On current form I'd say we are below average. I was so bored watching last night's match that I actually turned away from the TV to do something else. I've never done that before. Ever.


I think I lost it around about the time we'd gone one-nil down and we needed a goal so what does our manager do? He takes off our only striker who made the trip to Turkey.

Can anyone explain how lucky Man U have been recently? Five wins in a row normally doesn't come easily in the PL. Has the overall standard dropped this season? There are only two half decent teams this season, the top two. I'm baffled that United are third as they are just not a team yet.

With European teams speaking out against a move to winter for the WC maybe they and theirs could speak out a little more on this too.

It's much older than that RD. It's always good fun to remember peoples comments and make them accountable. Especially ones that I didn't expect. And Im pretty sure you said Celtic were doing well despite Lennon rather than because of him.


My brother in law said Lennon was a wonker. I'm seeing him at Christmas, I'll have a word with him too.


I'm making friends everywhere this festive season.

You're probably right Mick. I remember at the time that I thought what NL was achieving at Celtic would've been matched or bettered by A.N. Other manager. Good luck to him, I think he needed a change and challenge...

Yeah, that's called sport. Fans of the team in 4th place have every right to expect their best side to run out against the team in 1st. It's called competition innit.

The excitement in Scotlands second league continues. Hibs are on a roll and chasing Rangers for the second promotion spot after their 4-0 win over the Gers today. But Hearts have the winning birth sown up. Hibs probably favourites to come second.


SCSB - happy new year. Ally ran away before the old firm game.

It's also called squad rotation. With 4 games in 10/11 days and then a difficult away FA Cup tie to follow, as a fan I would expect players to be rested, with priority given to the more winnable games...

      Old bottle shop on Whateley Road?

      By tds_ · Posted

      Callout for help from any local experts here. Looking to find out more about the history of the property on the corner of Whateley Road and Ulverscroft road (with the green glazed bricks). Now a residential property, i'm told it was a bottle shop in days gone (the house was built around 1900) by and i'd like to learn more about the history of the business that was once here - name, photos, anything at all really! Seems to be very little from open source research so i'm hoping anyone with history in the area can provide any insight!  Starting here before i contact Southwark Archives or similar orgs to get any information and pictures (any advice here also would be welcome). Thank you

      Portable ramps are available for businesses to use in this sort of situation, aren't they? I don't know whether one would be suitable for use here, or whether they have the space to store one. Lots of people have  permanent or temporary disabilities which mean they have to use crutches or a wheelchair.
