A couple of interesting observations from the Arsenal game yesterday.


Firstly, the Bendtner goal. It was a nice touch that after all the shite he got for miss kicking what was a very difficult volley, on the full, he not only smiled about it but got the chance to have a bit of banter back with the Hudd fans after scoring.


Secondly, what a dive! If that had of been a United player certain people on this forum would have been shooting steam out of their ears and bashing their keyboard until their fingers bled.


Thirdly, that penalty run up. I'm sure there were also certain people on here who savaged Ronaldo for similar tactics with a stuttering (and possibly illegal) run-up.

Like I said before far too sensitive bordering on paranoia. I watched the fake Ronaldo and his multi millionaire buddies at Real Madrid get beaten by Osasuna last evening. And surprise surprie, because things didn't go his way, the failing arms, the rolling eyes and looks to heaven were the order of the day. Same old Chrissy boy.

Sandperson, have you ever stopped to think why people make comments about Man Ure and penalties. The alarmingly regularity with which they are either given penalties or appeals from lesser clubs are waved away, and the fact they are inexorably linked with favourable decisions, may colour such comments. Or do we ALL just make it up as we go? Jeez

Even more boring that they meet in Cup finals too. As SCSB79 pointed out, go back back to having a larger league and meeting twice a season.

Ah, Man Ure. One of my favourite of your clever little word plays. It's like Stephen Fry is on the forum. I didn't mention the regularity of penalties I mentioned the cheating of one of your players and the fact that the penalty taker took a stuttering run-up, as you would have done had the roles been reversed. Same old Arsenal....

As far as cheating is concerned, Man Ure are masters at it as we all know, as far as I'm concerned it was a legit pen, which is more than be said of those your shower are awarded. Now let it lie.

You're as bad as each other, don't try and take the higher ground. Yes Emerson / Atila is guilty of (massively) overreacting to any criticism of Arsenal, but you in particular SP, just can't sit on your hands, you always have to respond, and frankly it just makes this thread unenjoyable.


Anna didn't use it for a good while, I didn't use it for the vast majority of last season, Red Devil seems to have gone, several others hardly use it, and Quids has now gone for a while at least, and I suspect this thread had at least some part to play in that.


I'm not having a go at either of you as people, I don't know you. But please, for the love of all that is good and holy in this world, stop with the same old shite!

Secondly, what a dive! If that had of been a United player certain people on this forum would have been shooting steam out of their ears and bashing their keyboard until their fingers bled.


Same old sad paranoid, put upon, nobody likes us, the worlds against us, Sanperson.

I hear you Keef but Atila digs at everyone, especially if you support Man Utd or Spurs. If there were any Chelsea fans on here they'd be a target too as they are the three clubs he hates the most. Basically he's a cunt and the main reason people don't post on here anymore and why I am also seriously thinking of quitting too. He was supposed to be banned and as far as I can see he still hasn't learnt his lesson.

I know Jah, I'm not saying it's just between Atila and SP, but SP does seem to get off on winding him up further, then acting all wounded.


I have defended Atila before, and I'm not doing that now. When he came back, I thought he was making an effort to play nice, but that has gone out of the window. I am not putting SP in the same category, but if I was as volatile as Atila, SP would have me spitting deathers too.


Anyway, that's all from me.


Anything interesting happening in the transfer market (too many people hanging around for me to look at the BBC website).

They are not as bad as each other. Emerson/Atila is the clear troll who constantly uses antagonistic posts.


Your suggestion is that people sit on their hands? From what I see most of the time people don't respond but sometimes react to the bait or dare mention something about Arsenal. The solution is not to for people sit on their hands, (too many are doing that already by not contributing to the thread) or to criticise people for occasionally responding to Emerson's bait. The solution is to ban Emerson.

    • A Google search brought up eleven Chango  branches, although they don't all seem to be listed on their website. In the order they came up: East Dulwich, Clapham Common, Mayfair, Wandsworth, City of London, Wimbledon,  Parsons Green, Kensington, Highgate, Richmond, Hampstead. I think it is the positioning of this new branch that has mostly got to me. I accept that they would have to go for where a space became vacant, but Lordship Lane is pretty long, even just the part with shops in,  and choosing to  open a stone's throw away from Chacarero seems mean, to say the least. I wonder if they have made contact with Chacarero. It would be nice to think they had (in a friendly way, obviously!)
    • 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.
