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..."

      New Empanada Place on LL

      By beansprout · Posted

      Totally agree regarding not supporting chains. Gail’s was fine but last time I went in Feb this year, actually walked out Fayetteville looking at menu and waiting 15 minutes to even get glass of water and not busy at all. Staff gone down hill - sooner it goes the better… Always prefer to support non chains - so many lovely places with good food to choose from with pleasant staff who know about customer service and sadly, non English which says a lot for our culture, pubs are also becoming abit of a hit and miss affair but maybe just unlucky. At the end of the day all about the chef. Still abit unclear where new place is located - is it down the road from Goose Green where parade of shops are before Peckham Rye?

      Surely only where the local businesses offer clear advantages, otherwise you are rewarding what should be failure. I want to be served by a better bakery than Gail's, not a worse but local independent one. Certainly give a local independent some time to get the offer right, but don't buy goods which are worse and or more expensive just because the outlet isn't a chain.

      Let’s just boycott all chains in favour of local businesses.  Places like Gail’s popping up everywhere has a very damaging impact on small businesses. It’s just the same as the new empanadas place but on a bigger scale. I’ll say it a million times more, we hold the power with our choices. Let’s use our power to look after ourselves and our environment (which includes small local family businesses). And yes, I also love Chacarero.
