Unless you support LFC, in which case you probablky gave up on it weeks ago.


I do wish the press would refrain from telling us that a club has approached a club about a player. Gets our hopes up that we might get a player that can score a goal, and then the hopes are dashed. Meanwhile other clubs that didn't have said player on their radar go "oh look, Liverpool have spotted a good'n, let's sign him in the summer".

Leicester have Arsenal and City next. Don't think those matches will necessarily decide the title, but if Leicester can take 4 points from them, they'll be on the charge with real belief.


I totally want Leicester to win the league, and if not them, then City to win it for their outgoing manager (thought it was nice to hear his players saying they love playing for him and want to win some trophies for him this season).

I read that yesterday. I love that Liverpool have the question "Why are Liverpool so bad?" as one of theirs.

Was a trip down memory lane. I'd forgotten some of those players altogether. Just highlights how many rubbish signings Liverpool made again and again, whilst Man United were signing star after star for less money than LFC were paying for total shite.

Stars like Bebe and Djemba Djemba, the man so bad they named him twice. ;-)

Yes, but you haven't scored for 3 games or won in five, against lesser teams than Leicester.


You might be defensively pretty sound, but will you be happy with a 0-0 at home?


Barring an injury to Mahrez, Leicester will win it now I think. They have a potentially tough last three games (United away, Everton home and Chelsea away) but we've been talking about their 'tough' games where they'll slip up all season. And they keep brushing them aside.


Anyway, let's talk about Dele Alli. 5 goals and 5 assists in his last 11 league games. Nailed on for Goal of the Season and Young Player of the Year. And now, according to a respected Swiss football research centre (used by FIFA, UEFA and top European clubs) he's the most valuable teenager in European football, by a distance. Link below.


All this for a 19 year old that was playing third tier last season.

Indeed. Spurs will get good money for him when he leaves this summer.

Thankfully, I know you're just winding Titch up, Otta. Last season it was Harry Kane. Hopefully, both and the majority of the current Spurs squad will be around to grow and enjoy success together for a long time to come.


I've developed a bit of a man crush on Dele Alli. He really is something else. Probably my favourite Spurs player since Teddy Sherringham.

Bournemouth 0 - Arsenal 2, we've put that right

No I won't but I think we'll beat them at our place.

They are favourites , it's theirs to lose

My view is that its never easy to get over the line when you haven't won it before or even for a while - as Newcastle under Keegan showed, and Man United under Ferguson and Arsenal under George Graham. Even big leads can disappear, confidence goes, nerves kick in (Newcastle could hardly string a pass together in the matches after the 4-3 defeat to Liverpool). I thought Arsenal had blown it in 1989. Experience counts for a lot in the run in and "giving" anyone the title before April is silly.

    • The top front tooth has popped out.  Attempted to fix myself with repair kit bought from Boots, unfortunately it didn’t last long.  Tooth has popped out again.  Unable to get to dentist as housebound but family member can drop off.  I tried dental practice I found online, which is near Goose Green, but the number is disconnected.   The new dental practice in FH (where Barclays used to be) said it’s not something they do.  Seen a mobile dental practice where a technician comes to your home and does the repair but I’m worried about the cost. Any suggestions please? Thank you 
    • So its OK for Starmer to earn £74K/annum by renting out a property, cat calling the kettle black....... Their gravy train trundles on. When the Southport story that involves Starmer finally comes out, he's going to be gone, plus that and the local elections in May 2025 when Liebour will get a drumming. Even his own MP's have had enough of the mess they've made of things in the first three months of being in power. They had fourteen years to plan for this, what a mess they've created so quickly, couldn't plan there way out of a paper bag.   Suggest you do the sums, the minimum wage won't  be so minimum when it is introduced, that and the increase in employers national insurance contributions is why so many employers are talking about reducing their cohort of employees and closing shops and businesses.  Businesses don't run at a loss and when they do they close, its the only option for them, you can only absorb a loss for so long before brining the shutters down and closing the doors. Some people are so blinkered they think the sun shines out of the three stooges, you need to wake up soon. Because wait till there are food shortages, no bread or fresh vegetables, nor meat in the shops, bare shelves in the supermarkets because the farmers will make it happen, plus prices spiralling out of control as a result of a supply and demand market. Every ones going to get on the gravy train and put their prices up, It happened before during lockdown, nothing to stop it happening again. You don't shoot the hand that feeds you. Then you'll see people getting angry and an uprising start to happen.  Hungry people become angry people very quickly. 
    • Eh? Straight ahead of what?  If you turn left at Goose Green, as you also posted above, you end up at the library. Then the Grove. Then, unless you turn right at the South Circular, you end up at Forest Hill!
    • yes I’ve spotted this too — it’s near me and I’m very intrigued to see what it’ll be 👀👀👀👀
