No, no, no Ruffers! You've got it all wrong we just LAUGH at City.


Anna, Merde not demeaning but 'bin dippers' is? Seems like double standards to me...


Oh and before you all jump on Ronaldo for diving (not an uncommon occurence and I'm not defending it also see Torres, Drogba et al) I was following the games on the BBC text service and they were saying that noone from United appealed for a penalty, not even Ronaldo.

Sandperson, I remember being at a derby match at Anfield some years back, and there were 2 Everton fans in the kop sticking out like a sore thumb. Everton won 1-0, and they stood and cheered the goal, and I remember being really suprised how friendly the banter was. You wouldn't get that at a Glasgow derby! ;-)

The Merseyside derby is one that's often talked about. Some people say it's dead friendly and others will tell you it's the most hostile derby played.


The thing is, up there is half the family can be blue and the other half red, which is why I guess you'll see a red shirt amongst a sea of blue and not witness too many problems. That said - I wouldn't do it.

Not as much as we laugh at ourselves I suspect. While I was reassured by the loss at Brighton that we weren't going to become some kind of clinical professional organisation with our new found wealth I smiled less at the Wigan score.


For anyone who did see the game, or will see it on MOTD2, this quote from bbc text commentary re the penalty is brilliant


1646: "And people said building the JJB on an ancient trampoline burial ground wouldn't have any consequences."

Very happy with that result. 6 from 6 and Robbie off the mark.


WTF is that goal celebration all about? He reallys needs to bin that one off.


"Robbie Keane, Robbie Keane, Robbie Keane, Robbie Keane. His name's not f***** Keano!! Robbie Keane".

    • Moving into a new place and need both a wardrobe and a chest of drawers, ideally collection Friday. Thanks!
    • Lordship Lane has two dry cleaners, three pizza places and an Italian selling pizza, two burger places, three bakeries, two hardware (ish, I'm thinking AJ Farmer here), God knows how many coffee and charity shops, two Italians, three nail salons, five wine shops... Where was the abject outrage when Dynamic Vines opened up literally next door to Cave de Bruno? But I don't see his customers decamped next door - no, those stalwarts are still out in force every night.  In Roman times all businesses were clustered by product. It's what kept prices down. Same in any market you go to abroad, they're all selling the same things next to each other.  Why is everyone being so hard on this new place? It's called healthy competition - you can't curtail the expansion of your business on the basis you that might hurt someone else's. 
    • I have a new fixation so any available, please let me know.  Thanks.
    • In restaurant terms I would say a chain manifests when the motivation is no longer “we are a couple/small group who have an idea and love food” who open a restaurant, them another and then a few more BUT THEN PIVOT to “we need capital to rollout out new restaurants so we have leveraged the help of the following investors”  that is the moment it stops being about the chef/food on the plate and becomes about the spreadsheet  so it is POSSIBLE  for a restaurant to have 50 branches and not be a chain - but I can’t think of any  I don’t know chango - by based on the number of outlets they appear to have just crossed/or are about to cross that line
