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!

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      By malumbu · Posted

      Oh dear, hope you are OK, I've had it three times and it was worse each time, but not a patch on many of those who got it before they vac' role out. Not commenting on the discussion as I got confused many days ago beyond the reminder that Corbyn would not compromise and the harm that could lead to him, the party and regards Brexit pre and post referendum the country.  Starmer goes too far the other way at times.

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      By Sue · Posted

      I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.

      Nasty kids in Peckham Park

      By MCK100 · Posted

      @NewWave I know how you feel. Like you, I've lived and spent prolonged periods of time in some pretty crazy places and always thought I could handle a bunch of kids. But, no - they got to me and I was shaking like a leaf afterwards. That's what age does to us.  But I did engage with them, so bear that in mind.  My advice would be to never let anything like that stop you doing the things you love. I'm certainly not going to stop using the park, there's no way they get to take away our cherished spaces!  If you see them, just change tack and keep out of their way. My dog won't even go that way again, so that's that problem solved. (If I see them again, I'm going to keep taking photos from a safe distance).
