I doubt it and I sincerely hope not. What's wrong with the England management set-up is that it's the wrong way round. Venables should be in charge with McLaren underneath him.

As for Steve Bruce, well he's obviously surplus to requirements at Birmingham once this takeover goes through so he might as well go somewhere where he's wanted.

So McLaren and the England team got lucky with the results at the weekend. But I can still see us screwing it all up by losing on Wednesday night. Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory so to speak. Am I being a tad pessimistic here?


England 1 Croatia 2

Croatia have been rock solid at home but don't travel so well and have recently failed to beat the likes of Macedonia (yeah I wonder what that's like), Japan and Malta away.

It being Wembley I think we'll do it, but am not expecting it to be anything less than shredded nerves time.

I can't believe that we are so happy about the fact that another country has (possibly) done us a favour. It just shows you how low we are now setting our sights/expectations. And worst of all we are now lumbered with that log of wood known as Mclaren, for the forseebale future. How cruel is fate eh??? :'(

Exactly right! I think we'll get there, but we don't really deserve it... Having said that, the table doesn't lie, so if we qualify then we've done better than the team in 3rd.


Thing is, there are big changes needed, and no one seems brave enough to make them. The FAs answer seems to be either through money at a problem, which never works, or give the job to a "safe pair of hands" that will never improve. It's depressing, and worse of all Lampard seems to have gotten his starting place back!!!

Thankfully the international break will be over by the weekend, so here we go

Fulham 1 v Blackburn 1

West Ham 2 v Tottenham 2

Of course I do, but Arsenal are at home, against a Wigan side who won't be feeling fatigue, just think they might make a match of it. I've still given you the win!


Liverpool will have some tired players too, but there always seems to be goals in the Newcastle matches.


Chelsea may be tired, but the simply can't lose to Derby.

I hope so. Most of the games look good for entertainment value. The Arse and Man Ure are scoring for fun at the moment and not letting much in and as you say yourself Newcastle v Liverpool is generally a high scoring game and West Ham v Spurs could be similar as both defences are bit suspect but I think we have that little bit extra firepower up front. Roll on MOTD at the weekend as I'll probably be watching England V Croatia from behind the sofa.

    • Hello! We are relocating abroad and so will be withdrawing our two children (ages 4 and 6) from St Dunstan’s College (Catford). If any family is considering enrolling children of a similar age, now would be an excellent opportunity—we’re required to pay full‑term fees unless the places are taken. Please get in touch if you’re interested or know someone who might be. Thank you!
    • Hi  I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though. Hope some of these might provide leads. https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/137603-home-schooling-advice-anyone-wants-to-do-it-together/#comment-1092093 Very old post but group seems still to exist: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/92044-home-education-local-group/#comment-954837 You could try contacting this forum member: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/325368-classroom-support-for-home-education-community/#comment-1621064 Two of these left for right now: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/events/event/1025-🌟-teens-11-try-painting-sculpture-street-art-at-holiday-workshops/
    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
