Take it you're referring to his interview in West Ham Till I Die


There are things I do not like at all about Sullivan but I think this makes very interesting reading.

Yes that - but also this from Monday's Guardian -


"This might not please many people but look at Scott Parker's performance in the first five games of this season. To me it didn't look like he was doing the tackling you'd normally expect him to do," said Sullivan. "He was running about, he was doing OK but he wasn't doing the tackling we know he can do because he knew that the one thing that would stop a move for him would be an injury."

Easy. (seriously).


*sings* "Ten men! We've only got ten men! We've only got-" *Vaz Te goes down injured* "Nine men! We've only got nine men!"


memo to Sam - ask if we can play every game with ten men and a rush goalie.

Strange goings on indeed. Would like to hear Ollie's immediate reaction.


Happy with our result at Barnsley.

Here it is - tbh the Tangerines seemed to panic when Greene was sent off, as though they HAD to score now and better be bloody quick about it. Ollie was about right...


"It was pretty horrendous from our point of view. Only one team turned up. In every single way they were better than us.

"They were more professional than us, they played it in the right way on a difficult surface and we just made mistake after mistake after mistake.

"Just about everything that could go wrong did. I felt my lot were caught in the emotion of it. They were not professional, they did not get it right and we were beaten by a better team."

Aboooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo's aside, that was a massive result. the " new boys did well and got goals. Birmingham look in form but a thinner squad than us, Southamptone need to sort their away form. Feeling optimistic right now.


Playing better without Nolan?

Playing better without Carew and also (to lesser extent) Baldock (he needs time maybe to develop a bit more)


Yes it's early days for Vaz Te and Maynard but they are exciting up front. The team (particularly Faubert and Tomkins) have got some confidence from the new arrivals that Piquionne and Cole didn't always instill. Taylor doing a good job too - got real depth now.

Something quite special going on around Pompey at the moment. In an effort to pack the ground tomorrow, support the lads and get some revenue into the club, people are buying tickets for those that cannot afford to go. I have been offered 4 already from mates back home! Sadly I have the kids tomorrow as it's the wife's birthday and even though I will be in the mother land I will not be able to go.


This is what being a footy fan is all about however!

Hope there are still enough players to form a team after having to let top scorer Huseklepp got to B'ham on loan for financial reasons.


Good news for the Irons is that Green's red card was overturned so he'll be in team for tomorrow's lunchtime k.o. v the Eagles.

It is a sad state of affairs. Rivalry aside, I wouldn't want to see any club go out of business. When Saints were in administration it was dire and we were 2 days away from liquidation following an unsuccessful bid and people pissing around. No one saw our saviour Marcus Liebherr coming. He had to pay a significant amount of money as there was a 24 million pound debt on the stadium. So.... it is possible to get out off this and I think it is a good decision by the administrator that he will find a buyer rather than Channrai finding one.


That said.... down you go......

It should be but as a Blues fan I am too superstitious to bet on our mathces. Especially on our current unbeaten run.


I've goe for Newcastle/Swindon/Notts Co/Burnley paying slightly under 8/1.

    • More interested in the future than the past. 
    • The plans The developer Berkeley Homes have submitted a planning application to redevelop the Aylesham Centre close to the junction of Peckham High Street and Rye Lane, containing Morrison’s supermarket, car park, & petrol station, Aylesham shopping arcade and most of that side of Rye Lane between Hanover Park and Peckham High Street. The application is for a mixed housing, retail, leisure and commercial development, in buildings ranging from 5 to 20 storeys. Impact Local people who have studied the detailed plans think that the development would dominate the historic town centre which has evolved since the 18th century, and would ruin the Conservation Area which was awarded in 2011 'to preserve and enhance its character and appearance'. More than 65% of the homes to be built in this unimaginative over-bearing development will be unaffordable by most people who live in Southwark, and provide inadequate open and green space for this part of Peckham. Need for discussion This is such an important issue for south London that it needs wide discussion before the Council Planning Committee takes its decision (not before next Spring). A free on-line talk and discussion to clarify the heritage issues we all need to think about is being held on Monday 11th November 7-8.30pm. All will be welcome. Please register on this link: https://Defend-Peckhams-Heritage-2024.eventbrite.co.uk There are several other key issues raised by the plans which are being examined in the Aylesham Community Action (ACA) campaign. You can find the link to all that and other useful information here: www.linktr.ee/acapeckham The zoom session is being arranged by Peckham Heritage the local group that has grown from the community work alongside the restoration of nine historic buildings in Peckham High Street through the Townscape Heritage Initiative. We hope that EDF members who value local heritage will be able to attend the session to hear and take part in the discussion, and report back to this topic so the discussion can continue.
    • I did see a few Victoria bound 185's on East Dulwich road around 5pm this evening. Coming from the Rye end and heading toward Goose green
