Apart from AY being shot this week, a lot of stuff about United seems to be focusing on how boring they are to watch. This appears to come from the Moyes watchers who are awaiting the fall of the Empire. In my opinion United have for the most part been boring in CL matches away from home for some time now when it was more a case of ensuring they didn't lose than having to win. Not attractive to watch, though I actually thought this weeks game was one of their better ones.


As I'm not an avid watcher of other teams in the CL, do you think most group matches are more of an endurance test than entertainment?

Er. No they didn't. Not a poppy in site.

It's a shame that county decided to fold to the lowest of your fans knowing that a silence would be spoilt.

Pretty poor week for the reputation of 'the greatest fans in the world'.

You'd think they'd still respect the dead to be honest. I think that was a poor decision.

Maybe an interesting history lesson for some. Without the famine there may not have been a Glasgow Celtic or indeed Hibernian or Dundee United in Scotland. I'm not advocating disrespecting the dead of the great wars but there are historical reasons involved that make it a complex question as to why some choose to. Personally I think people should be able to keep quiet for a minute as a mark of respect to those who it means something to.


I can't explain the following though:

    • My memory, admittedly not very reliable these days, places the shop on the block on the left hand side just before Burgess Park going towards Camberwell. Have also found a reference to Franklins Antiques being located at 157 Camberwell Road which is on that block. This is a screen shot obtained from Google maps of that address which accords with my memory except the entrance door was on the right hand side, where the grey door is, rather than in the centre.
    • The MFI was probably where Iceland is now. This post makes me feel very old - went to a 30th birthday party in the garden at the back. Oh to be 30 again! 
    • Anyone upgraded their TV for Christmas?! I'm looking for a smallish Smart TV I can use with earbuds. Not more than 56cm high and  25cm deep. A 26" one used to fit.  Thanks!
    • It wasn't an antique and bric-a-bac shop but an antique market with a number of different traders, the cafe supported all the dealers in bringing in custom, and was good enough to generate trade for them. It was Rodney Franklin's and his partners enterprise, he previously had an antique shop in Queenstown Road in Battersea. His late wife ran the cafe (she was a very fine actress, it was a 'resting' job).  It was on the corner of a junction on the left as you head towards Camberwell. And almost opposite, if memory serves at all, an MFI style furniture outlet.
