I think it's good that West Ham can mix it up by either keeping it on the ground or hitting the big man. Swansea aren't a tall, strong, physical side, so hitting more long balls to Carroll made sense, and paid dividends. That won't work against every team, think it might on the 28th though ;-)...

Have to agree - the problem was always that BFS had ONE idea, one plan and one route to goal and no plan B. Ironically (given his talent) the only proper route-one goal was Sakho's. Just hope we can hang onto him. Worry for me is the Nolan/Carroll brand may take over when we lose Sakho, Song and Kouyate in Jan for the Africa Nations Cup.


Great crosses from Jenkinson btw - Wenger must be glad he kept Chambers.

Refs are making strange decisions regarding the advantage rule this season. During the City v Everton game, a City player was fouled slightly, remained on his feet still in possession and control of the ball, and unimpeded played a pass to another City player who then played a crappy pass that went straight to an Everton player. The ref pulled it back to the original foul presumably because he felt no advantage had been gained. How much advantage do they need?...

West Ham fans getting overjoyed a third of the way through the season beacuse of their lofty position, yet forget they have been the butt of jokes for years. Make the most of it, it won't last.

Probably because he hadn't been denied a goalscoring chance.

Ally McCoist offers his resignation from Rangers

Ally McCoist has offered his resignation as Rangers manager, BBC Scotland understands.


But, as it stands, he will be in charge for Friday evening's Scottish Championship fixture against Queen of the South - until told otherwise.


The 52-year-old has a 12-month rolling contract with the Glasgow club, who have yet to comment officially.


So either the club pays his salary up in full, comes to a settlement, or keep him in place for the next 12 months.


It is believed that the players have not yet been informed.



(That sort of assumes the players don't have access to the internet)

      Excellent Christmas meal at Franklins!

      By civilservant · Posted

      thanks Jenijenjen and all - yes, i remember walking or taking the bus from the elephant (where i was working) to Camberwell to get there.  I think Tim - who's still at Franklin's -  was there in those days, and the woman who ran the cafe!  Other food places that i remember fondly are the ones in Neal's Yard (with the Hunkin sculpture that you could put a coin in ) and the basement lunch place at the Tottenham Court Road junction with Hanway Street...

      Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertised  times. Hope you got it sorted x

      Be careful in local shops

      By Sue · Posted

      People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.

      Adapted not forced.  As have numerous species around the world.  Sort of thing that Attenborough features.  Domestic dogs another good example - hung around communities for food and then we become the leader of the pack.  Not sure how long it will take foxes to domesticate, but some will be well on their way.    Raccoons also on the way https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1j8j48e5z2o
