A seven-year-old boy was at the centre of a

London courtroom drama yesterday when he challenged a court ruling over

who should have custody of him. The boy has a history of being beaten by

his parents and the judge initially awarded custody to his aunt, in

keeping with child custody law and regulations requiring that family unity

be maintained to the degree possible.

The boy surprised the court when he proclaimed that his aunt beat him

more than his parents and he adamantly refused to live with her. When

the judge then suggested that he live with his grandparents, the boy

cried out that they also beat him.


After considering the remainder of the immediate family and learning

that domestic violence was apparently a way of life among them, the judge

took the unprecedented step of allowing the boy to propose who should

have custody of him. After two recesses to check legal references and

confer with child welfare officials, the judge granted temporary custody

to Tottenham Hotspur Football Club whom the boy firmly believes are

incapable of beating anyone

Brilliant - my Dad supports Norwich and I remember that so well. I don't think I have cringed so much in my life.


You know when you wake up and try to recall the night before? That moment has got to be the worst, worse than any hangover you could EVER possibly have. :-$

Derby 1 v 2 West Ham

Liverpool 3 v 0 Fulham

Sunderland 2 v 1 Newcastle

Birmingham 1 v 1 Aston Villa

Bolton 2 v 1 Middlesbrough

Chelsea 2 v 1 Everton

Man Utd 2 v 1 Blackburn

Portsmouth 2 v 0 Man City

Tottenham 3 v 1 Wigan

Reading 1 v 2 Arsenal


Good work Spurs today. Not sure how Bolton will get on against Bayern...

Leaving aside Lawro's innate pessimim (he wasn't always like that BTW - when he played for the Republic he was quite hapy to have a pop at goal from 50 yards several times a game such was his youthful optimism) he might be onto something


Several draws on the trot, coupled with spirited but less than glamorous football suggest a dose of realism has descended upon the team. Over the season that might work in our favour but for now I can se Monday's game being a draw as well.


Of course it might be a watershed as well but I'm a leeeetle bit nervy. Anyway:


Derby 0-2 West Ham

Liverpool 3-0 Fulham

Sunderland 1-1 Newcastle (forgot this was on.. juicy)

Birmingham 1-2 Aston Villa

Bolton 2-2 Middlesbrough

Chelsea 1-1 Everton

Man Utd 3-1 Blackburn

Portsmouth 2-1 Man City

Tottenham 2-0 Wigan

Reading 0-1 Arsenal

England squad: Robinson, Carson, James, P Neville, Campbell, Richards, Brown, Lescott, Shorey, Bridge, A Cole, Beckham, Wright-Phillips, Bentley, Gerrard, Lampard, Hargreaves, Barry, J Cole, Downing, Young, Smith, Crouch, Defoe, Rooney, Owen.


Hmm :-S


Ferdinand suspended (muppet!), Terry injured, Richards not fully fit. Just so long as Lampard doesn't get his place back, I don't care if he is scoring for Chelsea!

The year we won the title at Shite Hart Lane he played and put in some x-rated tackles and moaned about everything, just because he felt he had to, as he had been (as in once upon a time) a big star and therefore had the right to do so. He was one of a gang of players that Spuds decided to take on in their superannuation scheme that they were running at the time for several players that were over the hill, and wanted an easy life. >:D<

Oh.


I don't really remember him at Spurs. I mean I remember him going there, but don't remember much about it, other than him being injured lots, which unfortunately was always the problem. I for one thought he was a wonderful player at his best, but along with Fowler, Liverpool had 2 players who could have really had great England careers had they not had so many injuries.


As for Macca, everyone said he never did it for England, but I thought he was one of the best players in Euro '96, making a load of goals, and he looked good in 2000, but then got injured again.

    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
    • Oh dear, hope you are OK, I've had it three times and it was worse each time, but not a patch on many of those who got it before they vac' role out. Not commenting on the discussion as I got confused many days ago beyond the reminder that Corbyn would not compromise and the harm that could lead to him, the party and regards Brexit pre and post referendum the country.  Starmer goes too far the other way at times.  
    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.   
    • @NewWave I know how you feel. Like you, I've lived and spent prolonged periods of time in some pretty crazy places and always thought I could handle a bunch of kids. But, no - they got to me and I was shaking like a leaf afterwards. That's what age does to us.  But I did engage with them, so bear that in mind.  My advice would be to never let anything like that stop you doing the things you love. I'm certainly not going to stop using the park, there's no way they get to take away our cherished spaces!  If you see them, just change tack and keep out of their way. My dog won't even go that way again, so that's that problem solved. (If I see them again, I'm going to keep taking photos from a safe distance).
