Robbie Keane dropped from Liverpool squad for tomorrow's Chelsea game - and based on Benitez's continual stream of quotes in the press it looks even more like he wants him out of the club before Monday's transfer deadline at 5 o'clock.


The main problem for Keane at Liverpool has been trying to compete for possession of the ball with Steven Gerrard in areas that they both shine - and there was only ever going to be one winner. I don't think it's a coincidence that Keane's best games for Liverpool have been United at home, and PSV away when Gerrard did not start either game.

Well, that was a disappointment. The Lampard sending of was a disgrace but having said that Liverpool were the only team that looked like winning today. Chelsea look very lacklustre at the moment and it's hard to see why but I can't see Scolari lasting through the summer.

Very satisfying result but that was a 0-0 performance from Liverpool, absolutely diabolical against a very poor Chelsea.


I was never impressed with Scolari once you cut through the hype - a monkey could have won the World Cup in 2002 for Brazil when you have Ronaldo, Ronaldinho and Rivaldo, and his Portugese record is only pumped up because they shat on an overrated England twice - so Sandperson for once you are right Scolari will not survive through the summer.

Might have been a failure at Anfield but he was still the Reds 2nd best striker by a country mile - when you consider the alternative of Dirk Kuyt or Ngog it is flabbergasting that they've let him go without a replacement when Liverpool are struggling to score goals to win matches so they can win title. Not sure how many times Keane played an entire match for Liverpool but you could count them on one hand.
I just don't get it - Benitez doesn't ever play a style that suits Keane's game so why did he (or maybe it's they?) buy him? Keane's one of my favourite players in the Premiership has done it every where apart from the team he always wanted to play for! He'll get loads next year in the Championship

EVERTON v LIVERPOOL - I have a spare ticket, but do you have a car?


Wondering if any Liverpool fan wants to drive up to Everton on Wednesday for the FA Cup replay, me and a friend have a spare ticket for the game (Liverpool section) for someone who has their own car and willing to drive up and back.

Good business for Spurs...financially yes but Robbie Keane and Jermaine Defoe never really hit it off on the pitch as a partnership but as Defoe is out for a few months it's a very good signing as he's a top player and hopefully he can hit it off with Roman Pavluychenko starting at White Hart Lane on Sunday against The Arse. Oh! and I'm going to the game.

We've got him, but I'm not convinced he's what we need right this minute. We need 2 central defenders a defensive midfielder and a striker, as Adebayor should be arrested for impersonating a professional footballer!!

    • 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!) As regards the apparent  marketing spiel, at least one of the online reviewers also refers to a Chango branch (the Parsons Green one in this case) as a "gem". Probably just coincidence and a word in common use to describe such places. I wouldn't know. I'm ancient 🤣
    • 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.
