He may not be Messi and it pains me to say it but he is one of the most exciting payers we have the privilege to watch in the PL right now - whenever it looks like he's peaked or they've 'found him out' he keeps doing it. I don't mind saying it - he is fucking different class.

Same here. After the appointment of the crypto-fascist I'll be cheering if they go down.

If QPR win tonight they will still have an outside chance, otherwise curtains for them too along with Reading...

Certainly is. He was getting 'doubled-up' on out on the wing, but he's since drifted into the middle more, and therefore harder to pick up. I reckon he will stay for at least one more season if Spurs quailfy for CL, but eventually he'll leave unless Spurs start seriously challenging for the title...

One good season doesn't make a world class player, let's have this conversation in a few years, and if he's anywhere near Ronaldo or Messi, I'll happily admit I was wrong, can't see him being in their league but we'll see.

So he'll be leaving at the end of the season then. ;)

Bale is the stand out player in the premiership. Everyone accepts that. Not sure what world class means but he needs to do it in the champions league to get proper recognition and acceptance across Europe. Wales are prob not going to be at the cutting edge of international football, so it's down to Spurs to do something in the Champions League, to get him the big challenge be needs, or he will go elsewhere. Will be interesting to see his progress, he keeps getting better at Premiership level but bigger platforms lie ahead.

    • 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.
