A lot of people said, even before Fergie retired, that the time to be Utd's manager was after the first one.

If I was a Spurs fan I would be worried about his general nagative demeanour and playing style, Spurs like Utd have an attacking tradition. Noises coming from OT is that he was more concerned about how to stop the opposition than Utd going forward. He was a defender as a player, I think it's just the way he is and he won't change.

I can see him going abroad to get out of the limelight like Steve Maclaren did, or maybe Celtic if Lennon moves south...

Celtic have an attacking tradition too - so no thanks.

No really, well I never did, you're so well up on these things aren't you? So back to the question then. Van Gaal was never likely to go to Spuds while he had a hole in his arse is the most likely response.

Rafa plays boring football and doesn't change things (especially not in a positive way) when things need changing. I know he's much loved at Liverpool, and I think he's a good man, but his footy didn't do much for me.


Yes the champs league win was incredibly exciting, but he can hardly be credited with masterminding a second half come back from being 3-0 down.

The same could be said of Tim Sherwood at Spurs. A clueless twonk in my opinion. Good luck to Giggs though.


He may not be the chosen one but he is the one who chooses to shag his brother's wife.

Giggs has two important advantages over Sherwood- been at the club all his life and would have the respect of everyone. Guardiola anyone?

      Fireworks

      By Happyme5 · Posted

      Ohh dear.  Fireworks can be great fun.  Where I used to live the kids would have firework wars/games.  Watching them was more enjoyable than watching  TV. (Which you could hardly hear due to the pops and bangs).  It's not like anyone/anything could stop them. I would still prefer organised public displays that are affordable.   And I agree that fireworks cause problems for wild life, pets and people.   It seems to be one of those things that just happens so we have to put up with it.  But it is still not as problematic here as in other areas in London - that's for sure.

      Phone box in front of Oru...

      By NewWave · Posted

      Ugly...maybe..does it bother me..NO! I think its somehow reassuring to see theres still phoneboxes around. East Dulwich may  be getrified but there may well be some elderly people who don't have mobiles and kids who may have lost theirs adults ditto etc etc. I'd rather keep it than lose it...just because i don't use it does'nt mean its not needed.  there are many eyesores in the modern world not all of them as potentially useful.

      Balayage Salon in Lordsip Lane.

      By mimi1 · Posted

      I strongly recommend Balayage salon in Lordship lane as everytime I visit,they make me feel very spicial with thier profisionalism and care.   I have been going there for the last 10 years maybe more, and will never exchange them for any other. They are profisional, welcoming and they also always have an offer. I feel like a new woman every time. X
