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.

      Anyone else having issues with The Gardens Surgery

      By MaryT · Posted

      Thanks for the response and to some who PM’d me. I’m now included on the Patient Participation Group (meeting next in Dec) so I’m going to feed back the comments here, good and bad. Update today to PPG members is that, as some of you have said, there is a new contact in place with GP practices with effect from 1 Oct. That appears to be the driver for some of the changes we’ve seen at The Gardens. From the responses here, though, patients might be getting an inconsistent message from the Surgery; I was definitely told that appointments must be made through the app, and only the app. It was only when I expressed concern that a strictly online service would not be suitable for all, that I was told by the receptionist that she could complete the request for me (or others if needed). Even then, then patients would need to await a text from the Practice. Perhaps we are just teething problems with the new provision…Happy to bring any and all comments to the PPG meeting (although I’m aware that the most digitally-excluded people probably aren’t on EDF!) Thanks folks.

      Fireworks

      By malumbu · Posted

      Went to a fireworks display maybe 20 years ago at the Crystal Palace, it wasn't bonfire night, can't remember why it was being held, Capital Radio were there. There were people hanging from a crane, classical music, and quiet fireworks,  It was lovely, still dramatic with the colours but no loud bangs. Not sure why this hasn't become the norm.
