My view is that Liverpool have no moral values. After all, last January they spent ?60m on two players, one accused of assaulting a woman and the other known for cannibalism on the pitch.



edit to remove a double negative.

No I've never been racially abused, and I never said that because he didn't react, it couldn't have happened. Again with the putting words in my mouth.


Zidane was a pro too by the way.


I think the only thing that is clear is that UDT doesn't like Liverpool, and so will spout any old shite about them.


Like I've said several times, IF there is any evidence of wrongdoing, he should be punished. Until that happens, most sane people won't be convinced of his guilt just because they don't like his club.

Otta, your statements seems to be getting more ridiculous as time goes by. I've never said I hated Liverpool or any other clubs for that matter. All I did was merely pointed out Liverpool's moral position when it comes to buying players.


Zidane acted unprofessionally during the World Cup final game against Italy. Are you seriously saying he acted entirely professionally in the sending off incident?

I wasn't aware any morality existed nowadays in the world of transfers or football for that matter. If a player is important enough to a club they will overlook just about anything so long as it doesn't interfere with his ability to play.


Off the top of my head I can remember MU sacking Tommy Doc for having being caught having an affair with the wife of another employee. You could say that was a moral stance. Anyone think of other examples?

AM,


Glen Hoddle and Terry Venables as England managers. Their sackings were totally unrelated to football. Terry Venables had technically resigned his position but there were question marks about his business interests though.


Also, Mutu sacked by Chelsea for taking drugs.

Okay then. I'll be sure to do more research about the allegation. Clearly I'm missing the evidence that proves Suarez guilty.

At the other end of the spectrum, Arsenal supporting Tony Adams after his prison sentence for drink driving, and Paul Merson after admitting his addictions to drink, drugs, and gambling. Oh and Paul Davis after breaking an opponents jaw.

If memory serves me correctly Patrick Vieira accused Neil Ruddock of racism a few years back, during a rather unpleasant exchange which saw Vieira spitting at "Razor"? Ian Wright also famously accused Peter schmeichel of racism during a typically friendly encounter.

Really?? I thought it was because the opponent had raked the back of his ankle, or part of his leg, with his studs??

Well he certainly had problems fot at least two months after Davis walloped him!! ;-)

      Chango - New local gem alert!

      By Earl Aelfheah · Posted

      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?

      Chango - New local gem alert!

      By Sue · Posted

      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 🤣

      Chango - New local gem alert!

      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.

      Very economical. Are you available for events? I've got a gathering of 5000 coming up soon. What could you knock up with two little fishes and five loaves of bread? Cod in breadcrumbs? Fish finger sandwiches? Spanish-style croquetas de bacalao with a Romesco sauce? It's BYOB for beer, so there's no need to worry about that and I've managed to do an unbelievable deal on water and wine. Drop me a DM on here or ask for Dave or Jesus (pronounced 'Hay-Zooze') in The Herne, left hand side of the bar.
