Yes - referee takes ball from goalkeeper - hands it to Porto forward - moves into Campbell's way allowing porto to take free kick while Campbell tries to get past the referee to put in a tackle. Too late, goal. Laughable.


But - Good to see Sol Campbell filling in at the back.

I thought it was a clever, quick thinking free kick whilst the Arsenal defence were sleeping. Bit like the one Henry took a few years ago against Chelsea. I don't remember Vinegar face complaining about that one at the time. His face tonight was priceless. He looked like he was sucking a lemon all night.

Actually if you watch it again Jimmy, he was standing right behind the referee trying to get to the ball when the referee backed into him as it was being kicked.


Not that I care about Arsenal CL but I think the referee can be a little too helpful to one team at times.

In the post match analysis I heard the term "accidental back pass". Do you think that was foot to ball or ball to foot?

Also did anyone else think the ITV lot, in particular Robbie Earle completely missed the Gobbi(?)-Robben incident, I thought it looked pretty damning to me (bodycheck disguising elbow in throat). I know Robben is a bit challenged in the standing up stakes but I thought a Red was entirely appropriate.

I think Wenger is looking incrasingly stressed and strained on the touchline at recent games. I think he can see his season slipping away as well as the likelihood of Fabregas bailing out in the summer. You have to now question the wisdom of fielding weakened teams in the Carling and FA cup. What he needs now more then anything is a bit of silverware...any silverware....to keep the fickle Arsenal fans happy. He has also made a rick not trying to get David James in during the transfer window. The keeper last night was awful and Almunia is also poor. A season can be lost on the sort of mistakes those guys have made lately. Still...Arsene knows eh ?

There is a bit of substance behind it KPC. We are back in court for winding up on 1st March. (We are being represented by an East Dulwich barrister by the way!!)


Guardian are running a story on our new potential owners and saying they need 30 days to do due dilligence. Smells like BS to me. We had to produce a statement of affairs in Court on Wednesday, this would have given a complete indication of financial liability and assetts (and would probably have indicated that we were trading whilst insolvent. If this is the case then the court should wind the club up on 1st March. That will be it.


Have also been party to some investigations into the people that have been running the club in the past 3 / 4 years since Mandaric sold it. To say these people are murky is a total understatement.


Most, not all, but most Popey fans want the club wound up now. I am in two minds myself, but fear it will happen soon.


I would not bank on coming to Fratton for the FA Cup match!

Thanks for the reply. Think it?s been inevitable for a while that the demise is imminent ? just a question of timing ? and that it doesn?t particularly serve anyone?s purpose to draw things out (with maybe two exceptions: diehard fans and lawyers and accountants). In the interim, is the club being asset stripped by the ?owners? desperate to get what they can out of the situation?


I only hope that some good comes out of this in the form of justice against those responsible (not that it will repair any of the damage done), but success rates in such cases are low and take years to come to Court. That, and the FA/PL review their requirements for ownership and financial accounting.


Can understand why Pompey fans would have mixed feelings about seeing the season out ? on the one hand it would be a fruitless exercise, but would give the opportunity to go out like Butch and Sundance.


(and your advise is to definitely not buy a ticket off my mate for the PL fixture three days after the QF)

      Sadly I think you will never convince people like this. They think gardens have to be kept chopped back and controlled. My theory is that this comes from being (or trying to be) controlling in every aspect of their lives, so I doubt if anything you could say or show them would have any effect. But are they actually coming into your garden or leaning over into it and pulling up/damaging things? If so, maybe one of our community police people could have a word with them?

      Dear Nature lovers - advice please. I am being harassed by a neighbour who doesn't like my standard of gardening which she calls 'messy'. (I have rewilded my garden with advice from the London Wildlife Trust and a gardening expert from The Times.) I have twice caught this neighbour and her husband pulling up my plants and damaging my trees. Plus she has photographed my house, and sent a dozen complaints to the Dulwich Estate about my plan to rewild the verge outside my property - approved by the Estate some 4 years ago in line with their stated policy of supporting biodiversity in and around Dulwich. What can I do to introduce these neighbours  to the benefits to us all of returning a portion of our gardens to nature?

      Have you tried Southwark's leisure centres? As a regular attendee at Peckham, Camberwell, The Castle and speaking to friends, the dance routines for all ages are similar to Silver ones. In addition Natty, Bianca and Isac are brilliant instructors.

      I've been there for lunch a few times and the home cooked asian food (as part of Sweat Dreams cafe) is genuinely great and a must try. I think the food side of the business has been slow to be noticed but people are now realising what is actually hidden in plain sight.  As for the Aroma Lab coffee ... it is excellent, they are very welcoming and friendly (and unpretentious!). This Australian coffee snob is mightily impressed!!
