Only yesterday I was reading about Stan Collymore and his bouts of depression. Seems he Tweeted a lot about it in the last few days. I sometimes hear him on the radio and as a pundit I quite like him but I would never have guessed he had such a dark side.


No idea if Gary Speed had similar problems. Just seems such a shame to take your own life.

The death of a truly great professional overshadows all of the football played over the weekend. Couldn't careless about the results. By all accounts a nicer human being you could not meet, and a truly disciplined professional which is why he managed to play at such a high level for so long. R.I.P. Gary Speed, condolences to his family.

I thought the Leeds fans were as maginificent as the Chelsea fans, or a section of them any way, were despicable. To sing about the death of fans at Hillsborough was deplorable. I have a work colleague who is a Chelsea fan who went to the game and is ashamed of her association with the club because of them.

Yes the Arsenal reserves certainly gave your ?120 millions worth of signings a run for their money. I only realised Na$ri was on the pitch when the boos were ringing out when he touched the ball, otherwise he was anonymous. What agood buy he's turned out to be. As for out singing, are you sure, you only started to sing when you scored. Please don't start doing a Man Ure on us.


Well done Palace, thoroughly deserved win.

Well I was at White Hart Lane last night and although we mostly had our kids out I was still disappointed with the result. I could say the Europa League is a hindrance to the bread and butter of the Premiership but I want to win every game whether it's the Europa League or Carling Cup. Any competition is worth winning. Too many clubs are more interested in finishing in the first four of the Premiership to get in to the Champions League than actually winning anything because of the money that can be earned for the club. Ask yourselves - would you rather finish 4th in the league or win something? I know what my answer is. Football is about the glory, about winning something. Trophies in the cabinet and winning medals.

Following, supporting a club, being a fan, call it what you will, is not JUST about glory, winning titles etc. If that were true, most of us wouldn't bother. Your team is with you for life, through thick and thin. Of COURSE its nice to win title, and of course its nice to win trophies, but would anyone of you EDFers really walk away from your beloved team during fallow periods? I can't believe you would.

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      While they struggle with economics of UK plc, collectively we all suffer as a result of their ineptitude.

      I’ve tried to find details of surgeries being held before but not found any. The section of the Southwark website that details councillors’ surgeries says that: Your locally elected Councillors will be holding a roving surgery programme in the Dulwich Hill area to enable residents to raise any local issues. Residents will be notified by letter in advance of the date, time and specific streets/roads where the surgery will take place.  Surgeries are not held in August, on Bank Holidays, Easter or in Christmas Week.  Dulwich Hill Ward Councillors I’ve never seen any notification of surgeries being held, including on the DH councillors’ social media accounts. I don’t know if any other residents of Dulwich Hill have? Neighbouring wards all seem to have times and places posted for surgeries.

      I wouldn't feel too bad about that. It's one of the few degree areas that you can do a BA or a BSc in, so it's a fairly wide-ranging and complex subject. Certainly Truss, Kwasi and Reeves seem to struggle with it.

      I can't access the article - what's the gist?  I took the markets getting jittery when she was crying at PMQs to be a sign that they trusted her. But maybe it was because they were simply worried about any form of instability.  The NIC hikes have stymied the economy, which we could all see a mile off. Will a wealth tax improve things? Does anyone here think the trickle down has any impact and that chasing out the super rich will help things? Or are we just seeing off the biggest contributors to the economy? And has the Kwasi approach ever worked anywhere else?  Economics is not my strong point at all, I'd love to know others' opinions, but it seems to be she has few options, especially as the party is so divided.
