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!

      Help Needed Dealing With Foxtons - Living a nightmare for the past year

      I would ask a solicitor. You may be able to claim compensation. You can speak to Lease free for 15 minutes ( very worthwhile), and a no win no fee Sol.

      Help Needed Dealing With Foxtons - Living a nightmare for the past year

      By Sue · Posted

      I am no expert by any means, but I wonder first if Foxtons belong to any kind of professional (I use the term loosely) body you could complain to, and second, if you have any grounds to take them to the small claims court. I am surprised and sorry that none of the people you have asked for help could actually help. To be fair, though, re the oven, they have offered to reimburse you for an air fryer, it is the weekend so probably difficult to get someone out to look at it,  and they seem to be addressing that problem at least pretty promptly? Do you have a grill and hob and kettle working OK? Also, is it not the owner's responsibility to address issues such as the mould and the bath?  Shouldn't Foxtons be liaising with them about this?  Oh, and this is not intended to be a joke - try asking ChatGPT (or similar) what you can do. It saves hours of googling  stuff online yourself.

      Agreed! I have been happy with them for the last 20 years.

      Help Needed Dealing With Foxtons - Living a nightmare for the past year

      By hamlet_fan · Posted

      Hi,   I'm posting here because I am completely at a loss for how to deal with this anymore.   Is this standard for dealing with a letting agency? I'm new to living in the UK and I've been treated abhorrently by this agency from day one.  I've reached out to every organisation I can - the council, Shelter, trying to get to the property ombudsman, and the citizens advice bureau. My oven broke last night (Friday) and their solution until someone arrives (Monday) to even inspect the problem, is to buy an air fryer.    This is part of a long list of issues, including my bathtub joist that's rotted out and has broke so my bathtub is now falling into the floor, and has been that way waiting for repair for the last month. Our flat is extremely cold in the winter (due to failing the EPC) and the rising damp throughout the flat has not been addressed even though we've been reporting it consistently for the past year. All they do is send someone to install a dehumidifier for a week. Every time I need assistance from these people I have to wait on hold each step of the way, my property manager is out of office or they're on another line or I can't speak to them, if I begin an issue with one person at the organisation I get redirected to a new person (and that initial person is now unavailable), or they wait a week to call me back. It is truly unbelievable the amount of stuff I've had to live with under Foxtons. They wouldn't allow me to move into our property on the first day stated in the lease I signed (after I paid depot and first month) because they didn't do the work to make the property pass the EPC which they had multiple weeks to address. During those multiple weeks I would call them everyday asking for status updates. When the move in day arrived all they could say to me was 'we can't help you'. They didn't even do any work to resolve it in the long run, they just got a new inspector to give the flat a pass. This company has made my life hell for the past year and unfortunately I am stuck in the lease for now due to their shady letting agent practices.   If anyone can please provide me some tangible assistance that would be greatly appreciated. Reaching out to any of these agencies has not brought me any closer to a resolution and my partner and I are beyond our wits end dealing with property issues. I thought a letting agency was held to a higher standard than a private landlord and was supposed to make life easier for a tenant but it appears to be exactly the opposite.   I've attached some mold images so you can see what my flat looks like if I don't run a dehumidifier 24/7.
