Sorry babes. I was high on lighter fluid and deoderants at the time. Of course I meant Spurs could not afford Johnson, with him being english and all and therefore counting as a homegrown for Europe.

I reckon GJ would be upwards of ?12m. Judas himself was quoted as saying that he was only going for loans was he not? (Not that you can beleive anything that comes out of his lying saggy mouth of course! ;) Would debate whether you would want Johnson to play over Corluka though; who I think is class.


Reckon it's just tabloid crap tho.

Nope, now there's two! Talking of tabloid crap, I heard a rumour that Redknapp was going to lose O'Hara and Lennon back to Anfield, in a cash + players deal for Keano. Methinks it's more than just Ratty who's been at the lighter fluid!


I'm burying my head and not reading any of it! January will be interesting tho

That would be bonkers Kells wouldn't it. Lennon's doing the business again and O'Hara gets better with every game. Cracking goal against the Hammers. We could do with another forward but I don't think Robbie Keane will be coming back anytime soon. I don't think Harry's got much to spend anyway and will probably wheel and deal in the loan market. Frankly, I don't think we need any of Portsmouth's players apart from Jermaine Defoe.


Ratty.

If memory serves me well, didn't Portsmouth buy Defoe in January of last year? That's 12 months. So we can have him.


Twelve million quid for Johnson! You're having a laugh. Besides once Alan Hutton is back from injury we wouldn't need him anyway.

Interesting? It would be fucking hilarious. He lost the dressing room for a start and I really don't think there are too many of our players who are good enough to play for Real Madrid.

O'Hara's goal was magic. Can't see any of them going to Real Madrid...half of the problem seemed to be that Ramos, for whatever reason, couldn't get the best out of them here, so why would they go? And yes, I don't think that many of them would be good enough for Real Madrid. Not yet, but I'll enjoy it if they prove me wrong!


I've even started believing in Gomes. And I never thought that would happen. That was probably the highlight of the hammers game for me (well OK, there were two)

Not correct I'm afraid my love and this is where the confusion is. To push the deal through Jermain came on loan (we were waiting on the Benjani to City deal) we then got dispensation from the FA to finalise the deal later in Feb. He was not allowed to play against Spurs because he was technically on loan. His permanent move being made as soon as June transfer window opened. 12 months will be June 2009.


Johnson is only worth that much cos he is English and therefore counts as homegrown for UEFA quota. Liekwise Defoe, and Crouch. Homegrown players values are gonna inflate even higher as Uefa rules tighten.

Don't think he totally lost the dressing room, Jenas just the other day (before the Madrid news) was saying what a great coach he was, but that a couple of things just didn't work out.


Gossip columns are suggesting he may come in for Zokora...


RE: Defoe, if memory serves, they missed the deadline last January, so he actually went on loan, and was only signed properly in the summer, so the 12 months won't be up... Could be wrong though.


Why would Spurs want him back anyway? He's a decent player, but he was very much 3rd choice behind Keane & Berba, so why ggo back?

I don't think we should have got rid of Defoe in the first place. But there you go, Spurs are the only team who can start the season with Benty on his own, and wonder where all the goals have gone. I think Commolli had more of an impact on Ramos' team than it should have, just because it works on the continent.... But Harry wouldn't put up with that, even if Comolli was still at the Lane.

Changing the Subject...


A thread on another forum I go on (Pompey Fans Online) has made me chortle so I thought I would plagiarize it on here.


What football chants over the year have made you guffaw? My own personal favourite, is, as a young man at the time of the Cleveland Child Abuse scandals, going up to old Ayrsome Park and singing "Get your Kids out for the Dads" at the boro faithful (all 9 of them).


Anyone else????

I see Alex Ferguson has come out with more hostile nonsense, this time saying it's a terrible black mark against the FA for banning Evra for 4 matches after he'd punched an overweight groundsman in the head back in May at Stamford Bridge. Let us not forget that to try and get themselves off the hook United's propaganda machine at first suggested the groundsman had racially abused Evra, that in itself is below the belt and should have been dealt with by the FA.


I can't think of a bigger hypocrite in this country than Alex Ferguson, he'd make a politician blush.

      Oh yes, it could have been about there, I can't remember exactly. At one point there seemed to be a load of pizza places opening on NCR. I vaguely remember the one we used to use was put out of business by another one which opened. Wasn't Grace and Favour's food offering more of a tea shop at the back of the actual shop? If memory serves the owner, whose name escapes me now, was one of the earliest people I know to move to Hastings. Which must now be crammed with South East Londoners 🤣

      The Mansion Tax

      By James Barber · Posted

      Hi Dogkennelhillbilly, You won't be aware that i proposed infill sites for housing in East Dulwich - the garages on Bassano Street and Henslowe that respectively became 1-4 Dill Terrace family houses and the 78, 80, 80A Henslowe Street family houses. These were council owned garages and it was frustrating how slow the council was to go from my idea to completion (roughly eight years). East Dulwich has some other vacant WW2 bomb sites I'm guessing that the private land owners have been sitting on.Owe for a land tax for vacant land.  WRT to the builders yard by East dulwich station. Southwark Council has an agreed policy the area should remain suburban 2/3 storeys maximum. But the approved scheme is 9 storeys of student accommodation. Very hard to put this genie back in the bottle. The council has recently publicly stated lower ratios of social housing will be required. I will be amazed if the developer doesn't submit another application now they have the 9 storeys approved but with significantly less social housing. The less social housing the higher the land values. The higher the land values the less social housing viability reports state are possible.  If we really want to increase home supply - Southwark have over 6,000 empty homes. Vancouver charges a low % of the value of empty homes and rapidly eased this problem. Parts of Wales have introduced under Article 4 planning permission is required for second homes seeing within 12 months a dramatic decrease in property prices. Southwark Council have Article 4 requirements - why not add this one? It takes National political will to solve this AND regional and local authorities such as the second home council tax premium and these being used promptly.
