Ozil will flourish with Sanchez in the side, Wilshire equally will benefit from having such a quality player in the side.

Let's just hope he doesn't misuse them like he did Cole - he's the kind of man who uses an expensive cordless drill to bang in nails.

So Valencia signed - looking forward to him and Z?rate doing something different up front to waiting for crosses/long balls.


Didn't think I would be looking forward to the new season with BFS still IC but willing to believe a buffoon can - if not change his spots - at least stay sat on his arse and be content to take home his massively inflated wage packet and not interfere with the team but rather let his players do what they do best.

Lampard left it open, but I very much hope he won't be selected again.


To be fair to Gerrard I don't think there was really anyone else for the job at this WC, but glad he's decided to bow out, push an extra couple of seasons of PL football out of his legs, and let someone else do it for England.


Only problem is that someone else is likely to be Rooney.

Ben davies medical done and passed, in talks for Vorm as a no.2 keeper.


Schneiderlin issuing a come and get me plea, possibly alongside Rodriguez.


Hopeful punt on Griezmann although much more likely to go to a champions league side.


Wouldn't mind Micah Richards on loan.

agreed- hoever he was sitting as number two at swansea after they brought flappy-handski in. Strange move for me as Vorm is decent. Will happily take him as back up if he's happy to be. Good keeper for the Europa League and league cup i suppose!

I make you right Quids. Rooney will suffer bruised ego syndrome as he will have to play second fiddle to Van Pussy, who will be teacher's pet. His agent will soon be on the blower to the press and Man Utd hierarchy saying his client isn't happy.


Vorm is an excellent keeper and should keep Lloris on his toes for a first team spot. Happy about the Davies deal, we've been in need of a decent left-back for some time now. Hopefully, he'll continue to improve along with last season's buys (flops) who should improve after their year's experience in the Premiership. I think Soldado will come good this year and hopefully Lamela too.


Having said that I think Spurs will again finish outside the top four. 5th for me but hopefully a bit of silverware.

Radio 5 says Brian Robson and many others suggest Rooney should be captain, "because he's England's best player and he has the experience". Tosh.


England need to choose a natural leader and look around for types like Butcher, Adams, Robson, Terry.


And as we see in other sports, eg the choice of Will Carling for England rugby, these leaders are obvious from a young age. Don't choose someone just because they have been there when England have failed many times before.

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
