Yeah. Gross by name Gross by nature. He was shit. Cheer up ratty, it's not the end of the world. Portsmouth have become a very good and competitive club under Harry Redknapp and he has left you in a realitvely good position with good players. You've got a short memory. Pompey hadn't been in the top division since the 50s or 60s until Harry arrived at the club and you even won the FA Cup last year under him. You seem to have forgotten that.

I'm watching it at a mate's house Sean with some fellow Spurs fans. Pretty damned sure I wouldn't be able to take the ribbing from any Gooners after the inevitable thrashing that I'm pretty sure is coming our way. One swallow doesn't make a summer and we're not out of the woods yet by a long shot and other cliches.

You won't catch the Fiver dredging up loads of 'Arry Redknapp quotes from recent months in which the new Totten'am 'Otspur manager waxes lyrical about 'ow 'appy 'e is at Portsmouth, 'ow it will definitely be 'is last job in football and 'ow it just wouldn't be right for him to leave because 'e feels 'e owes Pompey a debt and 'as to pay vem back. There are a number of reasons for this reticence on our part, the main one being that it would involve effort, which the crack team of finely tuned BS-detectors at football365 were good enough to have their readers exert long before we rolled out of bed this afternoon.

The fact of the matter is that, having established Portsmouth as a Premier League force to be reckoned with, won the FA Cup and overseen the relegation of Southampton to the Championship during his time at Fratton Park, 'Arry doesn't owe the south-coast club a thing. What's more, with massive bucks on offer to restore Tottenham's status as a mid-table side with delusions of grandeur, he'd have been stone-hatchet mad to turn down such a lucrative gig.

"It is brilliant to have an English manager," whooped Ledley King without injuring himself, less than 24 hours after fulfilling his duties as club captain by describing his then boss, the Spaniard Juande Ramos, as "a good manager" who Spurs players were "confident" could "change things". Of course when Ledley says he's confident 'Arry can change things you get the feeling he actually means it and all the evidence to date - a home win over Bolton, whoopity-doo! - suggests he's right.

But before Spurs players and fans completely lose the run of themselves, your tea-timely harbinger of doom thinks it's worth noting that the last time a struggling Premier League side with a nickname beginning with the letter S parachuted 'Arry in to save them from relegation, he appointed his boy Jamie to help him, failed, then left them in the lurch. With betting exchanges already offering odds against Redknapp replacing himself as Portsmouth manager (OK, they're a long 228-1, but probably a lot shorter than those available for Micky Adams, Bryan Robson or Dvd O'Lry), it seems history could be about to repeat itself. Today's Lahn's Lahn E'n'n' Stannah reports that "Redknapp's son Jamie could also be joining the staff" at Spurs

Nearly. I think he managed the scum and never got them relegated. Someone else did that - can't rememeber his name at the moment ;)


Bally also spectacularly saved us one year as well. One of the best escapes in history!


RIP Alan.


Pompey are announcing Adams and Keown as the new management team in an hour or so. Be interesting to see how they do. Joe Jordan is joining Kevin Bond at Tottemham with the Judas.


So that's that settled then. Who's next for the chop?

      Excellent Christmas meal at Franklins!

      Who was Diana Rayworth, when 'resting from acting'. Her successful career was very sadly cut short following a devastating accident.

      Excellent Christmas meal at Franklins!

      By civilservant · Posted

      thanks Jenijenjen and all - yes, i remember walking or taking the bus from the elephant (where i was working) to Camberwell to get there.  I think Tim - who's still at Franklin's -  was there in those days, and the woman who ran the cafe!  Other food places that i remember fondly are the ones in Neal's Yard (with the Hunkin sculpture that you could put a coin in ) and the basement lunch place at the Tottenham Court Road junction with Hanway Street...

      Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertised  times. Hope you got it sorted x

      Be careful in local shops

      By Sue · Posted

      People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.
