Do you remember a few weeks ago, we were dscussing whether or not Ronaldo was/is a team player?


This interiew says it all:




"Guillem Balague: What feeling have you got after the defeat to Germany?



Cristiano Ronaldo: What feeling?



Guillem: The one after being knocked out



Ronaldo: We didn?t expect this. We wanted to continue in the tournament, but we didn?t do enough. We weren?t strong enough


Guillem: The little details were won by Germany. You didn?t seem concentrated enough



Ronaldo: I didn?t do anything wrong. I did what I had to do but the team made mistakes and that is why we lost"


What an outstanding sportsman. (td)

Old news and not happening Keef. Discredited by Spuds yesterday. Now the Pool have put in another ?17m bid for Barry they must have got the extra sponds somewhere........ reckon Crouch to Pompey will complete early next week when PFC go back to training.


Oooh and we signed Ben Saha on loan too - that should signal the end of Nugent.

It'll be undisclosed to save face. Rafa knows he can go for fook all in January. He was lined up on 31st Jan and Rafa pulled out last minute (after we had already offloaded Benjani)


My reckon is ?5-?7m but the fee will be undisclosed when the deal formally goes through!


Personally I'd wait til Jan and take him for fook all on a pre-contract and sign Gudjonseen for this season!!

Which all begs the question, why did we turn down ?9m for him???

I hadn't thought about that until you mentioned it, but yes they are alike aren't they. Same floppy hairstyle and a similar look in the eyes but Arshavin doesn't have the wand of a left foot like Bale has and where was Arshavin in the final against Spain? I barely remember him getting a touch of the ball. He all but disappeared from view.

Love the way news stories hype stuff. Headline saying Liverpool interested in Villa. Of course they are interested, I'm sure a lot of clubs are. Read on slightly and Rafa says he's on the list but it would be difficult. Big story there then! You expect it on back pages, but I'd rather read facts on the bbc website.

I'm finding the summer transfer speculation more and more frustrating. Finding anything based on reality is like that bit at the end of the Crystal Maze where they had to grab hold of gold pieces of paper and not the other kind - or something.


The same names, and posturing by clubs' spokesperson, and denials which turn out to be the opposite - blah blah blah. A pox on all their houses


You finished 2nd, 5th, just above relegation - whatever - next season roll your sleeves up and improve the lot of the club who's badge you have been kissing everytime you scored last year - that's all I ask

T'was from an interview on LFC tv last night. Definitely stuff going on behind the scenes there, but I'm not sure a Torres/Villa partnership would work. Euro 2008 was proof that these two (under the Spanish formation anyway) do not work together. We need someone who Rafa can play when Torres can't. I think G&T relationship worked perfectly well last season and I would question the need to change that by spending ?30+ million on another striker.


Give me David Silva please. (tu)

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
