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)

    • It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face. 
    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded
