Or they might never be asked to get involved with the embryonic Federation of Black Players...

Unfortunately Peter Herbert effectively is the Society of Black Lawyers, or at least he's the Chairman, and I think he was a founder. My purely personal opinion is that he is a very ho-hum lawyer who has made race relations/racial politics his main activity (nothing wrong with that) but is also a rampant self-publicist, and the whole Chelsea/Clattenburg story reeks of the latter.

I'm Chelsea'd out, the sooner the FA reports it's findings the better.

Any thoughts on the England game tonight?

Can't see the logic of having a mid-week friendly at this time of year, but looks like the Royster is treating it as an opportunity to blood some youngsters*, which can only be good. A shame Wilshire and Cleverley aren't both playing, would've liked to see how they got on together in midfield.


*I'm Zaha'd out too...

SFL to revitalise Scottish footy by re-merging the Premier League with the rest and renaming their leagues Premiership, Championship and Div 1 with play-offs etc etc...



Stroke of genius or flogging a dead horse?


Re tonight - about as interested as I'd be if it were a genuine youth game.

Arsenal 2 - Tottenham 2 (wanted to say spurs 3)

Liverpool 3 - Wigan 0 (my first trip to Anfield in over 10 years, so hoping for a good show... May well be disappointed)

Man City 2 - Aston Villa 2

Newcastle 3 - Swansea 2

QPR 2 - Southampton 1

Reading 1 - Everton 2

West Brom1 - Chelsea 1

Norwich 1 - Man Utd 3


Fulham 2 - Sunderland 0


West Ham 3 - Stoke 1

Arsenal 1 Tottenham 1

Liverpool 2 Wigan 0

Man City 1 Aston Villa 0

Newcastle 0 Swansea 1 (Newcastle look poor to me)

QPR 1 Saints 0

Reading 0 Everton 2

West Brom 0 Chelsea 2

Norwich 1 Man U 2

Fulham 2 Sunderland 0


West Ham 2 Stoke 2 Plus a neck ache for me as I am going to this Hoofball spectacular!

Does anyone know how to adjust the picture settings on a widescreen TV, I'm worried I might miss half of the game...

Automatic 5 point penalty for exotic holiday name dropping.

Automatic 10 point penalty for anyone who accuses me of making up the rules as I go along...stay lucky

Ha bloody ha,


Newcastle, Stoke, Norwich and Reading have a higher long ball %age right now -


Spurs, Everton, Villa and West Brom are not so far off either and the Irons reliance on the hoof has decreased over the last few games.


That said, a neck brace might be a wise precaution quids.

    • 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. 
    • 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.
