I only saw the 2nd half, and tbh I was more disgusted in the quality of the Guinness than the play acting of Ronaldo.

Parker's histrionics were pathetic. He was trying to get the other player sent off rolling around as if he'd been shot.


Tottenham were superb last night. I really thought that Boro could have been another banana skin as they had suddenly struck form with a couple of good results including beating Liverpool 2-0. Great to see Robbie Keane back in form and scoring and creating goals again.

I'd be very surprised if Aaron Lennon isn't picked in the next England squad, whenever he gets the ball people are up on their feet in anticipation that something good is going to happen and this season usually does.


Quids you're right. Newcastle are looking in seriously deep shit.

If I recollect correctly, Liverpool wanted to re-sign Owen for the same amount they'd sold him to Real Madrid. All that was blown out of the water when Newcastle came in with their crazy ?17m offer. With transfer deadline loomimg, Liverpool advised Owen to reject the Newcastle offer as Real Madrid would crumble and agree to the Liverpool deal once Owen made it clear it was only Liverpool he would join. Whether Real Madrid would have budged in another matter but what is clear is that Owen would have been better sitting it out in Spain rather than exposing his sensitive hamstrings to the crippling North Sea wind.

Ranger's result reminded me of the Sun headline when Caley beat Celtic...


'Super Caley go balistic,

Celtic are atrocious'...

After Liverpool drew at Stoke in early January, and Liverpool 4 points clear Rafa rallied his players for the run in to the title with this comment to the media: -


?It could be that it takes fewer points to win the title because you can lose games you expect to win. This could be the situation at the end of the season.?

That headline meant the end of john barnes and his replacement was martin o neill so that loss was a real positive for celtic. But yes it was a great headline..

Back to a day when the fan's had wit. My, slightly bias, example....on a banner (sheet on two broom poles) at the 1980 Cup Final "Devonshire Cream, Rice Pudding"



For anyone under 40, Alan Devonshire=West Ham genius, Pat Rice=Arsenal donkey...

At the 1992 Semi Final at Villa Park (Replay)


Have Souness' Men got the Heart to Bypass Pompey?


Sadly they did but it made me laugh, as did a big pink inflatable pig thrown over the fence into the scousers in the shared Holte end on which someone had magic markered "Jan Molby"

I remeber on fantasy football league some years ago there was a sing in honour of the early german exit. Went something like - we wanted to play like Muller, Beckenbaur, Rumenigge... but instead we played like Kuntz!


Was to the tune of Nessum Dorma if anyone's interested.

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      By Blah Blah · Posted

      Morally they should, but we don't actually vote for parties in our electoral system. We vote for a parliamentary (or council) representative. That candidates group together under party unbrellas is irrelevant. We have a 'representative' democracy, not a party political one (if that makes sense). That's where I am on things at the moment. Reform are knocking on the door of the BNP, and using wedge issues to bait emotional rage. The Greens are knocking on the door of the hard left, sweeping up the Corbynista idealists. But it's worth saying that both are only ascending because of the failures of the two main parties and the successive governments they have led. Large parts of the country have been left in economic decline for decades, while city fat cats became uber wealthy. Young people have been screwed over by student loans. Housing is 40 years of commoditisation, removing affordabilty beyond the reach of too many. Decently paid, secure jobs, seem to be a thing of the past. Which of the main parties can people turn to, to fix any of these things, when the main parties are the reason for the mess that has been allowed to evolve? Reform certainly aren't the answer to those things. The Greens may aspire to do something meaningful about some of them, but where will they find the money to pay for it? None of it's easy.

      Yes, but the context is important and the reason.

      That messes up Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland - democracy being based on citizenship not literacy. There's intentionally no one language that campaign materials have to be in.

      TBH if people don't see what is sectarian in the materials linked to above when they read about them, then I don't think me going on about it will help. They speak for themselves.  I don't know how the Greens can justify promising to be a strong voice for one particular religion. Will that pledge hold when it comes to campaigning in East Dulwich (which is majority atheist)? https://censusdata.uk/e02000836-east-dulwich/ts030-religion
