I ran a half marathon this morning, came back and cooked lunch for my wife and daughter and then went to the pub to watch. I am afraid Wembley was out of my reach today but 'm not much of a fan. ;-) Jah was there.


Speaking of which, wtf was all that Fan-o-meter thing all about? Which fans were making the most noise in the ground and then flashing it up on screen and on the advertising hoardings. Bloody ridiculous.

Lots of good teams left in the CL. Up until a few weeks ago I'd have said Barcelona were head and shoulders above everyone else but now it could be anyone from Liverpool, Chelsea, Bayern, Barca and United that wins the CL title. The most crucial part of who will reach the Final will once again be who is drawn at Home for the 2nd leg of the Semi finals.


FA Cup will go to Arsenal, Man U or Chelsea, although Everton might have a say in the SF with their dirty ball tactics.

Bah! Bloody Man Utd....Not the best Cup final I've been to that's for sure. Aaron Lennon is the dogs bollocks. On current form he's gotta get back into the England squad. He's been fantastic all season. As for David Bentley...what Atila said. Wenger soon sussed him out and shipped out.

Drowned my sorrows with a girlfriend and left my flag in Franklin..Bah!

Did you watch that game last night? I started to but had the footy on all afternoon and had things to do, so only watched the first 5-10 mins. Saw the highlights on SSN this morning and I'm gutted that I missed it. Would liket to see Atletico do well.

Couldn't agree more, very sound advice. A true fan sticks with the club through thick and thin regardless of good fortune, and through times of dire football (as was the case with Arsenal in the 80's).

The last time I went to the Hawthorns we lost 2-1 and guess who scored one of their goals? Bloody Kanu!!!

Of course I would never defect! You have to have the bad times to appreciate the good!

      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 Restaurant

      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…
