Blame Ofcom, they forced Sky into a corner.


City looked like total strangers in the first half, massive improvement in the second though, after they've had a bit of time together we could be looking good. And Joe Hart did OK....

Me too. The music also seemed to be the original version which took me back to my very early MOTD viewing. I was allowed to stay up late to watch it on a Saturday but only after having gone to bed at the same time as my younger brother and then get up once he had fallen asleep (stuffing pillows under the blankets to make it look like I was still there if he woke up). I've no idea why this was necessary!


For older viewers what about that Wolves goal. It reminded me of Ernie Hunt scoring for Coventry against Everton I think. I think it was called the 'donkey kick' which was subsequently outlawed from the game. Was it Willie Carr who set him up?


PS Revenge for the stuffed pillows under the blankets did follow when I was found out. I went to bed one night only to see what looked like stuffed pillows under my blankets. Pulling them back I found our beloved flea ridden collie/sheepdog Spot looking at me. I swear he could smile.

I was pleased with the pool yesterday, and they were unlucky to conceed a horrible goal, but I'd be more concerned if I was an Arsenal supporter. The Arsenal fans in the CPT were not a happy bunch. Liverpool controlled most of the second half, with 10 men.


Real shame for Cole, who is not a dirty player, but that was a red, no doubt. It wasn't malicious, but it was a shocking challenge. Hopefully he'll come back strong.


Anyway, I take heart form that performance (which basically should have been a win), and quite like the fact everyone has totally written the pool off. Now the reds can just get on with it, and see how the season works out. Spurs and City have a lot more pressure on them right now.

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      By Blah Blah · Posted

      Morally they should, but we don't actually vote for parties in our electoral system. We vote for a parliamentary (or council) representative. That candidates group together under party unbrellas is irrelevant. We have a 'representative' democracy, not a party political one (if that makes sense). That's where I am on things at the moment. Reform are knocking on the door of the BNP, and using wedge issues to bait emotional rage. The Greens are knocking on the door of the hard left, sweeping up the Corbynista idealists. But it's worth saying that both are only ascending because of the failures of the two main parties and the successive governments they have led. Large parts of the country have been left in economic decline for decades, while city fat cats became uber wealthy. Young people have been screwed over by student loans. Housing is 40 years of commoditisation, removing affordabilty beyond the reach of too many. Decently paid, secure jobs, seem to be a thing of the past. Which of the main parties can people turn to, to fix any of these things, when the main parties are the reason for the mess that has been allowed to evolve? Reform certainly aren't the answer to those things. The Greens may aspire to do something meaningful about some of them, but where will they find the money to pay for it? None of it's easy.

      Yes, but the context is important and the reason.

      That messes up Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland - democracy being based on citizenship not literacy. There's intentionally no one language that campaign materials have to be in.

      TBH if people don't see what is sectarian in the materials linked to above when they read about them, then I don't think me going on about it will help. They speak for themselves.  I don't know how the Greens can justify promising to be a strong voice for one particular religion. Will that pledge hold when it comes to campaigning in East Dulwich (which is majority atheist)? https://censusdata.uk/e02000836-east-dulwich/ts030-religion
