I wish I had your optimism!

Unless you support LFC, in which case you probablky gave up on it weeks ago.


I do wish the press would refrain from telling us that a club has approached a club about a player. Gets our hopes up that we might get a player that can score a goal, and then the hopes are dashed. Meanwhile other clubs that didn't have said player on their radar go "oh look, Liverpool have spotted a good'n, let's sign him in the summer".

Leicester have Arsenal and City next. Don't think those matches will necessarily decide the title, but if Leicester can take 4 points from them, they'll be on the charge with real belief.


I totally want Leicester to win the league, and if not them, then City to win it for their outgoing manager (thought it was nice to hear his players saying they love playing for him and want to win some trophies for him this season).

I read that yesterday. I love that Liverpool have the question "Why are Liverpool so bad?" as one of theirs.

Was a trip down memory lane. I'd forgotten some of those players altogether. Just highlights how many rubbish signings Liverpool made again and again, whilst Man United were signing star after star for less money than LFC were paying for total shite.

Stars like Bebe and Djemba Djemba, the man so bad they named him twice. ;-)

Yes, but you haven't scored for 3 games or won in five, against lesser teams than Leicester.


You might be defensively pretty sound, but will you be happy with a 0-0 at home?


Barring an injury to Mahrez, Leicester will win it now I think. They have a potentially tough last three games (United away, Everton home and Chelsea away) but we've been talking about their 'tough' games where they'll slip up all season. And they keep brushing them aside.


Anyway, let's talk about Dele Alli. 5 goals and 5 assists in his last 11 league games. Nailed on for Goal of the Season and Young Player of the Year. And now, according to a respected Swiss football research centre (used by FIFA, UEFA and top European clubs) he's the most valuable teenager in European football, by a distance. Link below.


All this for a 19 year old that was playing third tier last season.

Indeed. Spurs will get good money for him when he leaves this summer.

Thankfully, I know you're just winding Titch up, Otta. Last season it was Harry Kane. Hopefully, both and the majority of the current Spurs squad will be around to grow and enjoy success together for a long time to come.


I've developed a bit of a man crush on Dele Alli. He really is something else. Probably my favourite Spurs player since Teddy Sherringham.

Bournemouth 0 - Arsenal 2, we've put that right

No I won't but I think we'll beat them at our place.

They are favourites , it's theirs to lose

My view is that its never easy to get over the line when you haven't won it before or even for a while - as Newcastle under Keegan showed, and Man United under Ferguson and Arsenal under George Graham. Even big leads can disappear, confidence goes, nerves kick in (Newcastle could hardly string a pass together in the matches after the 4-3 defeat to Liverpool). I thought Arsenal had blown it in 1989. Experience counts for a lot in the run in and "giving" anyone the title before April is silly.

    • I would also like to recommend Andy for plumbing. I had a leak under my kitchen tap and he was able to visit and resolve the issue in the same day. Prompt and efficient service and very professional. 
    • It's about ensuring it's the medical facilities you are accessing, hence the sign-in actually in Tessa Jowell. And I think there are visual as well as camera checks, after all a number of people drive in and out of the car park to drop patients off. Clearly they are not parked up, so it's not relevant if they are fleetingly on camera. It's only those actually parked who need to identify themselves as patients. 
    • Thanks CPR Dave for the link to Southwark's leaf cleaning schedule. Good to see that.   I think that what may have happened was the leaves weren't cleared during the scheduled week for Whateley Road, which was w/c 17 November.  Then they were cleared a couple of weeks ago instead. We have been here through all of autumn,  and there has been a steady build-up of leaves on this stretch since October.  At one point there was a deep layer to wade through. The photos I posted were from 17 December, and as you can see,  the leaves had been trampled and compressed into the ground. It looked a lot worse at times.   Lots of school kids from the primary school walk up and down this pavement.   In case this happens next year,  I have found a contact page about streets https://www.southwark.gov.uk/parking-streets-and-transport/contact-us-about-transport-and-roads - so I could ask them what their plans are.  
    • Amrutha is excellent, unless you are died in the wool meat and two veg most will find the food to their taste and it certainly isn't a place that expects you to be a sandal wearing vegan. Recommend Matoon too, there are many great places in SE23, SE4 and SE26 if you get chance to get on a bus. Don't have takeaways very often and would only do this when they employ their own delivery people due to all the issues with the slave labour that is Deliveroo and the like (and numerous other issues).  Yes it is a different thread but I can't stop myself reminding people.
