I don't know why Liverpool didn't push on for a 2nd goal at 1-0 - they had all the momentum, Everton were running around chasing shadows then with 20 minutes to go the Reds decided to button down the hatches and throw away the initiative.


Late goals always are lucky goals but bringing on Lucus rather than Mascherano seemed to be more about building Lucus's confidence and sticking 2 fingers up at his critics than actually trying to close the game down. It all left Rafa with egg on his face at 1-1 with Robbie Keane and Torres already substituted - and before anyone says don't blame the manager, well the manager always take the credit after a good win so it works both ways.


I've always said if you are happy to settle for 1-0 then you can't blame anyone when you get hit with a sucker punch.


I wouldn't say Liverpool are running on an empty tank but they are certainly not in the right gear.

Pretty fair summary Matthew. We are still well in it, but we are stalling, and need to pick up quick and hope Man U drop some points somewhere... I would genuinely be proud of second if we make it a fight to the finish (obviously I'd prefer first), I just hope we don't fade like a Primark T-Shirt!


On a more ammusing note, Man City's executive chairman suggesting that Milan "bottled it" over the Kaka transfer... Not of course that the player looked at it and thought, "actually I earn quite a bit where I am, and I'd like to win some medals".


And a day later, has Robinho done a runner? Lets hope so >:D<

It's time to laugh at City again!


How can you be the richest club in the world and not only fail to lure a player for half a million pounds a week but also lose your club and country record signing in the space of 24 hours?


Oh, hang on, it's because it's City. :))


However, I am sure Craig Bellamy is going to set Eastlands on fire....

Some cracking FA Cup matches this weekend, it looks a real good 4th round draw. The game that stands out for me is Cardiff City v Arsenal - I think that could be a Cup classic. I think Wenger will be making a big mistake if he puts out a youthful team. As for any shocks, well I think that might be down at Fratton Park where I think Swansea can beat the Cup holders Portsmouth in their own backyard.

      The Mansion Tax

      By Dogkennelhillbilly · Posted

      This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!

      I checked - the Hanway Street place was Mandeer - it moved to New Oxford Street I think and was replaced by Hakkasan - very different prices.

      How late is your Christmas Card

      By Cancerian · Posted

      Suppose it depends on how many Christmas cards from family and friends you’re waiting to receive. It’s been the Christmas period so surely give the post delivery service some leeway. Like Sue I’ve not posted off so many this year but some I still write letters to  e.g my late mum’s cousins and other family  but hey ho that’s something I do and enjoy.  I used to hand deliver Christmas cards to a lot of neighbours on my street but gave up this year as realised that most of them I don’t see or speak to and can only count on a few to call a true friend or neighbour.
