I see paddy was one of the players who had to pull them apart. Oh dear, can only be good for us, that and the fact that Silva, and Balotelli are both injured and won't take part in the game.

Charlton have just got new owners which presumably has influenced things. Denis Wise tipped to take over.


Palace after a new manager of course as well, can't say I enjoyed the trip to Millwall on Saturday, (always a lovely bunch down there)the players didn't show much fighting spirit in support of Burley. Beat Preston yesterday in a very poor game with Steffen Iverson getting the winner and man of the match on his debut.


Not sure who I want as Palace manager. If we were in a better position would like to see Sean O'Driscoll or Eddie Howe but will settle for Sir Steve until the end of the season.

I used to go to Charlton a lot, and they're my second team. It's all gone very wrong. They dropped out of the prem in the worst possible year, and lost out on the big parachute payments. As a result, things went from bad to worse. Can't see them being anywhere near the prem again for a long time. The Valley is a lovely ground to watch a bit of football.

I also used to go there a lot, and it is a nice place to go. I thought they'd turned the corner after they redeveloped the ground and got into the Prem, very sad to see whats happened to them.

From the minute by minute on the Guardian last night, Fulham vs West Brom, even has a local relevance although I nearly put it in the aspirational supermarket thread.


"Fulham corner. Hangeland rises well in the middle and is basically punched in the face by Carson, who misses the ball and instead clumps his huge Norwegian head. This is apparently fine though. Back down the other end West Brom carve out a glorious chance for Brunt between Dorrans and Odemwingie but mysteriously he fails to get a shot in and it's cleared. Dennis Johns is bringing down the system from the inside: "This is the most middle class thing I've ever heard anyone say: I was in Stoke Newington the other day (I wish it had been East Dulwich, but that would have been too perfect) and I heard a young lad of about 5 or 6 say to his mum, "Mummy what are baked beans?" She pondered for a moment and replied, "Well, they're a bit like gnocchi." And he accepted that."

Sorry Jah, and Keef, but why is there this amazing faith being put in Roy Hodgson? I really don't understand it.

He has experience of big clubs (Inter Milan for one) has been an international manager, won trophies and league titles around Europe (OK Switzerland) and took a small club (Fulham) to their highest ever position in the their history (First Division/Premiership) and got them to a final of a major European trophy beating top teams like Juventus along the way. Anything else Mac while you're at it? Or are you still peeved that your beloved Martin O'Neill didn't get the job?

      Tate Modern eateries suggestions

      By PeckhamNicola · Posted

      Meson Don Felipe on The Cut was my go to place for many years. Though it's now many years since I was there. 10-15 minute walk from the Tate. If you go can you tell me what it's like nowadays?

      Car dilemma - do you manage without one?

      By beansprout · Posted

      Doubt you would have got much change out of £150.00 for battery and certainly having forked out for it, best to use your car. I recently sold  my car via webuyanycar.com - very pleasant experience & was roughly what I was expecting. Pop your bangers reg jnto their website to get an idea of price - they do send e mails once a fortnight/month just as an aid for you. Easy enough to delete - don’t even have to read valuation. They literally buy any car - if you can’t get it to them, they will charge you to get it there or recommend a co that will do it for you. Must say, mine was a 2014 reg and whilst a bit suspicious, paid extra to get money into my account as needed it for next car but was assured funds had I not gone down route I took would be in my account within 5 days. I now live in the country - every time I have been back to Dulwich and surrounding area, normally get a fine for driving at wrong time or parking at  wrong time so if I drive now, park in West or East Dulwich and do everything else by public transport and walking.  Were I still to be living in ED then before I left was pondering this very issue but since I have been back regularly for health reason I no longer drive but take the train and then buses, walk or Uber. Much cheaper than running a car and had I stayed, that would have been the course I would have taken. I don’t go out everyday, have an allotment or job to go to or family so in my case, would be cheaper not to have a car.  Was truely shocked   at the cost of second hand cars…..but where I now live only has a smattering of buses so no choice but to have wheels to get from A to B etc.

      If you don't use the car often then suggest disconnect the battery between use by undoing the earth (negative / minus sign) cable from the battery and the battery will then last longer between use. Remember, central locking, alarm, clock, etc won't work with battery disconnected and wit ours I have to lock the doors with central locking before disconnecting battery as only have key on one door (leave bonnet open before locking doors). Hope this helps
