Terry's 'retirement' from international football won't save him from an FA ban...


"I feel the FA, in pursuing charges against me where I have already been cleared in a court of law, have made my position with the national team untenable."


...bleats wriggling worm in predictably clumsy PR move shocker.

Very happy with Utd's win, but a poor performance overall.

Gervinho aside, Arsenal looked very good.

Re.John Terry, good riddance to rubbish.


Now back to more serious matters...


Ot - 6 correct results + 2 correct scores = 12pts

PD - 5 correct results + 1 correct score = 8pts

RD - 4 correct results + 1 correct score = 7pts

?? - 3 correct results + 1 correct score = 6pts

JL - 6 correct results + 0 correct score = 6pts

Mx - 2 correct results + 1 correct score = 5pts

From BBC


"Former Chelsea manager Avram Grant questions the Football Association's decision to charge John Terry with using racist language.


Grant tells BBC Radio 5 live: "Nobody thinks that John Terry is a racist so the FA need to leave it. He's a good man.


"He respects everybody, he's good with people and I was very surprised that people thought bad things about him. If [the FA] think JT is racist they need to do something but I think nobody thinks he is a guy like this."

Rio Ferdinand's not getting any younger and can barely string half a dozen games together before he's out injured again. The little niggles are getting harder to shake off as he gets older. Certainly, if he can retain his fitness and play well regularly then he's worth having a look at just for his vast experience alone, he's still better than most when fully fit but there is plenty of young talent out there at centre back and I think England will cope well without having to rely on John Terry who, and let's be fair has served England well over the years and put in some great performances but with younger players like Phil Jagielka, Gary Cahill, Chris Smalling, Phil Jones, Michael Dawson and Steven Caulker ready to make the step up the only problem I see with some of those players is whether they are playing regularly enough for their clubs.

I'm guessing the FA have a good reason as to why they've given a different penalty.


I'm intrigued to know what it is though! Apparently Suarez was heavily penealised because he racially abused Evra persistently throughout the game, so it could be the Terry's infringement was considered to be a one off during a heated exchange.


It also seems that neither Suarez nor Terry are considered racist by the FA, it was the language they were both penailsed for not the intent.

Another master stroke from Rogers I see.


Right, some of our players have reputations for diving, and hence have "boy who cried wolf" syndrome, so if we all start diving, they won't be so obvious.


Okay Brendan. Just when I think you're doing good things with youth...


Not like you to have no words about Liverpool Atticus :)

      Is anyone pregnant and due this winter?

      By Elelel123 · Posted

      Dear families,   My name is Eleanor. I’ve worked in NHS Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services for the past eight years, and I’m about to begin an Infant Observation course in preparation for psychotherapy training. I’m looking for a baby to observe as part of this training.   The observation involves me visiting a baby and their parent for one hour a week over two years, with the aim of deepening my understanding of early emotional and developmental processes. Taking part is a generous contribution to the training of future child psychotherapists — ultimately supporting the mental health of children and families.   Both of my own children were observed as babies, which I found to be a really positive experience. Having an observer gently witness my babies’ development helped me notice their weekly changes in a new way, and I came to appreciate the calm, consistent presence of a trained observer. I was sad when the observations ended!   If you — or someone you know — is expecting a baby due before the end of February*, I would love to hear from you. You can contact me at +44 7977 910018 or [email protected].   Best wishes, Eleanor

      Wanted - table top ironing board

      I rarely iron, so my massive ironing board is just taking up unnecessary space. Does anyone have one of those little ones that you can use on an ordinary table?

      It's happened twice today, I've never had this happen before! Here's the second one. All I did was try to agree with a post in the lounge!

      Now I'm having my hand slapped by some forum bot 😮 All I did was try to add a laughing emoji to ianr's post. This is obviously a message from the universe to tell me to get off my phone and get back to working my way through my very lengthy to do list 🤣 ETA: And it's just happened again when I tried to agree with a post in the lounge. OK universe, I give in. Back to the hideous task list.
