Now you know how Arsenal felt at half time on Sunday, Jah.


Sounds familiar and possession counts for nothing at the end of the day.


The team that takes it chances wins and many teams suffer from believing in the new management mantras of "Possession football" and "the team that passes the ball best, blah blah blah" which are the top managerial misconceptions of the moment.


Wenger, Benitez, and Mowbray too, are the main culprits I can think of in thinking that you can win a game without remembering that the point of the game is to create genuine chances and score goals.


Alex Ferguson and Martin O Neill lead the way in the opposing corner.

Manchester United had five shots off target and two shots on target and scored twice, both from outside the box. Two very good finishes I might add. Similarly we had two on target and six off target. We didn't take our chances and they did.

I'm not too bothered though. It's no disgrace to go out of a competition at the quarter-final stage at Old Trafford. Perhaps, now we can concentrate more on cementing a top four finish and maybe a good run in the FA Cup.

I can...

They've announced the seeding and we are seeded. Portugal and France not. Potential Group of Death = Portugal/France, Ivory Coast, USA


From BBC "worst case scenario on Friday would arguably see Fabio Capello's side take on France, Ivory Coast and the USA, while a far easier proposition on paper would have England facing Slovenia, Algeria and New Zealand."

Wave Palestinian flags, unions urge Celtic soccer fans at tonights match against Isrealis

"We hope that Celtic fans will join with us in a demonstration of support for a just and lasting peace in Israel/Palestine based on a secure Palestinian homeland living side by side with Israel," Dave Moxham, deputy secretary general of the Scottish Trades Union Congress said in a statement.


Thankfully Celtic have nipped this in the bud, but why on earth would a Scottish Trades Union get involved in this sort of propoganda request? Embarrasing.

    • The step means Love Dulwich is not disabled friendly though they went to help someone on  crutches up the step last time we were there  much prefer it as a Turkish than café but maybe not for this group   The noise level might be an issue as it’s all hard surfaces though I don’t recall it being noisy. check out Olivelli the menu has a good range  though it’s not the best Italian you can get. There’s also a step up into Maria’s - much smaller but you need to negotiate the step and door at the same time. Olivelli has more room and if I remember right the toilets are on the ground floor. A consideration if steps are an issue The Lordship might be an option. Noise is not usually an issue. We’ve enjoyed various meals there. The ladies toilets are on the same floor as the tables (the gents may be upstairs). The staff are always friendly
    • It’s about chains, and the ethos of family run business versus unhealthy competition

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
