Just watched the England game and you have to say that was pretty good. Life's so much easier when Lampard's injured and we don't try to bodge them in at the same time.

Dawson still looked a bit iffy until he got injured I thought, Jagielka did OK, Hart looks like he's always been there. 'Arry can't be happy though as that looks like a bad injury.


And as a City fan I delighted we had four young ish players on the pitch.

Yup, thought we looked pretty good last night. God performances from Rooney and Gerrard. Hart looks the business between the sticks and a cracking hat-trick from Jermain Defoe. I think we can forget about the likes of Terry, Lampard and Ferdinand. Gutted for Michael Dawson though. Looks like he could be out for quite some time.

It's not often I agree with ITV commentators but I thought he hit it on the head when he pointed out that the players were all playing in essentially their club positions, and what a difference it makes.


Who've Spurs got as their centre half pairing now? Gallas might turn out to be a good signing eh?

Hmmmm.... though as pleased as punch that I am with the performances of quite a few players in the last couple of England games I am bloody pissed off that Jermain Defoe and Michael Dawson have now been ruled out for the next eight weeks missing important games in the Champions League and Premiership plus the Carling Cup match against Arsenal. Grrr!

I think John Terry and Frank Lampard could struggle to get back into the starting XI. I think Lampard will only get back in if Gerrard is unfit as he can do the same job. I was very impressed with Adam Johnson who has proved he is a class player who will be able to fill in on either flank. Terry must be sweating on his place with two very good performances from Jagielka.

John Terry's affair affected another squad member and he lost the captaincy but not his place in the team. What did you think should have happened to Rooney?

I did some research and in 60-61 there were 5 B's in the first division. In those days they played 42 games, Spurs won the league scoring only 50 goals in the process and they were top scorers. Sheff W were second and they only scored only 33 goals. Must have been boring then!

    • He seemed to me to be fully immersed in the Jeremy Corbyn ethos of the Labour Party. I dint think that (and self describing as a Marxist) would have helped much when Labour was changed under Starmer. There was a purge of people as far left as him that he was lucky to survive once in my opinion.   Stuff like this heavy endorsement of Momentum and Corbyn. It doesn't wash with a party that is in actual government.   https://labourlist.org/2020/04/forward-momentum-weve-launched-to-change-it-from-the-bottom-up/
    • I perceive the problem.simply as spending too much without first shoring up the economy.  If the government had reduced borrowing,  and as much as most hate the idea, reduced government deiartment spending (so called austerity) and not bowed to union pressures for pay rises, then encouraged businesses to grow, extra cash would have entered the coffers and at a later stage when the economy was in a stronger position rises in NI or taxes would have a lesser impact, but instead Reeves turned that on its head by increasing ni which has killed growth, increased prices and shimmied the economy.  What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???     
    • That petition is bananas.   If you want a youth centre there pay the landlord the same rent a Londis would and build it yourself or shut the f**k up to be honest. Wasting our MPs time with this trivial nonsense is appalling. If your kids are still out at 1am on a school night you've got bigger problems than vapes and booze and hot sausage rolls.
