2/18 points, no striker .....All Season, only had one anyway and Sam builds his WHOLE game plan around an injury prone single striker with no cover at the same time he spends A lot of money on Downing, when we already had that place covered. I was pragmatic enough for a while to accept BFS and his dogs shit football as a way of assuring our financial safety, he Isn,t even delivering that. His plan b, striker less football, was Sussed out after Tottenham. We have not beaten west Brom, palace, Norwich, Stoke, hull, Aston villa. I am joining the romantics I,d rather we went down with our traditions than this vastly overpaid (15th best in the world) fat sack excuse making dogsh1t of a man...I don,t think he,ll keep us up anyway.

Stay clear of other peoples business might be a good motto at the moment.


The ????s are not happy hammers.

BFS's excuses Saturday - not enough strike power.. not enough central defenders... Christmas fixture congestion tiring players out... bad luck... lack of concentration... complacency... NOT MY FAULT.


Latest wheeze is the shedding of Mladen Petric (brought in on a free as a striker while Carroll was unavailable)


In October, Petric said: "I'm a striker. I want to play and I'm sure I'll get my time on the pitch."


Three substitute appearances and no goals later he's gone. No great loss so what the fuck was he doing there in the first place??


Sadly I fear our chairpeople lack the courage to act decisively and sack him, they'd rather cringe behind their wallets and hope for the best.

Agreed, add Eto'o and Ramires to the list of dirty bastards who seem to get away with it week in week out. The odious BFS must go surely.

Has he gone yet? Most fans lost faith a few weeks back, I think he's lost the players too.....only the board to convince

And after today he can take Nolan with him - he's been getting worse by the week as a player and a Captain and today was the last straw, banned for 3 weeks now the petulant git.

I've been to three matches over the festive season, and seen a few more over the last few weeks on telly. Some real crackers but the two stinkers were the Arse/Chel (on telly) and today Arse/Cardiff, as well as getting wet as the roof is rubbish.


Is the quality of the Arse overated? or was that just an anomoly, perhaps in part due to the weather which was awful on both days


A second Arse question is as there are always thousands of empty (paid for tickets), a waiting list for season tickets, and they can in theory attract more than the ?60k capacity, why don't those not attending because they can't be arsed to leave their mansion in Herts to see a less attractive match on a rainy day, pass on their ticket to someone who does want to make the effort. I am not talking full price on Seatwave I hasten to add -better is used than wasted.


Oh and a fun anacdote now I will no longer be suprised by the ManU score as I was trying to watch it 'live' on MOTD, at WHL the only cheer on Boxing Day from the Spuds was when it was announced that WHU had gone one-nil up. Funnily enough they didn't announce 1-1, 1-2, 1-3. All credit to the Bluebird fans today for the noise they made BTW.

    • A Google search brought up eleven Chango  branches, although they don't all seem to be listed on their website. In the order they came up: East Dulwich, Clapham Common, Mayfair, Wandsworth, City of London, Wimbledon,  Parsons Green, Kensington, Highgate, Richmond, Hampstead. I think it is the positioning of this new branch that has mostly got to me. I accept that they would have to go for where a space became vacant, but Lordship Lane is pretty long, even just the part with shops in,  and choosing to  open a stone's throw away from Chacarero seems mean, to say the least. I wonder if they have made contact with Chacarero. It would be nice to think they had (in a friendly way, obviously!)
    • 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.
