> You must be a Spurs fan UDT!


I prefer playing football than watching. Generally I wish more clubs put more faith in their youngsters than spending millions of pounds on players from abroad.

of Chelsea is another good player to watch out for.


With Frimpong he is a future England international and I like to see him paired up with Wishire.

He is already picked for the England U21 team and have played for the England's U18s and U16s teams.


Capello is a fan of Frimpong and Wenger has suggested last year that he should be quickly picked for England's first team given his choice of countries to play for.


When would you start playing with us? Are you scared of Re-re's toe crunching tackles?

This is pretty clear.............a few months old




The young Arsenal midfielder Emmanuel Frimpong is currently recovering from a cruciate knee ligament injury which has kept him out of the team since the beginning of the season, but he is recovering well and hopes to return to traing in the next month or so.


The youngster, who has just turned 19, has represented England at U16 and U17 levels but is adamant that he wants to represent his home country Ghana.


In an interview today on Citi Sports in Ghana he made it clear where his heart lies. ?I have always said that I will play for Ghana because I am a Ghanaian Player. My whole family is from Ghana but at the same time, I have been in England since I was young and I see England as my home.


?But at the moment, if Ghana calls me up I will gladly go and play. But there are people who also don?t want me be called to play for Ghana which is very disappointing. I guess I just have to wait for a call up but at the moment I am still playing for England so it?s a bit of a difficult situation? .


?I have always told my family that if Ghana calls me, I will personally ride my own bicycle from England to Ghana? he concluded.

June this year-


?I want to play for Ghana, because I am a Ghanaian and not for the Three Lions of England.?


?My name is ample testimony that I am a Ghanaian, and so I find it ridiculous playing for the England national team with the kind of name I bear,?


?I have been offered the chance to play for the English side, but I think playing for Ghana would be appropriate.?


-some words are harder to go back on than others... though I suppose he could always change his name to Manny Frimpton?

Danny Welbeck had made the difficult choice when he chose England over Ghana. In case of the Boateng brothers, Jerome chosen Germany while Kevin-Prince played for Ghana and was on opposing sides during the World Cup 2010.


With Frimpong making his first English Premiership start for Arsenal last Saturday, England has signalled their intent and this week selected him for their U21 squad.

It seems there are a wealth of very good technical young English players playing for various clubs such as Chelsea, Everton, Liverpool and Manchester Utd. Josh Macceachran is another impressive young talent.

It's just not simply money. Compared to the seventies and eighties, Scottish clubs haven't produced the same calibre of players like a Dalglish or a Souness.

      Porch Pirate on Underhill Road

      Our camera caught two folks doing this. One of them led me to believe the delivery driver was in on it as he left the package in a very odd place that the thief (who arrived about 10 minutes after from a direction where he could not have seen where the driver left it) went straight to it and took it - but he then dumped it halfway down the next road as clearly packets of freeze-dried food for a DofE award wasn't to his liking (karma sucks!). The second time a guy pulled his bike up in broad daylight, walked down to our door, opened the box, threw the empty box down and stuffed what he had found in his backpack and brazenly waved at the camera and then cycled off. Police asked us to upload his picture but we never heard anything back.

      Did Dulwich College tolerate pupils' bigotry and racism...?

      By Pugwash · Posted

      In the 1960s my husband went to a private day school, Although he was a bright child having won a couple of scholarships to other private schools, his father chose this particular one. He went from 11 - 14 years and left as unhappy with the set up which was based on ethnicity. All boys with both parents English were placed in the A stream regardless of academic ability, Boys with an Irish background were placed in B stream. All others were C streamed - this included boys with a Black or Asian  background, mixed race or mixed European background. His schooldays came to an end when he wished to learn Latin and he was told that no boy in C stream could participate in this subject. His father (not English) was very upset at this and withdrew him from the school and sent him  to a country boarding school.  The experiences he had with his schooling culminated in a breakdown of his mental health and several months in Maudsley. He had low self esteem and it took several decades for him to understand that it was the school system and not his ability which had failed him
