Or as the Platters san - Oh yes I'm the great pretender - dedicated to old saggy chops. As for winning anything, FA Cup, you're 'aving a larf.

Wow yet another classic from spurs psycho hatchet man. AS ususal spuds fans with short memories your own keeper was the holder of the clown of the premiership title not that long ago. Couldn't catch water in a bucket if memory serves me right.

Bridge is a poor defender anyway, so no loss there. Cole may not be fit, which would be a shame as despite being a tosser he is a good player. It will porbably be a case of a right footed player filling in at left back, though Gareth Barry used to be a left back. Also there's always the young Gibbs from that other North London team. I'm sure my old mucker Atila will agree with me for once on that call.

There is certainly a dearth of good left backs in this country but I suppose Nicky Shorey is now in with a pretty good chance though I don't rate him either.

If only Gareth Bale was English. He gave another masterful attacking full-back display last night against Bolton and since he's come back into the side has got better and better and his confidence is sky high. Certainly one of the best in the Premiership on current form.

jagielka's a centre half though isn't he?


atila- gomes might have had a shaky start but there aren't too many better keepers in the prem now


after watching fabianksi and almunia in recent months i think chelsea's reserve keeper 'hilario' would be apt for arsenal right now

Why should he? He's still the best player for the job as England captain in my view. He might not be a gentleman like Bobby Moore but he's a natural leader on the pitch.

Well I just wonder if Terry is going to get Beckhamesque type treatment BEFORE The World Cup. I don't know if his obvious dip in form is due to this current scenario or that he is just over the hill. Admittedly England would have a problem at CH as well as LB without Terry and Cole, but play like Brazil and it wont matter.

    • Exactly what I said, that Corbyn's group of univeristy politics far-left back benchers would have been a disaster during Covid if they had won the election. Here you go:  BBC News - Ex-union boss McCluskey took private jet flights arranged by building firm, report finds https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp3kgg55410o The 2019 result was considered one of the worst in living memory for Labour, not only for big swing of seats away from them but because they lost a large number of the Red-wall seats- generational Labour seats. Why? Because as Alan Johnson put it so succinctly: "Corbyn couldn't lead the working class out of a paper bag"! https://youtu.be/JikhuJjM1VM?si=oHhP6rTq4hqvYyBC
    • Agreed and in the meantime its "joe public" who has to pay through higher prices. We're talking all over the shop from food to insurance and everything in between.  And to add insult to injury they "hurt " their own voters/supporters through the actions they have taken. Sadly it gets to a stage where you start thinking about leaving London and even exiting the UK for good, but where to go????? Sad times now and ahead for at least the next 4yrs, hence why Govt and Local Authorities need to cut spending on all but essential services.  An immediate saving, all managerial and executive salaries cannot exceed and frozen at £50K Do away with the Mayor of London, the GLA and all the hanging on organisations, plus do away with borough mayors and the teams that serve them. All added beauracracy that can be dispensed with and will save £££££'s  
    • The minimum wage hikes on top of the NICs increases have also caused vast swathes of unemployment.
    • Exactly - a snap election will make things even worse. Jazzer - say you get a 'new' administration tomorrow, you're still left with the same treasury, the same civil servants, the same OBR, the same think-tanks and advisors (many labour advisors are cross-party, Gauke for eg). The options are the same, no matter who's in power. Labour hasn't even changed the Tories' fiscal rules - the parties are virtually economically aligned these days.  But Reeves made a mistake in trying too hard, too early to make some seismic changes in her first budget as a big 'we're here and we're going to fix this mess, Labour to the rescue' kind of thing . They shone such a big light on the black hole that their only option was to try to fix it overnight. It was a comms clusterfuck.  They'd perhaps have done better sticking to Sunak's quiet, cautious approach, but they knew the gullible public was expecting an 24-hour turnaround miracle.  The NIC hikes are a disaster, I think they'll be reversed soon and enough and they'll keep trying till they find something that sticks.
