They'll be able to attract better players now that Barry has signed and I think we'll see a snowball effect that by August they will be able to entice someone like Kaka (who incidentally has reportedly just signed to Madrid for ?56m - cue photos of Ronaldo crying at swimming pool).

Sp you've surprised me.


Has Barry actually signed? I've been in the pub all evening.


If he has or does sign for city then as far as i'm concerned he's an arse. " I want to play in the champions league, bollocks, bollocks, waffle, waffle". In other words, I motivated by cold hard cash.


I'd never give up Alonso for Barry so if this has happened he has done us a favour.

Exactly as I feel.


PS, which pub were you in? I was in the Vale earlier.

Maybe Anna means changing colours from United to Argentina to England - what next Arsenal!?

Oh God! Just read through the last three pages. When Spurs bought Osvaldo Ardiles and Ricardo Villa back in 1978 just after Argentina had won the World Cup I remember the Spurs fans chanting "Argentina Argentina." Yup! You heard it at White Hart Lane first.

Champion HiIl, do you mean Dulwich Hamlet. What do you want to know? My son played for DH Youth team last season and he is in close contact with the guy who was the manager, Ian. Let me know what you query is and might be able to get an answer. I know AF Fisher may have some dealings/influence on Dulwich Hamlets future

I mentioned my thoughts on squad restrictions recently and no one was interested. A subject ignored and shoved under the carpet as not being important. Instead it seems I have stoked the football intelligentsia of East Dulwich with an honest, clean joke about changing colours from Argentina to England!


At this point I should say Liverpool were guilty of singing another team's name, back in '92 the Kop went balmy singing 'Leeds, Leeds, Leeds!' ... after Liverpool beat Man U to give Leeds the title. Also on another occasion the old Kop roared mid-game on hearing latest score from Yorkshire, 'Wednesday three, United two - Hallelujah!'

Was that ignored? I really did mean to comment.


Restricting squad size might work. I can see a case for it but it has to be consistent across Europe, or the world, or it's an unfair restriction. I would also add that I'd like to see some sort of appeals panel if your team was decimated by injury otherwise it would be a farce.


Anna, are you penning that resignation letter yet? I see you are now in bed with the enemy. ;)

The squads will inevitably suffer from injuries, but the call for replacements should be limited to u18 players of the club's home nation. That way squad restrictions would enable more home grown youths to break through - rather than likes of Bolton streaming in van loads of continental mercenaries every summer.

      Police appeal: Monday, 25 August – Assault between the junction of Lordship Lane and Chesterfield Grove at around 16:45hrs

      Rather than zero tolerance, a term I should have not used, I should have referred to crime,  No crime (excluding some things which really should not be criminalised) should be tolerated (albeit the reaction to a naughty 13 year old will be different to a violent criminal, and similarly those with mental health issues there will be some flexibility), I' was talking zero crime, which is impossible. New York was vastly improved, what happened to that wonderful Giuliani chap? US is not a role model of course, homicides per head dwarf the UK; the damage that white flight and the desolation of inner cities that happened to  many places such as Baltimore, Washington DC and Detroit is difficult to turn round Much rather move this debate to the Lounge!

      The quarterly SNT Police Meetings are advertised on EDF - the one Beansprout mentions, is  Dulwich Hill. The team have been short  staffed for a number of months as one officer was injured trying to arrest a shoplifter - unfortunately the shoplifter got away but the officer was left with fractures. We regularly see one or two of the police team around the Dulwich Hill area (they were recently in Landells Road)  Dulwich Hill SNT are hoping to resume their Cuppa with a Copper sessions but are frequently asked to support colleagues policing the various protest marches.  The next Dulwich Hill SNT meeting is scheduled for December (date to be confirmed) The attack on the young woman would come under the Goose Green SNT.
