La Liga reaches a dizzying climax on Saturday and I for one, being poor and without Sky, would love to watch the game. Does anyone know if any pub in ED will be showing the games or offer the possibility of doing so? The Magdala for example?

I don't care - I just want to see a good game. I usually root for Barca but for some reason Madrid's sudden surge towards the top alongside Van Nistelrooy's scoring form means I might go for Real this time.

Just in case you really want to catch Los Merengues ..... possibly best to go to a pub on Sunday ... that being when the matches are.... RVN a cheating thug? Thug or victim of embarrassing conduct on a pitch? hmmmm think on.


Hoping the whites win it personally! Too few brits have plied their trade abroad and failed miserably... would at least like to Mr Beckham do that much.....

I have very strange feelings on this score


I love the way Beckham has come back and proved most people (no one complained when he was dropped from the England team) wrong. I just really admire that. And if he was dead wood when he was dropped then there were at least 6 others before him. This talk of the younger members of the squad resenting him sounds like.. well young English football players these days. Petulant underachievers


But playing for Madrid...? Joining the superstar team to win trophies and gild the lily? And to not do so? Marvelous. Not to spite him but all the players who join them for the same reason. All top level footballers are on silly money but I would love to hear them say out loud something other than "I have just joined club X because they are the best in the world etc etc"


Join a team that's knocking on the door. Or stay loyal to the team you are with. transform them. That will prove how good YOU are. Anything else is glory hunting of the lowest order.


On a related note. Brits plying their trade abroad (ie how few of them) . Or moaning about foreigners over here displacing brit talent and affecting the national teams. Absolute top to bottom, grade A, horse manure. Managers in the Premiership would LOVE to have a British spine to their team. Wenger was so deperate to to that he stuck with Jeffers far longer than anyone in their right mind would... But they just. Are. Not. Good. Enough.


They may have the talent but their attitude usually lets them down. Stop moaning, Cole, Terry et al and do the business. And they are the good ones.. The B-listers... Wright-Philips etc well.. words fail me

Can't believe you back Barca! Do you not remember a wet wednesday May night in Paris last season

Not to mention Henry might be off there!



Oh dear Ladygooner, before you give your full support to Real remember that if Madrid do pull it off this weekend and Ruud remains top scorer then Fergie and Man U collect a ?2m kick back from the sale of Becks and Van Nistlerooy.

well in that case come on real,that will pay rooneys wages for the month. on a different topic(but still football related admin), i listened to arthur smith on radio the other day discussing the merits of the baddiel and skinner hit 3 lions (30 years of hurt).as arthur correctly pointed out it was released in 1996, 30 years after england won the world cup (and arnt we sick of hearing about it), but arthur pointed out that he wasnt hurting in 67,68 or 69 because england were still world champs he only started hurting in 1970 when brazil stole englands crown,so although it would,nt have been as catchy would 24 years of hurt not have been more accurate.

Pretty much agree with you Sean, which is why Liverpool fans love Gerrard so much, he stayed to try and rush them that extra step. As for the Weekend, I'm leaning towards Real just for Beckham. Say what you like about him, but I always respected him as England captain. It wasn't his fault he had a short sighted manager. It also speaks volumes that Real are now suddenly very gutted to be losing him!

I like to watch both teams as they both enjoy playing football in the proper manner but I don't think I could take any more of Beckham's tears if they lose, so I'll be backing Real this time around and to be fair to Beckham he deserves it for the way he has come back into form this season.

Feel a bit sorry for Barca, winning 5 0 still not good enough... Not sure what's better, goal difference or head to head... Leaning towards head to head, as the team that win more games wins, as opposed to a team that maybe had a couple of 6 0 wins against the crap sides edging it on goal difference :-S

      Chicks and ducklings

      By malumbu · Posted

      Hmmm, millions of animals are killed each year to eat in this country.  10,000 animals (maybe many more) reared to be eaten by exotic pets, dissected by students, experimented on by cosmetic and medical companies.  Why is this any different? Unless you have a vegan lifestyle most of us aren't in a position to judge.  I've not eaten meat for years, try not to buy leather and other animal products as much as possible but don't read every label, and have to live with the fact that for every female chick bred to (unaturally) lay eggs for me to eat, there will be male that is likely top be slaughtered, ditto for the cow/milk machines - again unnatural. I wasn't aware that there was this sort of market, but there must be a demand for it and doubt if it is breaking any sort of law. Happy to be proved wrong on anything and everything.

      Food poisoning at Dugard & Daughters - twice!

      By theweekend · Posted

      I don't know how spoillable food can be used as evidence in whatever imaginary CSI scenario you are imagining.  And yes, three times. One purchase was me, others were my partner. We don't check in with each other before buying meat. Twice we wrote it off as incidental. But now at three times it seems like a trend.   So the shop will be hearing from me. Though they won't ever see me again that's for sure.  I'd be happy to field any other questions you may have Sue. Your opinion really matters to me.

      By Sue · Posted

      If you thought they were off, would it not have been a good idea to have kept them rather than throwing them away, as evidence for Environmental Health or whoever? Or indeed the shop? And do you mean this is the third time you have bought chicken from the same shop which has been off? Have you told the shop? Why did you buy it again if you have twice previously had chicken from there which was off? Have I misunderstood?

      By theweekend · Posted

      I found this post after we just had to throw away £14 of chicken thighs from Dugard in HH, and probably for the 3rd time. They were roasted thoroughly within an hour of purchase. But they came out of the oven smelling very woofy.  We couldn't take a single bite, they were clearly off. Pizza for dinner it is then. Very disappointing.
