Considering theres a kfc in ever UK town!! I can understand it if he misses plantain, green banana, jerk chicken-you gotta look for those in the Caribbean communities.

As it was noted already, good questions, but perhaps guarded, politically correct answers.

Jerk chicken,,,, bro in T&T we dont eat that shit. Thats them Jamaicans who jerk on they chicken and then eat it and call that they national chicken. Leave that in Kingston.

Furthermore, the KFC in T&T taste is the ultimate especially if you eat it with the pepper sause they give you.... we actually season the chicken in T&T and then cook it unlike many foreign countries. So you get that nice fresh spicy taste.

Plantain, green banana, we not in Dominican Republic. In T&T we eat ripe plantin and sweet potato on de side (sometimes) with real food and boil and fry green or half ripe bananas with saltfish or stew red fish (snapper), not an everyday meal though. If you dont have bananas, you could always get a breadfruit and boild it with sea water.. and then fry it with some coconut milk and butter with loud onion and garlic with some congo pepper off course.

I believe you have to know a little more about T&T before you make those comments. This is not a Tom and Jerry cartoon or some documentary you watch TV and then make a comment like you know T&T... one visit is not enough.

Dont take no offense, but I love my country, you have to come correct... days for riding donkeys and eating bananers are far behind us and I really wish I could live in those days now as they were the best. But the more mordernise we get the worst it affect our country. Changes coming to fast....

Not looking good fellahs. Liverpool beat Wrexham 3-2 in a friendly yesterday. Each side had 11 substitutes and Josh was not among them. Manager Brian Carey just doesn't seem to like him. Unless there is an injury problem I don't know about)

Josh picked for the friendly tonight  :beermug:

Reds must learn from mistakes

Wrexham were unable to settle in a first half dominated by Burnley who set a high tempo with their slick passing moves.

Burnley led 2-0 at the break and although Wrexham fought back to level thanks to a Michael Proctor double, Steve Cotterill's side sealed victory with another three goals.

Unhappy with the defending for some of the goals, Carey also stressed the importance of getting off to a better start in matches.

"We learned some good lessons and found out an awful lot," said Carey today. "I said afterwards that the manner we start games is important. You need to set a tone for a game and we just didn't do it.
"But we had to do too much work when we did not have the ball, and we didn't do enough work when we did have it.

"Burnley are a Championship side and if you allow good players room and let them do what they want, they can cause you problems.

"We have not done any work organisation-wise as of yet. It has mainly been about fitness. We are coming to a stage where that will kick in and we are hoping to get into some rhythm over the next few weeks."

But Carey, having seen six players complete 90 minutes for the first time in pre-season, said there were positives to take out of the performance.

"We responded and gave it a go for 30 minutes in the second half. We showed in that period what we can do, more than in the rest of the game," said Carey.

"Michael scored twice and Eifion Williams got two last week, and that is a good sign for us. We have lacked goals here and both have now got two already. They are the positives I got out of it, and some decent performances from a few.

"Fitness wise it was a great work-out again. A few players had 90 minutes and others 60 or 70 minutes, so it was a bit more football for them again."

Goalscorer Proctor paid tribute to the quality of Burnley's performance.

"It was nice to get a couple of goals and it was a decent work-out for the lads, but performance wise I didn't think it was great," said Proctor. "But performances don't really matter pre-season, it is all about fitness.

"I thought Burnley were a different class and first half especially we were chasing shadows a bit."

Another strong Wrexham side will take on Newtown at Latham Park in another friendly tonight.

Anthony Williams and Gareth Evans, unused substitutes last night, are set to be handed starting places along with Mike Williams, Mark Jones, Chris Llewellyn, Marc Williams and Matty Done, who all featured at some stage in the second half against Burnley.

Chris Marriott, Steve Evans, Danny Williams and Josh Johnson complete the side pencilled in to start, while Chris Maxwell, Lee Jones, Jamie Reed and Wes Baynes will also travel.


"Newtown is another run-out for those who did not play last night. And the lads who had 20 minutes or half-an-hour against Burnley will probably all start" added Carey. "The two games are being treated the same. We fielded a strong side against Burnley and will against Newtown."

One player who won't feature is striker Chris Simms, who has been on trial with Wrexham.

Simms has accepted an offer from Conference outfit Hyde United to join them for the coming season.

Carey now has to decide whether to offer another trialist, Kaid Mohamed, a deal.

Mohamed, who impressed at Carmarthen Town last season, played an hour against Burnley and Carey added: "Kai has looked sharp and he is one we will be making a decision on in the next few days."

Wrexham push eight-goal thrillerJul 19 2007
by Our Correspondent, Western Mail
 
Newtown 3-5 Wrexham

WREXHAM had the best of an eight-goal thriller in which they were almost caught by Newtown in an action-packed second half at Latham Park last night.

After impressing in the first half, the Dragons finally took the lead four minutes before the break after Matty Done’s pace opened up the Newtown defence.

After thundering into the Robins’ half, Done laid the ball off to Mike Williams, who centred for younger brother Marc to crash a low shot past keeper Dave Jones.

Williams got his second two minutes later after left winger Done found Josh Johnson in the danger area, the Trinidadian pulling back for Williams to side-foot home.

Newtown started brighter in the second half but found themselves 3-0 down when Johnson crossed for big defender Steve Evans to head home.


But the hosts pulled one back when a cross from substitute Rob Dean found the Wrexham defence flat-footed, Craig Moses stealing in at the far post for a tap-in.

An impressive move from Swedish trialist Robin Kacaniklic, who had replaced Done, restored Wrexham’s cushion on 71 minutes. The winger controlled a 25-yard ball on the chest before slotting between substitute keeper Danny Jones and the far post.

Five minutes later Moses was again involved as Newtown pulled another back, playing in Mark Lloyd Williams who fired home from just inside the area.

Lloyd Williams brought his side within one goal on 80 minutes when the Dragons defence allowed him a tap-in.

But a minute later free-kick specialist Mark Jones made sure with a set-piece from nearly 30 yards.

Sam, sorry this response is so late!!

My references to the food was a bit naive and I apologise. I made the fatal (and unforgivable) mistake of assuming all Caribbean countries enjoy the same food. I should know better, after all, I'd never eat Haggis! Come to think of it, I wouldn't eat tripe and onions or black pudding, either!

My assumption was based on the fact that my wife is St Lucian, and so most of the parties we attend have that kind of food. I apologise profusely.
