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 :)

    • That's not a bad idea, though I also want to keep the site as simple and user friendly as possibly. It's ultimately about getting a balance between being informative and being a good read. Stars are useful but I'd like people to read the reviews too. 
    • Standard places haven’t got any? Anyone seen any on sale this week? thanks
    • Sue. You really don’t have to keep saying about the electoral system    a) we all know about it b) it doesn’t matter    FPTP is the system we have always had and hopefully we will get rid of it someday but it is what it is    when anyone suggests changing the system Corbyn is right there at the front of the queue to prevent it   so its pointless him or any of supporters complaining about it    the evidence you want is the result of the elections. You can’t have clearer evidence. 
    • Has anyone from the school commented? Have they said why? Is it a fresh start? Is it that Grove in the name may have connotations of wealth and they want to attract more applicants from a wider area? Is that it currently is linked to the DKH Estate?
