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?"

    • Moving into a new place and need both a wardrobe and a chest of drawers, ideally collection Friday. Thanks!
    • Lordship Lane has two dry cleaners, three pizza places and an Italian selling pizza, two burger places, three bakeries, two hardware (ish, I'm thinking AJ Farmer here), God knows how many coffee and charity shops, two Italians, three nail salons, five wine shops... Where was the abject outrage when Dynamic Vines opened up literally next door to Cave de Bruno? But I don't see his customers decamped next door - no, those stalwarts are still out in force every night.  In Roman times all businesses were clustered by product. It's what kept prices down. Same in any market you go to abroad, they're all selling the same things next to each other.  Why is everyone being so hard on this new place? It's called healthy competition - you can't curtail the expansion of your business on the basis you that might hurt someone else's. 
    • I have a new fixation so any available, please let me know.  Thanks.
    • In restaurant terms I would say a chain manifests when the motivation is no longer “we are a couple/small group who have an idea and love food” who open a restaurant, them another and then a few more BUT THEN PIVOT to “we need capital to rollout out new restaurants so we have leveraged the help of the following investors”  that is the moment it stops being about the chef/food on the plate and becomes about the spreadsheet  so it is POSSIBLE  for a restaurant to have 50 branches and not be a chain - but I can’t think of any  I don’t know chango - by based on the number of outlets they appear to have just crossed/or are about to cross that line
