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.

      New Empanada Place on LL

      By beansprout · Posted

      Totally agree regarding not supporting chains. Gail’s was fine but last time I went in Feb this year, actually walked out Fayetteville looking at menu and waiting 15 minutes to even get glass of water and not busy at all. Staff gone down hill - sooner it goes the better… Always prefer to support non chains - so many lovely places with good food to choose from with pleasant staff who know about customer service and sadly, non English which says a lot for our culture, pubs are also becoming abit of a hit and miss affair but maybe just unlucky. At the end of the day all about the chef. Still abit unclear where new place is located - is it down the road from Goose Green where parade of shops are before Peckham Rye?

      Surely only where the local businesses offer clear advantages, otherwise you are rewarding what should be failure. I want to be served by a better bakery than Gail's, not a worse but local independent one. Certainly give a local independent some time to get the offer right, but don't buy goods which are worse and or more expensive just because the outlet isn't a chain.

      Let’s just boycott all chains in favour of local businesses.  Places like Gail’s popping up everywhere has a very damaging impact on small businesses. It’s just the same as the new empanadas place but on a bigger scale. I’ll say it a million times more, we hold the power with our choices. Let’s use our power to look after ourselves and our environment (which includes small local family businesses). And yes, I also love Chacarero.
