It was only Nani that got sent off SP - unless he is now one of your better players?


I saw the Nani tackle and for me I don't think it was a Red card. It may say in the rule book he had to go but if the Ref followed rule book then how the hell does Paul Scholes ever last an hour on the pitch???


We can argue about Fabregas not being in the box (although assuming he was 10 yards back from free kick he most certainly was in area so I'd say if Ref gives it as a handball then by default he will give a pen as otherwise he has failed in putting back the wall 10 yards.

Come on Matt, you can take a joke can't you? Unlike some. Suprisingly,as I'm sure you know, Nani IS one of our better players now. At least he has been for three or so games. I know Robbie Savage was umming and ahhing about the tackle as he wasn't sure it was a red card, but hey, them's the breaks.


I haven't seen the Fabregas incident but I was suprised Liverpool didn't out muscle Arsenal last night. You say you had a lot of the game Matt?

Well the first half was a shocking spectacle but the second was quite open. I think it was quite balanced. Both teams had chances. Ngog may be derided for his Brum dive but last night when clean through he leapt out of the way when the Dutch defender tried to go across the back of him inside box.


Lot of empty seats at Emirates from what I saw on telly. If they can't fill it with Wenger's football in a big match what chance when they say have another Bruce Rioch or George Graham in charge?

Watched it all on Match Of The Day last night. Definately not a penalty. It was outside the area...though you probably have a point about the wall not being ten yards. I thought Liverpool lacked quite a bit of ambition going forward and lost fair and square.


As for Spurs and their rubbish performance against Wolves. Alan Hansen remarked last night:- "As soon as Spurs look like they are in the ascendency they will always let you down." How bloody true.


Some happy Hammers this morning I'll bet.

Harry Redknapp and Milan Mandaric were released on unconditional bail this morning after appearing in a London court charged with tax evasion. Mandaric, Redknapp's chairman when he was manager of Portsmouth, released a statement saying he was confident he would be exonerated of any wrongdoing. Their case was adjourned until April 14.


John Terry boarded a plane to Dubai this morning in an effort to save his marriage amid allegations of an affair with the ex-partner of England team-mate Wayne Bridge. The Chelsea captain will miss the FA Cup fifth-round tie at home to Cardiff on Saturday after Carlo Ancelotti, his manager, agreed to compassionate leave.


Hull have been fined ?40,000 and Arsenal ?20,000 for failing to control their players in a Premier League match at the Emirates Stadium in December. Better news for Hull is they have settled their legal dispute with former chairman Paul Duffen out of court.


Steven Gerrard, the Liverpool captain, has hit out at Howard Webb's "crazy" decision not to award his side a penalty in last night's 1-0 defeat away to Arsenal. Cesc Fabregas admitted afterwards that he handled Gerrard's stoppage-time free kick but Webb, the referee, did not spot it.

Gerrard went down a tad too easily on a few occasions last night. Not befitting conduct for a potential England captain.

Perhaps, the poor dears work so hard they need to have some perks. How do they scrape by on a mere ?120k a week, it must be sheer hell for them.

      Interested to know dog owners opinion

      By Bernadette 12 · Posted

      Hello,  I am interested to know people's opinion regarding dogs left tied up outside shops.  As I am hoping most dog owners are aware of how high risk it is now for dog theft.  People's houses are targeted for dog theft, even waiting to have a dog out in their back gardens, even for few minutes, to steal.  This is a very common occurrence now, as is breaking into properties to steal dogs.  The reasons behind dog theft varies, from using to breed, sell on, to use to sit whilst asking for money, (obviously not all people asking for money are dog thieves & may well own their own dog) and for dog bait for fighting.  This is not me being a drama queen, it is there for anyone to research regarding dog theft.  So would you leave your dog tied up outside a shop?

      Gyms in dulwich

      By Dogkennelhillbilly · Posted

      I don't know if any of the cricket or tennis clubs also have little gyms. There are also pilates studios on Melbourne Grove, Blackwater St, North Cross Rd and even the community hall of the church on Calton Ave. The David Lloyd gym in Orpington is very luxurious and expensive.

      The Mansion Tax

      By James Barber · Posted

      HI CPR Dave, I have to agree with Dogkennelhillbilly. We still have net migration into the country as per the Office of National Statistics- https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/populationandmigration/internationalmigration It may go negative in a year or two if pundits specialising in this are correct, but it isn't yet. Hi Dogkennelhillbilly, I don't think your maths is correct. Southwark Council states total empty homes at 8,588 -https://southwarknews.co.uk/news/housing/southwark-has-over-8500-empty-homes/ the total number of homes is 135k. Which means 6.36% are empty. However, while canvassing came across an empty home which does not appear to have been appreciated by Southwark Council who are now investigating whether the empty Home Council Tax Premium should have been applied for the last 10+ years. It seems likely the 8,588 is under reporting the number of empty homes.  Infill sites are defined by most public bodies was non strategic sites from a development perspective. The railway yard and other sites are in the Southwark strategic plans and thus would not be infill sites.  Tall buildings planted into lower surrounding suburban areas is a subjective matter whether they are viewed as out of character for the area. It is factually true that I think they are out of character. Equally you have no qualms about such tall buildings being planted into the SE22 area.
