Shame, I've just heard the news that Ledley has left the England training camp to return to Spurs due to his knee problem. Did 'Arry complain that if he played for England he wouldn't recover in time for Spurs next match?..

Well if he can't train for Spurs because of his persistant knee problem he can hardly train for England can he. He spends his whole time when the other players are training receiving treatment. It's a terrible shame for the boy and I really feel for him. But I remember Paul McGrath (Man Utd, Aston Villa) had a similar problem and was able to turn out for the Republic Of Ireland. So why not Ledley.

Villa goalkeeper Brad Friedel has had his Old Trafford suspension lifted by the FA - so is now free to face Man Utd in 2 weeks time.


Not sure why Capello selected Ledley King, as surely he must have known about his chronic injury problems, which beggars the question why is Michael Owen continually snubbed..


With Steven Gerrard ripping up trees for Liverpool as the 2nd striker will Capello now pick Gerrard in same position for England at the expense of Wayne Rooney?

There is talk of a swap - McGeady to Spurs and "Pile of chenko" to Celtic. In which case Spurs 8 Celtic 0 is more likely but Celtic directors would have made a ?2m profit and that is all they care about, balance sheets not football achievements. If we sell McGeady I'll not be best pleased.

I was wrong!

Last time United had back to back PL defeats was actually 4 years ago (2004/05) - then lost a further 5 points in their final 5 PL games.


That season they also lost the FA Cup Final to Arsenal (Man Utd having earlier beaten Everton & Southamption), failed to win the Premiership and Liverpool were crowned European Champions - is there a pattern!?

ok, the executive box is now five places at ?90 a head for the Sunderland game, all money directly to a homeless chariddy Providence Row.

That's warm seats, Premiership action (though that may well be an ironic use of the word action), food and booze for ?25 more than a seat in the Bobby Moore stand.


If we don't get 5 we get 0. Come on you people, help a homeless person.

      New Student Loans at 5.5%

      By Pugwash · Posted

      I was lucky that I received a student grant from 1990-1995 first 3 years for degree and 2 years post graduate bursary. Both were based on my income and I did not have to pay back. Eldest daughter got student loan and after 20 years managed to pay it off, Youngest daughter still paying hers 18 years later. Granddaughter - still paying after 6 years. Grandson decided against FE and secured an apprentenship. I am glad that I am an old codger and not young anymore !

      It is not only Southwark - our grandson, partner and 7 year old had a one bed council flat for years in Harlow Essex and all the properties offered were in poor condition. They eventually took a property as if they refused another one they would drop to the bottom of the Housing List. It was damp and in need of a level of renovation. Having lived in these conditions for a while they were offered better council accommodation recently, but further away from child's school. They had to pay 2 lots of rent for a few weeks as council had to undertake work in the new premises before they could move in,
