I don't see why he should be laughing (a little smile maybe;-))...Man. U are more than capable of giving those teams a run for their money (in my most biased opinion).

It's a bit of a shame really that Inter and Barcelona are in the same half of the draw, surely it is time for UEFA to mess about with the CL one more time and seed teams from QF to Final (e.g. such as in Tennis). It's almost like a dead rubber now having a French team in the semi final whilst the only real semi final of interest is likely to be Barca v Inter.

This wouldn't surprise me. And judging from Fergie's comments about Rafa today he has clearly bumped his head.

Disagree, I'd like to see all seeding, avoidance of country clashes etc removed. The magic of the Cup and all that!

I'm not going to the game Anna (LUHG and all that) but have read stories that Utd and 'pool fans might have some sort of joint protest about their respective American 'owners', personally can't see it happening but any news about this from the other end of the East Lancs Road?

SOS have been in discussions with the FSF about joint protests with several clubs, but never with just United and Liverpool. One comment about Munich or Hillsborough and there would be carnage.


We did a joint protest with Pompey the other night though, but it seemed to be missed in the press.Some pics here

We tend to get shouted down by some of our fans when we protest as they seem to be blinkered to our financial problems. I imagine that when Torres is sold to fund our debt they may well open their eyes.


That said SOS has only been around for a couple of years, so to have as many members as we do, we are doing quite well.

The only way United and Liverpool fans will march shoulder to shoulder is if the country is invaded by alien forces ;-)


Agree about Ferguson throwing his toys out of the pram. Yes Gerrard should have got a ban but the Ref dealt with it on the pitch (if wrongly) which means the FA cannot then act. I doubt any of the hacks who cover the press conference would have the bottle to mention that but there we are.


As for the game, Liverpool have built up enough confidence this week to give United a very good game Sunday even if they did play last night so may be a little tired. My only real concern as is usual with a trip to OT is who is the Ref...

    • I like empanadas. I don't think Chango is a massive chain - it's got a few stores all in London I believe (stand to be corrected if I've got that wrong). I don't see a problem with them opening on the Lane personally. I really like Chacarero, but that doesn't mean that they should be immune from competition - if they're successful and open a couple more stores, are we then meant to stop supporting them for being a 'chain'?  That opening post does sound a lot like marketing spiel though. Is the OP perhaps connected to the new business I wonder?
    • According to what I can see online, Dynamic Vines and Cave de Bruno sell totally different kinds of wine to each other.  Dynamic Vines  "work with independent winemakers who produce outstanding wine using sustainable practices in the vineyard and minimal intervention in the cellar".  Cave de Bruno specialises in French wines and spirits from small independent producers. So two different USPs, and no doubt two different but overlapping customer bases who can afford these wines. Probably different again to the people mainly  shopping for wine at Majestic or the Co op. On the other hand, the two empanada shops appear on the face of it to be selling virtually identical products. But time will tell, won't it? Let's see how they are both doing in - say - a couple of years' time. Impossible, of course, to compare that with how they would have done if there had been only one of them. I just feel more  sorry for the original one than for  the one which can apparently already afford to have a number of shops in places like Mayfair and Highgate. I'm tempted to buy something there every week, and I don't even like that kind of pastry 🤣
    • Not only can he turn olive oil into Vermouth, but also water into a wine. A true miracle worker.  I wouldn't say a wine shop sells a wide variety of things - and there are two right next to each other.  And once upon a time, upmarket pizza shops were very specific. So were burritos etc. These Argentinian cornish pasties are clearly becoming mainstream; we should consider ourselves lucky to be witnessing this exciting upward trend within our lifetimes and on OUR HIGH STREET. We can tell our grandkids that we remember when there was no internet and no empanadas.  I'm sure that if the family empanada people have a good business head, they'll be able to ride this wave of competition, just like Bruno has. 
    • Very economical. Are you available for events? I've got a gathering of 5000 coming up soon. What could you knock up with two little fishes and five loaves of bread? Cod in breadcrumbs? Fish finger sandwiches? Spanish-style croquetas de bacalao with a Romesco sauce? It's BYOB for beer, so there's no need to worry about that and I've managed to do an unbelievable deal on water and wine. Drop me a DM on here or ask for Dave or Jesus (pronounced 'Hay-Zooze') in The Herne, left hand side of the bar.
