I'll look up patronising while I'm at it.

Cloghie's big mouth was the least of FA's worries. The FA didn't want a power struggle with Cloughie.


Moving onto the England game it seems the team is full of centre backs. Three out of the four England midfielders: Gareth Barry, Jones, and Rodwell, have all played as centre halves in their careers.Perhaps if England played a defender as a striker then we could have got a proper goal rather than an own one. But then Barry and Rodwell both had sitters.

I'm giggling like a schoolgirl Parkdrive. Your wit is beyond compare.


Back to last night's game. Agreeing with you Undisputed Truth. No flare in the midfield. No one to pick out a pass. The sooner young Wilshire gets fit again the better but should we really be placing so much hope on a 19-year-old?


Anyway, it's good that that particular 43-year hoodoo has gone. Still, two wins from two games, beating the World Champions and no goals conceded. It's hard to have much to complain about.

In related news, the FA have charged Suarez, but still haven't suggested any evidence. Surely if there was TV footage, we would have seen it?


Before UDT jumps on me, I'll say again. If he is PROVEN guilty, I'll be the first to say he should be heavily punished.


It still looks like Evra's word against Suarez's.

Wislhere and Maceachran are the future central midfielders for England. Then we should see some proper flair. Rodwell is a very good player but I'd like to see him play as a footballing centre half/sweeper.

What's disappointing about all the recent race issues is how fans' and club loyalties seem to take precedence over the issue (I'm not talking about EDF users).


From the Telegraph...



AVB should never have come out and given his full backing to John Terry so quickly. Yes, Terry is innocent until proven guilty, but a club should only release statements like AVB's when they have the full facts from an independent inquiry...ditto Dalglish and Liverpool...clubs need to show far more responsibility on such issues, otherwise it only gives fuel to the fans vitriol.

I agree whole heartedly with that R_D. As a Liverpool fan, obviously I want Suarez playing, because he is a quality player, but that doesn't give ANYONE a pass to be a racist (IF indeed he is).


When it happened, Man U supporters were all convinced he was guilty, whilst all Liverpool fans were convinced he was innocent. This strikes me as pretty poor form (from both sides), and absolutely ridiculous, as not a single one of them actually knows.


My only reason for being so strong on the need for proof, is that accusations like this tend to stick, and whether found guilty or not, Suarez will now always have the shadow of racism hanging over his head.

Also agree with this. It is something that should have dealt with very swiftly, and harshly (if necessary). Having them both drag on has done NO ONE any favours at all.

      Seeking parent-to-be for infant observation

      By Pugwash · Posted

      Good luck with this - there have been several requests over the years by students needing to do infant observations.  I was lucky when I did mine  - way back in 1994 at a local nursery. Have you tried contacting the NCT to see if there are any local groups who would be willing to participate? As a mother of 2 - found the observation very informative - mine was a 2 year old child as my course stated a child under 3. Got my highest grade for this project so was very happy.

      Happy birthday! I've just read a bunch of your reviews and really enjoyed it. You write Interestingly without being too ornate, and you manage to give a really good insight into the "vibe" of a place as well as the food. Totally agree with your review of Rocca - it's simple, great food in a friendly atmosphere at a completely reasonable price, esp considering the location.

      Seeking parent-to-be for infant observation

      By MillieB · Posted

      Hello,  I am a 52-year old mother and an integrative counsellor who lives and works in West Dulwich, SE21. In mid January I am starting a new training in Parent Infant Psychotherapy (helping parents to bond with their babies), and a key component of the course is a 24-month infant observation.  I’m looking for someone who will be giving birth ideally in January or February and who would allow me to observe their baby for one hour a week until the baby’s second birthday. The baby can be awake or asleep, playing, feeding, eating or interacting with carer/s and family members - whatever they normally do at that time.  The purpose of the observation is to enable me to gain a thorough knowledge of very early infant development and to develop the capacity to maintain an observationally minded and non-judgemental attitude in my work as an infant-parent psychotherapist.  I will provide enhanced DBS clearance and I’m happy to answer any questions.  Please forward this email to anyone who might be interested, email me at [email protected] or call me on 07949716043. I would be extremely grateful for any leads. Many thanks,  Millie  Millie Burton, MBACP Integrative Counsellor [email protected] millieburton.com

      I keep my promises...had the Sweet & Sour Chicken.  It was great - the best sweet and sour dish I've ever had. The chicken itself was good and the sauce seemed home made with real vegetables and pineapple - it is NOT the red sugar sauce goo you get elsewhere.  The Korean fried chicken was very good but the sweet chili sauce was much more chili than sweet - just far too spicy for me. There is a honey something sauce that I will get next time. Egg fried veggie rice was good as a side.  We also ordered the chicken katsu curry which was polished off so quickly I didn't get to taste it. It looked very good tho. SD is not like Magic Wok used to be - cheap and filling but junk food. (Don't get me wrong - I went often to Magic Wok). SD's food is much higher quality, real ingredients, chunky portions, freshly prepared. I'll be back, for sure.
