Liverpool used to have a policy of only signing players with big ugly noses - Phil Thompson, Ian Rush, Aldridge etc.

What this all proves is that, decade after decade, ugly players win titles.

Yeah the reason is you can be in both halves at the same time, it was a defend while attacking strategy.


Good team Liverpool.

Well done Robbie Keane involved in all 4 goals for Spurs tonight - and turning in the kind of tap in against 'Boro that Dirk Kuyt failed to convert, against same team, last weekend. Funnily enough most of the strikers Rafa has offloaded in recent seasons seem to be more lethal in the penalty box than the man they left behind.. Dirk Kuyt.


Not sure why that is.

On the subject of the ugliest players ever to walk the face of the earth:

1. The Neville Brothers

2. Martin Keown

3. Luke Chadwick

4. Ian Dowie

5. Rio Ferdinand

6. Charlie George

7. Chopper Harris


That'll do for now.


On the subject of last nights games


How did Lucas Neil manage to stay on the pitch last night? Ronaldo - yes Taylor caught him by hooking him around the neck, but was there a sniper in the stand? The best highlights last night were the Man City game, best goal was Carlton Cole, both for execution and lead up play, great goal.


Can someone please tell me why Fergie still refuses to talk to MOTD, is he still perpetuating some petty grudge from god knows when, even 'Onest 'Arry has kissed and made up with the BEEB.

I thibk the Neil and Parker were both lucky to stay on the pitch...I think Cole was unlucky to go...I think Newcastle are in the doo doo.


I think Fergie does now sometimes speak to MOTD but he has a grudge over them about their agent exposure panorama which included his son...


Old bagpuss Redknpapp (Kerchiiiing, another wing on my mansion in Sandbanks) just can't resist spouting off to the media...

I think Parker's histrionics were hilarious, had it been Ronaldo we would never had heard the last of it...great goal by Cole by the way and he shouldn't have been sent off, whereas Neill and Parker should've. As has been said before referee Atwell is not all he's cracked up to be, the lower divisions beckon...

Parkers histrionics were matched by Ronaldo going down clutching his face even when he had been hooked around the neck, which apparently led to handbags in tunnel at half time with Ronnie calling Taylor a rubbish player ( fair comment) and Taylor calling Ronnie ugly & spotty (touche)The thing is with Ronnie is that he has built up a bit of reputation for histrionics and simulation (stupid phrase) over the past few years so he's only got himself to blame.

Haven't seen the highlights yet but according to the radio commentary Ronaldo made a lot of it but it was red card. Suprise, suprise Matthew hasn't been on yet talking about the injustices of referees decisions towards United. Now, where's that flying pig?


Good result last night and still on course for the league so that's nice. All the other stuff is just gravy!

      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.

      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.
