Got back last night from a weekend in Mcr and 'that game'. General consensus from Utd fans was that the scousers have probably done us a favour in the long run, we were starting to look complacement, especially against Inter.

It's funny being away and coming back to see all the comments, especially the anti-Utd ones. Ratty's right, it goes with the territory, and long may it continue. What amazes me though is so called fans who trash Utd first before praising their own team. I'm not going to waste my time responding to the Munich poster, other than to say big respect to the posters who trashed him..(tu) It is indeed a beautiful Spring day, top of the league by 4 points with a game in hand, and Fulham lined up next...

Form says beat Real Madrid then... put United back in their box. Villa have buckled under the pressure, as I predicted last month, on Sunday they also need a result so could be a very entertaining match at Anfield.


As for 'wake up call' to United ... I think more like wake up call to the opposition who they will play. Liverpool didn't reach the same levels as against Real Madrid but they were still strong enough to neutralise United's midfield and thus cut off the supply line upfront.


I wonder if Wenger feels like a dumb arse for saying United were untouchable!?

Great w/e of sporting action, Liverpool were a joy to watch Arsenal back on form. England smashing France was tops as I work with 2 french guys. Now West Ham have paid off Sheff Utd ?15-?25 mio if we win tonight thats 42 points and safe.Happy me Irons.

It is strange how there appear to be two different versions as to how much WHU are paying Sheffield United. Most papers say ?15 million, paid over five years. However both the Times & Observer say ?10 million now, and ?15 million over five years. The settlement details are supposed to be confidential, so it looks like two separate leaks. Goodness knows which, if any, is accurate.


Edited to add that Yorkshire Post changed the figure to ?25 million from ?15 million too at 11.30am...hmmm

I watched a bit of the game last night and felt bad that quids gave up an evening to go and see it



then I read about Warnock and couldn't believe it. Then I thought, no I CAN believe it


So then I watched Stewart Lee's new show on BB2 and all was ok again.

Disgusted with myself for losing, albeit "small" on that West Ham/WBA game last night as I was certain it would be very low-scoring.

West Ham's makeshift front 3 can't possibly cut it and I was so angry with going with WBA as they were handed the match ona plate and were so lacking in confidence and frankly, useless that they could not take advantage of a side who could have played all night and not scored.


What a contrast to the wondrous West Ham/WBA game I went to with Hursty/Peters/Mooreo and Astle/Bomber Brown for The Albion...6/1 and it could have been 11/3....modern football, eh?

According to various reports, Fergie refused to speak with Sky before and after the game on Saturday as he believes they are responsible for the scheduling of the game which meant Pool had one more day to prepare for the game. Is this a little like the time he blamed the colour of the away kit for the mancxs being on the wrong end of a hiding against Southampton some years back.I think he also forgot to mention the fact that there was a Y in the day, which went against them. JEEZ!!!!! And I thought Le Prof griping about Sunderlands performance against us smacked of sour grapes!!!!

      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.
