Who saw that result coming?

John, Manchester's finest, producing some fancy ganache work in the final bake-off to pip Brendan the Softy Southerner.

''I'm over the moon'' said a delighted John. Predictably Brendan was ''gutted'' and quickly blamed a bad egg timer.

James, a distant third, headed home in true Scottish fashion with his tail well and truly between his legs...

Serbia need to be shown the door by Fifa and UEFA. They have a disgraceful track record as far as racism is concerned and last nights performance by Serbian fans, players and officials was sub human. Grow a pair Fifa and Uefa and boot them out of competions for at least a year. Well done norn iron for making multi millionaire and sour puss Ronaldo "unhappy", tool. At least they had a go unlike the Jocks who were played off the park. Shcoking.

ProPlus and sleeping tablets aside, another insipid and disjointed performance from Team England.

What gets me, is that in the post-match TV interview, Roy said that the pitch wasn't conducive to possession football, instead suiting the long ball game. If that's the case Roy, why didn't you play a team that included Carroll and wingers?..

" Shaun, a Liverpool supporter, on

5 live Your Call: "I've been 36

years a season ticket holder at

Anfield, but this is my last season.

I've been all over the world following

Liverpool, but I've just had enough.

It's too much. We have a ?140m

wage bill. If Liverpool cut their wage

bill by 10% they could afford to drop

the ticket prices ?15 per match per

person. But they won't do it.

"Without the fans there is no football,

and I think clubs need to remember

that. We are the golden goose. Don't

kill us off. I've got four children I'd

love to take to the match, but I can't

afford it."



Spot on that man.

Couple more comments from BBC website.


GET INVOLVED

Paul Wilkinson on Twitter: "If it costs

as much to see League 1 game as to

go to Cheltenham Festival something

is very wrong."


Peanut on Twitter: "Can't recall my

first match, was too young. Dad took

me home/away for years. My lad's

13, could only ever afford the odd

game."

I heard that call. Someone in the studio reckoned that the clubs could substantially lower tickets prices from the extra revenue they will receive next season from the new Sky deal, but we all know they won't. Fans go on about overpaid prima donnas, but to me the buck stops with the clubs, they control what the players earn, not the players...

    • Callout for help from any local experts here. Looking to find out more about the history of the property on the corner of Whateley Road and Ulverscroft road (with the green glazed bricks). Now a residential property, i'm told it was a bottle shop in days gone (the house was built around 1900) by and i'd like to learn more about the history of the business that was once here - name, photos, anything at all really! Seems to be very little from open source research so i'm hoping anyone with history in the area can provide any insight!  Starting here before i contact Southwark Archives or similar orgs to get any information and pictures (any advice here also would be welcome). Thank you
    • Portable ramps are available for businesses to use in this sort of situation, aren't they? I don't know whether one would be suitable for use here, or whether they have the space to store one. Lots of people have  permanent or temporary disabilities which mean they have to use crutches or a wheelchair.
    • I can’t remember where I read that figure but this article in the Grauniad from 2023 discusses Ocado results from 2022. The average shopping cart fell to £118 from £129 the previous year. But Ocado lost £500m that year on approximately 20 million orders (circa 400k orders per week). So, averaging out to £25 lost per order. Ocado pauses building new warehouses as annual losses balloon to £500m | Ocado | The Guardian  Obviously, the £500m loss includes various factors. But Ocado has existed for 25 years and only made a small profit in a couple of those years. The rest have been huge losses. Yet it continues to raise funds and speculation sends the share price up and down. In that respect,  it’s like the UK version of Tesla. Meanwhile, the main growth in the supermarket sector has been for Aldi and Lidl, who do not deliver.
