What Defoe did was bloody embarrassing. I've never seen him do that before so he better not do it again. I hate players diving so full credit to Walcott for staying on his feet and scoring. What he did is a good example as to what can happen if you don't take a tumble, you can carry on and put the ball in the back of the net. I hope more players will follow his example.

What Quids said.

Report the bastards.

I remember that one. Sadly, probably gone the way of most of them.

Independent record shops. Spent half my life in them, scouring the racks for what I would buy on pay day.

Went to The Plough the other day and had the Ploughman's lunch. He was furious.

Yeah, I think I got that Annasfield.

Grounds are certainly a hell of a lot quieter since the all-seater stadiums came in. White Hart Lane can still get very loud especially under the floodlights in a Cup game but that is probably because it's a relatively small ground (36,000 capacity). Still, it's not as loud as the old days. I can remember going there with crowds of 60,000 to 70,000 standing in the pissing rain getting soaked and the noise was unbelievable compared to now. The rail seating would be a good idea in some areas (behind the goals mostly I should think) but you've got to have a demand for it and, is that demand worth it to the club itself? I can't see a lot of boards of directors going for it. I have to admit I do rather like my comfort these days and prefer to sit with a clear view of all the pitch and not bobbing from side to side trying to catch a glimpse between heads - even worse if you're vertically challenged not that I am but I remember a mate of mine who would come games regularly with us never got to see much of the action as he was rather on the short side. COYS!

Agree. Ferguson should have been sent to the stands. That knighthood comes in very handy now and again. Only he could have got away with that. Very happy with the Spurs result yesterday. Bale was absolutely brilliant. Not so happy with my measly 4pts on the Predictor League though. Need to up my game.

Barry De Vorzon's score/soundtrack, whatever for Warriors.

Oh and Isaac Hayes soundtrack to Shaft.

David Holmes' soundtracks to Out of Sight and Ocean's 11 & 12.

Performance and A Clockwork Orange.

Indeed! I've always found The Castle very friendly. The only proper pub left in the area.

What Kingy said. It's got a fecking great jukebox an the Guinness is the best in the area.

You don't fancy Spurs much do you LG. Happy holidays.

If it's any consolation Kingy I rather enjoyed that. I was rather perplexed at the number of people on Facebook mentioning Ravi Shankar had died. I'm pretty sure 99.9 per-cent of them never owned any of his records. Philistines the lot of 'em.

I've finally discovered the joys of Ian Rankin's Rebus novels. So, last week was Hide And Seek, this week it's The Hanging Garden and next week will be The Naming Of The Dead.

Lenny?

Wahey! Gooners lose to Bradford City in a penalty shootout. Long journey home. That's gonna hurt in the morning. :-)

I'm still trying to get my head around the latest snatching defeat from the jaws of victory performance by Spurs at the weekend. One-nil up, 90mins on the clock and we concede two goals in injury time. Bloody typical! I suppose I should be used to it by now but it still fecking pisses me off big time.

I'd have gone for Bo Diddley
