Luckily he was not on form today!

Fell asleep in MOTD this evening and woke the find deja vu, before realising it was the Boro Millwall match.


Capacity crowd I see at the Riverside (twinned with the Emirates), 35,000 (although for some reason it was recorded as 15,377


Similarly there was also a sell out at the Emirates, recorded as 60,079 when the ground holds 60,361 so 282 unsold seats which is a shame for such a big club

Bale's excellent form is a double edge sword for Spurs' fans, he could get them into the Champions League but will he still be there next season?...can't see Madrid or Barca not going for him this summer, esp Madrid as it's 'let's elect a new President' time again...

Opposing fans keep trying to wind up Spurs supporters with that kind of talk. Daniel Levy would strike a very hard bargain for any club wanting to buy Gareth Bale. He's currently on a four year contract, he likes the club, he's playing well, he's happy. If we can qualify for the Champions League and we get another couple of good players in I think he'll stay at least another season with Spurs. There is of course still a chance of glory this season in the Europa League and that would be a very nice little bit of icing on the cake if we were to win that. Anyway, Hammers dealt with. Gooners up next and that is never an easy fixture. COYS!

Bale only has to look at how things have turned out for Luka Modric at Real Madrid to see that sometimes the grass is not always greener.

I think Andre Villas Boas should also take a lot of credit for Bale's current form. He's come in and breathed new life into the club. At the end of last season we lost Modric, Van Der Vaart and Ledley King. Effectively the spine of the team. Not to mention new signings needing time to bed in. Change in footballing philosophy too. We've had our only two recognised strikers out injured or away on Africa Cup Of Nations duty at one time or another and we've coped without them. We're now scoring and winning games in the last few minutes instead of losing them. We're unbeaten in 2013 and now up to third. Things are looking good and I'm well happy. Harry Who?

Why not, he's now copying Ronaldo's free kick technique, even the pre-kick step backs and puffing his cheeks...just needs to work on his tan more.

Was AVP ever doubted by objective observers?


The same core of Chelsea players have played when they feel like it and ejected every manager since mourinhio. Benitez is latest one to give them his mind and feel their wrath


Said it before but screw them and the egos they rode in on


Ideal for me this season is spurs and arsenal get CL spots at expense of Chelsea. Benitez is a good man but he will be out of that cesspool club regardless.

Passing a person reading the Standard yesterday - headline - "Arsenal have ?120m" .... ? What was the detail behind the headline (did anyone read it) - did it put to bed the myth that Arsenal dont have money to compete?

      New Empanada Place on LL

      By beansprout · Posted

      Totally agree regarding not supporting chains. Gail’s was fine but last time I went in Feb this year, actually walked out Fayetteville looking at menu and waiting 15 minutes to even get glass of water and not busy at all. Staff gone down hill - sooner it goes the better… Always prefer to support non chains - so many lovely places with good food to choose from with pleasant staff who know about customer service and sadly, non English which says a lot for our culture, pubs are also becoming abit of a hit and miss affair but maybe just unlucky. At the end of the day all about the chef. Still abit unclear where new place is located - is it down the road from Goose Green where parade of shops are before Peckham Rye?

      Surely only where the local businesses offer clear advantages, otherwise you are rewarding what should be failure. I want to be served by a better bakery than Gail's, not a worse but local independent one. Certainly give a local independent some time to get the offer right, but don't buy goods which are worse and or more expensive just because the outlet isn't a chain.

      Let’s just boycott all chains in favour of local businesses.  Places like Gail’s popping up everywhere has a very damaging impact on small businesses. It’s just the same as the new empanadas place but on a bigger scale. I’ll say it a million times more, we hold the power with our choices. Let’s use our power to look after ourselves and our environment (which includes small local family businesses). And yes, I also love Chacarero.
