Where do you draw the line Mick..


It's like diving in the box (sorry to bring this back up), where we are now at the stage that 2 players can roll theatrically in the box - and the one who has the faintest touch made on his baggy shorts is considered an honest player who won the penalty whilst the other, who is a hair from contact, is considered a cheat.


In my opinion both acts of going down in the box is cheating - and gambling on throw-ins should also be dealt with in the same manner that we'd expect on someone throwing a game. It may be harsh punishment but that is the only way integrity will return to this part of football and also for it to sink into the thick skulls of many of these dopey players like Le Tissier.

Although I'm a born and bred Londoner, I hate guys like Winstone, Hoskins, Dyer, these are people I call career cockneys, in others words they've made a living out of their accents and precious little talent!!!

Yeah! No doubt United will get another dodgy penalty decision against us like last season. Changed the game at Old Trafford after we two two-nil up. Either that or we'll score a perfectly legitimate goal (a yard over the line perhaps) and have it disallowed.

Mick, that money is disappearing isn't it? You know who (I can't say the team's names otherwise I will be accused of a wind-up :))) 9 points behind Chelsea already.


Sounded Like Adebayor acted like a bit of a cock but after the way he was treated I can't say I blame him, not for the stamp mind. And United won fair and square Jah! ;-)

Yes - they missed Arshaven today - and I still think they have a reasonable chance but Chelski keep winning and look very strong.


Arsenal 9 points adrift of Chelski already - and I guess on what we have seen so far they are not likely to be good enough, but have looked at their games for next couple of months and I reckon they might now go on a good run.


Very early days and too many people decide too early who might win what is a marathon.


Man United it seems are still a good team (surprise).

Adebayor is going to be in trouble. Have just seen his celebration on MOTD and some Arsenal fans were absolutely furious.


His stamp on Van Persie - I'm not sure was intentional - Van persie has made a statement on the Arsenal website calling it "mindless and malicious". I don't think that's helpful, surprised Arsenal have sanctioned that comment on their site.


Ironic Alan Shearer on MOTD saying how bad it was.

      Taxes

      By Sue · Posted

      Whilst I agree to some extent,  are they going to have some kind of checkpoint?  I can't see how this could work in practice. Surely Southwark residents go to these places quite frequently as well, particularly Tate Modern?  Will we have to take proof of residency every time we go out? What happens when family are with us who don't live in Southwark? Will other London boroughs start doing the same thing? Will Southwark residents be charged a tourist tax to visit "tourist attractions" in other areas, eg the V&A and the British Museum?

      New Empanada Place on LL

      By beansprout · Posted

      Totally agree regarding not supporting chains. Gail’s was fine but last time I went in Feb this year, actually walked out Fayetteville looking at menu and waiting 15 minutes to even get glass of water and not busy at all. Staff gone down hill - sooner it goes the better… Always prefer to support non chains - so many lovely places with good food to choose from with pleasant staff who know about customer service and sadly, non English which says a lot for our culture, pubs are also becoming abit of a hit and miss affair but maybe just unlucky. At the end of the day all about the chef. Still abit unclear where new place is located - is it down the road from Goose Green where parade of shops are before Peckham Rye?

      Surely only where the local businesses offer clear advantages, otherwise you are rewarding what should be failure. I want to be served by a better bakery than Gail's, not a worse but local independent one. Certainly give a local independent some time to get the offer right, but don't buy goods which are worse and or more expensive just because the outlet isn't a chain.
