With Southgate in charge I wasn't expecting much more or better than that. On the upside qualification is assured, but when the real tests start coming Englands way, I'm not sure they'll cope.

Enjoyed my outing to Dulwich Hamlet this afternoon. Great game. Good result

2-0 to Dulwich. Needham_Market had a Penalty but it was saved.


Game had real pace.. Better than watching Millwall Hoofing the ball up and down the field.


Was a pay what you like event.. 2417 in attendance. Good to support out local team.

Still at least they won't have to experience of being embarrassed at the finals which is the fate that surely awaits England on the basis of the last two lamentable performances.

They actually let me on 15 minutes later so maybe lowest level.

When we started the Celtic league in Rugby a bit of rivalry started (I remember Gatland stirring it too at one point before a Wales-Ireland international) and that jumped over into football.


The England rivalry is still there - remember the players laughing and cheering when Iceland beat England. An ex England cricket captain did :)

I've been lucky enough to have been down in Cardiff a good few times for the rugby internationals. I love that the stadium is so close to the centre of town. Definitely my favourite venue probably helped by never seeing Ireland lose there (1 draw). One year pre-match me and my brother were invited to a club's private room/bar in a hotel just by chance. I think it was Neath. Pre-match everyone was very friendly and we were invited to return after the game. Well we did return and the game wasn't a draw. None of the buggers would talk to us. Come to think of it, I probably enjoy beating the Welsh even more than the English. Probably something to do with 1972.

Just out interest, how much did you pay? Obviously no problem if you don?t want to disclose.

On current form I wouldn't have any of Liverpool's defence. Smalling plays because I went for 3 at the back with wing backs. Normally would've gone for left-footed Blind but he played mid-week for Holland. I was being kind putting Coutinho in instead of Mkhitaryan...:)

The Irish love Cardiff and usually are welcomed (after the match anyway if not during)


Neath :) My father was from there - it can be 'peculiar'. The Neath rugby team of the 1980/1990s was the then bad boy team of Welsh rugby.

      Advice on dealing with a solicitor who will not use modern means of communication

      By Sue · Posted

      How on earth can someone like this be allowed to continue as a solicitor? Can't be just be struck off, or the equivalent?

      Is the Choumert Road bus stop open yet following the ending of pavement works. Thanks

      By richard tudor · Posted

      There are no road works in front of Cod fellas and yesterday when I requested a stop there the driver went straight past and never stopped untill Avondale Riss. As cars have to stop because of the lights why can busses not do this? 1 minute Bloodly mindedness.

      Advice on dealing with a solicitor who will not use modern means of communication

      By malumbu · Posted

      Thanks all, our hope was (despite the diminishing estate) he would get on with it.  Progress is glacial, it's been two years since probate was granted, that's two cold and damp winters with no heating, and not surprisingly a pipe burst. He's blames the issues on the estate agent, who separately had a dispute with him, he had a wobbly when one of the beneficiaries spoke to the estate agent.  Separately he said it was the family's fault for letting the property get into a poor condition.  It was dated, but certainly not in poor condition. There are two five star reviews on Google, and five one star: ** WARNING** This solicitor firm has to be one of the worst I have encountered. The solicitor is prehistoric in his practices and will carry out work at his own snails pace, the fax machine he uses gets turned off at 2 pm and its near impossible to get him on the phone. STAY AWAY, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED, check the solicitors ombudsman, this firm has previous bad practice recorded.   Disgusting under no circumstances use this solicitor.For over 10 years he has not carried out the terms of a Will he has not re-invested money but has retained it.  He writes letters which are pure "Flannel" excuses for doing nothing.  You have been warned   shocking experience, delayed the whole process, told other side solicitors to not contact him as he feels pressured etc. never use.   Not fit for 21st century. No website, no email address, no electronic transfer. Very slow, very little communication.   Was not a pleasant experience dealing with this firm
