http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-3070820/Graham-Taylor-told-no-uncertain-terms-FA-officials-not-pick-black-players-England.html


Graham Taylor denies that he was told by FA to limit the number of black players he picked. Taylor responded*:


"My record speaks for itself. I picked shit players for England regardless of their colour - I mean, I picked both Geoff Thomas and Keith Curle - QED"


*not really

He seems more annoyed that this 'private' conversation is in a book - than the fact that it never happened...


'I?m so annoyed about it. They?ve gone ahead ? as I understand it, what I?ve said to them privately has just got out. Or what I?m accused of saying to them privately, which I deny and can?t remember it, they?ve gone out publicly and said it and yet they?re saying themselves it was said to them privately. Oh it?s very private then to publish a book about it, isn?t it?'


Never the best communicator wasn't Graham.

Alan Dunne has been a bit of a liability as of late. Receiving red cards for rash decisions.


Also making silly mistakes resulting in goals being conceded and fracas with David Forde.


Neil Harris has released 18 players from the Millwall squad.


Carlos Edwards, Ricardo Fuller, Danny Shittu , Martyn Woolford , Nicky Bailey, Matthew Briggs, Richard Chaplow,


Magaye Gueye, Justin Hoyte, Stefan Maierhofer and Angel Martinez .. all gone..



Youngsters Dylan Casey, Sofiane El-Bekri, Denzel Gerrar, Jake Goodman, Josh Siafa and Callum Webb


will also depart the club.


Will be a new team next season.

Apparently Camweon said he got confused as he'd been past Upton Park earlier that day but he was a solid Villa fan who used to go with his uncle. What he failed to mention was he'd been past Upton Park n a helicopter and his uncle used to own Aston Villa!

He probably supports Burnley too.


Asked how he felt after that gaff he said "He felt like kicking himself harder than a Benteke shot". He's obviously been briefed and even knows a player now.

Jimmy Greaves by John Hegley


It's not much of a planet

that everybody leaves

there's not a lot of faith about

but I am someone who believes

that what we need without a doubt

is more of Jimmy Greaves

imagine Jimmy's picture in every picture frame

imagine all religion praising Jimmy's name

the world is just a candle

and Jimmy Greaves is the flame

won't you gimme Jimmy

it used to be his turn of speed.

he left defences in a daze

now he rents his turn of phrase

and when I turn on the TV

and Jimmy's there

my spirits raise

and when I'm in a blazing row

and I'm in the process of rolling up my sleeves

I just think of Greavsie and he relieves me

more and more of Greavsie

is what this country needs

he's the man to sow the seeds of sanity

he's off the booze he's on the ball

he's got a message for us all

he can help humanity

to heal itself

to haul itself

from this self-destructive stupor

he's what you call a trooper

I think he's blinking super

he's a tooper super duper

so please don't give me Henry Cooper

he isn't Jimmy Greaves

people say that I'm loopy

they think I'm nothing

but a Greavsie groupie

but I tell them

you're not fit to wash

Jimmy Greaves' moustache.

    • I have a rescue Spanish greyhound (galgo) from the charity mentioned above. You can contact Greyhounds in Need or one of the more local Kent greyhound rescue charities. They are fantastic family dogs. They do love walkies 2 or 3 times a day but they actually don't need to be walked too far and then they will happily loaf around on the sofa being very chill. They are brilliant with kids but not recommended if you own a cat as they have a strong prey drive. They also should be kept on the lead in local parks. They prefer to be around other sight-hounds (well my one does) and there are loads of local sighthound owners in Peckham, Crystal Palace etc and a very lively WhatsApp group that is brilliant if you need dog sitting as you can usually find someone to do that for free in return for you looking after the dog at a later date etc.
    • @Jenijenjen I assure you we are always polite and friendly too! Which is why the behaviour we have been receiving is so frustrating. The kids always leave her with a “Thank you have a lovely day”  Our concern is leaving the gate slightly wedged doesn’t stop the action of slamming it open and closed…still leading to damage  
    • If you're talking about who I think you are, I find them more exuberant than rude and usually smiling and polite. But then, I'm usually smiling and polite to them. Can you not wedge open your gate when you're expecting them?
    • It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face.
