So Arry tries to buy Charlie Adam and Phil Neville? I think he just likes spending other peoples money.

Heh. I may have missed a quote ms something, but on the bbc website, all the Torres quotes are about how great Chelsea is, and how he's always wanted to play for a top team. Not even a farewell to Liverpool. Ian StJOHN was on radio 4 earlier, and he sounds well pleased about getting Carroll. He seems to think Torres has been plotting this for a while, and hasn't been tryin for the reds. No idea if that is true, but he's certainly shown no love for the pool.

Looks like Anna may have misjudged this "boyfriend"? off he goes without even a backward glance. Cheeky bugger. I think this really is poor show after the hero worship he received at Liverpool.


A bit disrespectful in implying Chelsea is his first "top team" too. I respect his right to move on but he has to be diplomatic and perhaps a statement to Liverpool fans is in the pipeline.


Liverpool may adopt a more conventional style of play with a big centre forward??? Which might be a bit more exciting to watch, even if some think its less graceful. Lets see.

I hope so, because this


"This is the target for every footballer - to try to play for one of the top clubs in the world,"


Is taking the p!ss.


Is Carroll a better player than Torres? Nope. But will Liverpool score more goals now? Oh yes


I think so too, and as well as Carroll, we're forgetting Suarez


Suarez, 24, will wear the coveted number seven shirt, made famous by his boss Kenny Dalglish.


The striker scored 49 goals in 48 games for Ajax in the Eredivisie last season.



Now it may not be the greatest league, but he definitely knows where the net is!


As I said before, I'm actually quite excited, and good riddance to a player who thinks he'll do better elsewhere, and so didn't even bother for the team paying his wages.

well, we managed to get a 250k young greek centre-forward who will be lucky to get a game for the reserves, however we did show our ambition in declining an offer from Spurs of 250k for Phil Neville. Isn't football great? Really excited about the Emirates tonight, can not wait!

Leyton Orient.


Not Spurs as they want to knock it down and build another one.

Not West Ham as it's too close to Leyton Orient's ground.

After what happened to Chris Hughton at Newcastle who'd want to manage them now under their current regime? How many times did Alan Pardew say that Andy Carroll wasn't for sale? Surely he must now know what he's up against. He's had the club's prize asset sold for ?35 million and given no money to spend. He's just another puppet manager at the mercy of an owner who has made it very clear by selling arguably their best player against the manager and the fans' wishes. An owner that quite clearly doesn't give a fuck about the club or the fans and is only in it for the money.
Well not according to Pardew. He, in his own words, heard about the bid at 8pm. Told them to refuse it. Carroll who obviously was aware of it asked for a new contract, like NOW. Sale agreed because of this and Pardew told he would have all of the money to spend on players.

"Leyton Orient.

which is true as far as it goes but realistically what would be the point of that - would LO acquire 40 thousand fans to fill the thing?


there are pros and cons to the other argumenst


I agree with football grounds NOT having a running track (which it would do with West Ham bid)

but equally I agree that no British bid would be worth anything if this committee reneged on a key promise before being awarded the bid

I think it's West Ham's manor (ish) so would support that - but for the reasons I mention above I don't support the athletic track

Spurs moving would be just about do-able (in the face of justified and massive opposition from their own fans and Hammers alike) - but they would have to jettison the Tottenham bit of the name (just as Arsenal lost the Woolwich bit years ago)

    • That's a disgusting slur against an innocent driver who was probably just on their way to drop off freshly-baked muffins at an orphanage when they had to swerve out of the way of a so-called "cyclist", and anyway traffic lights are just a Marxist conspiracy by Southwark Council to slow traffic down and force people out of cars, so we're all better off without it.
    • Frothy coffee? Not really my bag. A double espresso and a Marlboro Red? It's the breakfast of champions. The only dark drink with a creamy head which should ever be drunk by a man of my age is Guinness. I've also become lactose intolerant recently, meaning I get very impatient around milk. You make a fair point, but those legal channels are available for them to recover their repair, and legal, costs and, as I said: "It's up to them if they [Southwark] want to do that, of course." There's three or four grands worth of Cat N write-off, wrapped round a post there (more, if it's broken down for parts) causing problems. If they can't be arsed sorting that, I'm not holding my breath. Even Southwark couldn't screw their numbers up enough to make shifting the post back through circa 15 degrees more than a couple of grand, so there's a drink in it for everyone. It's a bit 'leany' just now, yeah, but I haven't noticed anyone having to limbo under it to get to Superdrugs. Or, they could make a feature of it. Pisa has made a fortune out of not sorting the underpinnings of their tower. Let's say it's an installation by someone called, I don't know, Bangsy, and it's a physical reminder that SE22 cannot deny its proximity to Peckham, Camberwell & Brixton. It's about the only thing that would get me back into The Bishop since the many dark afternoons of the soul I spent with Clarence*, the world's most depressed Weimaraner. *RIP big fella. You were always a great listener.   Come on Spartacus, don't be shy. You know exactly where the Green Cross Code Man was in 1973: less than a hundred yards away, on North Cross Road. https://youtu.be/C-XwVVMiCO4?si=rt8kQllev0t1Lgdi For some years, I found it quite difficult to go into The Forrester's after many long afternoons of the soul with Dave Prowse* (The Green Cross Code Man). *RIP big fella. You were always a great listener.  
    • Loving the arm chair speculation on here  Blimey how long before this gets spun out to be a drug dealer welding a sawn off whilst driving away from a smash and grab at the coop cash machine flipped his car and landed on a bollard type post  Where's the green cross code man when you need him ?
