The less said about the orcs the better. The pen? Seen them given, Charlie Adam, dirty no good c**t as Spurs know. A draw would have been fair but we didn't do enough to win.

Hard to be gracious when you've been beaten by a dubious pen and you've had a player stamped on and it goes unpunished. I hope Adam finally gets an FA charge. I'm sure Jah would agree with me on that one.

Definitely a stamp. Adams continues to get away this sort of thing. He is one dirty bastard.

Interesting to see if the FA does anything

About bloody time. The dirty bastard has been getting away with it for far too long. Pity they won't take previous evidence into account as well.

There's certainly no shortage of it is there.

Sol Campbells recent comments regarding being overlooked for the England captaincy on the grounds of race I find interesting and I for one think there may be more than a grain of truth in what he says. I also found Patrick Barclays comments in yesterdays Evening Standard regarding the subject a little strange. He stated that he felt Sol often mumbled during pressers and monosyllabic in his responses, and therefore not up to the task. Ok so on that basis Terry and Gerrard are latter day wordsmiths on a par with Shakespeare and Wordsworth. As for the FA stating that the timing of his comments were unfortunate is also strange. Clearly they feel there is a right and wrong time to talk about racism. FA definitely stands for F*ck All.

When you look at Owen and Beckham being picked as Captain ahead of him you do wonder if there is something in what he says


But then you think about it a bit more and Gerrard and Terry do have leadership qualities and have a record of geeing up their teams.


Whereas Campbell went walkabout in the middle of a game against West Ham fercrissakes!


so to call the FA racist is brain-dead behaviour

Judas complains too much and always wants to blame it on race. Now I fully appreciate there aren't enough black managers in the game but that is down to the owners who employ them. He was a fine commanding centre half but I don't think he was a strong enough character to have captained England more than he did. (Remember his lost weekend?) Basically, he's a two-faced cunt with a massive chip on his shoulder. As well as himself, Paul Ince and Rio Ferdinand have also captained England so for me it doesn't stand up.

Wow what a reaction!! I do remember the West Ham game but that towards the end of his career. This mand was called a Rolls Royce of a player my many during his time, but the fact that Terry continued to be courted by England after the Ferndinand episode speaks volumes to me.

I think the FA are alluding to the fact that Campbell's comments have come out at the same time as his new book.

Why didn't Campbell mention any of this at the height of the Terry/Ferdinand storm.

I agree that there is no wrong or right time, but his publicists and accountants obviously do...

Granted, but I still think that, regardless of the commercial interests, the FA's track record is less than perfect in many, many respects.

I was going to post about this today but been busy.


I think Campbell has made himself look a bit sily here, and players like Barnes and Ince have said it's a nonsense. People may have taken it a bit more seriously if he hadn't claimed he could have been captain for 10 years, which is utter rubbish.


I agree that certain players would not have been picked ahead of him for footballing reasons (Owen), but in this day and age it's not all about football, and Owen was the golden boy.


I think people are being harsh on Beckham saying he was picked just for his fame. I remember watching more than one England match when he was THE ONLY man in an England shirt running for every ball and trying. He always cared, which is more than can be said for a lot of the other players in the last 10 - 15 years.


I like Campbell, but I think he'll probably regret this particular effort to flog his book as it's backfired on him, and not a single black player (that I've seen) has come out and agreed with him.

      Injured fox on Crawthew Grove

      By Jenijenjen · Posted

      Just seen the limping fox in my garden in North Cross Road. Didn't stay for long but looks alert, curious, lively, in good condition, apart from limp very healthy. Of course, having the an injured limb is not ideal but I wonder if stressing him/her by trying to catch it, which will be very difficult, is the best course of action.

      Fireworks

      By kbabes · Posted

      It’s illegal to let off fireworks in a public place, there were kids in Peckham Rye Park wearing hoods & masks letting off fireworks around 5pm yesterday & generally acting menacing..  loads of people walking dogs at the time along with families & kids using the park!  I reported to the police but as usual nobody turned up! Suggest anyone who is fed up with this antisocial behaviour make sure it’s reported, the more reports the better, hopefully then something will be done.   At the moment they just know they can get away with it!

      Police appeal: Monday, 25 August – Assault between the junction of Lordship Lane and Chesterfield Grove at around 16:45hrs

      By beansprout · Posted

      As I age, I understand a lot more about community spirit and people’s fear in the current climate of going to the assistance of a person in need. Yes, this might in part be aged related but is also driven by not wishing or wanting to help but a combination of self preservation and yes, fear of what the attacker might do or even worse get stabbed or physically assaulted.  Whilst it would be great to have more police presence to reassure community and hopefully act as a deterrent to people whose aim is to rob people or home and attack people, due to the cutbacks and not sure about my next comment but lack of police officers in general and reduce number of recruits, let’s face it - we as a community should step up to protect our community and assist police. Years ago, I attended one of these evening meeting with the local police officers - turn out was less than a dozen local residents. Yes, was in the evening when a lot of families were dealing with homework, feeding, after school activities and obviously there are housebound people and older members of the community who understandably would not wish to come out. I believe that to address this, the church at the top of Barry Road near the library have over the last couple of years advertised  and organised day time meeting with two local police officers responsible for the area to address issues concerning the local community. What  happened in daylight might as mentioned above been in part caused by an individual with possible mental health problems - the point is we should all feel safe on our streets in London and without doubt if you read the news, seems like stabbing, assault is now just the norm - a reflection of modern day society in any large town in the UK. If memory serves me correctly, not related to assault but was not someone stabbed a couple of years ago near the junction with the organic shop? And I believe mentioned recently someone died in the local community from an assault. Would be good to have an update from the police or someone known to the individual attacked.  I was in East Dulwich just last week talking to a friend in Barry Road and was surprised to see two bobbies walking along the road in broad daylight so now having heard about the assault can only assume police presence has been increased.
