Apparently the English girls decided at half time to give up the game as they were losing and if they came back and it went to extra time they would not be home in time to put their hubby's dinner on the table, hence the second half was a bit one sided.

during the day it seems to be all tit for tat - my team's players don't cheat as much as yours etc, I don't read it much.

I always thought Matt Le Tissier was a fairly honest player but now I'm not so sure after his own revelations that he once did a spread bet on a game he played for Southampton in 1995. It may sound innocuous spread betting the time of first throw-in but it's dishonest. I dare say others have done similar bets on corner kicks, and even scorelines, but nevertheless Le Tissier has to be brought before the FA and charged with serious misconduct once Police have concluded their investigation.


What makes it even more unbelievable is that this was during the period when Bruce Grobbelaar was also at Southamption and already facing criminal charges of match fixing whilst he'd been at Liverpool. Yet Le Tissier still went ahead with his bet - although to give the guy the benefit of the doubt based on his chemistry on Sky with Paul Merson it's highly likely that Le Tissier is just plain thick rather than a genuine bent footballer.

It's pathetic isn't it - it's Football's own Bloodgate.


These ex-players need to be punished. You get these pundits banging on about foreign players, like Eduardo diving, whilst ignoring the fact that home grown players can be even more crooked. Time for a clamp down - as a minimum Sky should suspend Le Tissier from their Saturday afternoon show.

with the likes of Le Tiss, the general consensus will be "He's a lad that boy!!", and nothing more will be done, I betcha!


Think you're spot on there, it's why lots of people probably enjoy seeing Ray Winstone on the betting ad, because "he's a geeeeeeeza".

I meant that I think you want to be heavy on him for something rather innocuous. Betting and sport should not mix but is a throw in really a serious matter?

    • Moving into a new place and need both a wardrobe and a chest of drawers, ideally collection Friday. Thanks!
    • Lordship Lane has two dry cleaners, three pizza places and an Italian selling pizza, two burger places, three bakeries, two hardware (ish, I'm thinking AJ Farmer here), God knows how many coffee and charity shops, two Italians, three nail salons, five wine shops... Where was the abject outrage when Dynamic Vines opened up literally next door to Cave de Bruno? But I don't see his customers decamped next door - no, those stalwarts are still out in force every night.  In Roman times all businesses were clustered by product. It's what kept prices down. Same in any market you go to abroad, they're all selling the same things next to each other.  Why is everyone being so hard on this new place? It's called healthy competition - you can't curtail the expansion of your business on the basis you that might hurt someone else's. 
    • I have a new fixation so any available, please let me know.  Thanks.
    • In restaurant terms I would say a chain manifests when the motivation is no longer “we are a couple/small group who have an idea and love food” who open a restaurant, them another and then a few more BUT THEN PIVOT to “we need capital to rollout out new restaurants so we have leveraged the help of the following investors”  that is the moment it stops being about the chef/food on the plate and becomes about the spreadsheet  so it is POSSIBLE  for a restaurant to have 50 branches and not be a chain - but I can’t think of any  I don’t know chango - by based on the number of outlets they appear to have just crossed/or are about to cross that line
