With the greatest of respect red dave, that's absolute bollocks. The player made a complete and utter prat out of himself - should he not get pulled on it because doing so might damage morale? F*** him - he's paid a lot of OUR money to play football for OUR club - he should have the common sense not to post such inflammatory shite on a social networling site that exists solely to PUBLICISE what you're doing. Bloke has the intelligence of a cornish pastie.

Well put
I like McCormack as a player (although that player was last seen in August playing to the strengths we signed him for) but he has proved he has the brains of a slipper, and I think contempt for us

No idea what that means. But if Peacock and Matthews are actually teaching them someting on the trainging ground, I'd say that's already an improvement on the ancien regime...
Thank feck its not a cockerels egg. And as for the Gnochi, talk about destroy a simple and tasty meal, maple syrup!!!! And only one veggie option per course.
[cite]Posted By: Cordoban Addick[/cite]Back to the menu. I just hate the bollox they come up with.
e.g.
Truffle potato Blinis, poachedhensegg, watercress and orange salad (V) £19.50

Ordinarily I'd agree with you - the ponciness on restaurant menus (especially one as up its own arse as the Oxo Tower) is laughable. However, in a place where you're just as likely to be served a quail, duck or goose egg, I think declaring it originated in a chicken probably falls just on the side of non-ponciness. The Gnocchi was actually quite nice as well!
Hand dived scallops, oxtail spring roll, cauliflower and pea vinaigrette £19.00 - as opposed to using your foot
Ballotine of foie gras, pear marmalade, warm croissant £14.50 - what is a ballotine?
Hot foie gras, potato waffle, lavender figs, spiced red wine £17.00
Potato waffle with foie gras, they are having a laugh aren't they? And Leroy as a good Catalan, Lavender Figs!!!!? Should be natural or marinated in miel.

Don't get me started on miel. I demolished three bottles of ron miel over Christmas and now have none left. Need to make a trip to the canaries soon
Seriously - if anyone is thinking of going there - don't bother. It really is nothing special - and is hideously overpriced. If you want to go to an expensive restaurant, go to the Ivy. Now THAT is good food.
I demolished three bottles of ron miel over Christmas - I hope you were sick after that. You have got to love Spain, they can make an alcoholic drink out of anything.

I love it Makes a trip to Fuerteventura worthwhile!. Been utterly annihilated on it before now - the hangover from it is something else though - surpassed only by the one I got from drinking an entire bottle of Limoncello for a dare - then topping it off with a quarter of a bottle of Absinthe.
The big drink around our way (apart from Fino, of course) is Anis. Which the Andalucians claim was invented by them but stolen by the French. The Anis is made in a town called Ruté, which is also home to the worlds largest chocolate Belén.
Bloody hell - what did I start when I posted the menu here???
Still, I guess discussing foie gras and lavendar figs is a welcome distraction from football. Just as Alan McOxo said in his tweet after he'd done his bit to help Parkinson lose his job on Monday night!
Lemoncello - love the label on that stuff. No bullshit about ancient recipes, spring water, secret formulas etc - it just says the ingredients are lemons, sugar, water and alcohol. Thats it. It should add "lots of it" after the last one.
Talking of things Italian, Christian Vieri had a restaurant in Milan when he played for Inter, and after one of his frequent moans about what a miserable life he had being a footballer, the ultras firebombed it and told him to clear off. THATS an overreaction.
More to the point, what an appallingly bad player McCormack is.
Thought he was a dubious signing at the time and have been proved right since - we've hardly seen him and when we have he's been useless - nowhere near good enough, even for this division
As ineffective as Spring - who at least had a bit of quality on the ball.
Reminds me very much of Brendan O'Connell in style, lack of ability and impact on the game.
Hope we don't see McCormack in a red shirt again this season.

I think it's a pretty crappy restaurant with a nice view, but this makes perfect sense.
Hand dived as opposed to mass fished. Taste better and some people won't eat the trawled ones because of the damage the process causes. Ballotine = meat stuffed and rolled up. Confused as to how that works with pate, though.
My only problem with McCormack tweeting what he did was he could said a bit more about how sh~t we were first. He is entitled to go out for a meal after a poor game, especially on his anniversary. The players use twitter to chat and wind each other up, so they mention whta they are up to and in my opinion if you do not like what they say do not follow them
Ok long calmed down about his perhaps not as angry now , daft thing to do but hey ho , yes this thread has gone on a bit too long and has run out of staem somewhat , but perhaps it gives us a chance to come up with ( at last ) a song for 'Macca ' ?
Mccormack whoa , Mccormack Whoa, He's into Twitter you know , He really loves oxo! :)

Very unfair. A cornish Pastie may be stupid but it would prove a bigger obstacle to the oppostion.

What does he have - Rioja?

Potato waffle ....... that's what the Spuds' fans will be ramming down our throats on Sunday evening.
We won't bite - we don't expect to win anyway.
theres gotta be a chant for McOxo somewhere!
