Yep, he certainly does. Hope to see him have a cracking season.

When Liverpool bid 21m for Costa, I thought Suarez would go, but as that's not happening I think they'll keep him for now. Rogers has said he won't discuss him again until he's available for selection. Fair enough. Gerrard said he felt sure that he wouldn't be sold to a domestic rival.

I was there. Brilliant atmosphere and great to stick two good goals past England at the new Wembley! Gutted to lose the third after leading twice but can't argue with that great goal from Lambert. 25,000 fans came down, over 20,000 in the ground making a huge noise and only 2 arrests (for being drunk). That's an amazing feat so credit to both sets of fans.


Nothing about England scared us. Gerrard looked lazy and ponderous. Rooney played well and credit to him for ignoring the cream donuts sent his way.

Glad you enjoyed your evening MrBen. I was at the Euro '96 game against Scotland when Gazza scored that fantastic goal and the atmosphere was amazing. The Scottish support is always a sight and sound to behold. They never stopped singing and getting behind their team. One of the best experiences I've had at a football match. Certainly the best at an international.

I'm waiting until the transfer windows closes, but I will make one prediction now...this will be Wenger's last season.

Hmm... People say that about Wenger at the beginning of every season now. It's getting a bit like every time the Rolling Stones tour and the usual lazy journalists headline "Could This Be The Last Time?" bollocks.


Mind you there's hardly been a flurry of activity in the transfer market so far and with their nearest rivals down the road already spending ?60 million they might be looking a bit envious at our spending. Are Gooners are bit worried about this?

I'm on a roll Jah after my Fergie prediction last season. I'm actually thinking more along the lines of Arsenal not getting into the Champions League, cue revolting Gooners (pun intended)...

True. Usually we leave it to the last minute and get off to a bad start. We dropped points in our first three games last season and because Le Arse came so good towards the end of the season, that and those three games at the beginning probably cost us 4th spot. Hopefully, that won't happen this time around.

In theory yes (FFP permitting), but I think in City's case it's more to do with the change of manager and/or the board making those funds available. Last year City were hopeless in the transfer window, which showed in the League...

All dropped points are critical in hindsight. I'd say the home loss to Fulham was the biggie, which in effect undid beating Arsenal...

    • It wasn't a rumour, the salon had closed when I posted here. Regarding the Post Office, as I said go and ask them.
    • My annoyance Is with the fact that the gym is being closed for 5 weeks for refurbishment but we dont have an option to freeze our membership if the only facility we use is the gym. Apparently Peckham gym is closed at the same time for refurbishment which I think is pretty stupid. Therefore the nearest gym for all the members from ED leisure centre and Peckham leisurecentre is the one in Camberwell . I lament the everyone active days..at least I could attend gyms near to work and outside Southwark
