Thats rich given your performance, like I said take a look at yourself. Maybe take a trip to Old Stratford and people might take you seriously, until then, run along.

A good performance from United last night, although the away goal doesn't mean very much, a win's a win. I thought we controlled the game well although Torres should have done better and there was a good shout for a penalty at the death. I think we could have the measure of them at OT but I wouldn't want to play Barca or Real like that.

Only 9 days to go for the Manchester Derby semi-final at Wembley on the 16th. I am going to this (thanks to lovely lassie who got tickets - you know who you are x). Just SO, SO excited, it's unbelievable.


Can't wait!


Anyone else going? Bluerevolution or sandperson perhaps?

I know exactly what you mean Emerson.

I was cock a hoop when our reject Nayim scored 'that goal' to beat Seaman from the half way lane for Zaragoza a few years back.

When I saw Adebayor was in the Madrid side I would have bet my mortgage on that bugger scoring.

It wasn't meant as advice or a dig for that matter.


Its something that really pisses me off with supporters at LFC and I'm sure United have the same problem. People (season ticket holders or not) who go to every game that got the team to the semi final or final often miss out on tickets because all of a sudden that match is very popular. Most clubs have introduced a loyalty system so that people can't just decide they want to go to that match. It's my opinion that its unfair that you can not go to any matches all season and then get a semi final or a final ticket, hence the comment about attending earlier matches.

Sorry Anna. You know what it's like on here sometimes.


Totally agree about the tickets. I'd love to go but it would be a bit 'fair weather' of me. I know there was also the debate on the other side of this, certainly at United, about the season ticket holders and the automatic cup ticket scheme which meant they had to buy the tickets whether they waned them or not. I think this has been revised now.

ooooh lovely...North or South? (Hope they weren't affected by the terrible earthquake).


Anyway, may the best team win. Should be a good game.

    • 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.
