The Football.....

[Aperitif]

Fergie, Fergie what's the score??!!

It was a three for all - or so Radio 5 live told me.
Who won?

Fergie, Fergie what's the score??!!

Terry, Terry what's the score

Not a bad result in the end for us (Liverpool) I suppose, in our quest for 4th spot, (and cup double) although it wouldve been nice to see that lot get a spanking. The Toon had better calm down though!
Bring on Tottingham tomorrow.

Arsenal will be back to being shyte for their next game. No worry there.

What a midfield Arsenal have, once they are all fit that is ......
.......Ramsey, Wiltshire, Ox Chamberlain & Walcot !!!!!

Yeah, a really good young (mostly) English midfield. From what I have seen of them Alex O-C and Theo seem to work well together. They just need a Patrick Viera to add a bit of steel.

Is he out on Bale?

Perhaps if Arsene could/or should off load Arshavin, Rosicky & Yossi he could finance a move for a 'Viera' type midfielder ?

Surely he should have enough money left over in the coffers after the sale of Cesc. I haven't seen enough of Rosicky to comment, but I always liked Yossi when he was at Chelsea - a bit light weight but skillful and could score too. Arshavin seems to have lost his mojo big time and has become something of a boo boy. I thought he'd go in the window. Shame, because he has been good in the past but for whatever reason this isn't his season.

Welling United and Dartford both doing well, hope one, or even both of them, can get up in to the Conference. I used to live around your way, how is Belvedere now?!

Sorry it's taken me a while to reply! Depending on how long ago you were around this way (I've been here since 1985!) not a great deal has changed and it still feels like it's the part of Bexley that the council would prefer wasn't there or would like to push over the border into Greenwich! The old Victorian paddling pool on Heron Hill has gone and there's now a 'splash park' for kids in it's place. There's a massive B+Q on the site of the old Erith and Belvedere football club ground and ASDA are trying to get half of it but the council won't let them! The Chequers pub on Picardy Hill has gone and there's a new block of flats there. The lower road still gets flooded when it rains too much and we still get the smell from Crossness sewage works on some hot days! On the plus side there are still some good little grocery shops which undercut the 2 supermarkets (wine is £2 cheaper!) and maginificent views across the Thames!

Not forgetting, of course, that le Tour came through in 2007! That was a day to remember!

Thanks for replying, you've gone and made me feel homesick now, must be something to do with the mention of Crossness! I also moved to Belvedere in 1985 after being brought/dragged up in Erith, eventually left the area in 1997 so remember all the places you mentioned.

Harry not guilty BTW.

Belvedere is getting a little smarter, bit by bit. You should drop by some time.

Travesty of justice

That probably happened because I left! I'm actually returning to England in March, for a quick visit, so will definitely take your advice and go and have a look.

I'm really surprised about that!
