I watched Bent a lot when he was at Ipswich and to be honest I wasn't 100% sure he had the quality, but there is no doubt about his determination and application. He has a point to prove having been 4th choice despite the big price tag, so I'm not surprised he's taking no prisoners at the moment.

Champions League - 3rd round Qualifying draw


Was really hoping we'd draw Gothenburg or Vienna as I have friends that live in both. Looks like we've a trip to Belgium though. If my knee is up to it and I can get tickets I am definitely going to go. :)):)-D

Anorthosis/Rapid Vienna v Olympiakos

Vitoria Guimaraes v IFK Gothenburg/Basel

Shakhtar Donetsk v Domzale/Dinamo Zagreb

Schalke 04 v Atletico Madrid

Aalborg/Modrica v RANGERS/Kaunas

Panathinaikos/Dinamo Tbilisi v Sheriff Tiraspol/Sparta Prague


Updated in full now. :))


Forgot that FC Twente is now managed by The Wally with the brolly.

As is well with the World - Adebayor says he is staying - again! Looking forward to the Emirates Cup this weekend - Juve today and Real Madrid tomorrow - both on Sky at 4pm. WIth McClaren in charge of FC Twente I would hope that his team won't cause us too much trouble!

Dedication is what you need :-S


Have been up since 6.30am, however it has all been worth it. I am the proud owner of two tickets to our first home game of the season. :)-D>:D<


This is doubly good as our next home game after that is Man Utd. The loyalty system at LFC means that you have to have certain games on your fancard to get tickets. The fact that I have the only other home game this season, should mean that I stand a good chance for Man Yoo too. (tu)


Disappointed not to get in the Kop though. ;-)

Er, in a word, No. Read a thing about him though which sounded promising... When have you seen him, in reserves, or in a friendly?

"Freddie Ljungberg to leave hammers and possibly retire from football at the age of 31"


For six million squid to be bought of his ?85k a week contract for having done next to nothing. Ouch.

I can't really blame him I guess, but players (and their agents) really are bleeding the game dry aren't they.

No wonder only the really big clubs can compete.

I really cannot see the point of paying him off, we lose ?6 mio yet gain ?85k a week and what happens when players start to get injured. Yes we are long Midfielders but someone like freddie can help with the kids coming through. Yes I am a unhappy hammer.

I'm about to be really girly here, but Freddie looked fantastic in those pants. Perhaps he should just do that from now on......


Ngog - He's been playing in the friendlies Keef. Has scored twice now as has Torres. :)-D Which reminds me, I have a Kop ticket for the Lazio game on Friday night, but can't go because of my knee. Do you know of anyone who might want it? Gutted I can't go, Keane's first game at Anfield too. :(:(


Will be on the telly at my place if you want to come over and watch it.

I'm just incredulous at the way West Ham have gone about their business with Freddie Lungburst. I know they had to get him off their wage bill. He was on 85 grand a week, was constantly injured, only played 35 games and leaves with a six million pound pay-off. Nice work if you can get it.

    • Gone to the better hunting grounds during this local ongoing dry spell.
    • The Dreamliner has an impeccable service history, you are more likely to get mugged on the way to the airport than having any issue with your flight, that's how safe it is!  Have a great trip.
    • Maybe. Does that kill grass? If so, possibly the same dog that has left its poo outside my house - pretty sure it's not fox poo.
    • Here you are, intexasatthemoment (you seem to have been in Texas for a very long time!) We went to three of the recommended places yesterday,  as they were all in the same road (just near Wallington)  and I needed to give the car a run to avoid another slap on the wrist from my garage (and another new battery). Here's my findings. BARNES Parking We thought we would go here first as it was the earliest to close on a Sunday (3pm). There was no apparent entrance or anywhere to park. One notice said do not park on grass verge, and another one said staff cars only! Flittons was opposite but I'd already passed the entrance, so I had to drive down the road, turn round at the next available place (covered in signs saying do not park here) and park in Flittons car park! Plants Barnes  specialise in hardy perennials, so that was basically what they had, but an excellent selection, and many more unusual plants (or at least, plants you probably wouldn't find in a garden centre), eg Corydalis,  lots of different varieties of Epimediums, Trollius, some lovely Phygelius, lots of different ferns). The plants were divided into sections according to whether they needed sun or shade or could cope with both. They had a particularly good selection of  shade loving plants. There was really useful information above  each group of plants, which meant you didn't have to look at individual labels. All the plants looked in good health and  very well cared for. They don't produce a printed catalogue, but they  said their plant list was online (I haven't looked yet). I assume most of  the plants they have at any one time are when it's their flowering season (if they flower). I wasn't intending to buy anything, though was very tempted, but I'd definitely go here again once I've sorted out my overgrown garden. Other Stuff Don't think they sell pots, compost, etc. No cafe/tea room and I didn't see a loo, but Flittons is just over the road. FLITTONS  Parking Easy to park Plants Sorry, but mostly terrible. There was one section with vegetables and the rest was flowering plants. There was a general feeling of delapidation. Some of what was on display was actually dead (surely it would only take a minute to remove dead plants) and a lot of the rest was very poorly maintained, eg gone to seed, weedy, apparently unwatered, or with a lot of dead leaves. There was a notice asking for volunteers to work there, so I can only assume they can't afford to pay staff. Other stuff There was a notice to a play barn (?) saying invited people only, so I think they must host kids' parties or something. They redeemed themselves with a cosy little cafe with savoury stuff, nice cakes, iced chai and oat milk, and a loo. Also a selection of books and CDs on sale for charity. If you want an Andrews Sisters CD, you can find one here. There is a small shop with gift shop type stuff and a display of the history of Flittons, which apparently is family owned since the sixties (I think it was). I suspect that the arrival of Dobbies down the road must have greatly affected Flittons' fortunes, which is sad. DOBBIES  Parking Easy in theory once you had navigated a rather narrow entrance, but it was very busy so it took a while to find a space. Plants  Lots of plants, well maintained but I imagine their turnover is high. Lots of nice bedding plants for hanging baskets, window boxes etc  to cater for all tastes (ie some of it wasn't mine, but fine if you like those horrid little begonias (my opinion only) but they did have some nice (in my opinion) stuff as well. I was tempted but decided to buy from North Cross Road market. Fair selection of climbers, various different Clematis etc. I'd be happy to buy plants from here. The prices seemed reasonable and they were in good condition. Other stuff  It's a big garden centre with all that entails these days, so a large area selling garden furniture and storage, tools, animal collars, pots, all the usual stuff you would expect. Very helpful staff. There's a cafe which we didn't check out, charging points for electric cars, a Waitrose (no idea how big, we didn't look). Only on our way out did we see that there was a drive through "express section" for compost etc, which was annoying as I wanted compost and hadn't seen any anywhere,  but I was getting tired by that time. Just Down the Road A ten minute drive away is Wilderness Island, a nature reserve in Carshalton, which is well worth a visit. We heard eleven different kinds of bird (according to Merlin) and saw a Kingfisher flying down the tiny river!
