And pool fans wonder why people like to see them get beat.


Once again, the Arse turn over the Spuds ( a top 4 side......well they think, they are) Never mind, there's always next season, or the season after, or the season after that, or...............................

very good PeckhamGateCrasher - I like that...


on a more serious note, I'm glad we got the 3 points yesterday but we were poor and a supposedly weakened Spurs team defended much much better than they have so far this season... in short, we were lucky. And that's ok, teams vying for the title need luck sometimes

I heard the dicussions on Sky yesterday and apparently it wasn't just a guess - the Arsenal team had discussed Keane's penalty taking before the game and knew that Keane likes keepers to commit before kicking the ball - that's why Almunia stayed up for so long and chose correctly


That said the penalty wasn't up to his usual standard and could easily have gone past Almunia had it been better

Not the same as saying we were second best for 90 minutes is it? And we're still top of the league. Something Spuds will not experience for many moons. Two class goals from a class team. >:D<

Equally most penalty takers will tell they will pick a spot and go for it. You seem to be implying that a goal keepers skill is in some way inferior to that of a penalty taker. As someone who still plays( or tries to at 50 years of age), and has a son who can play as an outfield player or in goal, I can assure you that it is not. As a penalty taker you have to outwit the keeper by scoring. Keane failed to to do so. That is not being smug, but a plain and simple fact.

I thought Spurs performance was pretty good. We defended very well with a makeshift defence. First half was quite dull and fought out in the midfield but I thought for the first 20 minutes or so of the second half we were the better team. Berbatov's well taken goal from an acute angle was pure class. Still, Keane blew it for us by missing the penalty. We lost, the best team won. Simply really. Still bloody hurts though.

Atila I was just trying to spread some Christmas love!

    • Thanks for the suggestions! If the Angel Oak is the pub on the edge of the Rye, it's probably not too far, but there might be more central (to East Dulwich) pubs to try first. No way will Nyge and I  ever  go to the Cherry Tree again, sorry. We had the most appalling Christmas Day meal there,   which cost us nearly two hundred pounds (for two people) without drinks. It was the only place within walking distance  locally which had availability that day, apart from the Plough (which ironically we wanted to avoid after previous bad experiences with the food  there). We did complain at the time, and were given a free bottle of wine (we don't often drink wine and were having beer with the meal) but we did not want to make a huge fuss and spoil other people's day as well.  Our detailed complaints in an email  were never properly addressed, and my last email to the manager was never answered.
    • Looking for an iPod - preferably a classic - with at least 60gb storage.  Anyone have one hiding in a drawer? Thanks. 
    • Sorry to have missed this one but hope to make the next.  Re suggestions, is the Angel Oak too far?  Or the Cherry tree
    • Not strictly a new place but new to me: stumbled across a fabulous cocktail bar at 210 Rye Lane - we loved the gorgeous, eclectic interior, they make any cocktail you can imagine and will be doing small plates. Think it's called XOTO? opposite the Tesco express at that end of Rye Lane.
