No one cares about Man U! ;-)


I'm a Liverpool supporter for which I make no appologies, but I'm also happy to talk Charlton, as I've actually seen more of their games live in the last few years than I have Liverpool (since leaving the pool).


And of course, we all support the pink & bloooos! >:D<


So come on ????, who is it? From your name I would have guessed Chelsea, but obviously not.

Just how is Rob Hulse working out for you?? Scored many this season has he? Good investment that! B)


Be seeing you again next season...well, provided you stay up of course.

Rob Hulse was a fine investment and was scoring vital goals until he broke a leg in a dreadful collion in the Chelsea game. Now he is back in the reserves we can but hope he will soon be scoring them again in the first team. I'm more ambivalent about Kilgallon but applaud the lad for wanting to better himself....:))

An Ipswich fan turned up in Sheffield the other week...


With it being his first visit to Bramall Lane the guy wasn't sure on where to go so decided he'd better ask a passer-by for directions...


"Excuse me sir could you please tell me how to get to Bramall Lane?"


"Yeah mate, Just follow the crowds"


Needless to say the poor Ipswich fan ended up outside Tesco's.

We did play them off the park, but I think it is fair to say that they are a bit shit, they're only 3 points off the relegation zone, that makes them someone like Fulham ;-) Manc defence are indeed better, but I still think Torres could make them look slow and silly. We'll see...

I'd put money on it too atila and trust me there is no paranoia. My comment wasn't aimed at anyone directly - if you watch the pundits or comments in the press it's generally the consensus of opinion towards Liverpool.


The Mancs will be a big test, we all know that. However, every game we have won comfortably this season has been because the other team have been poor. We stuffed Bolton the other week and then they beat Utd - can't be that bad a team....

The TV pundits are pretty poor anyway but the media I read (and then leave on the seat, yes I know, thanks Alan Dale) is pretty positive about Liverpool and Rafa as well. Any criticism of Liverpool I read tends to be the same ones I hear from Liverpool fans anyway


"Why did give up with 20 mins to go?"

"Why did he choose that formation for that game?"

etc etc


I cheered you on last night and I'll cheer you on at the weekend!

I was wrong, a quick look at the table shows that Fulham would absolutely love to be 3 points above relegation, as they currently stand above relegation only through goal difference. In fact, Fulham, Boro, Birmingham, Bolton and Spurs are all within 2 points of the relegation zone, so Marseille are actually relative high flyers! >:D<


I do agree with Anna (and this is not a victim complex) that when the Arse or Manure trounce a team, all you hear about is how great they were, and the football they played being so beautiful. Liverpool have scored tons of goals recently and left some sides for dead, and all you hear after is how poor these sides have been, not that Liverpool made them look very ordinary...


We made Newcastle look absolutely sh!te, just days before they battled to a hard fought draw against Arsenal.


Aaaanyway, we're through, that's the important thing... Going to have a tough draw for the second round, but I really hope we get Real!

>It's funny Keef, because I heard that idiot Terry Christian on Talkshite last saturday saying exactly what you have said about Manure, and how nobody praises them when they win and how it's all saved for the Arse. Then again he is so up his own backside I'd expect nothing less than that from him. He kept banging on about the press picking up on Ronaldo's cheating (quite right to), and why do the media think they are a dirty team (Roy Keane admitting he purposely broke some ones leg might have something to do with it), and the thugs Scholes and Neville don't exactly enhance their image . The man is a complete merchant banker.

    • Direct link to joint statement : https://thehaguegroup.org/meetings-bogota-en/?link_id=2&can_id=2d0a0048aad3d4915e3e761ac87ffe47&source=email-pi-briefing-no-26-the-bogota-breakthrough&email_referrer=email_2819587&email_subject=pi-briefing-no-26-the-bogot_-breakthrough&&   No. 26 | The Bogotá Breakthrough “The era of impunity is over.” That was the message from Bogotá, Colombia, where governments from across the Global South and beyond took the most ambitious coordinated action since Israel’s genocidal assault on Gaza began 21 months ago. Convened by The Hague Group and co-chaired by the governments of Colombia and South Africa, the Emergency Conference on Palestine brought together 30 states for two days of intensive deliberation — and emerged with a concrete, coordinated six-point plan to restrain Israel’s war machine and uphold international law. States took up the call from their host, Colombian President and Progressive International Council Member Gustavo Petro, who had urged them to be “protagonists together.” Twelve governments signed onto the measures immediately. The rest now have a deadline: 20 September 2025, on the eve of the United Nations General Assembly. The unprecedented six measures commit states to:     Prevent military and dual use exports to Israel.     Refuse Israeli weapons transfers at their ports.     Prevent vessels carrying weapons to Israel under their national flags.     Review all public contracts to prevent public institutions and funds from supporting Israel’s illegal occupation.     Pursue justice for international crimes.     Support universal jurisdiction to hold perpetrators accountable. “We came to Bogotá to make history — and we did,” said Colombian President Gustavo Petro. “Together, we have begun the work of ending the era of impunity. These measures show that we will no longer allow international law to be treated as optional, or Palestinian life as disposable.” The measures are not symbolic. They are grounded in binding obligations under international law — including the International Court of Justice’s July 2024 advisory opinion declaring Israel’s occupation unlawful, and September 2024’s UN General Assembly Resolution ES-10/24, which gave states a 12-month deadline to act. UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the occupied Palestinian territory Francesca Albanese called them “a momentous step forward.” “The Hague Group was born to advance international law in an era of impunity,” said South Africa’s Foreign Minister, Ronald Lamola. “The measures adopted in Bogotá show that we are serious — and that coordinated state action is possible.” The response from Washington was swift — and revealing. In a threatening statement to journalists, a US State Department spokesperson accused The Hague Group of “seeking to isolate Israel” and warned that the US would “aggressively defend our interests, our military, and our allies, including Israel, from such coordinated legal and diplomatic” actions. But instead of deterring action, the threats have only clarified the stakes. In Bogotá, states did not flinch. They acted — and they invite the world to join them. The deadline for further states to take up the measures is now two months away. And with it, the pressure is mounting for governments across the world — from Brazil to Ireland, Chile to Spain — to match words with action. As Albanese said, “the clock is now ticking for states — from Europe to the Arab world and beyond — to join them.” This is not a moment to observe. It is a moment to act. Share the Joint Statement from Bogotá and popularise the six measures. Write to your elected representative and your government and demand they sign on before 20 September. History was made in Bogotá. Now, it’s up to all of us to ensure it becomes reality, that Palestinian life is not disposable and international law is not optional. The era of impunity is coming to an end. Palestine is not alone. In solidarity, The Progressive International Secretariat  
    • Most countries charge for entry to museums and galleries, often a different rate for locals (tax payers) and foreign nationals. The National Gallery could do this, also places like the Museums in South Kensington, the British Library and other tax-funded institutions. Many cities abroad add a tourist tax to hotel bills. It means tourists help pay for public services.
    • Having just been to Co-op to redeem a 50p off Co-op members' card voucher on an item that is now 50p more than it was last week, Tesco can't come soon enough
    • Surely that depends on the amount.  It can be quite piffling.
