Birmingham City and proud of our negligible impact on the beautiful game.

I did at first...but don't now...besides, I don't think I could remain upset with you for too long.


Anyway, I am now especially delighted over the fact that we now appear to have FOUR Man. U supporters on this thread. How cool is that!

It's typical of the press here I'd say. I'm not sure how many of them watch foreign matches apart from when English clubs are involved.


In fact I'd be more interested to hear what Jimmy TT has to say regarding the respective merits of Rooney and Messi as he watches a lot of Spanish football it seems!


Jimmy?

I doubt it, we'll find a way of screwing it up before we even get there. My prediction is we finish fourth, then fail to qualify a la Everton in 2005 or whatever it was.

I always think it's a bit over the top when players get labelled the 'best in the world' on the back of half a season's worth of performances. Class is permanent and form is temporary. I'd have to say at the moment Ronaldo is the best player in the world. He is in scintillating form for Madrid and scores and/or creates goals for his teammates every week. And he has done this consistently for the past 3 seasons at least. Rooney and Messi are both in superb form and both young. It's hard to say who is the best because they play in different positions. Messi patrols the attacking third, usually coming in from the flanks, whereas Rooney is more central and doing most of his work in and around the box at the moment. The world cup will truly decide who is the real world class players are.

Would you be more specific? London is a big place and has a lot of football teams. If that question is too difficult can you say if you were born in Tottenham?

Get off my case Declan. At least I'm from the same city as the team I support. Those conversations have been done to death on here so let's not repeat them. OK. Hands up I was probably in the wrong if you're gonna say I started it. Where were you born - Narnia?

Xavi and Iniesta should also be regarded as truly world class players who each have a shout as best player in the world. They don't score the goals that the others do, but their influence on games can be just as outstanding. Xavi is my favourite player right now and is a fantastic little midfielder. He is the fulcrum of an outstanding Barcelona team and really makes them tick. Iniesta is a world class dribbler and has great close control and a fantastically positive attitude, which you need to have if you want to take players on. Torres, when on form, is also a world class performer.

      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!!
