If I can remind you of my team for this year. They appear to be top of the Premiership as we speak....and a favour from Spurs tomorrow could make it up to 5 teams with a chance for the title...

Interestingly you can still get >7/1 on Man City to win the league (and 45/1 on Tottenham).

Arf! That really made me laugh. Mac is so smitten with O'Neill.


Really looking forward to today's footy. Obviously I want Spurs to turn Man Utd over but I'd also love to see Liverpool win as well. COYS!

More matches than posts today on the football thread.......poor.


Spurs now 50/1. Seems the market thinks they missed a chance. But surely they are better than 50/1. Worth a pound of Jah's money I would have thought at only 8 points behind.


There seems to be an "assumption" that Man United will improve further and win the league. But who knows.

I think it's good etiquette to not post the results up on here before MOTD for those who do not know the results and want to watch it without knowing what they were. Spoils the enjoyment somewhat otherwise.



Also - Mac, I think Spurs have a better chance of winning the Champions League than winning the Premiership.

Spurs v Mancs was an anti climax, and had spurs gone for it after the loony Rafael was sent off, they would have emerged victorious. As for Rafael, the first offence was a straight red for me, and no different from Gerrards a week back, so he can have no real complaints. But he responed like a Tasmanian devil to his sending off, and Rooney felt obliged to stick his oar in and got a deserved yellow for his trouble.


The saddest sight of the weekend was a dejected Avram Grant at the end of the Arsenal v West Ham game. The sight of the directors sat up in the upper tier like some latter day emperors in a gladitoral arena was sickening. I just hope West Ham don't end up with Allardyce. Mind you O'Neil has exactly set the footballing world alight has he? Spent a fortune at Villa and acheived sod all.

I dunno, if you look at were Villa finished last year (6th) and bar Arsenal spent less than the other 4 in the top 6, then they finished where they should of. Look at where Villa are now. See? No nor do I.


Anyway the situation at West Ham is a disgrace, the last thing we needed were a trio of publicity hungry pillocks lording it over Upton Park. Anyone notice David Sullivan's outfit? It says a lot about the man.


I also can't believe I found myself agreeing with Alan Green the other day when he said, "exactly why does Karen Brady need a newspaper column, is it so she can undermine the manager inside AND outside the club"


I'm beginning to wish for relegation, if only to put those three in their place.

Still, even tho they pontificated loudly about sensible wages last season, their new signing on 90k a week played a blinder on Saturday. A blinder for Arsenal admittedly but even so


They are odious aren?t they? To see people like Grant and O?Neill have to deal with them is unedifying to say the least

    • 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.
