Wikipedia - "The term first appeared in the 1930s. Sports reporters of the era used separate pieces of paper to record the different statistical details of a game. If one team did not allow a goal, then that team's "details of goals conceded" page would appear blank, leaving a clean sheet."

Win against Hull on Saturday and I think Spurs on the 16th Dec will be a six pointer game, which could make a lot of difference either way and we still have a game in hand !

Sorry mate, no I'm not-newbie as of yesterday. Only been in the area since September-True Blue through n through and a Manc exile.

Not one for being nasty to other team supporters but like banter- friendly like. Ever been to the Swamp BTW ? ;-p

Darren Fletcher, 'I don?t want to sound big headed, but I?ve never come up against anyone who has torn me to shreds. The only time that has happened has been in training against Roy Keane and Paul Scholes.' .... 'I have to train with Scholesy every day so I know how good he is. I can?t get near him.' .... hmmm yes the same Scholes the much maligned Lucas kept robbing of the ball last month at Anfield.

Darren Fletcher, what a world class talent he is, up there with likes of Veron and Djemba Djemba, so crap they named him twice.

Hahaha - I wonder if Scholes is being tee'd up for Footballer of the Year, with Fletcher getting the PFA joke award. If Scholes and Fletcher played for any other Club they'd get 2 yellow cards each every game before half time.

Now I wonder what would have happened if I had said that?

I'd have rolled my eyes and ignored it just as I have matthew.


Seriously, people might want to check scholes silverware before calling him crap. Yep he's a little physical and dirty, but we can't scream at divers and soft referees that's it a contact sport then complain about those midfielders who get stuck in.

Plus in all these years he's by and large kept his mouth and flies shut and let his football do the talking, a lesson many could learn.


I'm sure he's indifferent as to whether we like him, but I for one admire him.

What Mockney said.


Scholes is a class player and the only thing that gets him in trouble is the fact that he can't tackle to save his life. Hence the occasional booking or sending off for a poorly timed tackle that occasionally makes him look like a dirty player.

He's not a diver or a cheat and he doesn't have his head in the clouds like a lot of footballers these days. He quietely goes about his business on the field of play. So tackling apart, a model professional and as good a role model for young players as Ryan Giggs.

      The Mansion Tax

      By Dogkennelhillbilly · Posted

      This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!

      I checked - the Hanway Street place was Mandeer - it moved to New Oxford Street I think and was replaced by Hakkasan - very different prices.

      How late is your Christmas Card

      By Cancerian · Posted

      Suppose it depends on how many Christmas cards from family and friends you’re waiting to receive. It’s been the Christmas period so surely give the post delivery service some leeway. Like Sue I’ve not posted off so many this year but some I still write letters to  e.g my late mum’s cousins and other family  but hey ho that’s something I do and enjoy.  I used to hand deliver Christmas cards to a lot of neighbours on my street but gave up this year as realised that most of them I don’t see or speak to and can only count on a few to call a true friend or neighbour.
