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.

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      By Blah Blah · Posted

      Morally they should, but we don't actually vote for parties in our electoral system. We vote for a parliamentary (or council) representative. That candidates group together under party unbrellas is irrelevant. We have a 'representative' democracy, not a party political one (if that makes sense). That's where I am on things at the moment. Reform are knocking on the door of the BNP, and using wedge issues to bait emotional rage. The Greens are knocking on the door of the hard left, sweeping up the Corbynista idealists. But it's worth saying that both are only ascending because of the failures of the two main parties and the successive governments they have led. Large parts of the country have been left in economic decline for decades, while city fat cats became uber wealthy. Young people have been screwed over by student loans. Housing is 40 years of commoditisation, removing affordabilty beyond the reach of too many. Decently paid, secure jobs, seem to be a thing of the past. Which of the main parties can people turn to, to fix any of these things, when the main parties are the reason for the mess that has been allowed to evolve? Reform certainly aren't the answer to those things. The Greens may aspire to do something meaningful about some of them, but where will they find the money to pay for it? None of it's easy.

      Yes, but the context is important and the reason.

      That messes up Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland - democracy being based on citizenship not literacy. There's intentionally no one language that campaign materials have to be in.

      TBH if people don't see what is sectarian in the materials linked to above when they read about them, then I don't think me going on about it will help. They speak for themselves.  I don't know how the Greens can justify promising to be a strong voice for one particular religion. Will that pledge hold when it comes to campaigning in East Dulwich (which is majority atheist)? https://censusdata.uk/e02000836-east-dulwich/ts030-religion
