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

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.

    • You implied he did a good job in your first paragraph when you said you would have hated to see Corbyn lead the country through Covid - the alternative being Johnson, presumably? With the results we all saw. Unite - you have a problem with unions? Who work hard to see that their members get a fair deal in their workplace? How exactly are these people and groups "all as bad as each other"? In what way? Labour "purging their party of the far-left" has given us a weak prime minister who has apparently deserted any "left" (aka caring for other people and having decent moral principles) leanings he ever had. Which is why people appear to be leaving Labour in droves and voting, or intending to vote, Green or Lib Dem or for an independent Left candidate. Starmer has shot himself in the foot, in my opinion. But what would I know. What worked?! I don't know enough about what you are talking about to comment, but "believing" you know the reason someone did something does not make it true. I don't believe that Corbyn ever got "starstruck" or "forgot about his politics", but if you can provide evidence that those things are true, then fair enough. I don't think you can, though.
    • I think you need to get a grip If it's who I am thinking of, she's a young black girl in her twenties, has braids with bright colours through them and - I suspect - works with her father. It's always the same man behind the wheel and he's older than her, always in the same van, so I'm assuming it's a father-daughter combo which, if it is, I think is rather sweet.  They hustle hard in a job that is poorly paid, has little prospects, is relentless and thankless. The fact that they have stuck it out since the pandemic says a lot about them.  I think she's a lovely girl, who's perhaps a little shy - but she'll smile or chat back if you make the effort with her. And I admire her for sticking with that job for so long. Perhaps she's just one of these people who's naturally a bit clumsy or bashes things, the same way some people are heavy on their feet when they walk. But I wouldn't dream of jeopardising her job because she closes the slams the gate and doesn't 'kiss' the ring doorbell with her fingers.  Perhaps she's being passive aggressive because you are. And perhaps she also wishes she got to spend her time worrying about potential damage to her letterbox or her gate.  As for your gate / letterbox - you're talking about hypotheticals. Has there been any damage? No. Then go and live your life and worry about it when it happens.  (apols we have the wrong person, but some of my points still stand). 
    • Greg did an amazing job! He built a cabinet in my living room and added shelving. A lovely guy and perfectionist who goes the extra mile. He really understands what you want and comes up with various options to meet your price range. Would highly recommend!
    • I love the fact that virtually everyone held their hands out when furlough payments were made yet can't equate massive debt with massive cash payments to keep the economy ticking over.
