Love this quote from Torres:


?The white shirt of Madrid is very famous and for a lot of players their goal is to one day play for Madrid. The white shirt is a huge privilege for players, but for me the biggest privilege in Europe is the red shirt of Liverpool."

This is the sort of qoute that brings a smile to my face, how many high profile players have made similar statements over the years only to move on shortly afterwards. Loyalty from players? Lets be honest/realistic, it doesn't exist.

I would be up for that - what date is it?

Bloody hell, Harry Redknapp is not going to be happy when he sees how Tom Huddlestone is keeping himself trim (on left of photo) - whilst on holiday with Aaron Lennon (on right). How on earth can a professional footballer develop a gut that big only 4 weeks since the season finished!


 

Huddlestone has always carried quite a bit of timber but it also might have something to do with his diet, spot the bag of McDonalds he's got in his right hand. And I think you'll find that's Dulwich Hamlet pink Quidsey, whilst Lennon is either playing paper, scissors stone or predicting the result in the next match against West Ham.

No more Carlos at OT. It's a shame but time to ring the changes with the (now) ?100M or so to spend. I'm sure the Scousers will make more of it than it deserves but he is easily replaceable and a bit more youth would be a great way to go.


We also need another Argie otherwise we'll have no reason to chant "Argentina"! :))

What about Heinze or Veron, they'd feel right at home at Traford Industrial Park.

Ah so Tevez is on his way out of Old Trafford ... a headless bull whose Country was sang lounder than that of George Best and Bobby Charlton, which tells you everything you need to know Atila


I think Man U have more to worry about than replacing Tevez such as getting a decent midfield

Ah, the same old nonsensical gibberish. I find myself, not for the first time, wondering what you are on about Matt. You have moments of such interesting lucidity and then you slip into the mire of jibes and childish name calling. I blame the Stella.

Awwwwww SP, I didn't know you cared. As for being a Spurs fan it could be worse, I could wake up one morning thinking I've woken after a bad dream only to find that I come from Coventry but support Man Ure.

Haha, no his prized asset is Liverpool F.C. - a cash cow if run properly, and a big part of that is having a winning team which means player signatures..


Sandperson it seems to me that more often than not someone has a jibe about United and then you respond with a personal insult - this latest one about a Turkish Cypriot being from a Greek island seems designed to provoke another war of words. If someone has a go about Liverpool then I try and defend it, maybe if I have a weak argument (which is not often) then I will turn the tables on other person's club (i.e. banter). Come on Sandperson you are better than that keep it clean!

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
