Er, the elbowing comments actually came from a Citeh and a 'ammers fan.

If only you just did smile...

Better that than a twitching churchill dog!! Just trying to balance things up. I wonder if posters on here will be as quick to jump on the bandwagon when an allegation is levelled at one of their own? Nah

United? Really??? Not as long as I have breath in my body. As for arrogant it must be a Manc thing, it's obviously spreading from the neighbours, who take the prize all day long for arrogance.

I'll find it hard to support a team captained by Terry.


On an even more shocking note, football tribalism plumbs new depths with the deaths in Egypt. Shocked and saddened in equal measure. For all the verbal hostility on here, the scenes on TV yesterday were horrific, and makes wonder if scenes such as these could ever be repeated here. I'd like to think not.

Football violence may be a fact of life in Egypt, but the shocking levels have little to do with tribalism and everything to do with the political situation.


Noone is quite sure how to interpret last nights events until the dust begins to settle, but a couple of theories are doing the rounds.


Despite wider opposition, many ultra leaders are quite cosy with the military leadership who have used them previously to foment civil unrest. It's possible last night was orchestrated to give SCAF (Supreme Council of the Armed Forces - basically the junta that took over when Mubarak stepped down) an excuse to cling on to power, but far more likely is that the violence was a sign that the Ultra leadership have lost control.


If the latter then this was a poke in the eye of the authorities (and a literal stab in the gut of the police deemed to have been Mubarak's poodles and a target of particular hatred) to say get the hell out of power and to move democratic reform on more quickly.


Could it happen here? In short no.


Could it happen somewhere like Spain with 50% youth unemployment and clubs who have long tolerated and colluded with their Ultra support (think Barca and Real particularly)? At a pinch I suppose, but there simply isn't the groundswell of anger at the political situation there to do so.


After the collapse of the Euro and the Spanish economy.....maybe.....

The crappy new look BBC site is now reporting Terry is going to lose the England captaincy.


Rio's probably a bit past it now. Lampard's also past his best. Gerrard seems to be hampered more and more by injury. I don't think it is right for Rooney.


Time for the next generation? Step forward Phil Jones?

He's as old as Gerrard & Co. Nothing wrong with a young captain who can grow more and more in to the role.


The whole Terry thing is troubling. The case should NEVER have been put back until after the euros. However, being as it has been put back, is it right that he be punished in any way, before having his day in court?


If we as a country are going to live by "innocent until proven guilty", then surely until he is found guilty in a court, he shouldn't be punished. IF he is found innocent at trial, the FA will have egg on their faces.


Personally I don't think he should ever have been given the armband back in th first place, but he was, and I'm not sure it's right to strip him of it because he's been accused of something.

      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!)

      Birth rate collapses sounds a bit like Armageddon.  It's a mixture of a decline following a bulge, where many schools had to increase intake, and families moving out of the capital due to high cost of housing.  Now that is an irony, that only wealthy families, many who can afford private schooling, can afford to live in many parts of London.
