If it wasn't for the fact that our goalkeeper Gomes is a bit like Dracula - he hates crosses - it would have been four-nil to Spurs. Mind you, I agree Liverpool should have had a penalty but we were by far the better team last night. I can't believe the form we're in at the moment since Harry has taken over. I just hope we can keep it going to the end of the season.

I don't think they'll be any cash on the table for Harry to bring players in but he's pretty good at wheeling and dealing in the market and our top priority has to be a goalkeeper.


Also, Harry has made the best start to a managerial reign at Tottenham for 110 years (five wins and a draw) and ironically the manager at that time, Frank Brettall moved on to manage Portsmouth.

The goalkeeping situation for England at the moment is a strange one. There is a lengthy list of possible to successors to, essentially, David Seaman's jersey. Yet none really stand out head-and-shoulders above the rest. Some of the performances from the below between the sticks this season have been excellent though....


James

Robinson

Kirkland

Carson

Green

Turnbull

Hart


But to choose one for a consistent England place seems problematic. James won't last much more than another year so seems nothing more than a stop-gap solution. Robinson was dreadful but seems to have found a new lease of life at Blackburn. Last weekend he nearly stopped Chelsea single-handed.

Gomez does actually look like Nosferatu as well. Theres no getting away from it hes shite and has cost us a lot of goals this season. Thats fine when your winning but when we're up against it hes going to start costing us games. Still, nice to see Ronnie Corbett come on in his place!

I believe Almunia will soon be a serious contender as he is due to get his British passport soon.......

To be fair, he does have Casillas and Reina ahead of him and he has only been our first team regular for a season

Not as many as you, I'd hazard a guess - but through the magic of TV replays/highlights, press commentary and having a few Arsenal-supporting mates I thought it was a common assumption that he's not looked as steady as last season.


I'm happy to stand corrected though if you say different.

Nothing against him being Spanish old bean just that he's a Gooner and he's not as good as the English goalkeepers that are available.

Right thats enough Gooner bashing!

    • Here's the part of march46's linked-to Southwark News article pertaining to Southwark Council. "Southwark Council were also contacted for a response. "Councillor James McAsh, Cabinet Member for Clean Air, Streets & Waste said: “One of Southwark’s key priorities is to create a healthy environment for our residents. “To achieve this we closely monitor legislation and measures that influence air pollution – our entire borough apart from inland waterways is designated as a Smoke Control Area, and we also offer substantial provision for electric vehicles to promote alternative fuel travel options and our Streets for People strategy. “We as a council support the work of Mums for Lungs and recognise the health and environmental impacts of domestic solid fuel burning, particularly from wood-burning appliances. “We are currently updating our Enforcement Policy and changes will allow for the issuing of civil penalties ranging from £175 to £300 for visible smoke emissions, replacing the previous reliance on criminal prosecution.  “This work is being undertaken in collaboration with other London boroughs as part of the pan-London Wood Burning Project, which aims to harmonise enforcement approaches and share best practice across the capital.”
    • The solicitor is also the Executor. Big mistake, but my Aunt was very old, and this was the Covid years and shortly after so impossible to intervene and get a couple of close relatives to do this.  She had no children so this is the nephews and nieces. He is a single practitioner, and most at his age would have long since retired - there is a question over his competence Two letters have already gone essentially complaining - batted off and 'amusingly' one put the blame on us. There are five on our side, all speaking to each other, and ideally would work as a single point of contact.  But he has said that this is not allowed - we've all given approval to act on each others behalf. There are five on her late husband's side, who have not engaged with us despite the suggestion to work as a team, There is one other, who get's the lion's share, the typicical 'friend', but we are long since challenging the will. I would like to put another complaint together that he has not used modern collective communication (I expect that he is incapable) which had seriously delayed the execution of the will.   I know many in their 80s very adept with smart phones so that is not an ageist comment. The house has deteriorated very badly, with cold, damp and a serious leak.  PM me if you want to see the dreadful condition that it is now in. I would also question why if the five of us are happy to work together why all of us need to confirm in writing.             The house was lived in until Feb 23, and has been allowed to get like this.
    • Isn’t a five yearly electricity safety certificate one of the things the landlord must give for a legal tenancy?
    • Very sorry to hear this, but surely the landlord is responsible for fixing the electrics?  Surely they must be insured for things like this? I hope you get it all sorted out quickly.
