Did you watch the video RD? there were some fantastic goals that WERE recorded. I was surprised at how many quality goals there were, albeit over a long career.

He was two footed RD. I remember one goal against Leicester City (not in the edit) in 1968 where he left four players on their arse and rounded a young Peter Shilton that was as good if not better than the ones in the edit. Oh and he got a hat-trick that day too. His third of the season. Scored four in a cup-tie four days later too where the headline in the paper the next day that I remember clearly was Four Goals Can't Equal One Cap. There was a big push to get him back in the England team ("Jimmy For England") but Ramsey wasn't having it despite the fact he'd again finished as top scorer in the country with 36 goals that season.

The Telegraph had an article today looking back to a frozen Maine Road of 9 December 1967 when Man City beat Spurs 4-1. It was a performance that led City to believe they could win the league after 30 odd years. Ballet on ice.


And I just checked today's result....

I could of course once my older brother explained how league tables worked. It was goal average in those days Mick so a lot of maths was involved. There was a classic league cup semi-final over two legs with City that year I think. City won I know. Anyway my name is Alan here. I'm old.

Indeed - lots of Shearer-like "where's the sack Sam brigade now?" fishermen around as usual.


Cresswell and Jenkinson going really well (surely Wenger must be regretting the loan?) along with Sakho and Valencia - I would even go so far as to suggest CC has been transformed a tad by being in a glut of strikers rather than just being a Carroll replacement - never seen him with so much energy and enthusiasm.


When Carroll recovers (sigh) sell and use cash to buy some back-ups or try him in actual game?


And okay, last 2 games WERE only QPR and Burnley - still nice to look down on gooners, spurs, Liverpool etc..

I considered it a bad move to sack him for a long time. Perhaps Shearer is me-like as I haven't heard his opinion on the subject. It's you WH fans on here who should be eating a bit of pie/cake.


Did anyone see the picture of Steve Bruce taken on the tube yesterday after the game? Trying to catch a train to Manchester to get to BFS's party.

      Advice on dealing with a solicitor who will not use modern means of communication

      By Rockets · Posted

      Have you complained to the solicitor directly and did they respond within the 8 weeks they have under their code of conduct - I presume they have and this is why you have escalated further to the SRA? If he doesn't respond in a timely fashion per the SRA code of conduct then I am sure they will need to take action.

      Where can you smell Wood Burning stoves in East Dulwich

      By CPR Dave · Posted

      What a bunch of ignorant nimbies.  Their own tweet conspicuously ignores the actual content of their own article FFS. Immediately after the incorrect paragraph quoted about it being unlawful to burn coal wood etc they sit out the actual position:   "However, the use of authorised smokeless fuels in an open fireplace is allowed, as well as burning smoke-generating fuels in an approved stove or burner."   leaving that out is as thick as flying into the amazon rainforest on a private jet to attend Cop 31 thus week.

      UPDATE FOUND!!

      By TWB Cat Sitter · Posted

      I had to pull this cat back from speeding traffic as she was almost clipped - TWICE -  by passing motorbikes on Underhill Rd. Needless to say, I was seething that anyone would let this cat out onto the streets, specially a street that I struggle to cross myself. When I initially approached her, I thought she had already been injured. By some miracle, she wasn't, she was just paralyzed by fear. Do NOT let this cat out onto the streets.

      Advice on dealing with a solicitor who will not use modern means of communication

      By CPR Dave · Posted

      Are there any other executors? Is the solicitor a soke practioner or part of a firm? Are you and your fellow beneficiaries behaving well?  You will want to take proper  legal advice (which this is not) but you can have an executor removed by the court if they are refusing to communicate with you. I would just do that. Tell him you are doing it, tell him you have reported him to the Law Society (if you have) and tell him you will be challenging his fees with the legal services ombudsman. This all sounds outrageous to me and this solicitor doesn't sound fit to practice. Three years sounds far too long for a low value estate comprising mostly of a house. He should have sold that or rented it out whilst he was waiting to administer the estate.    Sounds like he has cost you all a lot of money.
