Seeing as we're now into the final week of the transfer market what and who do you want at your club and what realistically to you expect to happen.


At Spurs our recent record isn't too good after largely wasting most of the Bale money two seasons ago. I expect Daniel Levy will be up to his usual last minute car boot sale bargain hunting tricks or because he's left it too late spunking the lot on a load of shit.


What has been abundantly clear is that we need another striker to accompany Harry Kane so stop fart arsing about and pay the fecking money for Berahino.

Also we're desperate for an experienced holding midfielder. Wanyama could work but would also be very costly prizing him away from Southampton. I'd really like to see some more flair in midfield too. Someone who can spot a pass and chip in with a few goals. I'd happily take Oscar off of Chelsea's hands if he is now surplus to requirements since Pedro's arrival.


Speaking of Chelsea, they pay just ?21 million for a bona fide winner in Pedro but Spurs laid out ?30 million for an inexperienced kid in Lamela two seasons ago and we're still waiting for him to come good. Makes you bloody sick. But that's my club. Too often flattering to deceive.

There have been so many players linked to United it's hardly worth speculating what will happen, if anything. But as you asked, we won't get anyone and Fellani will become our centre forward. Ed Woodward was in Barcelona last week. Not to get Pedro but to get Neymar. Yeah, right. How many players use interest from United as a tool to get a salary increase? If I had a hope it would be that Bale or Ronaldo get fed up with Benitez very quickly and United get one or the other.

From a Spurs point of view Austin is too similar to Kane. We need someone slightly different to play off him, hence our interest in Berahino and our purchase of Clinton Njie both of whom can more easily enable us twiddle with our system allowing us to play 4-3-3 and 4-4-2 instead of continuously playing 4-2-3-1 with Harry isolated up front on his own.


While we're at it. Any takers for the wage thief? Come on, someone must want him.

He does look knackered and I'm not completely against the idea of buying someone like Austin but our recent signing Clinton Njie can play through the middle as well as out wide. Having two out and out centre forwards in the first team means one player is always going to miss out.

Interestingly, FFP seems to have gone out the window.

Pleased with Liverpool's point from last night (would have taken the point before KO). Arsenal did have a good goal disallowed, but also survived the first half by the skin of Chech's teeth. Arsenal better side in the second half, but I know a couple of my Arsenal supporting mates were pleased with a point after 90 minutes.

      Poundland East Dulwich soon to be replaced by Tesco Express

      What is it that makes Waitrose so special! Admittedly I have shopped a couple of times in the Orpington and Beckenham one - sometimes buying food which I cannot get else where. Their 'basic range' is not bad. Price for price and quality - M & S.

      Sometimes a shed or other installation has to have written approval from the freeholder i.e. Southwark, Southwark has (or did have) a Leaseholder Association.   Could also come under Anti Social Behaviour Unit.

      Love Dulwich is great but has a large step in front. We have only been weekdays at Lunch time. Maria's next to Picture House is disabled friendly. Also can reserve table in advance. We did a Sunday lunch catch up with family - there were 8 of us.

      Hi, Thinking about  going with some friends and was just wondering if folk might like to report back please. Most importantly sound level when busy & is it disabled friendly.  Thinking on a Sunday lunchtime but don’t want a busy busy environment or loud chatter - a couple of friends could not cope. Time can be flexible, if that helps - say 2 ish to avoid above.. Thanks…
