LB - Pick up a blue and white scarf and join me and kpc in the Birmingham City Supporters Club (East Dulwich Branch). We can explain all you need to know about what football is really about - the pain of losing, and the occasional joy of winning.... and the singing....did I mention that?!

Start by supporting your local team. That would be Dulwich Hamlets or Millwall.


Get warm underwear and big woolly scarf. Learn a few phrases to be shouted at apt times, eg, "Who is the elegant athelete in the black who seems a trifle myopic?".


Go with friends and consume lots of hot bovril or beer. If you choose Millwall, the pies outside the ground are better than inside.


Enjoy.

I forgot to say - we can teach you the off-side rule too.

Haha, love it.


As a Liverpool fan living Peckham my husband does regularly go to support Dulwich Hamlet and is now one of the pink and blue army.

Although you don't need the warm clothes for Dulwich Hamlet as you can watch from the bar - result.

Extremely gracious post! Thanks. Thought it was a pretty good game. First 20 minutes were all Brum, then it evened out. Home advantage swung it, but if that goal had been given then it would have been interesting!!

Agreed - at half-time felt that we were in control and that there was very little threat - think there were half a dozen times when you passed the ball out of play. Pompey stepped it up after the break and we didn't respond. Too many players had a poor second halfd. The first goal may have been scrappy but the second was well taken and a killer punch. And we really didn't create much in the second half. Talking to Blues fans after, nearly everyone felt let down by the team. Just make sure you do the right and proper thing if you get V***a in the semis.

His outfit is terrible! He looks like he cries like a girl! He's owned by someone sinister! His manager has a face like a bull dog licking p*ss off a thistle! Anyhoo I dislike men who are prettier than me.

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      By Blah Blah · Posted

      Morally they should, but we don't actually vote for parties in our electoral system. We vote for a parliamentary (or council) representative. That candidates group together under party unbrellas is irrelevant. We have a 'representative' democracy, not a party political one (if that makes sense). That's where I am on things at the moment. Reform are knocking on the door of the BNP, and using wedge issues to bait emotional rage. The Greens are knocking on the door of the hard left, sweeping up the Corbynista idealists. But it's worth saying that both are only ascending because of the failures of the two main parties and the successive governments they have led. Large parts of the country have been left in economic decline for decades, while city fat cats became uber wealthy. Young people have been screwed over by student loans. Housing is 40 years of commoditisation, removing affordabilty beyond the reach of too many. Decently paid, secure jobs, seem to be a thing of the past. Which of the main parties can people turn to, to fix any of these things, when the main parties are the reason for the mess that has been allowed to evolve? Reform certainly aren't the answer to those things. The Greens may aspire to do something meaningful about some of them, but where will they find the money to pay for it? None of it's easy.

      Yes, but the context is important and the reason.

      That messes up Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland - democracy being based on citizenship not literacy. There's intentionally no one language that campaign materials have to be in.

      TBH if people don't see what is sectarian in the materials linked to above when they read about them, then I don't think me going on about it will help. They speak for themselves.  I don't know how the Greens can justify promising to be a strong voice for one particular religion. Will that pledge hold when it comes to campaigning in East Dulwich (which is majority atheist)? https://censusdata.uk/e02000836-east-dulwich/ts030-religion
