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?;-)

For Declan (and me)...hope the rest of you don't mind. In memory of a field genius:

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.

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

      Nasty kids in Peckham Park

      By MCK100 · Posted

      @NewWave I know how you feel. Like you, I've lived and spent prolonged periods of time in some pretty crazy places and always thought I could handle a bunch of kids. But, no - they got to me and I was shaking like a leaf afterwards. That's what age does to us.  But I did engage with them, so bear that in mind.  My advice would be to never let anything like that stop you doing the things you love. I'm certainly not going to stop using the park, there's no way they get to take away our cherished spaces!  If you see them, just change tack and keep out of their way. My dog won't even go that way again, so that's that problem solved. (If I see them again, I'm going to keep taking photos from a safe distance).

      Truly horrific. Being passive or fighting back is what many of us think about by violent theft.

      Move to SE22, school recommendation?

      By Hen123 · Posted

      Lots of good primary schools within reach of there. Fairlawn, Goodrich, Ivydale and Horiman. Secondary schools you will definitely get into the Harris Academies or Sydenham Girls or Forest Hill Boys, you might just be on the boundary for the East Dulwich or North Dulwich Charter but it changes every year.
