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)

    • Most churches rent out halls for children's' parties but rarely adult parties, Christ Church only does afternoon parties,   The East Dulwich Community centre hires out halls to 9 pm only and all music needs to be on a sound restrictor as is in a residential area. St Johns with St Clements have a small hall but not sure if they allow adult parties. Nunhead Green has a newish community centre with a couple of different size halls. Most places seem to charge around £40 ph  with a deposit of £100/200 (returned if no damage or excess cleaning needed.
    • Hello, Recently there have been various comments made on the forum which have resulted in heated discussions being had. I for one, hold up my hand and wanted to personally thank whoever is keeping the forum going.. remember when it was likely to close. We are all adults and should known when it is right to continue or just ignore or if really feel it necessary comment via pm. I have had a long relationship with the forum and have bought, sold, offered advice and in deed made friends on the forum over the years. It is a public forum after all and everyone is entitled to express their opinion and is also free. I am not as tech minded as most but with the season of good will approaching and-knowing in this economic climate how many people are  struggling, I  thought it would be a lovely idea, to perhaps set up a just giving page to raise funds for a local charity who might appreciate a contribution towards their Christmas festivities… On a practical side, might just be to complicated to administer as I am sure all have charities that we support so my other thought was not me, as I am useless but to set up a just giving page and whatever monies are raised, perhaps contribute to the festivities that use to be run by local shops or whatever.. Maybe even use a local church hall and just make it special for perhaps folk that find it difficult to access events or no access for say wheel chair users.. guess really, one is looking for guidance from the church and of course volunteers. Shoot me down if you must or feel the need but this is my view and no, sadly I won’t be around in the months before Christmas but can help remotely.
