Technically I have to agree with blue revolution, though I think there is an element of sour grapes on his part. I have and still play a lot of football ( at a high level) and Nani's goal was very good. His first touch in controlling a difficult ball from Giggs was superb as he brought it down and got it out of his feet in one movement and retained his composure to score. Rooney's was brilliant but instinctive. He himself admitted that 9 times out of 10 they go over the bar and it did hit his shin. Google Klaus Fisher the ex west german striker, or Hugo Sanchez to see a bicycle kick executed to perfection on a regular and consistent basis.

Not really sour grapes, we lost a cracking game- we didn't net our chances- Silva 4th minute for example. I wouldn't have said Nanis goal was better if I thought otherwise. Rooney has openly admitted it was a hell of a chance to actually net it. Apart from that one instance, Kompany had the better of Rooney. I don't doubt that Shreks ( come on, had to say it at some point ;) ) will go down as goal of the season but it's the only decent contribution he made and gets man of the bloody match for it ??

All I can say to Sandperson et al, enjoy whilst it lasts- cos the noisy neighbours are getting louder. CTID

They now play the winners of United v Newcastle (conquerers of Dulwich Hamlet).

Yeah you're right. Rooney 5 goals, 15 assists. Tevez 18 goals, 5 assists- Fergie, fergie sign him up sign him up ! Nice one Spuds tonight

SP Aris are an unknown team but they are fully outfitted with international players including the Greek No1 GK, we took a full squad cos we knew they would be difficult at home. SAF would have put a week side out and probably got beaten for arrogance

Definitely not. PC bollocks innit. Come on it's just a bit of humour and he's apologised. And what's more Hoddle should never have been sacked as England manager.

Tottenham were bloody marvellous last night. To win at the San Siro with half a dozen players out is a fantastic achievement and Gattuso is an arse. Flamini should have been sent off too. But that's the sort of refereeing decisions you get in Italy. You must be gutted Atila. COYS!

We've never been a team to rely on one goalscorer BR. Berba is top goalscorer so far this season so it matters little that Rooney isn't scoring, what matters is that he's helping to make goals which I regard as coming into form. 15 assists means he's helped score 15 goals. That's pretty good in anyone's book.


P.S. Would wouldn't have been beaten by the best of Greece.

I disagree Jah. He deserved to be sacked irrespective of his abilities as manager. The minute I heard what he had said I knew he would be sacked promptly.


I can't now recall what he said exactly - but the gist of it was suggesting that disabled people were paying for the sins of a past life.


People with disabilities and their families have enough to bear without Hoddle making statements like that, trying to attach blame for their disability.


I'm not bothered about his current gaff. But as regards the one that got him sacked, the sacking was justified.

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      By Sue · Posted

      I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.

      Nasty kids in Peckham Park

      By MCK100 · Posted

      @NewWave I know how you feel. Like you, I've lived and spent prolonged periods of time in some pretty crazy places and always thought I could handle a bunch of kids. But, no - they got to me and I was shaking like a leaf afterwards. That's what age does to us.  But I did engage with them, so bear that in mind.  My advice would be to never let anything like that stop you doing the things you love. I'm certainly not going to stop using the park, there's no way they get to take away our cherished spaces!  If you see them, just change tack and keep out of their way. My dog won't even go that way again, so that's that problem solved. (If I see them again, I'm going to keep taking photos from a safe distance).

      Truly horrific. Being passive or fighting back is what many of us think about by violent theft.
