Not sure about fans of other clubs but I'd rather none of our players took part in a futile, meaningless friendly in case of injury. Not the greatest idea to play such a game between normal league games. Utterly pointless.

Perhaps, tomorrow's game England - Holland game was originally scheduled for last summer but was postsponed because of the riots. Anyway PD nothing to worry about. It's not as if Arsenal contribute much to the England side in recent years.

Really? Seaman, Dixon, Keown, Adams, Walcott, Wright, Wishere,how recent we talking? And as for Holland RVP? Perhaps give a definition of "recent" before making sweeping and ludicrous statements eh? Club v Country? The Arsenal every day of the week.

Might have been helped by being named England Football Supporters Player of the Year for 2011 on Monday (Joe Hart 2nd). One of those "about time" appointments.

Have to agree that Parker has been a bit of a late developer. Used to watch him a lot at Charlton, and he was always good, but not in the same league as Gerrard.


My opinion is that Gerrard is a much better player, but Parker is playing the right way, and is a good appointment when we want a fresh start.


Disagree that it's about time, because I don't think Parker has been good enough in the past.

@Parkdrive - look, you nearly got him (scout Steve Rowley was keen apparently) but Arsene said no so let it go. You don't have to run him down all the time now because he's a lilywhite. And Gerrard wasn't so immense at the last WC was he?


@Otta - I meant about time the England manager looked beyond the big-shot-I-have-player-power enclave of Gerrard, Ferdinand, Terry, Lampard etc. - stopped worrying about big names sulking if they didn't get it and appointed on today's merit.

I think Pearce made the right decision. Watching Gerrard last weekend made me think whether he has match fitness. I also think it'll a while before Gerrard shows his true form after his lengthy injury.


@Parkside - stretching the definition of 'recent' somewhat.

clearly parkdrive was watching a different game.

Parker was very good, one whoops moment notwithstanding.


In fact apart from the obvious inexperience of the side being exposed, I thought it was one of the most positive performances I've seen from an England side in ages.

      My main issue is leaves lying on the road, being washed into drain covers then causing flooding risk.

      Real Estate Agent Advice

      By beansprout · Posted

      Really don’t  know why people don’t sell their property by them selves…or at least start that way… not difficult if a freehold house, might be  more complicated if leasehold flat but with a good solicitor doing his work, should be fine. With many people using internet, plenty of people put  looking and numerous  other ways to reach target audience. Was a relocation agent for  years both in sales and letting through London and home  counties.. ie acquiring properties for individuals. Same goes for rental/ letting agents.. tenancy agreements are standard, totally agree that various laws governing terms  are updated but nowadays the majority of estate agents in letting and I assume sales  belong to a recognised body so really one can let oneself. Tenancies are free on line or can be purchased for a nominal sum. What do they do for their commission in both instances? Introduce tenant or buyer, in theory check out references and produce a tenancy agreement, agree amendments, sign by both parties, collect deposit and rent. Organise inventory check in and that is it. And then if you decide to pay them for management of property an additional fee in the hope that they will use approve contractors for all repairs in a suitable time frame for tenant. Was a post earlier or towards last year not sure on here or Facebook covering this point and lack of management from agent for months. I hasten to add that not all sales or rental agents behave in this manner but certainly some in good old ED. was definitely a posting about a well known agent in the village who was “slow” concerning the above. From memory, change if staff and just got buried…in my book totally unacceptable excuse. That is why they have managers in each estate agent to overseas and stay abreast of sales and lettings. Can’t pass the buck…and most companies irrespective of type of industry have a leaving policy and hand over policy produced normally by HR..Same could be said for consultants in  new build sales but normally they are  responsible and accountable from start to finish ie monitoring sale  the whole way, have to produce weekly reports to head office  plus  follow up on all enquiries. Been their as well over my career.
