I don't think crowds will be hostile, they'll take the piss mercilessly but there will be no hostility towards him.


The super-injunction was a massive own goal for him. If he'd held off I reckon the press would have sat on the story the same way they did a number of stories about Gary Linekar. He'd just about worked his way into national treasure status then went and slapped a gagging order on the press, something they don't take kindly to.

Whoops.


In fairness to him it was probably on advice from a lawyer seeing pound signs a-flashing.

Don't be ridiculous. He is world class. He may have only scored four times last season but he did pick up a niggly injury halfway through the season and missed a a few games but other than that he was brilliant and at times the best player on the pitch in most of the matches I saw him play. I'll be absolutely gutted if he leaves Spurs.

I'm a Spurs fan too, and love him. But he's not world class....yet. A move to Man Utd may be what he needs to achieve that level to be honest. That title is bandied about willy nilly to too many good players. He needs to produce regularly on the international and Champions league stage to qualify for it.

Very few players are truly world class.

As a Spurs fan I'm bloody glad that didn't happen. Any stadia that has a running track around it will not be a great theatre or create a great atmosphere for football and unless West Ham gain immediate promotion back to the Premiership they'll be playing in a white elephant of an empty stadium.

Sadly I have to agree. Pictures of the stadium make it look as though watching a game there will be like watching Orient... from Upton Park.


Temporary seating etc. could make a difference but is it REALLY (Matty Etherington's return apart) going to look like this?

ETA: now Your Arsenal is closed can we expect an influx of chatty and disenfranchised Gooners on the EDF?

      The Mansion Tax

      By Jenijenjen · Posted

      Scaremongering - there is very little vacant land in East Dulwich available as sites for building 9 storey buildings so this is rather hypothetical. It could even be said the occasional taller, modern building breaks up the monotony of Victorian terraced housing.

      The Mansion Tax

      This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!

      Excellent Christmas meal at Franklins!

      I checked - the Hanway Street place was Mandeer - it moved to New Oxford Street I think and was replaced by Hakkasan - very different prices.

      How late is your Christmas Card

      By Cancerian · Posted

      Suppose it depends on how many Christmas cards from family and friends you’re waiting to receive. It’s been the Christmas period so surely give the post delivery service some leeway. Like Sue I’ve not posted off so many this year but some I still write letters to  e.g my late mum’s cousins and other family  but hey ho that’s something I do and enjoy.  I used to hand deliver Christmas cards to a lot of neighbours on my street but gave up this year as realised that most of them I don’t see or speak to and can only count on a few to call a true friend or neighbour.
