If Jamie Redknapp, Phil Thompson, Chris Kamara, Mark Lawrenson, Garth Crooks, Sam Allardyce, Teddy Sherringham, Les Ferdinand, Ian Dowie, to name but a few can can have a go at it, then I don't see why he can't.


Anyway on to more serious subjects. I see Rafael has been charged by the FA and quite right to. But what about Rooney?? Surely his foul mouthed in your face rant at the ref also should be looked at. In my view that could have easily been deemed a red. Apparently Fergie was speechless over the red for Rafael. Oh yeah? The Red for Gerrard didn't stop him putting his tuppence worth in did it. Good old Fergie.

Taken from the BBC website;


French left-back Patrice Evra thinks the whole nation was against unbeaten league leaders Manchester United as they fought out a goalless draw with Spurs on Sunday. "All the country was against Manchester United," he said. "Everybody wanted us to lose."


I wonder why that is? Perhaps they should adopt the Millwall mantra, "no one likes us, we don't care". Poor sensitive soul. Bless.

I'm hoping for a rousing chorus of "you don't know what you're doing" aimed at the directors this weekend. I also think no-one would blame Avram Grant for just walking out leaving them looking really stupid.


I've always said that I'm not sure if Grant was the right man for the job but I'm firmly on his side now.


In other news I heard on the radio Darren Bent and ?24 million in the same sentence, obviously I was hallucinating.

I'd heard ?18m, which still seems a lot.


That said, I read yesterday that he's only behind Drogba & Rooney for league goals in the last 5 years or something like that. Even though the fans never took to him at Spurs, he was still their top scorer for at least one season.

No unfortunately its true. Its like a waking nightmare isn't it? Makes you wonder what what players like Scott Parker must be worth to West Ham.

35 goals in 80 games in La Liga and 49 goals in 121 games in total.


Plus he won:


La Liga x 2

Copa del Rey

Supacopa de Espana

Champions League

UEFA Super Cup

World Club Cup

Well that's told me hasn't it. Thanks for putting me in my place David. He's currently without a club and back training at Arsenal. I suspect he'll be off to the States for a last payday and good luck to him. He was a top player who's only real glitch was the handballing that got France qualified for the last World Cup.

And that doesn't include Prem title x 2, FA cup Winner 3 time(I think), part of the unbeaten team, World Cup winner, Eurorpean Champions with France. Overall a poor return for a players career eh? If Bent came to within 25%, you'd say he was a brilliant player.


But I say again, if he's worth 24m, what are the likes of Barcas Messi, Iniesta, Xavi, the Arsenals Nasri, Cesc, RVP, Citehs Tevez, Silva, Johnson, Liverpools Torres, Spurs Bale worth in comparision to Bent?? I'd like to know what medication the bloke who valued him is on.

And eveyone will run around screaming that there are too many foriegn players in our leagues. This is one of the reasons why.

LOL - A couple of years ago I told some bloke called Atila that Henry had not been a success at Barca...boy did that go down well. The abuse only lasted a couple of pages. That guy, what was he like...

    • A bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie
    • No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.
    • I would also like to add my recommendation for James.  I had taken four names of electricians from the forum - in the order I had read the reviews.  First three no response - even days later. I phoned James this morning. He answered, gave me a time, stuck to it, messaged again 15 mins before arrival.  He fixed my problem on the spot.  Sensible charge out fee. Perfect service.  
    • Most recent polls for the next election suggest it will be a hung parliament, with Reform the largest party by a fair margin. But that is predicated on Reform finding around 300 candidates who are actually electable. Given the number of Reform council candidates who have had to drop out prior to or after the local elections, does that seem likely? Social media is pretty unforgiving when it comes to finding skeletons in cupboards; a retweet or a like seems enough to scupper political ambitions. A few may defect from other parties, but do you think the electorate would really vote for so many brand new MPs from a newish party?  I'm not so sure.
