And in 1990...low expectations after Euro 1988 and guess what, a semi final - but then they had Gazza in 1990 (and in 96 too)

What the league table would look like if only English goals were allowed. Look who gets relegated.

Spoken like a true Sperz fan. He's been decent this eason and should have been on the stand by list.

Problem is, I don't think he has a conscience...

Or he lacks adequate man management skill, or financial acumen or both.

Odd, there doesn't seem to be any discussion on who is replacing Pepe Mel. Does anyone know anything about David Moyes, or Tim Sherwood? They seem quite decent fellers but have also failed at their respective clubs.


Perhaps I'd best get onto a Manchester and a North London forum to seek advice (yes I do know that there is a certain sense of irony before you lot all get excited)

Pepe Mel? A Peppermint could manage West Brom better. Good luck in your search. There's a lot of work to be done there.


I've said before that Levy is culpable. You can't keep sacking managers left right and centre. He reminds me of Mr Burns out of The Simpsons. We need stability at the club and we haven't had that during his reign as chairman.


Sherwood should get his coaching badges first before thinking of becoming a manager again though apparently Brighton have already expressed an interest in taking him on after parting company with Garcia.


I'd quite like Frank De Boer at the club but again he is someone who lacks Premiership experience and I'm fed up with flavour of the month managers. I think Mauricio Pochettino could be the one to get the job but again his "success" at Southampton was largely built on a squad of players that was already at the club. There is a good squad of players at Spurs, they just need the right man in charge who can work hand in glove with the chairman and DOF.|


Edited to say: I'd get rid of the Director Of Football as well. Wasted far too much money on too many foreign players untested in the Premier League.

      Excellent Carpenter Recommendation - Greg

      By Laura AC · Posted

      Another recommendation for Greg.  He provided excellent service - fast response, quote and then fitting the job in.  The inbuilt wardrobes he made are of a very high quality and he was a pleasure to work with.  Helped us with some additional shelving and a broken floorboard too.  Highly recommend!

      Plumber recommendation - Andy Burke

      By Ryeman · Posted

      I would also like to recommend Andy for plumbing. I had a leak under my kitchen tap and he was able to visit and resolve the issue in the same day. Prompt and efficient service and very professional.

      Tessa Jowell centre car park.

      By Penguin68 · Posted

      It's about ensuring it's the medical facilities you are accessing, hence the sign-in actually in Tessa Jowell. And I think there are visual as well as camera checks, after all a number of people drive in and out of the car park to drop patients off. Clearly they are not parked up, so it's not relevant if they are fleetingly on camera. It's only those actually parked who need to identify themselves as patients.

      Leaves on East Dulwich streets

      By Katherty · Posted

      Thanks CPR Dave for the link to Southwark's leaf cleaning schedule. Good to see that.   I think that what may have happened was the leaves weren't cleared during the scheduled week for Whateley Road, which was w/c 17 November.  Then they were cleared a couple of weeks ago instead. We have been here through all of autumn,  and there has been a steady build-up of leaves on this stretch since October.  At one point there was a deep layer to wade through. The photos I posted were from 17 December, and as you can see,  the leaves had been trampled and compressed into the ground. It looked a lot worse at times.   Lots of school kids from the primary school walk up and down this pavement.   In case this happens next year,  I have found a contact page about streets https://www.southwark.gov.uk/parking-streets-and-transport/contact-us-about-transport-and-roads - so I could ask them what their plans are.
