This. I was disappointed....last night was by far the worst Scotland have played in about 11 games.

But it's true though no? England's last WC campaign is best forgotten. And even Saturday v Slovenia...that first half was not anything like how they played last night.


In relative terms England are playing far worse than their average standard historically. Scotland also (although much improved since dire Bertie Voghts era).

It might be true (it is), but it's still the bitter parting shot of a sore loser.

We're not having much luck with injuries in all positions.

Ditto, Saturday is going to be the battle of the walking wounded...

The recent appointment of Malky Mackay is very distasteful. Yet another example of a chairman and the FA having no clue as to what is and isn't acceptable in the modern world. I can't help feeling the black players at Wigan are probably uncomfortable at best and betrayed at worst. Trouble is Scudamore got off, and Mackays lawyers will no doubt cite that in any case brought against him.

      Stolen mobile phones - where do they go?

      By ianr · Posted

      Thanks very much for that.   I think the better informed we are, the better our discussions will be. The article contained: "That arrest had quite an impact on the [phone theft] numbers for the following month,” said Green.  Here's another indicator, admittedly a piece of police PR,  of how well-targeted police efforts, mostly invisible to us,  can when successful  seriously affect offending figures: https://news.met.police.uk/news/met-police-drive-down-theft-and-robbery-by-84-percent-in-battersea-and-nine-elms-500495.

      Another excellent article from Jim Waterson's London Centric reporting https://www.londoncentric.media/p/kitchen-foil-and-algerian-markets?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email Interesting that there seem to be favoured and repeated routes for phone snatching for particular thieves.  Seems ED might be one of them ☹️

      Clapham to Dulwich Advice

      By malumbu · Posted

      Anywhere near the Overground/Windrush due to its excellent transport links.  You will get larger place in SE23 for example that will give you enough spare cash for private school if that's what you really want but states schools generally good, reflecting the demographic  Easy to get to the bustling streets of East Dulwich but in ten years see what happens to Forest Hill centre.  The whole of the area is full of green spaces. Access to East Croydon for days out in the South Coast
