I agree, there I've said it.

Something much bigger?...didn't have you down as a conspiracy theorist SJ :)

I'm sure Fergie will have a quiet word with him.


Re. Spurs' goal yesterday...had the referee given the penalty and sent Cech off, rather than playing advantage that led to the goal, it may have been a different outcome.

Don't understand why he couldn't have sent Cech off anyway. It was a sending off defence. Refs can go back and book players for foul play (it happened yesterday) after letting advantage go so why not here? Just because Spurs scored does not make it less of an offence.


Ashley Young's diving was pathetic and I'm glad to see Fergie has at least commented on it. He doesn't like it.

He could only send him off for violent conduct (it wasn't) or denying a clear goal-scoring opportunity (they scored so that is cancelled out too).

Was waiting for that! Thats why we had to put a few more past them to avoid the endless 'what ifs', and 'buts. .'

Read 'em and weep Harry. . . .er on second thoughts maybe just weep !

I agree Jah, and a lot of the credit should go to their chairman Dave Whelan...many others would've lost their nerve in January.

If 'arry does get the England job, Martinez along with Brendan Rogers should be a candidate for Spurs manager, but if I was a Spurs fan I would want Moyes. I think after 10 years he will leave Everton this summer. Without investment I don't think he can take Everton any further...he cut a very deflated figure after the semi-final.

Good point Tanday but if ever anyone has earned the right to try its Moyes. Its been a rollercoaster ride with 'Arry but without a smidgen of tactical nous applied when desperately needed hes been found out when it matters most. My beloved chickens have well and truly choked. Its the hope what gets you. ;-)

That's the thing with 'arry. He's obviously great with the players, but has he really got it tactically? After a recent loss, he said something along the lines of "people say we play well like that, but for me, it doesn't work so well".


So why did he play like that, because other people suggested it?!?

Great sides, these days, are able to stifle the opposition as well as producing fluid attacking football.


The problem with Moyes is that he hasn't got hardly any strikers. His latest forward acquisition from Rangers looks like a decent player though.


I think Moyes got the FA cup semi-final tactically right since Liverpool's srike force couldn't really score in a Wayne Rooney brothel. However, the mistakes by Everton gave the Livepool strkers the confidence to score goals that won the game.

      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 🤣

      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.
