If memory serves me correctly, didn't Paul Scholes refuse to play for Manchester United against the Arsenal in the league about 10 years ago, a game which his side lost 4 nil?

That was when he was banished to the reserves who played in that LC tie. Actually Stan Collymore refused to play for Liverpool reserves too when he was there. But Tevez was on the bench so his case is somewhat different. It's hard to know what Tevez really wants. He knows he can't move anywhere yet, he's earning a good salary, what's wrong with playing a bit of football too? He may not like Mancini but heck it's his job and you don't have to like the boss. The money should be compensation enough.

I believe not just the Rodwell decsion to be wrong, Van der Vaart clearly handled the ball to score Tottenhams first goal but none of the officials gave it. The decsion to disallow Wolves a perfectly legitimate goal was also questionable to say the least. Perhaps this will just add fuel to the fire regarding video replays for match officials?

Isn't it just the purest of pleasures to see the mire Forest are in.


And yet the nature of that ghastly club is that they thrive out of adversity. When last the East Midlands Juve had bested them on all fronts, a gobby northener arrived and propelled them within no time to a level beyond all precedent and prediction. Even now, diminished by dipsomania, scandal and malfeasance, they pull in crowds three times that of more deserving clubs north of the Trent.


But perhaps this time the times are changing.

It's debatable whether it was handball or not. Certainly none of the Arsenal players appealed at the time. And as for video replays I think that could spoil the flow of the game. I'd only go for goal line technology though. Too many times a ball has been clearly over the line and not given.

Very debatable, and inconclusive from replays...same applies to the Wolves 'goal' This has been said many times before, these decisions tend to even themselves out over the course of a season. I'd rather keep the flow of the game and rely on the officials to make an honest decision at the time. However, if like Mr Atkinson they make an obvious howler, they should show some accountability and issue an apology/explanation of their decision.

The one thing I like about Fabio is that he tends to only pick players who are actually playing regular club football, not going on past glories/reputation i.e Ferdinand...as for posh bloke, let's hope he doesn't stagnate like Walcott seems to have done at L'Arse

      Oh yes, it could have been about there, I can't remember exactly. At one point there seemed to be a load of pizza places opening on NCR. I vaguely remember the one we used to use was put out of business by another one which opened. Wasn't Grace and Favour's food offering more of a tea shop at the back of the actual shop? If memory serves the owner, whose name escapes me now, was one of the earliest people I know to move to Hastings. Which must now be crammed with South East Londoners 🤣

      The Mansion Tax

      By James Barber · Posted

      Hi Dogkennelhillbilly, You won't be aware that i proposed infill sites for housing in East Dulwich - the garages on Bassano Street and Henslowe that respectively became 1-4 Dill Terrace family houses and the 78, 80, 80A Henslowe Street family houses. These were council owned garages and it was frustrating how slow the council was to go from my idea to completion (roughly eight years). East Dulwich has some other vacant WW2 bomb sites I'm guessing that the private land owners have been sitting on.Owe for a land tax for vacant land.  WRT to the builders yard by East dulwich station. Southwark Council has an agreed policy the area should remain suburban 2/3 storeys maximum. But the approved scheme is 9 storeys of student accommodation. Very hard to put this genie back in the bottle. The council has recently publicly stated lower ratios of social housing will be required. I will be amazed if the developer doesn't submit another application now they have the 9 storeys approved but with significantly less social housing. The less social housing the higher the land values. The higher the land values the less social housing viability reports state are possible.  If we really want to increase home supply - Southwark have over 6,000 empty homes. Vancouver charges a low % of the value of empty homes and rapidly eased this problem. Parts of Wales have introduced under Article 4 planning permission is required for second homes seeing within 12 months a dramatic decrease in property prices. Southwark Council have Article 4 requirements - why not add this one? It takes National political will to solve this AND regional and local authorities such as the second home council tax premium and these being used promptly.
