So FIFA awarded the WC to Qatar and now admit to not having the foresight to realise it would be too hot in every respect for it to be played in the Summer. How bad is that for a governing body? Now they want to hold it in the Winter there and want everyone to adapt their seasons accordingly.


I suspect this award in the first place has corruption written all over it and England if no one else should boycott it.

fwiw my alter ego somehow managed to fix the old thread; quite spectacular destruction by D_C, he even managed to demolish the moderator controls. Luckily his post was a reply to gingerbeer's allowing me to hide it by hiding hers, then reinstating hers.


Anyway, we have a shiny new thread so academic really.

Liverpool won't have lost that much as there would've been lots of add-ons in the headline fee. Then again West Ham probably won't be paying the full headline fee. Madrid were apparently looking to buy Bale on the never never, repayments spread over 6 years...el Wonga! :)

Yep, Downing one of the most one dimensional players I've seen....perfect for us then!


Joking aside, I'm semi-positive, Ravel Morrison has score quite a few pre-season, be interesting to see if BFS has rounded the edges of a particularly rough diamond.

Downing is a strange one. He had one absol;utely cracking season at Boro, and has never quite lived up to the potential that I believe he has. Still, I never wanted him at Liverpool, I was gobsmacked at the price we paid, and I'm glad he's off the wage bill. I do wish him luck though, and he and Carroll could do well...

i know what you mean Maxxi but Scott Parker isn't going to solve the striker shortage and to be honest Nolan comes up with his fair share. My highlight of the closed season is (so far) we've still got Diame, for me, a jewel *crosses fingers,toes and testicles*.



edited to correct plural of bollox

Quagliarella on loan would do a job - but I think we're safe too - more I think we'll be top ten again.


Is it prediction time again yet?


Chelsea for the title, Mans U&C next, then a three-way fight between Spurs, Gooners & Liverpool - so far so predictable but I fancy Swansea as an e/w bet.


Palace, Hull, Norwich to go down.

So England v Scotland tonight. I remember when this game really used to mean something especially during the Home internationals. Where are the players of Denis Law, Jimmy Johnstone, Jim Baxter, Kenny Dalglish and Steve Archibald in the Scottish game these days?

Our Under 21s were excellent last night in a six-nil victory over the old enemy and can the big boys do something similar? I'm going for an England two-nil victory.

    • The step means Love Dulwich is not disabled friendly though they went to help someone on  crutches up the step last time we were there  much prefer it as a Turkish than café but maybe not for this group   The noise level might be an issue as it’s all hard surfaces though I don’t recall it being noisy. check out Olivelli the menu has a good range  though it’s not the best Italian you can get. There’s also a step up into Maria’s - much smaller but you need to negotiate the step and door at the same time. Olivelli has more room and if I remember right the toilets are on the ground floor. A consideration if steps are an issue The Lordship might be an option. Noise is not usually an issue. We’ve enjoyed various meals there. The ladies toilets are on the same floor as the tables (the gents may be upstairs). The staff are always friendly
    • It’s about chains, and the ethos of family run business versus unhealthy competition

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
