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.

Copa del Rey

Supacopa de Espana

Champions League

UEFA Super 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...

      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
