I think they made a mistake selling Adebayor. Ok perhaps his attitude was poor at times, but he's exactly the type of centre forward / striker they are missing. He's excellent in the air and can hold up the ball when it's played out to him from defence so that the more mobile deep lying strikers / attacking midfielders can play off him. It is so obvious to me yet Wenger is rarely slagged off for selling him. The same could be said of Fergie's decision to sell Tevez as well looking at his current form.

i know it's not an exact science, but for what it's worth this is how i see the race for fourth going:


Burnley v Man City (city 3)

Sunderland v Tottenham (spurs 3)

Birmingham v Liverpool (liverpool 1)

Tottenham v Arsenal (spurs 1)

Liverpool v Fulham (liverpool 3)

Man City v Birmingham (city 3)

Man City v Man Utd (city 1)

Tottenham v Chelsea (spurs 1)

Liverpool v West Ham (liverpool 3)

Arsenal v Man City (city 0)

Burnley v Liverpool (liverpool 3)

Man Utd v Tottenham (spurs 0)

Liverpool v Chelsea (liverpool 1)

Man City v Aston Villa (city 3)

Tottenham v Bolton (spurs 3)

Man City v Tottenham (city 1 spurs 1)

Burnley v Tottenham (spurs 3)

Hull v Liverpool (liverpool 3)

West Ham v Man City (city 3)


totals:


city: 14

liverpool: 14

spurs: 12


final table


4th: spurs 70 points (current goal difference +28)

5th: city 70 points (current goal difference +19)

6th liverpool 68 points (current goal difference +21)

Far be it for me to question Fergie's nouse in the transfer market, but Tevez is an excellent striker. I agree that they are doing ok without him and Ronaldo. But he would definitely give them that extra edge going into the end-game of the season where every little bit extra counts. Having a player like him could be the difference between winning a cup final and losing one.
To be fair to Berbatov he has stepped into the breach and aquitted himself very well recently especially considering he has been carrying a persistant ankle injury and has often been played out of position to accomodate Rooney playing as the loan striker. Berbatov's last couple of performances playing up front on his own in place of the injured Rooney have been nothing short of superb. I think most Man Utd fans are split down the middle in their opinion of him but I think he deserves some credit.

He reminds me of Le Tissier. Not the quickest or the hardest worker but a deft touch, skills, great vision and can score goals.


Le Tissier would have had a national team built around him if he was from continental Europe. For once the English got a player of skill and craft. And the man was barely picked. Disgrace.

Berbatov reminds me more of Frank Worthington. Another misunderstood maverick who never got the credit he deserved. I still remember a goal he scored for Bolton as one of the best I've ever seen. He chipped it over an onrushing defence who were trying to play an offside trap and then ran onto meet the ball as it dropped behind defence.

You've got Don Revie to thank for that. But Ramsey played his part too. I find it hard to believe that someone like Alan Hudson only got two England caps.

Apart from it being a brilliant goal, what you notice is how the ball bounces higher and is much harder to control than it is now. No grass on the pitch hard surface, harder ball.. amazing Frank managed to get the ball under control.

    • Most churches rent out halls for children's' parties but rarely adult parties, Christ Church only does afternoon parties,   The East Dulwich Community centre hires out halls to 9 pm only and all music needs to be on a sound restrictor as is in a residential area. St Johns with St Clements have a small hall but not sure if they allow adult parties. Nunhead Green has a newish community centre with a couple of different size halls. Most places seem to charge around £40 ph  with a deposit of £100/200 (returned if no damage or excess cleaning needed.
    • Hello, Recently there have been various comments made on the forum which have resulted in heated discussions being had. I for one, hold up my hand and wanted to personally thank whoever is keeping the forum going.. remember when it was likely to close. We are all adults and should known when it is right to continue or just ignore or if really feel it necessary comment via pm. I have had a long relationship with the forum and have bought, sold, offered advice and in deed made friends on the forum over the years. It is a public forum after all and everyone is entitled to express their opinion and is also free. I am not as tech minded as most but with the season of good will approaching and-knowing in this economic climate how many people are  struggling, I  thought it would be a lovely idea, to perhaps set up a just giving page to raise funds for a local charity who might appreciate a contribution towards their Christmas festivities… On a practical side, might just be to complicated to administer as I am sure all have charities that we support so my other thought was not me, as I am useless but to set up a just giving page and whatever monies are raised, perhaps contribute to the festivities that use to be run by local shops or whatever.. Maybe even use a local church hall and just make it special for perhaps folk that find it difficult to access events or no access for say wheel chair users.. guess really, one is looking for guidance from the church and of course volunteers. Shoot me down if you must or feel the need but this is my view and no, sadly I won’t be around in the months before Christmas but can help remotely.
