy cabinets. Not exactly bare are they?

Well Wenger's has been for a while, and Hughs & Big Sam are 2 very very bad losers, and they haven't won much.

No, I never said that.


If I was a United fan *shudders*, I'd obviouslt hold Fergie in very very high regard, and be chuffed with all he'd won. BUT, I don't think I'd be completely comfortable with the man, and his behaviour, because he's a coont (to quote ratty).


Sh!t like the "hairdryer", in my book is not the way anyone should be treating their players. If you're happy winning in that way, good on ya, but I think it stinks.

I think it's also a little unfair to call someone like Ferguson a nasty bastard. I'm pretty sure if you asked most people involved in football on a day to day basis they would say he's a pretty good man. He does a lot for football in general and he is pretty supportive of other managers and players.

Why is it that whenever an observation is made about personnel at Manchester United, people get all defensive and instead of providing examples to justify why they feel that observation is incorrect we result to "well he's better than your manager" type arguments?


Mr Ferguson being gracious in defeat has nothing at all to do with any other team.

Well what do you want Keef? Presumably you'd like to win something.Would you care what happened in the dressing room if your team won the league and played good football? Man U have done that for years now and it's down to Ferguson. He gets the best out of his players most of the time. There are not many ex Man U players who have complained about him. There are quite a few who have become managers themselves. It's also been noted on many occasion that Fergie is often the first one on the phone to a manager who has been sacked. People could say that he only won what he did in England because of Man U's money but that doesn't explain how he managed to win so much with a club like Aberdeen in Scotland.

Spot on. United fans are without doubt the most sensitive of creatures who are easily offended and find it necessary to defend even the slightest critiicism, it borders on paranoia.

    • Thanks for posting this. Really interesting. It would be good if you added a star rating, so that it was easier to do comparisons / see what your top recommendations are. Great blog though!
    • Hi, Just a quick note to say it's six months since I launched Eats Dulwich. In that time I've reviewed 28 restaurants. Usually four or five a month except for a month when I came down with gout, which I guess is an occupational hazard. Don't say I don't suffer for my art. Early on someone – Sue, I think – asked me what I'm going to do when I've reviewed every restaurant in East Dulwich. I'm nowhere near that point, but what I have found is that a lot of new openings have tended to be in Rye Lane, so the site has expanded to cover SE15, hence the slight change of name (still haven't had any cease and desist letters from anything with a similar name).  Anyway, the site is still free, it would be great if as many readers as possible here can subscribe so that they automatically get new posts (when you try to subscribe the default might be paid subs but that's down to Substack, just tick the free option instead) as I don't post everything on EDF. Obviously you can get reviews elsewhere if you want, but I think this is the only proper site for local East Dulwich people written by a local East Dulwich person. If you like eating out please have a read. And if there are other places you think I should visit please mention them below and i'll do my best to try them.

    • Can you explain what your point was, then? Because it isn't clear to me. No. Perhaps you could provide a link and explain its relevance? That would be helpful     Those figures suggest that over 10,000,000 voters were not "rejecting a far left party."
    • Anyone can deliver for Evri - my daughter having just passed her driving test tried Evri to make some money - they basically give you a route and as many parcels as they think you can cope with - you make money for each one you deliver, so you can imagine - speed is the priority. Why would they wait for you to answer the door when they can just throw it and take a photo? If you have a choice, choose a different courier service or shop elsewhere where they do.
