Technically I have to agree with blue revolution, though I think there is an element of sour grapes on his part. I have and still play a lot of football ( at a high level) and Nani's goal was very good. His first touch in controlling a difficult ball from Giggs was superb as he brought it down and got it out of his feet in one movement and retained his composure to score. Rooney's was brilliant but instinctive. He himself admitted that 9 times out of 10 they go over the bar and it did hit his shin. Google Klaus Fisher the ex west german striker, or Hugo Sanchez to see a bicycle kick executed to perfection on a regular and consistent basis.

Not really sour grapes, we lost a cracking game- we didn't net our chances- Silva 4th minute for example. I wouldn't have said Nanis goal was better if I thought otherwise. Rooney has openly admitted it was a hell of a chance to actually net it. Apart from that one instance, Kompany had the better of Rooney. I don't doubt that Shreks ( come on, had to say it at some point ;) ) will go down as goal of the season but it's the only decent contribution he made and gets man of the bloody match for it ??

All I can say to Sandperson et al, enjoy whilst it lasts- cos the noisy neighbours are getting louder. CTID

They now play the winners of United v Newcastle (conquerers of Dulwich Hamlet).

Yeah you're right. Rooney 5 goals, 15 assists. Tevez 18 goals, 5 assists- Fergie, fergie sign him up sign him up ! Nice one Spuds tonight

SP Aris are an unknown team but they are fully outfitted with international players including the Greek No1 GK, we took a full squad cos we knew they would be difficult at home. SAF would have put a week side out and probably got beaten for arrogance

Definitely not. PC bollocks innit. Come on it's just a bit of humour and he's apologised. And what's more Hoddle should never have been sacked as England manager.

Tottenham were bloody marvellous last night. To win at the San Siro with half a dozen players out is a fantastic achievement and Gattuso is an arse. Flamini should have been sent off too. But that's the sort of refereeing decisions you get in Italy. You must be gutted Atila. COYS!

We've never been a team to rely on one goalscorer BR. Berba is top goalscorer so far this season so it matters little that Rooney isn't scoring, what matters is that he's helping to make goals which I regard as coming into form. 15 assists means he's helped score 15 goals. That's pretty good in anyone's book.


P.S. Would wouldn't have been beaten by the best of Greece.

I disagree Jah. He deserved to be sacked irrespective of his abilities as manager. The minute I heard what he had said I knew he would be sacked promptly.


I can't now recall what he said exactly - but the gist of it was suggesting that disabled people were paying for the sins of a past life.


People with disabilities and their families have enough to bear without Hoddle making statements like that, trying to attach blame for their disability.


I'm not bothered about his current gaff. But as regards the one that got him sacked, the sacking was justified.

      Nursery school

      By tomem · Posted

      Not sure about changing hands but the Peckham Rye one is open and hasn’t had any random closures. Our child is very happy there but there was a resolved Ofsted complaint half way through last year.  Things don’t look good for the Devon nursery owned by the same company - looks like loads of issues with Ofsted which can be seen in its latest report.

      Have a great nhs dentist accepting patients

      By Sue · Posted

      I was in Forest Hill Road today, just past the Rye, and noticed there is a dentist next to the Herne (pub) that has NHS signs outside. I've never had any problems getting NHS dental treatment in East Dulwich, and I get regular check ups. I've been to three  different dental practices here over the years, all with NHS treatment. I think the difficulties are in other parts of the country. Malumbu has a good explanation above. I didn't hear the Radio 4 programme, but I'm guessing that a  radio programme is not going to have time to say where you CAN easily get NHS treatment, and is bound to focus on the negatives and the horror stories, otherwise it would be very boring! ETA: Re children's teeth, I think the major issue is not lack of dentists, it is children being given sugary food, drinks and confectionery which rots their teeth. The education of parents needs to be about this, not just about tooth brushing. And in some cases the poor diet may also be due to lack of money for healthy food. Though of course the lack of dentists doesn't help, if  the tooth rotting can't be rectified by fillings or extraction.

      Boycotting US products

      Well, I hope you like what you see, the hot air, lack of answers and continual blaming things on the last Government and the made up blackhole, I find are nauseating. The man needs to see reality, because I'd guess that if we had a snap election tomorrow and based on the first six months of this parliament, Labour would get trounced. When the election does finally happen and if that isn't before the people rise up and throw this lot out, Labour will not be voted back in for a millennium.
