Dont forget the salaries. They have a bigger impact on profit and loss than any other outgoing at a football club.

Slightly different take on it

Was a bit taken aback at the scoreline, but then again Wolves are on a bit of a roll, especially away from home (more points gained away than at Molineux)...it's still too tight to call, a couple of wins/losses and everything changes...like you said in an earlier post, Hammers will stay up because there are 3 worse teams than them.

Well that was the case too when Sheffield United went down (and a truly dreadful Fulham team stayed up). And there's often some really weird results in the final games of the season. It would not surprise me if Portsmouth had a good run now it is too late...

certainly did, and these were just the ones declared and not hidden in the Cayman Isles by Redknapp and Storrie!

5 losses (all very one sided) in a row including two crucial six pointers at home. I think Dowie will give Hull some momentum. We've a better squad than most teams in the bottom half - the buck has to stop with Zola and Clarke. Zola interviewed last night sounded like a broken man way out of his depth...he's gone from a kind of mantra of smiley optimism to broken with no anger inbetween. I think he should go today, not sure if he will.

Not really. But for those of us who remember just how much they completley dominated the domestic game in the 70s and especially 80s then at first (ie a few years ago) I was quite happy when they stopped winning league titles and cups almost unchallenged and gave others a chance! I don't believe they'll go into complete 'meltdown' as their heritage and 'brand' (pukes) and global fanbase is far too big for that. I think i'd be far happier if they won the Premiership next year than Man U or Chelsea say.

As I said yesterday, I saw the Bolton defeat and it has to be the worst performance I have seen from an Irons side in 25 years. Last night was as bad and the body language all over the pitch was wromg.


It is not even the case that we can play a more robust form of football to help our case, we simply do not have the players.


We sold badly and bought badly, I have no idea what players like Kovac, Franco, jimenez etc. are doing there, don't even get me started on Savio. This is Zola (and Nani's) team, bought in very difficult circumstances, yes, but a shower nonetheless.


Zola is a great guy and was a great player, his Ideas on how football should be played are admirable but this is the real world and it is time for him to leave.

Yes, and apparently the Pope wears a funny hat.

      Love Dulwich Restaurant

      The step means Love Dulwich is not disabled friendly though they went to help someone on  crutches up the step last time we were there  much prefer it as a Turkish than café but maybe not for this group   The noise level might be an issue as it’s all hard surfaces though I don’t recall it being noisy. check out Olivelli the menu has a good range  though it’s not the best Italian you can get. There’s also a step up into Maria’s - much smaller but you need to negotiate the step and door at the same time. Olivelli has more room and if I remember right the toilets are on the ground floor. A consideration if steps are an issue The Lordship might be an option. Noise is not usually an issue. We’ve enjoyed various meals there. The ladies toilets are on the same floor as the tables (the gents may be upstairs). The staff are always friendly

      But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
