Why would signing a striker release a keeper? Besides, Reina would never leave us to go to United - and you can quote me on that. I think he is one of the only players left that actually has an decency and is true to his word.


I'm amazed that all you lot (who claim to be avid Manc fans) refer to your beloved team as "Man U". I was of the understanding it's deeply offensive to you. I'm not trying to pick a fight here either, I've just noticed it a lot recently.

Armchair fans who never go to a match. Let's be honest how many of the Man Utd fans on here actually go to Old Trafford or to be more precise have actually ever been?

.......and I've been at the Lane a few times too. Saw Spurs beat QPR once 5-0 compliments of David Puttnam whose season ticket I had. Also there in 86 where the title was on the line and they lost 1-2 to Everton. Was at the Coventry cup final too. Have two brothers who support Spurs.

Even if one of the apparently doesn't want to be there?


Lost a lot of respect for Torres in the last few weeks, it seemed like he thought he was too good to play for Hodgson but has decided to bother under Dalglish. Although as it turns out maybe he's just decided to attract some attention for a transfer.


When all's said and done I'm sure he wants to play in the Champions League which seems at best unlikely with Liverpool for next season so no real surprise Chelsea suits with Drogba on the way downhill, it's the obvious destination ruling out United as they're United, City as they're a gamble and Arsenal as they won't spend money.

"Once I knew Celtic's interest, it was an easy decision for me.


"I would have chosen Celtic, no matter what.


"I would go as far as to say it's a dream come true.



This is a guy who knows the right things to say and wants to win an SPL medal...things are looking up at Celtic.


Eh - anyone heard of him before ?

Can't agree with that Ruffers. Play the ball to Torres' feet and he'll score you a goal. If you try and play fetch with him he's not as effective. Under Hodgson's tactics he wasn't getting a decent service. Look at how much further up the pitch we've played in our last few games. There's the difference.


Re this transfer stuff, it looks as though he's going. Gutted to be honest, in some ways I don't blame him. He was promised lots under our previous owners and nothing was delivered. I don't really blame him. Going to Chelsea will be a bitter pill to swallow though. If it's true, he's an arse fir the way he has gone about it. Time will tell.

I'd agree it's part of the difference but would argue the other part is down to effort. He just didn't look like he was even trying for Hodgson.

Agree with both Anna and Ruffers, Torres got no service earlier this season, but still, he didn't exactly look for it. Anyway, gutted to hear about the transfer request, thought he was turning in to Liverpool through and through, but guess he just fancies a few thousand quid a week more.

Although he could just be doing a Rooney and blackmailing the club for a few tens of thousands a week extra.


It becomes an interesting one, taking Rooney as the example. "i'm off, the club's not showing the ambition".. "Here's a load of money".... "OK, I'll stay"


Tevez - "I'm off" .. City "No, you're not (and presumably lots of other stuff)"... Tevez - errrr OK


Torres "I'm off, no ambition" ...LFC.. "Err, we just signed Suarez" ... Torres .. "erm. Chelsea?"

    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since.
