I prefer playing football than watching. Generally I wish more clubs put more faith in their youngsters than spending millions of pounds on players from abroad.

of Chelsea is another good player to watch out for.


With Frimpong he is a future England international and I like to see him paired up with Wishire.

He is already picked for the England U21 team and have played for the England's U18s and U16s teams.


Capello is a fan of Frimpong and Wenger has suggested last year that he should be quickly picked for England's first team given his choice of countries to play for.


When would you start playing with us? Are you scared of Re-re's toe crunching tackles?

This is pretty clear.............a few months old




The young Arsenal midfielder Emmanuel Frimpong is currently recovering from a cruciate knee ligament injury which has kept him out of the team since the beginning of the season, but he is recovering well and hopes to return to traing in the next month or so.


The youngster, who has just turned 19, has represented England at U16 and U17 levels but is adamant that he wants to represent his home country Ghana.


In an interview today on Citi Sports in Ghana he made it clear where his heart lies. ?I have always said that I will play for Ghana because I am a Ghanaian Player. My whole family is from Ghana but at the same time, I have been in England since I was young and I see England as my home.


?But at the moment, if Ghana calls me up I will gladly go and play. But there are people who also don?t want me be called to play for Ghana which is very disappointing. I guess I just have to wait for a call up but at the moment I am still playing for England so it?s a bit of a difficult situation? .


?I have always told my family that if Ghana calls me, I will personally ride my own bicycle from England to Ghana? he concluded.

Frimpong pingong...let's get back to the serious stuff...

June this year-


?I want to play for Ghana, because I am a Ghanaian and not for the Three Lions of England.?


?My name is ample testimony that I am a Ghanaian, and so I find it ridiculous playing for the England national team with the kind of name I bear,?


?I have been offered the chance to play for the English side, but I think playing for Ghana would be appropriate.?


-some words are harder to go back on than others... though I suppose he could always change his name to Manny Frimpton?

Danny Welbeck had made the difficult choice when he chose England over Ghana. In case of the Boateng brothers, Jerome chosen Germany while Kevin-Prince played for Ghana and was on opposing sides during the World Cup 2010.


With Frimpong making his first English Premiership start for Arsenal last Saturday, England has signalled their intent and this week selected him for their U21 squad.

It seems there are a wealth of very good technical young English players playing for various clubs such as Chelsea, Everton, Liverpool and Manchester Utd. Josh Macceachran is another impressive young talent.

It's just not simply money. Compared to the seventies and eighties, Scottish clubs haven't produced the same calibre of players like a Dalglish or a Souness.

    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
