Yep, It's a chipper.

A chippy is a carpenter.
One of my biggest hates since I moved over here. I insist on calling it a chippy, as the locals are just plain wrong. Then again if all you do is throw frozen chips into fat, I guess calling yourself a chippy is contrary to the trade description act. I really miss a proper chippy
 
Frozen chips? Why the fuck would a chippy use frozen chips?

They cost shitloads more, & if memory serves me correctly, Irish folk aren't short of potatoes.
 
The Dutch usually use frozen chips in their snack bars as well. It is much healthier as it means that I do not buy them.

Chippers (or chippys) are nicer here.
 
Mostly Irish and Italians.
There's a few Chinese too but I find their fries to be greasy muck.
Italian chippers make amazing chips.
Seasoned properly too.
 
That struck me as odd too - there is a tradition over here of Italians running chippies. Our local one is Enzos, he has a chain of 5 or 6 in Clare, and they mostly use frozen chips and ,... wait for it, frozen bloody fish!! They dont even batter them in front of you

And can you get a savoury? Can you f'ck

Sorry @Aidan O' Neill , my adopted country is a massive fail when it comes to chippies. Maybe its better on the right hand side of the country

I know exactly what you mean, I lived just outside Dublin for a while and a new Italian run chippy opened up beside me, it was horrific. If you asked for a curry chip they'd mix some powder and water in a jug then microwave it in front of you and put it on some awful frozen chips.

I'm pretty sure most of the fast food places that were busy around me would be closed in Belfast, they all tasted like shit.

Sounds like you're going to the wrong chippers lad

Italian chipers all over Drumcondra, clontarf, Marino, fairview. The perky chick, was one name.

Anyway, all great growing up, fantastic and delicious but the kids took them over and they became dire, almost every one. Is Beshoffs still in Christchurch? That's the oldest one in Dublin right?
 
Okay back to Lazar.

He is the signing I'm most excited about (so far). I have a feeling we'll get a wonder goal from him by Xmas. The beautiful Serbian Kaka.

I hope he is up for the fight and physicality of the league. A front three of Lazar Sturridge and Sterling should scare the bejesus out of defenders. Technically able and lightning across the grass. Fastest front line in the league?
 
He looked a bit lost the other night but did burn 2/3 players off during a burst forwards, he's certainly quick!
 
I'm waiting for our first counter attack when either Lazar or Sterling just absolutely GAS someone to get in on goal and square it to Studge for an easy tap in.


Repeat x 100.
 
He was shit the other night.
Im massively concerned we have buggered up our transfers.

Lallana and Lovren aside im unconvinced we have added sufficient quality to replace the third best player in the world.
If we concede 10 less with Lovren in the side we still need to add 20 more somewhere and thats just to finish second.

We still need a lot more to compete and I mean players who will come in and push straight into the first team.
Sturridge cannot win this league on his own.
