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.

      Excellent Christmas meal at Franklins!

      By civilservant · Posted

      thanks Jenijenjen and all - yes, i remember walking or taking the bus from the elephant (where i was working) to Camberwell to get there.  I think Tim - who's still at Franklin's -  was there in those days, and the woman who ran the cafe!  Other food places that i remember fondly are the ones in Neal's Yard (with the Hunkin sculpture that you could put a coin in ) and the basement lunch place at the Tottenham Court Road junction with Hanway Street...

      Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertised  times. Hope you got it sorted x

      Be careful in local shops

      By Sue · Posted

      People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.

      Bitey Fox.

      Adapted not forced.  As have numerous species around the world.  Sort of thing that Attenborough features.  Domestic dogs another good example - hung around communities for food and then we become the leader of the pack.  Not sure how long it will take foxes to domesticate, but some will be well on their way.    Raccoons also on the way https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1j8j48e5z2o
