Whilst the FA ask Fergie to explain his personal attack on Referee Alan Wiley (in your own time Sir Alex...) - the FA have charged Rafa with improper conduct for jokingly taking his glasses out of his pocket when asked about a Referee's performance.


It does make you wonder exactly what favours are still owed United by the FA since they forced United to participate in the infamous World Club Championship held in Brazil back in 2000...


It does make the stomach churn when it's one rule for one...

He should take lessons from Ferg, he is one funny guy, take his comic turn last weekend involving the ref for example, right up there with Laurel & Hardy or the Chuckle Brothers!

Sad for Barnes but the greatest footballers don't always make the grade at managerial level - but what I don't understand having waited so long for a second chance, after a similarly short spell at Celtic, was having Jason McAteer as his assistant. Nothing against McAteer but one of his nicknames at Anfield was that of Trigger (as in Only Fool's and Horses).


I just hope Barnes does not try and pimp himself on Sky / ESPN / BBC in the same way we have seen with likes of Strachen and Ian Dowie in the past.

As the forum won't be up and running when the next batch of games comes up, here are my predictions


Arsenal 5 v Birmingham 1

Aston Villa 1 v Chelsea 2

Everton 1 v Wolverhampton 0

Man Utd 3 v Bolton 1

Portsmouth 1 v Tottenham 0

Stoke 2 v West Ham 1

Sunderland 1 v Liverpool 1


Blackburn 2 v Burnley 0

Wigan 0 v Man City 2


Fulham 2 Hull 0

Ok fair dos. Plus -


Ukraine 1 England 3


Arsenal 4 Birmingham 0

Aston Villa 1 Chelsea 2

Everton 3 Wolverhampton 0

Man Utd 3 Bolton 1

Portsmouth 0 Tottenham 3

Stoke 2 West Ham 1

Sunderland 2 Liverpool 2


Blackburn 2 Burnley 2

Wigan 1 Man City 3


Fulham 3 Hull 0

Sorry about this but this thread has reached the point where it messes up the forum software, intermittently new posts no longer mean the thread appears at the top of the Lounge message list.


Please could someone start a new Football Focus thread and link back to this one, just copy and paste this URL

    • Miranda Sawyer of the (once) Observer has done a piece on festival on Insta which might be of-interest.  Councils are private companies, imo. They make money for themselves, imo.  I do not think by law that they have to follow anything brought up by a consultation, this is for 'face' only - hence, LTNs and everything else.  
    • My understanding is the "free event" is 100% Gala, nothing to do with the council. Obviously Gala will still make money from the food & drink that they are trying to coerce punters into buying on their social media posts. Their costs will be negligible due to already having the infrastructure in place for Gala. So Gala are trying to appear community minded by providing this "free event", but the real goal is to set a precedent for a fourth day's festival - which surely no one could possibly object to?!? - in preparation for applying (again) for two three-day festivals spread over two weekends. It's only another two days, right, and the site & equipment is already there, so why would anyone object?!? More money for the council, much more money for Gala, win-win right? But yet another week of our park taken away from us, too, and another 18,000 people trampling & littering the park, and another week of disturbance for the native birds & wildlife...
    • Meson Don Felipe on The Cut was my go to place for many years. Though it's now many years since I was there. 10-15 minute walk from the Tate. If you go can you tell me what it's like nowadays?
    • Doubt you would have got much change out of £150.00 for battery and certainly having forked out for it, best to use your car. I recently sold  my car via webuyanycar.com - very pleasant experience & was roughly what I was expecting. Pop your bangers reg jnto their website to get an idea of price - they do send e mails once a fortnight/month just as an aid for you. Easy enough to delete - don’t even have to read valuation. They literally buy any car - if you can’t get it to them, they will charge you to get it there or recommend a co that will do it for you. Must say, mine was a 2014 reg and whilst a bit suspicious, paid extra to get money into my account as needed it for next car but was assured funds had I not gone down route I took would be in my account within 5 days. I now live in the country - every time I have been back to Dulwich and surrounding area, normally get a fine for driving at wrong time or parking at  wrong time so if I drive now, park in West or East Dulwich and do everything else by public transport and walking.  Were I still to be living in ED then before I left was pondering this very issue but since I have been back regularly for health reason I no longer drive but take the train and then buses, walk or Uber. Much cheaper than running a car and had I stayed, that would have been the course I would have taken. I don’t go out everyday, have an allotment or job to go to or family so in my case, would be cheaper not to have a car.  Was truely shocked   at the cost of second hand cars…..but where I now live only has a smattering of buses so no choice but to have wheels to get from A to B etc.
