I wouldn't say that. They've only just started on the upgrades. It's well regarded as being a deprived ignored area that desperately needs regeneration. Yes it has a few nice new builds but the structure of the place is pretty poor. Transport links are not good - only buses serve the area. There's 1 decaying train station with very few trains running to it, which is significant as it lies between clapham junction and waterloo - hundreds of trains pass through it every day without stopping. There's no underground close by.

Yes, it's not Hull or Stoke but for South London it's significantly behind it's neighbouring towns. It's on the up but it's still far from what it should be.

I work near Queenstown Road in Battersea in a nice new development/redevelopment of a old Saudia Arabian TV station. There's Battersea Park (Between Victoria and Clapham Junction) and Queenstown Road (between Waterloo and Clapham Junction) station in the area. Closest tube is probably Vauxhall which is 1 train stop or a short bus ride away. The battersea power station site is ripe for development and they're also in the process of planning the enormous redevelopment of the nine elms area including adding a new tube station to wandsworth road and it seems a 2nd to Battersea.

I presume this is one reason why Chelsea are looking to move to this area.

Yes, I said there were some nice new builds there. It's not all like that though.

Queenstown Road is what I was talking about. It's there, but most trains pass through it.

Closest tube is probably Vauxhall which is 1 train stop or a short bus ride away.

Which is really poor by London standards. That's not a good distance, hence it's a poor transport link currently.

Yep, I said development was underway and stands to a good improvement. I've not denied it'll be nice when it's all done, but currently it's a long way off. Not sure how any of what I've said is "bollocks" because it isn't. I've been fair in my assessments, not totally negative and I've acknowledged the good points. So take your salty vinegary bollocks Ch3t and rub them up against someone who is actually wrong :)

Torres to score first and Chelsea to win 2.0 45/1 odds on sky bet. Stuck £1 on!
Newcastle to beat shitty 2.0 25/1 £1 bet
unlikely but funny, Arsenal 3 Norwich 3 250/1 £1 bet

just seen papa cisse's goal on football focus again, I love the look between pardew and drogba when it goes in, they both look at each other near the sideline and just shake their heads lol

The amount of times Song plays that exact pass for RvP to score from is ridiculous.

Yep. Really hope Norwich get something from it, they've been at least as good as Arsenal. Good at the back and always looking dangerous on the counter. Paul Lambert really seems to know what he's doing, next Everton manager after Moyes replaces SAF i reckon.
