Could have used that description for Steve Perryman back in the day. A born leader. One cap for England and that towards the end of his career.

Also apply that to the Romford Pele, Ray Parlour, loved his fight and spirit.

Agree that England should take Carroll if he's fit, if not, Lambert instead. I didn't think Rooney and Sturridge clicked at all the other night, and time is short to see if they eventually do, so a plan B is definitely needed.

Don't know what's happened to Cleverley. For a period of about 6 months around the time Utd beat Arsenal 8 2, he was on fire, not sure if he then got injured, but since then he's fallen off a cliff. At the moment he doesn't even merit getting into Utd's squad...

Blimey, I agree with you RD.

Normally I would agree about the compo, I'm sure there's precedent, but I think this situation is a little complicated because Wilshire clearly played on with the injury (14mins to 58mins). My guess is that the player wanted to play on. By doing so, did this aggravate the injury?...

Even the most one eyed Manc couldn't justify Cleverley at the moment...

wot otta said.

It is a different world and following Daley's inspirational example I reckon the wider reaction will be positive.

If his team mates do likewise then they should be fine, though I suspect he'll get a mauling from some opposition players and opposition fans.


Effing gutter press, threatening/blackmailing people for exclusives as if who someone boffs is newsworthy*, cunts!!!


*unless of course it's ryan boffing his sister in law ;)

Maybe, but where's the FA's duty of care? Surely it's up to the the manager decide and the medical staff to give guidance to him?

    • I've been there for lunch a few times and the home cooked asian food (as part of Sweat Dreams cafe) is genuinely great and a must try. I think the food side of the business has been slow to be noticed but people are now realising what is actually hidden in plain sight.  As for the Aroma Lab coffee ... it is excellent, they are very welcoming and friendly (and unpretentious!). This Australian coffee snob is mightily impressed!!  
    • Do you mean put out things like live mealworms for the parents to feed to the young? Or that the parents will eat the food you put out and therefore can save "wild" live food for the young rather than eating it themselves? On another matter, several weeks ago I moved my bird feeders to another part of my (very small) garden because the area they were in was totally scratched up by pigeons, and I lost several plants I had had for decades and was very fond of 😭 It is now just bare earth with no plants,  and I've got to start again. And block up a fox hole in one corner. I suspect the foxes are tunnelling beneath the garden, as there are several holes. I hope the ground doesn't suddenly collapse beneath me! I cleaned everything and put in fresh seed, but so far all that has visited the new area (that I have actually seen)  is one rather fat sparrow. And a cat. Sitting hopefully beneath the feeders 🤬 No goldfinches (I have a niger seed feeder and have seen the occasional goldfinch in the garden) and no tits, though I've heard both blue tits and great tits nearby. Plus the flock of sparrows who used to come and seem to have deserted the garden. Hopefully they will find the feeders. I've cut back some of the greenery, which doesn't help, as they have less shelter. 
    • So when will we find out? Is it going to be a big reveal on some specified day? If not, why can't you tell us now?! (I'm presuming you mean the new boss of Franklins. It would be too much to hope for that the Palmerston had a miraculous return to one of its better past incarnations. Never mind the food, they could bring back the lovely quirky painted column things of over twenty (?) years ago, and remove the hideous "art" that has sadly been installed. I feel really sorry for the staff, because it can't be just my partner and I who rarely go there any more. I suppose the only hope is that it does so badly that it changes hands again and that the new hands have better taste. Sorry, all off topic.)
    • I would hope that is extremely unlikely. If people accidentally vote for someone, that's their own fault, isn't it?
