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 :)

      Great news! Peckham Rye station to reclaim its public square by next year!

      By first mate · Posted

      The big difference, other than increasingly flaking paint, seems to be graffiti. The question is, will that/ can it be controlled?

      Nasty kids in Peckham Park

      By alice · Posted

      I took back my 🤣 because I think the idea is unworkable expensive and would produce little result.  There seems to be people in the office next to the toilet but I don’t think they leave the office. I’m not sure what they do there.  The toilets have been in a disgusting state for months and months with many promises to repair they are not functional and they invite vandalism. I shall  try to add a couple of photos. The council doesn’t care why should we?

      Nasty kids in Peckham Park

      By first mate · Posted

      There will always be kids pushing the envelope as the saying goes, but having some boundaries should help most understand what they can and cannot do. I think dedicated, daily park wardens is exactly what is required...with a hotline to SNT teams on the beat. Is there no way money made from Gala or from Park parking fees can be diverted to provide that funding? I feel it would be a really good use of money. The principle aim being to maintain the park as a safe and relaxing environment for all. If funding really cannot be found I wonder if there might be funding to at least train volunteer park wardens?
