Lot more history than that I think.


Swans board doesn't sack usually - not in 10 years -

but issues with the agent, the fact everyone seems to think

ML was leaving in the summer and as the board said, the gradual

erosion of Swansea's principles.


Chico didn't do any play acting against Cardiff - so maybe a

Garry Monk had a quiet word.


Stoke - Swansea next up - not one I would have gone for the Swans

in - but will be interesting if they can get a point.

I just about managed to stay awake for the pool (thank God they were on first) before passing out on the sofa.


Yeah, very pleased to see them win that in that style. That's exactly the sort of match they'd have lost in previous years (or last week even).


I was also pleased to see Gerrard afterwards acknowledge that they'd dropped 2 points and missed an opportunity last week, and that they couldn't afford mistakes what with Spurs breathing down their necks (very good result for them last night too!).

Jose Mourinho would love to see Celtic playing in the Premiership.


The Chelsea boss has won titles in England, Italy, Portugal and Spain but knows that few clubs have the magic of Celtic.


With the second biggest ground in Britain Celtic are ideally placed to add to the 'Premiership brand' a unique combination of history, passion and drama.


Stars such as Lionel Messi, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Clarence Seedorf have gone on record with their admiration of all things Celtic with the Chelsea boss in no doubt that the hoops would bring a new dimension to the Premiership.


"Ive thought a few times over the years about Celtic moving down to England," he told The Sun.


"When I have been in England I have asked my colleagues why Celtic are not playing in the Premier League. They are a big club, with a big support and a famous history.


"They had a strong run last season in the Champions League, but they will always be limited because competition does not seem to be there for them up in Scotland.


"It wouldn't be easy to make it happen, the problem would be an agreement with teams who would not want to drop out of the leagues down here.

I like to think fans are different and everyone is an individual.

Chelsea had a national front element from what I hear and had a combat 18 element which is placing them in an awkward right wing position.


No class with that element for sure but im sure they have decent fans too.

The day Celtic are admitted to the premier league is the day Scottish football dies (cries of 'what Scottish football?') - I don't care about celtic/rangers and their infantile squabbles but the depth of football north of the border which would surely suffer irreparably.


But if they do maybe we could invite a few other footballing third world nations to send in their best too - Iceland's top team maybe and Ireland and - where exactly is San Marino and Liechtenstein?

I am surprised a team for whom a significant majority of their fans claim the English as imperialit oppressors constantly, want to be in our league and I am not sure a team who large sections of their support glorify terrorism would be that welcome in England either. Too much putrid old school stuff in the tedious and romanticised 'old firm' crap, leave it in Glasgow and Ulster as far as I am concerned....



Why don,t Celtic join the Irish league that,s where they belong...

      Someone who can show me how to use my Samsung phone!

      By jibbidyjobbody · Posted

      Please consider any security issues associated with someone helping. Does the person have good intentions? Do they know what they are doing? Will they require your passwords or screen unlock. Will they set them for you and consequently know them? Will they store them for you? Are you sharing passwords you cannot change immediately after or are used in other places? Will they recommend apps that potentially open up security or privacy issues you do not know about. It is a bit of a minefield depending on what help you need 🙂

      Has David Lammy been watching Judge Judy?

      By Angelina · Posted

      I think it's outrageous that he thinks he can do this. This is about reducing waiting lists. How dare he seek to fundamentally change the judicial system to address administrative failings (for which he is responsible). Courts are notoriously slow. Judges are slow. Perhaps look at WHY there are so many cases - what's going on? is crime going through the roof? Why not more judges, why not look at how court admin is managed?  We had one judge - over retirement age, who only worked once a week (possibly) and was slow, frail and no idea about emails etc. no sense of urgency. I actually complained which did hurry things up.  This is not a dynamic private company who wants to get things done - it takes time, it's a complicated and thorough process. RIGHTLY SO.  As least he's not lifting the lid on free legal aid and increasing the tax payers funding of it.

      Unfortunately I've had very bad experiences with John Lewis technical help department, who have more than once given me completely wrong information, and once had to pay me compensation as a result. In any case unless you bought the phone there I'm not sure they would help? A local phone shop might, though.

      JKA Damp proofing firm recommendation

      By Nick693 · Posted

      Just had three areas of damp expertly dealt with by JKA Damp proofing & Plastering. Each area had a different cause and Jonathan diagnosed and explained the problems comprehensively. The family firm then carried out all the necessary repairs having prepped each area meticulously. The work was done to the highest standard and then everything was cleared up beautifully. I would wholeheartedly recommend the firm if you have damp problems!
