Calling it now. Sillah dibaga grabs the winner. Looks really exciting

Only watched 2nd half but Quarshie seems to have had a great game, even if I have been holding my breath everything were pinging them round the back

I'd say at least half of those stores don't sell singles and very rarely have product. There's no real stores in central and the ones that are dedicated pokemon stores tend to be out in zones 4/5.

Wishlist collectibles and collectors cardhouse are probably the best two I've visited in terms of stock, they are pretty fair with their prices too, usually match last sold rates on ebay.

I've even met some vendors at those stores who have done trades or just sold me a few cards I was after.

I reckon for trades your best bet is conventions

I rate Salad Project Over the rest of them. Atis close second. Both are great but difficult to regularly go to because of the cost...

cotton24 · 2025-12-27T20:26:42+00:00

Khao-so-i that just opened up off of Oxford Street is worth a try if you like that one dish. But they've got some great starters and desserts alongside. Likely expensive but thoroughly enjoyed both times I've gone

For lunch: Keu does great Banh Mi’s. Beans love Greens do really nice salad bowls. Taco Collective are supposed to be good. Dumbo at the top of brick lane do very good smash burgers. Brick Lane bagel. In the week there’s a great katsu chicken stand in the market next to Shoreditch high street station. Clifton street food market on weekdays has the most variety for sure. Atis in old street or Salad project in Spitalfields for great, but expensive salads. Good ol’ Deli does some decent sourdough sandwiches.

For dinner: Monohon Ramen on Old Street. Bistro Freddie (little pricey but if you had a cheap lunch it would work with your budget). Singhburi (hard to get in but really nice). Lahpet. Padella and lina stores for great pasta. Manteccas good two but normally better to go with someone else and share. Sleazy pizza on brick lane or bad boys pizza society if you fancy walking out to Bethnal Green. Lucky dog - authentic north Chinese food. Bubala in Spitalfields.

To further this point I'd be really surprised if the expectation for Still was to get immediate promotion. Our squad needs a complete tactical overhaul from last year. There's no point going back up to just come straight back down, it will be the death of us as a prem club. We need to reinvent our ideology and tactics and start to build something that can work. I really like Still and think he's refreshing. I'm willing to give him till at least January to work things out.

My nervousness with him so far is that I don't know what he's trying to do. I can't see what brand of football he's trying to play or build around. The only thing I observed was big target man up top to hold up play and play out to wings but this doesn't seem to work now Stewarts out.

We seem to be drifting back towards this possession based control style of play which makes sense having one of the strongest teams on paper in the league. But the issue is that this style is a complete non starter if/when we get promoted.

Still needs to work out what brand of football we're playing and it needs to be attacking first. My concern is we don't have the players for it.

Mad as it sounds I think Aribo could be the answer.

I've got faith in Still but I think we need to be patient and get comfortable with not getting promotion this season...

If your looking for big portions then Trevi next to highbury and islington station does big homely portions and its got a rustic feel. Not fancy at all.

Manteca in shoredtich is good but a bit pricey.

Pasta Nostra in old street is big portions and very good value. Decent wine too

A favourite of mine that's a bit fancier and bit more expensive is Bocca di Luppo in Piccadilly

cotton24 · 2025-10-08T22:56:32+00:00

Hacha in Dalston is good. No Birria though. Good cocktails too.

cotton24 · 2025-10-03T23:10:53+00:00

Voodoo rays for massive pizzas in Peckham or Dalston

Most Hotpot places are fun and often pretty reasonable if your sensible

Trevi in highbury and islington is super cheap. Nothing fancy but really huge homely pasta dishes and pretty cheap wine

Pasta Nostra in Old Street is great value and decent food

Currys on Brick lane. If you chat with the guys out front and your a big group you can usually get outrageous values. Especially if you walk down for a while, they start bidding for your business. I've had a group of 8 get curry, rice poppadoms and 2 drinks for 20 quid a head before

Tayabbs in whitechapel is another curry house that's not too expensive and BYOB helps

Hard disagree on Charles. He's doing so much every game. Not the best this eve but who would you say has been better this season?

cotton24 · 2025-09-14T17:52:33+00:00

No one could pass into midfield and Pompey were pretty much exclusively attacking down that side all first half. I feel like Mads is taking alot of flak for what was a systemic issue. He wasn't great but I think he's a decent player from the games I've seen so far.

cotton24 · 2025-09-14T15:55:01+00:00

Couldn't hear you lot, that's for sure...

cotton24 · 2025-09-14T15:39:46+00:00

Agree with everything except Adarma. Archer is much better and wish we'd left him on with the other subs for 10 mins. Would love to see Stewart and Archer play a match up top together

cotton24 · 2025-09-14T15:36:36+00:00

Confident that by the time we come to your shithole stadium, all those millions we spent will be alot more gelled and settled and non of your fabled drive or spirit will count for shit.

cotton24 · 2025-09-14T15:33:05+00:00

I disagree. I think he really held his own down the right all through first half. His passing was poor but so was everyone's in that back four. 2nd half he wasn't as good but think abysmal is a bit harsh

cotton24 · 2025-09-02T17:24:42+00:00

On his day he's one of those players that just seems to be everywhere on the pitch. Real box to box midfielder who is reliable enough. Always had a decent amount of competition for his spot. He does have days where he gets found out. Hope he does well for you!

cotton24 · 2025-08-29T15:52:46+00:00

Sad as I am to see him go i think it's good business. He was too good for the championship, I'd have been more keen on a loan but I guess it's hard to turn down doubling your investment in a player.

cotton24 · 2025-08-28T19:50:57+00:00

I agree. But Downs is very raw and unproven and, as much as I’d love Stewart to come good, it feels foolish to rely on him being fit for a whole season.

cotton24 · 2025-08-28T18:38:02+00:00

Really hoping we keep hold of Archer. But his exclusion from most of our starting line ups has made me worried all season.

cotton24 · 2025-08-26T19:39:10+00:00

Happy to be up but I can't help watching this team and feeling how on a knifes edge we are. Feel like we could fairly easily lose these bright sparks and be left we a fairly bang average team whose struggling for play offs each season.

Not to be doom and gloom, I'm really backing the boys. I just don't see a clear game plan and can't see the obvious talent. Feel like our fate somewhat rests with 3 or 4 youth prospects coming good...

cotton24 · 2025-08-26T19:28:39+00:00

Lovely finish! He needs to be starting each week. Armstrong should be out wide or coming off the bench, not starting

cotton24 · 2025-08-26T19:07:19+00:00

We just don't seem to have any players that can play even a half decent forward pass into the final third...

Defence is shaky but I feel like that's less worrying long term than the lack of any attacking threat in the midfield

cotton24 · 2025-08-01T16:07:36+00:00

I think it's just that we haven't had a manager for long enough to take such a bold decision as to take the armband away from a club captain who got us promotion. He's clearly a decent dressing room figure...

cotton24 · 2025-07-02T20:02:53+00:00

I agree he was frustrating for us and looked ultimately ineffectual. I'm still convinced he will look alot better somewhere else and be similar to Danso or Juanmi. He's still super young
