Once again Wayne Rooney has proved what a petulant little shit he can be. He can be a great player at times but last night he was very poor. Just goes to show he still hasn't matured and is easy to wind up in these big game competitions. Wonder if his dad had a bet on him being sent off.

There seems to have been a bug in the system that merged two discussions together, "Single Guys in ED" and "Football Focus", as Football focus was the largest (by about 250 pages!) this has become the main thread.


Sorry about that.

I missed this at the time it was posted, but I think I'm right in saying Mertesacker protested immediately.

Spain (like Barcelona) play some beautiful football - almost redefining the game... but at 3-1 ahead against Scotland they still, when suffering a minor foul, go down and roll as though savaged by a rabid dog (like Barcelona). This means I am constantly struggling between admiration and repugnance.


Admirugnance?

Repugmiration?..It's frustrating, as they just don't need to resort to those tactics, I guess it's cultural.


Obviously their technique and movement with the ball is second to none, but it's their pressing game when they haven't got the ball that impresses me the most, Scotland could hardly get out of their own half with the ball, yet hardly pressed Spain in their own half, allowing them to pass it out from defence to midfield effortlessly.

      Looking to buy or adopt a dog

      By LondonFermentation · Posted

      I have a rescue Spanish greyhound (galgo) from the charity mentioned above. You can contact Greyhounds in Need or one of the more local Kent greyhound rescue charities. They are fantastic family dogs. They do love walkies 2 or 3 times a day but they actually don't need to be walked too far and then they will happily loaf around on the sofa being very chill. They are brilliant with kids but not recommended if you own a cat as they have a strong prey drive. They also should be kept on the lead in local parks. They prefer to be around other sight-hounds (well my one does) and there are loads of local sighthound owners in Peckham, Crystal Palace etc and a very lively WhatsApp group that is brilliant if you need dog sitting as you can usually find someone to do that for free in return for you looking after the dog at a later date etc.

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      @Jenijenjen I assure you we are always polite and friendly too! Which is why the behaviour we have been receiving is so frustrating. The kids always leave her with a “Thank you have a lovely day”  Our concern is leaving the gate slightly wedged doesn’t stop the action of slamming it open and closed…still leading to damage

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      If you're talking about who I think you are, I find them more exuberant than rude and usually smiling and polite. But then, I'm usually smiling and polite to them. Can you not wedge open your gate when you're expecting them?

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      By Dulwich dweller · Posted

      It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face.
