Well I got Peter Crouch first goal scorer correct ... for anyone looking to boost their grand national kitty ;-)


I fully expect Newcastle to dismantle Chelsea on Saturday with Shearer back at Newcastle, and they say things come in 3's so am sticking with a Villa 'dream' win at Old Trafford :-)

I can understand Shearer saying he is only in charge for 8 games to calm down the faithful, but what kind of motivation is that to the players. Surely it is better to think the Manager is going to be around long term.


I read one Geordie say, "8 games, 8 wins, 24 points, we can still make Europe"

Yaye! Proper football is back.


A men to that!!


Proper football as opposed to what, a kick around in the park? Sorry but FFS! Friendlies are a pain in the backside, but international qualifiers and finals are he peak, and should remain so!


I'm in a minority these days, which I think is a shame, but I'd take England lifting the world cup over any cup for any club. And a world cup will always be more interesting than a champions league! Where else can you see a world and european champion getting beat by a reletively tiny African nation, like Senegal beating France in 2002? That is what it should all be about!

Luckily for me Keef I remember very clearly England winning the World Cup in '66. My younger brother was born the day before and although I was only eight at the time I can still remember very clearly how gutted I was that my boyhood hero Jimmy Greaves wasn't playing and looking out for him sitting in his suit behind the England bench.

And I remember the euphoria at winning mixed with the sadness of Greavsie's obvious disappointment but fecking hell what a day and even now when I see pictures of the late great Bobby Moore being carried on the shoulders of his England teammates with the trophy raised in his hands it brings a little tear to my eyes. How I'd long to see England win it again. England's glory. You never forget things like that.

    • I thoroughly recommend Jay from JK Electrical Contractors who is an NICEIC registered. NICEIC is the UK's leading certification body for the electrical contracting industry and conducts regular audits and assessments on all its members. It is the specialist trade body which certifies professional electricians.  Jay completed the installation of a 19 way consumer unit for us and works to the highest standards and our entire electrical installation is now fully compliant with 18th Edition of the electrical wiring regulations. Before installing the new CU he traced and corrected faults that had developed over the last 25 years -some of which were my DIY bodges that were non-compliant.  We now have an installation that is 100% safe and  reliable . His contact details are :- 0208 150 6450 [email protected] Here is what he installed for us.
    • I fully support this petition, however it will need to be shared far & wide to be effective. Also there is always a huge amount of interest / objection during the festival, but not so much when they start consulting for the next one, usually around January. It's crucial that everyone that has been impacted makes their voice heard then.  A couple of points which may be good to include in the wording (if it is still possible to amend?) - The total tickets sold are way more than 3000. The licence allows a capacity of up to 9,999, but this may include staff & performers etc. The published attendance for 2024 was:  Friday – 8,999 / Saturday – 9,512 / Sunday – 9,422 So that's c.28,000 people trampling & littering our park over three days - people who have no need or desire to take any care or consideration of our park.  - Gala claim for 2024 that "62% of all ticket holders were from Southeast London and 18% of these were from hyper-local postcode areas SE15 and SE22." So a bit of maths shows that means that around 89% of attendees were not what most people would term 'local'... - Gala have ambitions / plans to extend the number of event days to 6, over two weekends. They applied for a licence for this in 2024, but then withdrew it. Instead they added a "free" event, billed as a community day, to the existing 3 day festival, thereby increasing the event days to 4.  This would appear to be an attempt to set a precedent for increasing the number of event days, and it's inevitable that they will attempt to secure the 6 days they desire for 2026, to increase their profits further. Two weekends in a row of noise, disturbance & disruption would be unacceptable, plus an extra c.18,000 trampling & littering the park... - The site size has been increased. The claim is that it is to compensate for lost storage space due to recent flood alleviation works, but the area has increased by more than the area lost, and appears to have been used for attendee activity rather than site storage. Gala have often stated that the festival can only be located in the park because the footprint has been designed specifically for that area, and yet this year the footprint had been amended & extended without any apparent issues. Surely this proves that it could be relocated?  Apologies, I just can't help going into rant mode on this issue, but hopefully some of the above may be helpful in increasing the argument presented by the petition?
    • Best to just get in touch with the council. You need to see what works were approved and the scope.  It's probably advisable to get an independent legal survey (not a standard RICS) and look at current condition, what they said they'd fix, if they did what they said and what the problems are with what they did. Was it just your flat and the other flat mentioned? Asking in case there's any other leaseholder/ tenant involved
