Seems a strange decision but let's face it he hasn't made a decent decision since signing him. It's going to be interesting to see what happens over the summer at Liverpool. Talk of new owners, possibly a new manager with the personnel changes that brings. Do you think a Europa league win will keep him in his job Matt?

Apologies but it's football banter- No offence intended

Matt - Torres seemed only half interested while he was on the pitch but I agree that there was no reason to substitute him for a vastly inferior player. Not a great game and a draw probably the right result. As an outsider it sums Liverpool up as a Jeckyl and Hyde team with too many inconsistent performances - they don't look like a coherent team. One of the photos on BBC shows Gerard celebrating his goal and half the team just trooping off back to the kick off.

Edited because I've changed my mind.

Ngog has fantastic movement but physically he is too weak to lead the line by himself. IMO his development would be greatly enhanced by playing alongside Torres rather than always as his replacement (he ain't going to learn much from the less than nimble footed Kuyt!). It may also benefit Torres having someone else up top to drag the opposition around to create space.

Matt - I agree that N'Gog would improve playing alongside somebody but not sure if Torres is the right player for somebody like him to play alongside - I don't see Torres as being that 'sharing'. Also I think that Kuyt is one of the players who appear to give a f*ck about the team but is used to fit round other players than use his abilities.

Watching that West Ham goal again on MOTD I hadn't realised how far he'd run from his own half before delivering that cross for the striker to make it 2-2. Perhaps a goal of the season contender.


Kuyt certainly has the right attitude but as a footballer he has done very well to make a career at the top level.

      Chango - New local gem alert!

      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" ?

      Poundland East Dulwich soon to be replaced by Tesco Express

      ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
