Don't go SP, just have footy chat with everyone else, and don't read Matt's posts when you see his name at the top of them.


As for Atila, you know (and I guess he'd admit) he gets very wound up, very easily, so why not just ignore him too, otherwise you say something back, he gets wound up, and then a row starts.


It's all playground nonsense anyway. Man U are top of the pile at the moment, can't you just be pleased about that, and take insults as envy?


Liverpool won't get relegated I'm afraid, and think of your poor father-in-law!

What the hell has happened to the old football fixtures of Christmas? Gone are the days of playing 4 times over the festive period - now we have been left with just 2 games on 26th & 28th December. The PL games either side of this are 19th Dec and 9th Jan. Not forgetting that the Easter programme has long been discarded. The traditions of football have been sacrificed for midweek winter fixtures in mid December and early February, its just wrong, plain old wrong!

I was once told that if you drank lots of alcohol you wouldn't suffer from PMT, works for me. :)-D

In effect only one game has been scrapped over Christmas as we have the FAC on 2 January. Even with 2 games in 3 days there'll be clubs who moan about playing games so close together...As for midweek games, two before Christmas and two after doesn't seem so bad. The ones after Christmas are in London which is a bonus.

Keef, as far as I'm concerned it's all banter, and yes I'm as guilty as anyone else of winding peoiple up , and not just SP. I'm afraid Man Ure bring out the worst in me and I can't help myself, I know I should try to get over my hatred of them but I can't, and I genuinely do despise them more than Spurs and only marginally less than Chavski. I've had to put up with some shit in the past on this forum, but what you gonna do eh? Oh well, c'est la vie.

I agree with Atila it's just gentle banter - if people are taking it as a personal assault on their own character then maybe we should tone it down a little and focus on boring stuff (like I guess they do on the cricket thread) such as what is ideal air pressure in a football... zzzzzzzzzz


It's a shame that not everyone could turn up for the End of Season Football Focus drinks as that may have thawed some of the unnecessary ice.

Looks like a photo shoot of the new Spanish training gear


Apparently Nando has a new nickname... Bruno

I noticed, in another attempt to ostracise me, you held the end of season drinks while I was on holiday! ;)


I also don't think that calling a player a 'snarling, egotistical bastard' then going on to suggest that the reason he was like that was because he played for my club is 'gentle banter'. I'd hate to read what you'd say if you weren't being gentle.

Well it was the last game of the season.. otherwise we'd have waited.. besides Mick Mac turned up to represent Manchester United, although after a few drinks I think he was ready to sing YNWA!


I suppose we could make it another end of season drinks for the Lions game in EDT on Saturday afternoon as it appears there aren't many rugby fans in East Dulwich - see http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?20,292707 to post interest

    • 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. 
    • Very economical. Are you available for events? I've got a gathering of 5000 coming up soon. What could you knock up with two little fishes and five loaves of bread? Cod in breadcrumbs? Fish finger sandwiches? Spanish-style croquetas de bacalao with a Romesco sauce? It's BYOB for beer, so there's no need to worry about that and I've managed to do an unbelievable deal on water and wine. Drop me a DM on here or ask for Dave or Jesus (pronounced 'Hay-Zooze') in The Herne, left hand side of the bar.
