The Football.....

As a west Ham supporter i would love to see Tottenham go down but in the back of my mind i can just see them surviving.
You must be looking at your home game to Burnley as a must win.where's we have a tough monday night game at palace.
if Leeds beat Wolves on Saturday then they might be safe.
At this stage of the season goal difference is worth a point and ours is far worse than any of the other teams fighting relegation.

It's in your hands though at present which didn't look like a reality a few weeks back and you are winning games and picking up points which Spurs aren't at the moment.

A good family friend was a very senior part of the Newcastle set up at that time. I can't really repeat the story on here as the mods will delete it (for foul language!) but he was privy to a particular meeting in 2008 when Keegan was close to resigning. Let's just say that Keegan and the "Cockney Mafia" did not get on well. You can probably imagine that Dennis Wise was central to this 😂

Yes, I don't think Keegan understood his brief. Not everyone was up to speed with the relatively new at the time dynamic of Director of Football and Head Coach and I think I'd struggle to report in to Dennis Wise.

Wise by name, daft daffodil by nature...

My Son is getting married in September i am a diehard Leeds supporter ,his Fiance's dad is a diehard West Ham supporter way back to 66 when West Ham won the World Cup,HE is buying me a pint at the wedding after we beat them in the Cup.I hope they stay up.

If it came down to optimism and recent results,
Leeds to stay up comfortably ?
West Ham may end up above Forest, theyre on a fairly good run
Forest (hopefully) will just survive, theyre just scraping results but not really showing great form.
Spurs to go down, unless they can reverse that terrible terrible form.

Lots of supporters channels on YT make for interesting watching and people's insights (for what theyre worth)

Late night tonight, off to (eventually) watch the long postponed Posh v Port Vale game tonight.

I'll predict right now that West Ham will be the third bottom team.
I have no affiliation to any of them.

I hope it's West Ham just for this outrage:

Love watching the big fella running through defenders.

I'm glad Real Madrid lost tonight. Imagine them winning the Champions League AGAIN! Anyway, here's one for @No Ta Doctor Arsenal make it through to the Final where they play Bayern Munich. Imagine if ex Spurs man Harry Kane scores a hat-trick against you to win the trophy!😬😉👍

I'm not sure we can give that many penalties away.... But lett's get to the final first!

I may be completely wrong with this, but I have a gut feeling that after years of (mainly English) fans criticising Harry Kane and mocking his lack of trophies, that he is going to end up having a very successful year in 2026, both with Bayern and also possibly with England. I hope he does, for me he is currently the best player in the world and comfortably sits alongside Moore, Charlton, Rooney and Beckham in a small group of the best England players of all time (England, not English by the way. But he is also one of the best English players as well!).

Kane is legitimately the top striker in the world this season - and I say that as an Arsenal fan that was sick of his penalties against us and the way he backed under players jumping for the ball to get a free kick (should genuinely have been red cards to him). Hopefully he wins the world cup heading in corners from Rice and Saka

Kane is a class act.

Any other country would be delighted to have him, in the form he's in (and pretty much always has been: over 20 goals a season for a decade is astonishing), this close to a World Cup, but folk still wonder if he's good enough? Mental.

The number of players (and managers) who are somehow not good enough for England because sh!tey tabloids say so is nuts.
