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?

Not sure if this gonna work, but this is on Hamlets web site, my son plays for the Youth side, he is the lad standing in the middle of the back row and someone is holding a small red madal box in front of him.

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.

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.

      The Mansion Tax

      By Dogkennelhillbilly · Posted

      This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!

      I checked - the Hanway Street place was Mandeer - it moved to New Oxford Street I think and was replaced by Hakkasan - very different prices.

      How late is your Christmas Card

      By Cancerian · Posted

      Suppose it depends on how many Christmas cards from family and friends you’re waiting to receive. It’s been the Christmas period so surely give the post delivery service some leeway. Like Sue I’ve not posted off so many this year but some I still write letters to  e.g my late mum’s cousins and other family  but hey ho that’s something I do and enjoy.  I used to hand deliver Christmas cards to a lot of neighbours on my street but gave up this year as realised that most of them I don’t see or speak to and can only count on a few to call a true friend or neighbour.
