Ronaldo has 51 goals in 54 appearances for Real, think that's pretty good going myself.

I think a few of the Barca players had a bob or two on that 5-0 score line as there were times that a simple ball through the Real defence would have had them one on one. It was SO easy for Barca it seemed like they were deciding when to score!!!

As EC said, quite possibly the best game of football I've ever seen.

I'm a Madrile?o but I can't stand Real, so not a Madridista by any stretch, never have been able to. Much prefer looking out for Atl?tico.

That said as a Madrile?o there's still civic pride at stake so am a little chagrined.


It was annasfields dismissive 'or whatever...' that cracked me up, can't see many Catalans feeling flattered by good wishes like that ;-P

As I dont speak castellano, yes the irony would be lost on me. :'(

It wasn't hilarious in all fairness, it just made me chuckle and irked me in equal measures, in that supercilliously xenophobic manner that the English can do so very well.


anna's comment came across very "..or whatever they do in fuzzywuzzy land", so I thought I'd poke fun.

Just ignore me, I'll go off and get a life now....


For the record it was Greek, in an attempt to reflect the levels of love lost between Madrid and Barcelona.

I was going to do France and Germany but 'allez les bleus' in german is 'go blue' apparently, and didn't really work.

I hope you're right cos I'm off to the home of football tonight, and paid the princely sum of ?10 for my lower tier ticket.

Wherever our home ground is and three moves in a hundred years or so ain't bad, especially when we need to accomodate the number of fans that come week in week out. And yes it does travel with us. It wouldn't be Liverpool, Tottenham, Chelsea or Man U now would it? And it certainly would be over the border in Scotland!

      Nasty kids in Peckham Park

      By MCK100 · Posted

      It happened again tonight. This time a group of kids ( I hate saying that, because it makes them sound less intimidating than they are), threatened to throw a water bomb at me. When I dared them, they started lobbing them. Then they started saying they were going to kill my dog and one of them jumped over the fence of the Japanese Garden and took a running kick at my dog, who got out of the way. He jumped back over the fence, then came back, came within a meter of me and threw a water bomb really hard at me.  I can't be sure it was exactly the same crowd as last time, though I suspect the male ring leader could be.  The police came and were amazing - as was the park warden - and are fairly confident of the identity of one of them and think they may have tried to arrest him before.  There were maybe as many as 15 of them, aged 16-18, all Caucasian, girls and boys (girls being just as aggressive as the boys). The ring leader is a slight man, dark hair / eyes, possibly with facial hair about 5'6", petite, wearing an all-blue tracksuit.  So please be careful when you're in the park around 6.30 / 7pm. The local SNT have been informed.

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      But I don't think that was what you meant, was it? But he can hardly be held responsible for what somebody else did!

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      But it was under our electoral system in 2019! This must be part of the right-wing media conspiracy that did for Corbyn....;-) Corbyn was very closely allied to Unite and Len....
