lol, I was going to mention him but I thought it might start a row. There was always big Tony Adams too....I think he was drunk when he went shopping most of the time though so he can be forgiven.

Portuguese forward Cristiano Ronaldo insists Real Madrid have bought him for a snip at ?80m. "Of course the club can pay ?80m for me," said Ronaldo. "Or more. I think I'm worth more."

Full story: The Sun


There, in a nutshell, is the reason why I can't stand the show pony.

Sunderland have bid about ?11 million for Peter Crouch and Portsmouth are considering their response. The forward has expressed his dissatisfaction with the situation at the club, with many out-of-contract players having left and uncertainty surrounding the proposed takeover by Sulaiman al-Fahim. The England striker scored 18 goals last season after his ?11m move from Liverpool.

Sorry to disappoint you SP but Aurellio is out for a maximum of 2 months, perhaps back in 1 month according to Rafa... so in plenty of time to demonstrate the art of scoring a free kick whilst the goalkeeper is flat footed ;-)


As for Peter Crouch he should show Pompey a bit of respect and remember he is under contract - his apparent dissatisfaction seems to be an excuse for another juicy signing on bonus. The reason for leaving Liverpool is still valid to why he should remain at Fratton Park, i.e. first team football, as it certainly wasn't to have a crack at the title.

I think players need to take the rough with the smooth - if others jump ship it's not an invitation to also disembark. Think about the poor supporter who through thick and thin keeps plodding along giving their support and hard earned dosh and then a star player has a little cry to manufacture a move. It's time for clubs to play hard ball and not be soft - I have no sympathy for Crouch.

I think Sunderland are testing the water. We have a Plan A - We get taken over by Dr Al Fahim with the financial backing of Holger Heims and Plan B - we rely on Hayden Mullins to assure our relegation and eventual administration.


Sunderland are getting their bid in just in case we are plan B.


Just talking about silly footballer injuries. I was with Jason Lee some time ago (Baddiel and Skinner ruined him), we were playing FIFA 95 I think. He picked up his nephew, my godson, and put his back out. He had to get straight on the phone to Stuart Pearce, then manager of Notts Forest to explain his injury. I could hear Pearce screaming at him from over the phone! Hillarious!


I am meant to be dining with the new Pompey owner Saturday evening - bet he does not show, but if he does then I will surely get some juicy gossip!


Robert Mancini is new PFC manager btw - I got in while he was still at 4-1 but I think the odds have dropped now!

We've given Pompey and West Ham a hell of a lot more players than we've taken in return!


Coming to Anfield from Pompey or Hammers: G.Johnson, Yossi, Dicks


Going in opposite direction: Pennant, Crouch, Patrik Berger, Dicks, Burrows, Marsh, Ruddock, James, Jones, Hutchison, Titi Camera, Rigobert Song

      4+ Assessment Advice for Parents

      By Lord Pencilton · Posted

      It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch. It may well be the lifeline you seek. The Delicate Dilemma of the Summer-born 4+ Scholars Yours in solidarity and scholastic savvy, Lord Pencilton  🎩✏️

      GALA 2026

      By kiera · Posted

      Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.

      So dangerous!    Can you be more specific about the road this was in and when you report it?  Maybe there’s some CCTV footage available
