As I started the first one. I'll start this one off too. The old one has had it.


Disappointed in England's performance on Saturday but I'm off to Wembley for the game against Belarus and there'd better be a vast improvement. Isn't it time Ferdinand was dropped? Certainly if Ledley King was fully fit he'd be in there challenging for his place as on his day he's the best centre-half in the country.

For the same reason I'd keep Jamie Carragher playing for Liverpool especially as he always seems to score for Spurs when you play us. In fact I believe he's scored more times for Spurs than he has for Liverpool. :))(tu)

They will sadly drop off the end of the forum and into cyber oblivion.


Not looking forward to Saturday. Seeing that smug crook back down at FP is going to turn many a stomach. Oh, and if he thinks that the SAS will protect him from the three digits he has another thunk coming! ;)


My prediction? Pompey -7 Tottenham 9 sadly! :(

Please stay on topic ;-)


On another note, Rafa is now paying the price for being like a cold fish with other Managers - whilst the injured Torres and Gerrard are being kept on international duty the likes of Rooney and Xavi have been released back to their Clubs. Having said that we beat Man U last season without them and we do play better as a team without a focal point (as Man U will eventually find without Ronaldo).

I read that as well - but the fact Spain have already qualified and they were concerned enough to give him a scan suggests that they should have taken same precautions as with Puyol and Xavi and send him back to his Club for any necessary treatment. With the number of injuries he picked up on international duty last season I am bracing myself for him returning unable to play at Sunderland this Saturday.

I don't think Ferdinand should be dropped on the back of a couple of mistakes. He is proven quality and should therefore be allowed to play himself back into form. His mistakes are of judgement as opposed to a loss of pace or technique. Form is temporary and class is permanent.

I actually agree too that he is still our best option. I strongly disagree however, that a class player should never be dropped. Doesn't much matter for this match, but if we needed a win, I'd not want any player who was in poor form playing, if we had the back up of another player who was doing well.

I'm certainly not advocating that you can never drop a class player who is in bad form. But this only is an option if you have a like for like replacement.I don't really feel England have adequate cover in this position as I think Ferdinand on a bad day is still better then Lescott or Upson on a good.

      Tree Dulwich Park

      By Sue · Posted

      This presumably hasn't been done by vandals. It's hardly a Sycamore Gap situation. So if it's been done by professionals, unless it was a mistake (unlikely) there must have been a good reason, as it would have cost money. It would perhaps have been a good idea to put a notice on the tree explaining why such drastic work was done, but usually (I think) it would be either because of disease (often not noticeable on the surface) or that the roots or branches  were endangering nearby structures. As already said, nobody on here is likely to know. The tree department in Southwark Council are helpful in my (admittedly limited) experience. Please post on here when you have found out, as I agree what's left of the tree looks pretty odd. Depending on why the work was done, possibly they intend to remove the rest as well?

      SIM card for spare mobile

      By Sue · Posted

      I have a very stupid question. I want to get a SIM card to put in an old mobile as a back up,  in case despite my best efforts my mobile gets stolen and I have no way of contacting anybody quickly, eg banks. Can I just buy any old cheap pay as you go  SIM card and put say ten pounds on it and it will then be fine for years (with the phone kept charged!) even if I don't use it, or do I have to use the phone  every so often to keep the SIM card valid?

      I hate to see trees cut down to such an unfinished state. Unless the tree is home to wildlife, an effort should be made to remove & replace. Otherwise, it's just so useless & unsightly.

      Given the level of care in Dulwich Park, I would not expect this to be careless or unnecessary. It will grow back.
