We'll take that as a compliment JSW! ;-)

Football's greatest Number 7 has had a live hand grenade left on his garden wall - fortunately the Army's bomb disposal unit dealt with the explosive whilst Kenny was travelling back from Asia

I didn't know Robert Pires had a place over here

Ridiculous state of affairs going on at PFC currently as the EPL drag their heals over the Fit and Proper Person Tests for investors in the club.


Not too gutted to lose Crouch though. Pompey soon found out what Liverpool knew already; that he is a totally one dimensional player. Kalonic looks a far better bet imo.

Alonso was reported to have flown into Madrid last night with given 48 hours to secure a deal to Real Madrid.


However Real Madrid are still complaining Liverpool's demands are unrealistic and that if they don't lower their valuation then President Perez will turn to the youth team... that final comment, "If necessary, we'll find the Spanish players we would like for the squad in our youth side" should ring alarm bells for Alonso to whether he is being viewed as just a disposable cog (Michael Owen 04/05) rather than a 'galactico'.

No... well he might get a bit more anger thrown at him if he scores an own goal but in general people be happy he stayed. It might be a different matter if he'd been mouthing off all summer.


Looks like Kolo Toure on his way to Citeh for ?15m according to Daily Mail. 3 or 4 more signings and they'll have a fully equipped team.

Hmmm... I can't say I'm overjoyed at him being back at Spurs. He may be one-dimensional but he's pretty good at what he does and Jermaine Defoe enjoys playing alongside him so I hope he does really well.

I'm a little surprised by how quiet Harry Redknapp's been in the transfer market so far. Still, there's plenty of time yet for the two or three other signings that we need.

It's a strange one by Redknapp. Would you have Crouch in front of Robbie Keane?? Not in a million years.


Lots of talk on the Pompey boards about this actually being a favour to Peter Storrie as it seems Spurs have paid all the money up front for this one, which, is in itself remarkable, and enables us to buy the Croat.


For once I will refrain from slagging the saggy faced corrupt judas coont off on a message board. ;)




ooops!

Certain players might be good players but can be detrimental to how the team play. Crouch slows down the tempo with his slow motion movement / control of the ball. Liverpool would often launch long balls for Crouch when under the slightest pressure even though he was pretty useless under the high ball. Crouch can dribble past a defender outside the box and the defender still has time to get goal side.
Matt - of course it was jock Stein who made Kenny a number 7 and taught him how to play. Stein said"the celtic shirt does not shrink to fit inferior players"sadly a fair few inferior players have worn the shirt since then buy yesk Kenny was one of the best number 7 s.

    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.     
    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
