On what occasion did Hughes and Ince physically confront supporters?, I can't recall any, though I seem to remember Liverpool's Jamie Carragher getting sent off, a police warning and ?40k fine from his club for throwing a coin back into the crowd at Arsenal...didn't that 'thug' Ince once play and captain Liverpool, or was that before your time as well?...

Mark Hughes got to grips with a Swindon Town fan who was in the front row of the stand. Eric Cantona did his cowardly kung-fu impression on a guy at Crystal Palace. As for Ince he also charged into the crowd at Selhurst Park.


Yes Jamie Carragher was also a muppet throwing a coin into the crowd at Highbury, just like Drogba recently, it is totally unacceptable.

Eric Cantona's kick was stupid, but not sure I'd use the word cowardly. If never should have risen to it, but as he walked off the guy he kicked was leaning right over the barrier giving him proper verbal! Much as I love football, footballers in general are a simple breed, and a lot of them are complete knobs, who just happen to be very good at a game.

Has anyone been watching the "Time of Our Lives" series on Sky Sports? Each week Jeff Sterling has 3 players belonging to a clubs golden era around the coffee table and they reminisce from back in the day. If you like anecdotes, such as Jack Charlton's black book, Tony Adams making Ray Parlour into a drinker, then set your Sky+ to 10pm every Monday night!


The one tonight was the 1970 Everton Championship winning team, and they were saying Shankly's back garden used to back onto Everton's training ground (which is where I guess the famous line from Shankly came of he'd drawn his curtains if Everton were playing at the bottom of his garden :) They said each Sunday (on Everton's day off), Shankly would take his dog for a walk around the Everton training ground so his dog could have a piss ;-)


Next week they have Nottingham Forest from their European Cup era.

A great night at the Emirates and wonderful to see Eduardo back on form - hope he can replace Adebayor in future! All the way now to the semis with our home ties - fingers crossed!

What can you say about Eduardo? Wonderful performance after nearly a year out following a horrendous injury. You've got to love his positive approach and hunger for the game, as well as giving credit to the backroom staff who helped on his road to recovery. It's almost like signing a new player.

      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.
