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!

      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
