I hate MOTD - that Gary Linekar and Alan Hansen are a pair of jokers. Surely it's time to kick those patronising b'stards off our screens!


I think Sky Sports are head and shoulders above ITV, BBC and Setanta. I know Jamie Redknapp can be irritating but their usual Champions League panel of Souness, Gullit and Hoddle is quality.

Lineker and Hansen maybe tools, but the BBC's coverage of ALL sport is far better than anything sky have to offer. Hoddle is probably the most inarticulate pratt I've ever had the misfortune to listen to, this is probably a punishment for him being a twat in a previous incarnation. Irritating is not the word I'd use for Jamie Redknapp, it would be something far, far, stronger. The only advantage for Sky is that they cover footie more than anyone else including Spanish footabll. I'd rather watch most Spanish games than some of the Premiership games on offer like Bolton, or Blackburn et al.

I don't suppose that has anything to do with the fact Hoddle and Redknapp used to play for Spurs is it Atila?


Liverpool 2 v Sunderland 1

Portsmouth 0 v Chelsea 2

West Brom 0 v Arsenal 2


Blackburn 1 v Everton 1

Fulham 2 v Hull 0

Man City 2 v Aston Villa 3

Newcastle 1 v Man Utd 4

Stoke 2 v Bolton 2

Tottenham 2 v Middlesbrough 1

Hoddle was good player but spouts poop evertime he opens his trap, the same as Redknapp. The way Redknapp tried to explain that Nolans sickening challenge on an Everton player whose name escapes me, in the Newcastle V Everton game, wasn't malicious in spite of the fact that he stamped on the guys shin in a two footed challenge with his face contorted in anger, beggars belief. I think he said something like " he's not that kind of player", oh well that's alright then!!! What a load of Ballacks.

No doubting the mans ability, but if I remember rightly the England manager at the time thought he was a "luxury" player. I disagree quality is quality, and thought he should have had more games for England but unfortunately our managers at the time were only interested in the work ethic, which has put our national game back many years and goes some way to explaining why our home grwon players don't have the touch, skill, technique, and vision of the foreign players that grace our game currently, and was evident in the England v Spain game.

Can anyone else spot the error in this statement?? ;)

Atila, you are right, although lets be honest, most of the current England players don't have the work ethic OR the skills! Oh, and just to go back, I like BBC coverage best, and think Andy Gray is a tool. A funny bloke when not talking football, but just annoys me when on Sky Sports!

Yes jah. I remember tony currie being a great player. Was wasted with games in the home internationals and then dropped for the real games.

Tony Currie was a Sheffield United star in the days when I never missed a home game. Even when we lost you knew watching him had been worth the price of admission alone. He once came to my local pub with half the United team because Geoff Salmons (United midfielder who had gone to my school) was having a party and the Lads all met up there first. It was rather irksome all the women in the pub swooning and drooling at this long blonde-haired, muscular-thighed Norse God who had entered our presence...with his scowling wife in tow who wanted to move back to London...He eventually went to Leeds but has been back at Bramall Lane a while now, no longer blonde and somewhat portly...

What I cant work out is that if a club like the gooners had a world class player who performed briliantly for the first couple of seasons and then drought kicked in for 3 years they would sell the player, thats a given. Maybe Arsen has got Teflon shoulders?


Nice blokes don't win premiership titles, maybe a change is in order.

      Holland & Barrett is coming to Lordship Lane

      By jazzer · Posted

      Time will tell if H&B are loved or loathed, the footfall they get and generate will determine if they stay or go. That's the nature of businesses, they come and go dependant on usage. Examples are M&S, Poundland Local, Co-op, Superdrug, Mons, the chain restaurant/takeaways, the chain Estate Agents, Toolstation, Screwfix to name a few.  As much as people would like to see Lordship Lane remain a high street of independents, it is becoming clear that due to Landlords hiking rents, some are unable to survive. This leaves empty units which some of the chain brands considering it to be worth a "punt". I'd have thought that businesses operating in shops is a better alternative than a high street with multiple empty units, but what do I know, they are just thoughts on the subject.   Take a look at Croydon and Bromley where what were once thriving high streets are in decline.  I have to say that some of the prices charged by the independents are eye watering, and incomes i'd have thought have to be substantial to afford their prices. Personally I'd love a Lidl to open on what was the site of the Harvester, but I guess that would get shouted down, oh the thought of Lidl in Dulwich. Whatever next.

      By Cancerian · Posted

      I don’t know what the shop was originally next to the big St Christopher’s but if Holland and Barrett are taking it over then surely it’s good to have a choice on Lordship Lane? The Camberwell H&B is always empty but the Brixton branch busy.  I remember when the Marks & Spencer food shop was Iceland? Now the M&S is a very busy store and at the time regenerated the high street!

      Nor would I have done, but it came up when I googled John Lewis reviews. Do you not trust TrustPilot reviews? Even allowing for the fact that many people only post reviews when they have had poor service, 27% one star reviews is indicative of something wrong, I would say. That's 27% of 76,392 reviews. That's an awful lot of people who don't  think the service they got from John Lewis was even worth two stars, let alone more. Screenshot attached.
