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.

      GALA 2026

      By alice · Posted

      Some people don’t like it, some people will love it.  It doesn’t bother me at all. In fact I quite like it. I do not like assumptions you make about ‘elderly people’.

      GALA 2026

      By Saranne · Posted

      This concerns me as it essentially disregards the significant number of people who do experience a high level of disruption because of the event.  While it's great that you personally are not inconvenienced, this is absolutely not the case for a great many residents many of whom are elderly or who do not have private gardens and rely on the park.   Great that you have a PHD in ecology but might also be worth reading the report into the environmental impact of Gala which paints a rather different story to yours. This comes round every year with a request to extend. This seems to me to be a distraction to steer everyone away from the main event. However, Southwark Council and Councillor Catherine Rose in particular must bear responsibility for what is effectively privatisation of our community space.  I requested data on the results of the last consultations and had to use a subject access request to get it.  In 2024 the council received 111 responses of which 108 were negative. The event went ahead. Last year they received 136 of which 82 were negative and 34 said only with major changes (which did not happen).   The impact of the event on the community and the enviroment is well-documented.  The council has so far refused to supply data on the demographics of the attendees but it doesn't take much to work out that this is largely single under 30s from out of borough judging by the steady stream of people from the station.   Please do take time to protest and also to email Events as we try to hold the council accountable for their disregard of the public consultation results.

      I'd like to recommend Marius who recently built bespoke alcove cabinets and bookshelves for me at a very reasonable price. All was done quickly, the units are fitted perfectly and he tidied up after himself everyday. Marius: 07459 195 564
