And you, and everybody else who has reacted like you to this whole sorry situation, will rise hugely in my estimation if you all react in the same way that you have to Ramseys broken leg.

Oh Man - me too. Was running line once when a lad's leg went snap - could here it from the other side of the pitch! Ugh!

Nigel de Jong speaks the truth -


""I went for the ball and got the opponent at the end.


"I had no evil intent. If the ball is between me and the opponent, you have to go in full. If you do not then the opponent takes you.


"And if you're scared in a game you get injured yourself."


Wasn't talking about Arsenal, but may as well have been.

Enough already, see previous posts. Lets draw a line under this now.

OOOhhh comic genius at work, a one liner Groucho Marx would be proud of, but then as a spuds or Pompey fan you need a good sense of humour, especially as Pompey will me playing in the dizzying heights of the Championship next season. Now thats funny.

I presume you'll take a passing interest in tomorrow's proceedings. I'd be gutted if we lose but this game's got banana skin writ large all over it.

Wow yet another comic colossus on the forum, yet another gem Oscar Wilde would have been proud of. Do you guys sit up at night toiling over your keyboards for inspiraion for these gems, or does being funny just come naturally. I'm flattered by all the attention from you guys. Group hug anyone?

Well done to Pompey - at least they can salvage something now from a disastrous season. Really disappointed in the way we played, particularly in the final third. Absolutely gutted that the goal was not allowed when the ball had clearly crossed the line before James palmed it out. But by then the game was lost anyway. Come on Reading!

If Arsenal win the league it will be ironic given that they have showed they have no idea how to handle Chelsea or Man United. It seems however they handle the other 18 or so lesser teams better - so far at least.


But they have a fragility that showed today in that they could easily have conceded a late goal. So no Arsenal fan would be confident going into any match that they will actually take their chances and put the match to bed before the final whistle. Having said that, a decent striker and they might have been clear at this stage.

Ratty - just back from Fratton. Better team on the day won and the 'not allowed' goal didn't really matter. Congrats.


Edited to correct the typos caused by beer.


And I'll be back for the PL game on Tuesday for some reason.

That sounds like Bendtner and it begs the question as to whether he'll fulfil his potential. Clearly got talent but he's one of those players who needs to apply himself more and develop an edge to his play rather than a slightly lazy arrogance.

      Foxes

      By Lynne · Posted

      Every night a fox is dragging our small solar powered pump out from the pond and chewing through the cable.  Two questions. One, of course, is why? What does it gain from it? Second is how can we stop it . We've tried taking the pump out at night but since most of the cable runs under the path, we can't put it very far away. We've tried weighing it down after removal but the fox, after a couple of days has learned to push the weights away. It seems to be enjoying the contest. We're not. Any fox experts with suggestions would be welcomed.

      How oversubscribed are the local schools? Will they be able to take on students who are currently privately-educated?

      By lollol · Posted

      Southwark and Lambeth may have some spaces but this is not the case of other London boroughs nearby particularly at secondary level. Also this is not just a London issue. There are many regions throughout the UK that have no school places available (eg Kent due to new housing developments, rural areas, Surrey, Guildford, Edinburgh etc). Just because you feel it doesn’t affect you, does not mean it’s right.  You also need to consider the proportion of foreign students in many of the private schools in the area which distorts the impression that local people can pay private school fees and suck up an additional £4-5k per child and per year. And sadly, the psychological and emotional impact on children is not even being discussed.

      Education not taxation - please consider signing this petition!

      By lollol · Posted

      Step in a child’s shoes just for one moment and think what it would be like to have to move schools in the middle of the year away from your friends, teachers, community etc. due to a political stunt. I doubt the money will even go into education. The UK will be become the only European country to tax education. Primary schools have some capacity where I live but I have enquired and there are currently no places for secondary school where I live. Again, so easy to be smug and say we should have pre planned a potential outcome 5 years ago when you live in your £2-3m homes next to the best state schools in Dulwich (like Keir Starmer!)
