Only yesterday I was reading about Stan Collymore and his bouts of depression. Seems he Tweeted a lot about it in the last few days. I sometimes hear him on the radio and as a pundit I quite like him but I would never have guessed he had such a dark side.


No idea if Gary Speed had similar problems. Just seems such a shame to take your own life.

The death of a truly great professional overshadows all of the football played over the weekend. Couldn't careless about the results. By all accounts a nicer human being you could not meet, and a truly disciplined professional which is why he managed to play at such a high level for so long. R.I.P. Gary Speed, condolences to his family.

I thought the Leeds fans were as maginificent as the Chelsea fans, or a section of them any way, were despicable. To sing about the death of fans at Hillsborough was deplorable. I have a work colleague who is a Chelsea fan who went to the game and is ashamed of her association with the club because of them.

Yes the Arsenal reserves certainly gave your ?120 millions worth of signings a run for their money. I only realised Na$ri was on the pitch when the boos were ringing out when he touched the ball, otherwise he was anonymous. What agood buy he's turned out to be. As for out singing, are you sure, you only started to sing when you scored. Please don't start doing a Man Ure on us.


Well done Palace, thoroughly deserved win.

Well I was at White Hart Lane last night and although we mostly had our kids out I was still disappointed with the result. I could say the Europa League is a hindrance to the bread and butter of the Premiership but I want to win every game whether it's the Europa League or Carling Cup. Any competition is worth winning. Too many clubs are more interested in finishing in the first four of the Premiership to get in to the Champions League than actually winning anything because of the money that can be earned for the club. Ask yourselves - would you rather finish 4th in the league or win something? I know what my answer is. Football is about the glory, about winning something. Trophies in the cabinet and winning medals.

Following, supporting a club, being a fan, call it what you will, is not JUST about glory, winning titles etc. If that were true, most of us wouldn't bother. Your team is with you for life, through thick and thin. Of COURSE its nice to win title, and of course its nice to win trophies, but would anyone of you EDFers really walk away from your beloved team during fallow periods? I can't believe you would.

      Resident Doctors

      By HeadNun · Posted

      Half my family are medics, going back generations, and none of them would ever have gone, or would now go, on strike. I know times have changed, but my family knew what they were signing up for, and accepted the detriment to their families and the hours (which, in the junior years, were way longer when they are now)... because it was not only a vocation, but a stable career for life. And they felt a genuine duty of care to their patients, whom they often put before their own children.  I can only conclude that entry-level junior doctors are more entitled these days. Plus, it's insensitive to nurses, who really do deserve a lot more money and recognition.  There are issues other than pay, like the lack of available posts, and having to move around the country, but they can be improved without a strike.  I don't think the right people are being recruited into the profession anymore. We're all on lower wages and paying more tax than we were ten years ago, but many of us just have to suck it up, work our socks off and get on with it.

      Beglfire I start, I have a lot of respect for Doctors and owe my life to them after various mishaps over the years.  I am however getting a jaded view of them continuing to run the strike ballot next week in the middle of what is turning into a bad winter for the NHS. Of course they may vote to not strike, but personally feel it is irresponsible timing to consider it as hospitals are already struggling.  Today the BMA warned of scaremongering over the current flu outbreak (BBC News - BMA warns of flu 'scaremongering' ahead of doctor strikes - BBC News https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c5y22yzl6y6o) but just seeing how many people I know are going down with it, that feels like poor spin by the BMA. How do others feel ?

      We have also used Niko the plumber, he was great, fixed both of our leaking toilets and was also super helpful with advice about the shower leaking.
