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

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      By jazzer · Posted

      Simply, give us a snap election now as the last 12 months in office honestly have not been great in any sense. Let someone else have a go at turning around UK plc before it's too late. At least the last administration had the inflation and unemployment rates going in the right direction at the END.

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      By HeadNun · Posted

      Yes but what's the answer, Jazzer? No government can simply walk in and fix the economy - get the bills down, grow it and reduce debt. There is no silver bullet. The public (and the press) wants everything now, everything cheaper, but with better public services and lower taxes.  In the radio and paper, all you ever hear is pundits, MPs, think tanks and economists saying what won't work, but no one seems to know what will work.  I'm genuinely interested to hear what other views people have on here, and what they think will help, or make things worse.

      While they struggle with economics of UK plc, collectively we all suffer as a result of their ineptitude.

      I’ve tried to find details of surgeries being held before but not found any. The section of the Southwark website that details councillors’ surgeries says that: Your locally elected Councillors will be holding a roving surgery programme in the Dulwich Hill area to enable residents to raise any local issues. Residents will be notified by letter in advance of the date, time and specific streets/roads where the surgery will take place.  Surgeries are not held in August, on Bank Holidays, Easter or in Christmas Week.  Dulwich Hill Ward Councillors I’ve never seen any notification of surgeries being held, including on the DH councillors’ social media accounts. I don’t know if any other residents of Dulwich Hill have? Neighbouring wards all seem to have times and places posted for surgeries.
