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..."

    • And now we have the worst labour government in many many decades who by moving to your position on the right are ushering in a far right reform government. Well done you.
    • You implied he did a good job in your first paragraph when you said you would have hated to see Corbyn lead the country through Covid - the alternative being Johnson, presumably? With the results we all saw. Unite - you have a problem with unions? Who work hard to see that their members get a fair deal in their workplace? How exactly are these people and groups "all as bad as each other"? In what way? Labour "purging their party of the far-left" has given us a weak prime minister who has apparently deserted any "left" (aka caring for other people and having decent moral principles) leanings he ever had. Which is why people appear to be leaving Labour in droves and voting, or intending to vote, Green or Lib Dem or for an independent Left candidate. Starmer has shot himself in the foot, in my opinion. But what would I know. What worked?! I don't know enough about what you are talking about to comment, but "believing" you know the reason someone did something does not make it true. I don't believe that Corbyn ever got "starstruck" or "forgot about his politics", but if you can provide evidence that those things are true, then fair enough. I don't think you can, though.
    • I think you need to get a grip If it's who I am thinking of, she's a young black girl in her twenties, has braids with bright colours through them and - I suspect - works with her father. It's always the same man behind the wheel and he's older than her, always in the same van, so I'm assuming it's a father-daughter combo which, if it is, I think is rather sweet.  They hustle hard in a job that is poorly paid, has little prospects, is relentless and thankless. The fact that they have stuck it out since the pandemic says a lot about them.  I think she's a lovely girl, who's perhaps a little shy - but she'll smile or chat back if you make the effort with her. And I admire her for sticking with that job for so long. Perhaps she's just one of these people who's naturally a bit clumsy or bashes things, the same way some people are heavy on their feet when they walk. But I wouldn't dream of jeopardising her job because she closes the slams the gate and doesn't 'kiss' the ring doorbell with her fingers.  Perhaps she's being passive aggressive because you are. And perhaps she also wishes she got to spend her time worrying about potential damage to her letterbox or her gate.  As for your gate / letterbox - you're talking about hypotheticals. Has there been any damage? No. Then go and live your life and worry about it when it happens.  (apols we have the wrong person, but some of my points still stand). 
    • Greg did an amazing job! He built a cabinet in my living room and added shelving. A lovely guy and perfectionist who goes the extra mile. He really understands what you want and comes up with various options to meet your price range. Would highly recommend!
