Went to the Den today. Why? It's worse than picking a persistent scab. Give me encouragement chaps: my heart says hang in, one day all will be well, but it's been bloody years now and I want to hold my head up high. any one else support a crap team, not some wonder premier foreign side?

Well it had to happen.

Leeds lose their first game of season , 1-3 ( and Carlisle score in 90th minute).

*sigh*

Can we have our 15 points back please?



Keep the faith clare, it's still early days. I was listening to the commentary & Eddie Gray said that in the first half it was the best he'd seen Leeds play this season. I reckon it will be a kick up the backside & act as a little wake up call.

My mum has a lovely photo of Eddie Grey and my 3 brothers with the F A Cup when Leeds won it in 1972.


He used to go to our church.


What a hero !


(And Terry Yorath used to go the bookies with my dad but I think that was a little less wholesome)


David you are right about keeping the faith of course- Marching on Together....

Oh, plus went to the Hamlets to watch a dreadful encounter with Walton Casuals. Perfect conditions and 9 balls out of the ground (?!?!?!?) reflects what can politely be called a 'tendency to hoof'.

Past Dulwich sides have tried to play football even when they've been comedy and/or rubbish, so this was a pretty depressing display.

1 - 1 btw, and here's onionbag's match review.

After watching Liverpools play live yesterday, I can only say they have got about as much chance of winning the title as I have of becoming Pope. In a nutshell, no chance. The game was as dull as ditch water, with the witless Carragher having a go at Mascherano, who is 100% better player than Carragher. I'm glad Mascherano told him where to go.

I really don't understand how you can say Carragher is a bad player. He may not be the best ever, but he has been an absolute rock for us in the past, and we wouldn't have gotten to the final of the champs league in 2005 without him. How many euro finals have Ferdinand or Terry played in?


I will say if a player is sh!t, even if he wears the Liverpool shirt, but I don't think Carragher is. I will admit that I hated him at the beginning of his career, easpecially when he put the ball in his own net twice in one match against Man U basically giving them the win in an otherwise tight match!


I can't believe how smug gooners can be, I really can't. I know we'd all gloat a bit if our teams won the league, but all the gooners I know are absolutely insufferable! I've never in my life wanted Man U to win anything until last year, I wanted them to beat Chelski because of all the fair weather Chelski fans coming out of the wood work, and I want them to beat Arsenal this year because you're such bad winners, I really can't stand it! (yes it's bugging me that much)


For the record, I agree at least that Liverpool won't win the league this year. I let myself be a bit hopeful at the beginning, but there is still quality missing in some areas, and he wasted a flying start by medding with the team too much and throwing away points against sh!t teams.



Cheers Keef!


For what it's worth, I rate Carragher - I'm just not fond of his tendancy to "cuddle" players and get away with it of late


I'm perplexed at Liverpools for recently but hope they are in the mix anyway. I also was behind Man U's success last year (something I didn't think would ever happen)


But don't let us Arsenal fans put you off a good team

I wasn't being smug about the Arse, simply stating my opinion on what I witnessed on Sunday, namely Blackburn V Liverpool. I have no interest in Manure or CSKA Fulham, and as for whether Terry or that moron Ferdinand have ever represnted their clubs in a CPL final, I couldn't care less. Blacburn v Liverpool was a rubbish game, that's all ( or is someone going to say different). And based on what I saw, I don't think Liverpool can win the League. How is that Boasting or being smug?? Some football fans are very weird!!! I'm proud of my team, as most fans are, is that also being smug and boastful??

I think that the thing is Atila, you are extremely quick to criticise and quote what other people are saying when doing so. I'm aware that this happens when people discuss football, however it tends to happen on talk sport and 606. I think that on the EDF we're all quite polite (mainly because we know one another ;-) ), so when someone comes in the way that you have it puts our backs up.


I post quite frequently on the 606 and LFC forums and say exactly what I think, but still don't go all guns blazing. On here I'm a bit more reserved and don't reply straightaway - even when I disagree or when some thing p1sses me off.


Besides, I can't wait to quote you all when United win the league (arggh! do you realise how difficult that was to type!!) and then I can revive these posts.


P.S Keef I agree re' your comments about smugness. Lets wait 'til May. AND! as for Carragher......

I apologise Atila, I was having a bad morning when I wrote that. I do know more than one gooner who does become insufferable as soon as they've wona couple of games, and they've made it very hard for me to like their team, even if they mean it as a joke. However, I guess I was generalising a bit. It's a shame, because I do love the football they play, and they have some wonderful young players as opposed to oiks like Rooney.


Blackburn Liverpool wasn't a great game, but I didn't think it was a boring game either, well not the second half anyway.


I stick by my support of Carragher, although Sean makes a valid point. Speaking of young players, that lad (who's name escapes me) that Liverpool have loaned to Bolton for the season looked useful.


Aaanyway, I'll change the subject.


Interesting that Spurs new manager chose to start with Bent and Defoe, and Bent scores a lovely selfish goal... Maybe he's going to get a good chance there after all. He will play for a side that's in trouble, something that has been questioned about Berbatov...

I like Jamie Carragher. He's one of those players who would go through walls for his team-mates, much the same as John Terry does at Chelsea. If I can pick out one performance that summed him up and I think it's the best I've ever seen him play, it would be his performance in the European Cup Final of 2005 against AC Milan. The guy was obviously suffering from cramp and was completely knackered towards the end but still continued to hurl himself into the tackles. I thought he was fantastic that night.

No apology to Sean there keef?


As it goes I've a soft spot for Arsenal when firstly they started playing good football and secondly a friend of mine kept taking me to Highbury a few years back and I enjoyed the atmosphere and the fans were a friendly bunch happy to have a hammer in their midst (neutral games though).


Smug and happy to gloat and predict world domination off the back of a couple of good results though? absobloodylutely they were, so will back you up on that keef*. Man U fans annoy me for the same reason, and chelsea fans should know better, but I'm guessing most of the insufferable ones are probably fair weather glory hunters.


Incidentally I have every right to be a Real Madrid fan, but they're even worse than all of the above put together, so I keep an eye out for Atletico's results, which are as reassuringly rubbish as West Ham's ;)


Anna has a point about your tone atila, which I might add has improved dramatically since you first came onto the forum, but you can still be a quick to anger. Mind you, I have (usually hungover) days like that, so I can appreciate it happens.


*not all of them were of course, some know what a little humility is.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
