As will pedestrians, happily crossing the road having looked the right way for traffic only to be hit from behind by a push bike.

Clown activities.

Players and fans have let the club down.

From the minute by minute on the Guardian last night, Fulham vs West Brom, even has a local relevance although I nearly put it in the aspirational supermarket thread. "Fulham corner. Hangeland rises well in the middle and is basically punched in the face by Carson, who misses the ball and instead clumps his huge Norwegian head. This is apparently fine though. Back down the other end West Brom carve out a glorious chance for Brunt between Dorrans and Odemwingie but mysteriously he fails to get a shot in and it's cleared. Dennis Johns is bringing down the system from the inside: "This is the most middle class thing I've ever heard anyone say: I was in Stoke Newington the other day (I wish it had been East Dulwich, but that would have been too perfect) and I heard a young lad of about 5 or 6 say to his mum, "Mummy what are baked beans?" She pondered for a moment and replied, "Well, they're a bit like gnocchi." And he accepted that." I lol'd

So if so now what? Still a poor squad that needs investment, this time with a manager who's got two days to settle in before the transfer window opens. If true that's starting to look like Newcastle style of running a club and I'd like to think Liverpool are better than that.

Arsenal tickets sure ain't cheap, I'm a lucky boy. Hope they don't let me down. Re Uwe he's a legend. Didn't realise until I saw him on Soccer AM his kids are called Colin and Tony after Bell and Book. I remember City being essentially boo-ed off one time at Elm Park but several on the away end, myself included, shouting to Uwe it didn't apply to him as he'd at least made the effort.

Wibble.

Even Balotelli smiled.. Looking forward to Arsenal away, anything away really but especially as I'm going thanks to mrs ruffers Christmas present buying. Blackpool at home should be good if we go for it..

Those Liverpool players should be ashamed of themselves, they appear to have given up or be actively trying to shift the blame to anywhere but their door. And the crowd could have got behind them a bit as well - it sounded like a training match. Truly a club in bother.

The original post seemed to me to say in summary "People on the forum have a go and aren't nice, but I've met some people in real and there are actually nice people round here." As you posted it on the forum it's difficult to read that as anything other than provocation even if that's not what you meant as appears to be from your subsequent posts. Come on here to criticise people on here and what reaction do you expect? Anyhoo - Happy Boxing Day.

Just to check, why would there being southern clubs cause half the Premiership to kick off at lunchtime?

Jeremy - I guess I've just never worked in an environment where the 'traditional' xmas bonus has applied, I've been in mostly sales environments where the more you sold the more commission you got, no bonus for just doing your job as that's what basics are for. The other side of that coin is no overtime though. As you say the issue of performance related bonuses is a separate one to the OP.
