Oh, if we're going to be like this I played a couple of times for south London schoolboys. Went training at Crystal Palace and for a very short while was a junior at Spurs and was offered a trial at Everton but by then I'd discovered sex and drugs and rock n'roll. Played Sunday pub football too. Doesn't make me Glenn Hoddle or even Alan Hansen come to think of it.


Anyway, @UDT - to answer your question about Gerrard turning his back on Nasri's shot I would say he should never have been allowed to shoot in the first place and should have been closed down before he got the chance to do so. But you're right he shouldn't have turned his back. You stand firm and try and block or tackle, neither of which he did.

I cottoned on quite some time ago when you mentioned the soldering iron on a Apple thread.

Thanks JL. I also agree with you on Gerrard's positional sense.

Last night caused me to question whether Ireland deserved to be at the championships at all to be honest. With bottom half premiership players and lower league players, it was probably a major achievement to qualify, but they did nothing for the tournament. Comfortably the weakest team there.

    • And no queues at 1130 yesterday. Maybe everyone's had enough and switched to the Yodel and Evri app.
    • Hi there guys, I hope you're well.  I've recently done a term of Dance Yourself Fit, which began with a class at the Harris Girls Academy on the Nunhead side of the Rye, then transferred to the Charter School for Girls up by the old ED hospital. It's been so good and all the women attending have loved it too, but due to exams being on next term the classes are being discontinued in East Dulwich, much to our disappointment. They're moving them to Streatham, but that is not convenient for me and many of the others. This is a link to their site in case anyone is interested though: https://www.danceyourselffit.com I'm now looking for a replacement class that's not too expensive, keeps me moving energetically for an hour and is local and hopefully less than a tenner per lesson (this was about £72 for 8 classes I think?). Does anyone know of anything? I'm also looking for low-cost pilates classes to join too, if anyone has any recommendations for those too? Very best,  Eleanor  Also, just to add, what's been so nice is that it HASN'T been in a gym with lots of lively young lithe gazelle like creatures hopping about. It's been extremely inclusive for women of all sizes and shapes and really nice that it's been in schools not gyms. Anyway, keeping my fingers crossed!
    • I'd also like to highly recommend Niko. He just replaced the extraction fan in our bathroom, having previously installed a new tap for us. Fast, professional and a really great guy. 
    • Agree with this. He's stood down from his role in Cabinet having left the Party, but he was elected as a representative of all the constituents in his ward and logic suggests that he should continue to represent them as a councillor for his remaining 3 months. He might wish to stand again, as a Green, in that ward (if he's chosen) and hope that personal loyalty to him might transfer, but that's now the call of his (new) party and him. He will have to balance that with a view about how many of his Labour supporters will feel sufficiently betrayed to continue to support Labour. I suspect, I may be wrong, that he will not have a cabinet position open to him after May (unless the Greens sweep in locally) so presumably he will have to consider his next career move, and whether that's back to full-time primary teaching.
