Chelsea look formidable. In many ways it's good to see Man City, Arsenal and Spurs all get off to good start as it makes the Title a lot more exciting than for just the Big 3. Out of the 3 mentioned I think Man City will sustain their challenge right through to the end - they simply have too many good players with experience not to make an impression.


I don't think Arsenal are physically strong enough to come through the long winter unscathed both in terms of their traditional graveyards in the North and the fact smaller, frailer players (which Arsenal seem to have packed in their squad) tend to pick up continual injuries. In the meantime, I expect Arsenal to visit Old Trafford on Saturday and rattle a good healthy win and keep their momentum going for another few months.

Lively encounter. I think 1-1 would have been a fair reflecion even though Spurs did it edge it in both play and goals ultimately. I don't know whether that means we should be thinking about being more ambitious or whether Spurs should be concerned that they're nowhere nearthe finished article.


What was Cole thinking though!?

Matt - don't let Atila hear you talking about a Big3.

Good to see that in my absence you've been consistent, as in consistently talking out of your backside.

There is certainly only a big1, and that would be the poster of the above qoute.

I'd discount them at your peril Sandperson especially if they turn you over at the weekend. They may not be the finished article yet and with Fabregas out injured things could get a little wobbly for them but I'd never write them off and they've been very impressive so far.

      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.
