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.

    • The step means Love Dulwich is not disabled friendly though they went to help someone on  crutches up the step last time we were there  much prefer it as a Turkish than café but maybe not for this group   The noise level might be an issue as it’s all hard surfaces though I don’t recall it being noisy. check out Olivelli the menu has a good range  though it’s not the best Italian you can get. There’s also a step up into Maria’s - much smaller but you need to negotiate the step and door at the same time. Olivelli has more room and if I remember right the toilets are on the ground floor. A consideration if steps are an issue The Lordship might be an option. Noise is not usually an issue. We’ve enjoyed various meals there. The ladies toilets are on the same floor as the tables (the gents may be upstairs). The staff are always friendly
    • It’s about chains, and the ethos of family run business versus unhealthy competition

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
