The old Home Internationals were not much more than friedlies where teams tried out their squad players - but when it came to Scotland England it was different. First teams and pride at stake.


Not that I care much as a neutral, but I'd like to see Scotland give a good account of themselves.

of course i did watch it (after I had seen what they were going to do with all that lamb on Masterchef - Boning and rolling that shoulder!... it was NEVER going to cook on time) and was pleasantly surprised. Loved the hustle and the confidence - always hassling the Scots and seeming to have lost that nervousness that has typified England. They wanted it more than the opposition.


This could be the starting line up for any game - regardless - dawn of a new era etc. no players with the old Billy-big-bollox attitude (even Wellbeck and Rooney seem to be playing with the team rather than for themselves) and some great young potential.


Shame the opposition wasn't up to much.

Not getting tooooo carried away with England's good performance as the Scots were probably hungover from their exertions against Ireland.

Standouts for me were Clyne and Shaw looking very good at FB, and Wellbeck and Rooney who ran the Scottish defence ragged. Wilshere almost Scholesque with some of his passing (he pinged some good balls in the Slovenia game too).

Only low point was picking Downing and playing him out wide where he lost his effectiveness years ago...

The thing with that is if England aren't any good, doesn't say much for the Scots, not that I'm fussed either way.

Is Mario out with a hamstring? If so, that just leaves Borini and Lambert, you never know, they might work...

      Man and van service - Joseph

      By missanhd · Posted

      I cannot speak highly enough about my experience with Yousef and his team for my recent house move in East Dulwich. Downsizing and relocating  my stuff from a house to a flat was made a calm and pleasant experience. The move included large and heavy items of furniture, taking items apart and reassembling in the new place, as well as loads of boxes. Nothing was too much trouble. I can thoroughly recommend this service, you will not be disappointed!

      Who is taking the Tile Giant site?

      By DulwichParker · Posted

      Just seen that a lease has been agreed for the Tile Giant site next to Toolstation at the Grove Tavern end of Lordship Lane. Does anyone have the inside scoop on who has taken the lease?

      Awful experience at GMs hairdressers :(

      By Vik · Posted

      The GM's in Dulwich has been gone for around 3 years, so the most recent post must be about the Crystal Palace branch, I presume the same staff moved over? I've been going to Tash at Kuki for a while, never had a problem.
