Legia appeal rejected. Sad for them I know but good for Celtic.



Legia co-owner Boguslaw Lesnorski confirmed that the club will now take their case to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, tweeting: "Negative decision, it's hard even to comment, we are using the CAS (plan to tomorrow)".


Club chairman Dariusz Mioduski tweeted: "Unfortunately for now football is not winning? We are going to CAS." He later confirmed that the club will be looking to follow a fast-track process to get a decision before Celtic play Maribor on August 19.

Pre-Season Prediction time, I'll be the first to stick my head above the parapet.

It should be an even tighter PL than last season, but on current squads* I'll go for Chelsea to pip City, with Arsenal and Utd not far behind battling for 3rd and 4th. Liverpool to slip down to 5th, with Everton and Spurs contesting for 6th.

Stoke to be the surprise team, getting a comfortable top 10 finish.

Burnley, Leicester and WBA to be relegated.


*Predictions can be updated after transfer deadline day...

If Arsenal buy decent defenders:


1. Chelsea

2. City

3. Man Utd

4. Arsenal

5. Liverpool

6. Tottenham


If Arsenal don't buy decent defenders


1. Chelsea

2. City

3. United

4. Liverpool

5. Arsenal

6. Tottenham

I'll go with Chelsea *spits* to pip City. (but hope I'm wrong)


Arsenal, Liverpool, United, I really don't know. Liverpool are likely to look a very different team to last season, but I am hoping not having Suarez can work in a positive way, making them work better as an overall unit, hopefully defence will be a lot better...


I'm glad Rooney has been given the United captaincy as I found last year that I didn't loathe them so much without SAF, and I even felt a bit sorry for them at times, looking like kids who'd lost their daddy in a crowded shopping centre. But with Rooney wearing the armband I'm sure I'll be able to hate them plenty once more.


Paul Scholes is doing his best to lose any friends he still has at United, and has tipped them to fail.

The more the merrier

Pullis - I've a mate whose a diehard Palace fan and writes/edits one of their fanzines. he's done a piece which basically says that Pullis is acting entirely out of self interest as he's limited resources at Palace, doesn't want to struggle and will walk into and 'keep us up' job on far better terms pretty early this season. He's every sympathy with the Board and not much with Pullis. I buy it. The media/forum frenzy is all crazy owners etc etc

So for nearly ten years arsenal are paupers and scrape into champions league


And now they have gone and bought proper players and spent proper money, many are saying they won't finish top 4


Make you wonder why we spent the money


One of city or Chelsea will flail this season is my prediction


As for pulis. He doesn't come cheap. And no love lost with arsenal fans. And it may be all about him. Palace have someone better lined up?

    • 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.
