Hush, ruffers, Mr Terry is a bit of an idol in this household at the mo.


Monday evening my daughter played at Stamford bridge in the Community Challenge Cup. Her friend had an injury so daughter accompanied her to medical room. John Terry popped in to see if she was ok and chatted to the girls. Rather impressive considering Chelsea's victory the day before - bet he was nursing a hangover.

It probably was in England at that time Mick, it was a whole day event for the family...the build-up to the game started in the morning with special cup final editions of programmes, I definitely remember 'It's a Knockout' with opposing fans as the teams, and I'm sure they did a special QofS too...as a kid it was great!*

England might play 3-5-2 at the World Cup? I'm assuming this is a bored journalist making stuff up rather than Capello not being the systematic organised person we were sold. You never know, 3-5-2 might be best for our players but it seems a tad late to start messing..

I know RD - I was alive then too, but the shown live round the world bit, was a load of roobish, unless you mean in English pubs around the world, I guess.

Ouch my head! Good day out. Too much beer. Kidnapped a Chelsea fan at Maida Vale last night. Cannot remember now where we locked him up. Ooops! Some old Pompey hoolies kicked off at Baker St, dogs and helicopters there! Shameful tbh.


Shame about the score. Funniest part of the day was fat coont lampard missing his penalty.


That's it now. Pompey and my swansong. It was good fun but now it is time to go back to the championship. That'll be the last Wembley day out.


Oh, and apparently, Kenwyne Jones sells watches on the beach!

Cribbed this from The Sunday Times website - thoughts on how your club fared this season, I'll start...


Your season out of five: 3.5, but for Wazza's injury things might have been very different.


Player of the season: Wazza by a country mile.


Worst player: Berbaflop...Carrick had a very poor end of season too. Jah, can we return these damaged goods back to the Lane and exchange them for Modric and Bale? ;-)


Best moment: MO's late late late winner against Citeh and the resulting pandemonium, just inches out Paul Scholes late late winner against Citeh at the Council House and the resulting pandemonium, and Wazza's late winner against Citeh in the Carling Cupp semi and the resulting pandemonium.


Worst moment: The week we lost to Chelski and Bayern.


Most annoying opponent: Malcolm Glazer...LUHG

Your season out of five: -1


Player of the season: Pepe Reina who week in week out shows Jamie Carragher how to pass the ball not 15 yards but 60/70 yards onto the foot of the striker


Worst player: Difficult.. but relative to usual standards Gerrard has been a pale shadown of his former self.


Best moment: Beating Everton at Goodison.


Worst moment: The second half capitulation to a struggling Arsenal at Anfield which for me was definately game up for Rafa.. and off the field the death of ex-player Besian Idrizaj at age of 22


Most annoying opponent: Steve Bruce.. for having a brown tongue from you know who

Your season out of five: 4


Player of the season: Barry Ferguson ? probably justified the ludicrous ?1.2m we spent on him. Joe Hart came close pulling off tremendous saves all season ? a far better player now than when he came to us.


Worst player: Seb Larsson was disappointing for a large part of the season.


Best moment: Our unbeaten run ? the attitude and spirit shown by the whole team. Or if I have to pick one moment, Cameron Jerome surprising Reina from 35 yards (and himself, his team mates and Blues fans everywhere).


Worst moment: Losing at Pompey in the FA Cup QF ? didn?t show up that day.


Most annoying opponent: Beside for the V*le. Referees and linesmen ? some very poor decisions, penalties at Anfield and V*le Park, goals not given at home to Chelsea and in the cup at Fratton.

This could be under Things That Have Made Me Laugh; Mourinho on the Inter Barcelona second leg -


"People like to go on about the second game against Barcelona (at Camp Nou) and they like to say that we parked the bus in front of the Barcelona attack but that's not true, we parked a plane in front of Barcelona..."

    • Callout for help from any local experts here. Looking to find out more about the history of the property on the corner of Whateley Road and Ulverscroft road (with the green glazed bricks). Now a residential property, i'm told it was a bottle shop in days gone (the house was built around 1900) by and i'd like to learn more about the history of the business that was once here - name, photos, anything at all really! Seems to be very little from open source research so i'm hoping anyone with history in the area can provide any insight!  Starting here before i contact Southwark Archives or similar orgs to get any information and pictures (any advice here also would be welcome). Thank you
    • Portable ramps are available for businesses to use in this sort of situation, aren't they? I don't know whether one would be suitable for use here, or whether they have the space to store one. Lots of people have  permanent or temporary disabilities which mean they have to use crutches or a wheelchair.
    • I can’t remember where I read that figure but this article in the Grauniad from 2023 discusses Ocado results from 2022. The average shopping cart fell to £118 from £129 the previous year. But Ocado lost £500m that year on approximately 20 million orders (circa 400k orders per week). So, averaging out to £25 lost per order. Ocado pauses building new warehouses as annual losses balloon to £500m | Ocado | The Guardian  Obviously, the £500m loss includes various factors. But Ocado has existed for 25 years and only made a small profit in a couple of those years. The rest have been huge losses. Yet it continues to raise funds and speculation sends the share price up and down. In that respect,  it’s like the UK version of Tesla. Meanwhile, the main growth in the supermarket sector has been for Aldi and Lidl, who do not deliver.
