Lot more history than that I think.


Swans board doesn't sack usually - not in 10 years -

but issues with the agent, the fact everyone seems to think

ML was leaving in the summer and as the board said, the gradual

erosion of Swansea's principles.


Chico didn't do any play acting against Cardiff - so maybe a

Garry Monk had a quiet word.


Stoke - Swansea next up - not one I would have gone for the Swans

in - but will be interesting if they can get a point.

I just about managed to stay awake for the pool (thank God they were on first) before passing out on the sofa.


Yeah, very pleased to see them win that in that style. That's exactly the sort of match they'd have lost in previous years (or last week even).


I was also pleased to see Gerrard afterwards acknowledge that they'd dropped 2 points and missed an opportunity last week, and that they couldn't afford mistakes what with Spurs breathing down their necks (very good result for them last night too!).

Jose Mourinho would love to see Celtic playing in the Premiership.


The Chelsea boss has won titles in England, Italy, Portugal and Spain but knows that few clubs have the magic of Celtic.


With the second biggest ground in Britain Celtic are ideally placed to add to the 'Premiership brand' a unique combination of history, passion and drama.


Stars such as Lionel Messi, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Clarence Seedorf have gone on record with their admiration of all things Celtic with the Chelsea boss in no doubt that the hoops would bring a new dimension to the Premiership.


"Ive thought a few times over the years about Celtic moving down to England," he told The Sun.


"When I have been in England I have asked my colleagues why Celtic are not playing in the Premier League. They are a big club, with a big support and a famous history.


"They had a strong run last season in the Champions League, but they will always be limited because competition does not seem to be there for them up in Scotland.


"It wouldn't be easy to make it happen, the problem would be an agreement with teams who would not want to drop out of the leagues down here.

I like to think fans are different and everyone is an individual.

Chelsea had a national front element from what I hear and had a combat 18 element which is placing them in an awkward right wing position.


No class with that element for sure but im sure they have decent fans too.

The day Celtic are admitted to the premier league is the day Scottish football dies (cries of 'what Scottish football?') - I don't care about celtic/rangers and their infantile squabbles but the depth of football north of the border which would surely suffer irreparably.


But if they do maybe we could invite a few other footballing third world nations to send in their best too - Iceland's top team maybe and Ireland and - where exactly is San Marino and Liechtenstein?

I am surprised a team for whom a significant majority of their fans claim the English as imperialit oppressors constantly, want to be in our league and I am not sure a team who large sections of their support glorify terrorism would be that welcome in England either. Too much putrid old school stuff in the tedious and romanticised 'old firm' crap, leave it in Glasgow and Ulster as far as I am concerned....



Why don,t Celtic join the Irish league that,s where they belong...

    • 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.
