Good win for Havant & Waterlooville tonight. Puts them top of the table with one to play. Watch out Eastleigh - they’re coming to get you :emoticon-0103-cool:
 
Fulham looking to buy Wembley for £800M. Do it, evicting Spuds is worth about half of that! <laugh>
The Fulham owner also owns the Jacksonville Jaguars NFL team, who would presumably play all their home games there, sharing with Fulham. Sounds like the stuff of nightmares!

By the way, Tottenham will be back at WHL next season I believe.
 
This referee has possibly just become my favourite ever.

By not following that stupid philosophy of "letting an early challenge go", the Madrid player rightly gets sent-off. With most refs, he'd (wrongly) still been on the pitch, because they'd have considered the first yellow to be too early to be a yellow. Bizarrely.

At last a referee with some cojones. Pity there aren’t a few in the Premier League. I have a feeling, though, that arsenal are going to huff and puff here and struggle to score. Shame they don’t have players like Walcott, Oxlade-Chamberlain or Giroud to hit the back of the net ......... :emoticon-0103-cool:

So far this game is screaming for Giroud to get on the end of these Arsenal crosses.
 
If arsenal don’t score in this half, their “fans” will start turning on them. I’ve never been to a ground where the “fans” are so abusive to their own team. It’s even worse than St Mary’s on a bad day!

Got a bet on the Arsenal game with two colleagues and whoever loses wears shorts to work tomorrow. I've gone for a draw.
