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.

      What's that smell on Townley Road?

      By Spartacus · Posted

      Is it the smell of council officers pooping themselves over the two recent court defeats at Lambeth and what it could mean for Southwark?  🤣

      Recommended roofer (Danny)

      By bonzo · Posted

      Needed a new rear roof for terrace house in East Dulwich and heard about Danny Denton (07943 673482). Have worked with over 20 builders in the past but this guy was way the best - polite, hard working, honest, professional, informative, highly skilled and above all quoted lower than any of the others who came down to view the job. If you need roofing work I would definitely give him a call. If he's busy working else where I assure you he is well worth waiting for. He got the scaffold up and job finished in no time and kept me informed at every stage. Another roofer (who appears on this forum) gave a quote which was three times higher than Danny's.

      I noticed that today too, at that corner of the Alleyn's field. Isn't it just the same as the habitual one from the school field in Greendale, just after the rail bridge?  I've never quite fixed on how and exactly where that one's coming from, but have mentally tagged it as cut grass probably fermenting.
