I certainly want Arsenal to win the premiership. The thought of Chelsea or you lot winning the CL is too hideous to contemplate and the FA Cup is, of course, the Hammers. But tomorrow it's Brum for me.

I'm all in favour of the current champions league format, but it would still be very odd if a team like Spurs were to win it having never been champions of their own league in the last 40 years. It would be good for Spurs but bad for a competition that seeks to find the best team in europe.

Not sure how you can be in favour of a CL format that allows for the majority of qualifying teams to be non-champions and then say it would be bad for one of them to win it. Maybe there should be a UEFA vetting panel at the semi-final stage. "So, when exactly were you last champions?" "Oh."

Exactly - you can play but you can't get to the final, you don't mind if we put another English team in the final in your place, how about your friends from North London, the red and white team. ;-)



No. my point is that the format is good in that its not just the previous years cahmpions that get into the competition, however to win the CL and never to have won your own league, is not a good result for the competion.

I *think* that this wouldn't have been the case for any English team that's ever qualified

Not validity - just whether its good for the competition, given its name/history etc.

      Egyptian goslings in Peckham Rye park!

      By fishboy · Posted

      Apparently they are considered an "invasive species" so shouldn't be transported anywhere - the volunteer who took the injured parent away was technically breaking the law.  The thread is here, just shows how nothing has changed with regard to loose dogs around the lake -

      Yes we're on Silvester road and ours is bad, it was yesterday too. Might be to do with works on Crystal Palace road?

      GALA 2025

      By Kate Honey · Posted

      I went to the consultation and spoke to Gala’s ‘Head of Sustainability’ who knew nothing about any nesting bird surveys, bats, beetles etc. He also didn’t have an answer on plastic waste, disposal vapes, or the impact on the newly recovered ground (other than the meagre litter picking). I followed up with an email to give him more time to get an answer but still no reply. Will post on here when I get one. It might help to email the licensing team at Southwark as well as take the survey.
