It is a shame about the clashes as it was a cracking game which we dominated until they scored their 2nd when we just fell apart at the back chasing it.


I always laugh at David James but he was superb today and kept Pompey in it.

Hello Declan


I do like football, although I do not understand all the rules. My team is Manchester United and, when in my twenties/thirties I regularly used to attend their matches. At school I had this dreadful crush on George Best (RIP Georgie). In fact I received something like one week's detention because I "engraved" his name on one of the school desks. Does that answer your questions?;-)

Thank you LM. Reminds me of days gone by. I never even saw him play as I was stuck in the middle of Ireland, but when he left MU I was devastated and I don't use that word lightly. The slightly curious thing was that years later he was just a few feet away from my table in a restaurant in Mayfair as he left with a beauty on his arm. I couldn't nor did I wish to say anything to him. I was glad to see him though.

well neither did I. I was still at school/living at home and my parents were poor. By the time I was working and could afford to attend matches, he had left Man. U.

Me too! Gosh I can totally relate...

A memory to treasure, I'll bet.


*eyes well up*



Before I leave this thread...one final treat...just watch the way his legs accelerate and manoevre past the other players...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytSt7EnHhXc&feature=related

    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
    • I do hope NOT, wouldn't trust Farage as far as I could throw him, Starmer & co.  He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.   
    • Everyone gets the point that Corbynites try to make with the "total number of votes cast" statistic, it's just a specious one.  In 2017, Corbyn's Labour got fewer votes than May's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes). In 2019, Corbyn's Labour fewer votes than Johnson's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes); and he managed to drop 2.7 million votes or 6.9% of vote share between the two elections. I repeat, he got trounced by Boris F***ing Johnson and the Tories after the Brexit omnishambles. It is not true that a "fairer" electoral system would have seen Labour beat the Tories: Labour simply got fewer votes than the Tories. Corbyn lost twice. There is no metric by which he won the general election. His failure to win was a disaster for the UK, and let Johnson and Truss and Sunak into office. Corbynites have to let go of this delusion that Corbyn but really won somehow if you squint in a certain way. It is completely irrelevant that Labour under Corbyn got more votes than Labour under Starmer. It is like saying Hull City was more successful in its 2014 FA Cup Final than Chelsea was in its 2018 FA Cup Final, because Hull scored 2 goals when Chelsea only scored 1. But guess what - Chelsea won its game and Hull City lost. Corbyn's fans turned out to vote for him - but an even larger group of people who found him repellant were motivated enough to show up and vote Tory.
    • I guess its the thing these days to demonstrate an attitude, in this instance seemingly of the negative kind, instead of taking pride in your work and have standards then 🤷‍♀️
