knowing Hughes he'll probably use it as a springboard to manage a bigger club.


Exactly, he'll go there with promises from the owners that he'll have money to spend. He'll spend a load of their money, do okay, get a "bigger" job, get found out, get sacked, and then it'll start again.

All this clarifies is that you are a typically blinkered football fan who turns to abuse like it's a god damned right, Atila.

Mancini doesn't seem to think so Blue! As for Spurs not having Ade available to play I think is a fault of the loan system. I think loans should only be allowed from the PL to a lower division or abroad. It may discourage clubs from paying overinflated wages to attract players only to ditch them when a better one comes along.

I meant win the Premiership Jah in case that was not clear. you have been very good so far in talking of staying ahead of the teams below rather than catching the teams above. Suspect Harry is beginning to look up.....

I knew what you meant Mac. Something will happen to fcuk things up. Harry could end up in jail for starters. Spurs will drop points at some stage and so will City and Utd. The form guide for the last 18 games does make nice reading though...Spurs 45 points, City 42 points, Man Utd 39 points. Not sure what Arsenal's stats are for the same period but I reckon they'd be pretty impressive too as they've had a good run since losing to Spurs.

Blinkered you say? Ok lets examine just how blinkered I am. Lets start with Rooneys loyalty. This is the guy that once paraded a T shirt adorned with the words "once a blue always a blue" and moved on to Man U. This is the guy that kisses the club badge then holds the club to ransom after claiming that he has fears over the clubs competitiveness. This is the same guy that has a track record when it comes to using the services of prostitutes. And I'm blinkered. Ironic or what.

Robbie Keane signs on loan to Aston Villa


That must be a first - Robbie Keane does an interview on joining Villa and omitted to mention that it was his boyhood favourite club and has always had a lifelong ambition to play for them! Must be having a senior moment.

Spurs are in unknown territory, no one knows how they will react to the added pressure of being title contenders.

I think the last unfancied winners of the League were Leeds, and that was in the last season of the old 1st Division.

Still, not being in Europe might work in their favour. I'm happy for them to be in the mix, puts added pressure on Citeh...last nights performance looked very flat.

I think they were both sending off offences...lunging in with both feet off the ground is dangerous intent, regardless whether it results in a clean tackle or ripping the other blokes leg off.

For all you conspiracy theorists out there, Nani was sent off in a match at the Villa a couple of seasons ago for a similar two footed 'tackle' that cleanly won the ball. All we want is consistency, one way or the other.


Mancini was also hypocritical about Rooney's alledged 'waving a card' gesture after the Kompany lunge...in the league game against Liverpool he made a very clear 'waving a card' gesture himself...but that's managers for you :)

I agree it's unknown territory for us. If and I say if we beat City and maybe go top of the league at some point that is when the real pressure starts but we're not there yet. We still have to beat Wolves at home at the weekend and that won't be an easy game. At the moment I'm really enjoying watching my team play some fantastic football and winning games.

Also, Man Utd are usually even better in the second half of the season. They have a few problems at the moment - same as us - but I'm sure they'll be there challenging for the title until the last kick of the season. They have the benefit of experience in doing it many times before. I just hope Spurs can keep up the good work they have started.


Got to add this quote from the late great Bill Nicholson.


?It is better to fail aiming high than to succeed aiming low. And we of Spurs have set our sights very high... so high, in fact, that even failure will have in it an echo of glory!? - Bill Nicholson OBE.

    • Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertised  times. Hope you got it sorted x
    • People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.
    • Adapted not forced.  As have numerous species around the world.  Sort of thing that Attenborough features.  Domestic dogs another good example - hung around communities for food and then we become the leader of the pack.  Not sure how long it will take foxes to domesticate, but some will be well on their way.    Raccoons also on the way https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1j8j48e5z2o
    • My memory, admittedly not very reliable these days, places the shop on the block on the left hand side just before Burgess Park going towards Camberwell. Have also found a reference to Franklins Antiques being located at 157 Camberwell Road which is on that block. This is a screen shot obtained from Google maps of that address which accords with my memory except the entrance door was on the right hand side, where the grey door is, rather than in the centre.
