Ronaldo basically started getting a bit huffy when it wasn't going his way. He also got very greedy a couple of times, which led him in to dead ends. Fergie was screaming at him from the touch lines.


Good as he is (and he is very good), he doesn't react well when it's not going his way IMO.

Ok, Keef, so what would you do in Fergie's position? Sell him straight away because he didn't pass the ball? I'm not sure what you want me to say. He could react by kicking lumps out of people like Joey Barton or disappearing from the game like Nicolas Anelka. Is it worse that he stuck his lip out a bit and tried to score on his own? I mean, give us break....

FA Cup Final tomorrow and I'm in two minds as to who I want to win. Hiddink to bow out with a trophy but having Drogba running around on a lap of disgrace like a spoilt brat, or David Moyes reminding the world from an open top bus that even though they can't fill Goodison Park they're actually the 'Peoples club'..


I think I'm going to cheer (very quietly) for Chelsea... maybe

Keef, footballers are human like the rest of us, warts and all, and yes Ronaldo can be a tw@t (is that what you wanted to hear?), there are even a few on this thread. I don't expect people to come on here praising Utd, but all we ever seem to get is cheap pops, it's easy to blank the juvenile delinquents amongst us, but I expect better from you.


To counter all this negativity, I'd like to say what a model professional Ryan Giggs has been, 11 English league titles, a feat unlikely to be equalled let alone bettered by anyone else, a credit to himself and his club, who took defeat on Wednesday with great dignity, a living legend!..I'm off with my rose tinted spectacles to enjoy the sun :)-D

got to be Everton for me just because they are the underdogs. Matt, isn't that whole 'people's club' thing just the same as people saying that people from Manchester only support City? It's a way that a less successful club in a city can try and gain some dignity?

Show me where I've had a pop at United (i can promise you that you both, SP especially, have had more pops at other teams than I have about anyone!)? Couldn't agree more about Giggs, and just think Ronaldo would earn a lot more respect if he behaved a bit more like that.


Victim complex or what!


Aaaanyway, hoping for a good game tomorrow. Not a huge fan of either team, but would be pleased to see either manager walk away with a trophy.

      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!

      Excellent Christmas meal at Franklins!

      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.
