"I'm bloody glad Everton dropped points this weekend though"


No probs mate. Pretty encouraging performance. After a scary first 20 minutes or so West Ham really began to dominate the game. Boa Morte subbed thank god (please never let him play again, he's been worse than useless all season). Ashton becoming sharp again (despite a missed sitter), Sears looking very exciting, Noble returning to form (second half anyway, without him we're a lesser team) and Tomkin's inexperience contributed to Everton's goal, he looked better and better as game progressed.

BBC says Everton dropped 2 points, I'm pretty sure it was West Ham who did.


Not that anyone cares mind you.....

Funnt how Man U will moan about refs week in week out, but on an occasion where they benefit from reffereeing, he's suddenly had a great game :-S


You can't be serious when you say "Liverpool were beaten before he got sent off", that's totaly bo!!ocks, it was 1-0. Liverpool even put a lot of pressure on for an equaliser, but as I said before, this left them open. I don't care if I lose 1 nil or 5 nil so long as they're trying to get back in it, and Man U's defence looked far from comfortable.


Anyway, it's all done and dusted now, and Man U definitely in the driving seat for the title... A 5 point gap is not imposible to overturn though, as Arsenal have found out.

I don't moan about refs. What possible influence could I have? We out played Liverpool end of. 3-0 doesn't lie and a goal up by the time Masher was sent off. And the title is far from over but I can say with great satisfsfaction, a big grin and a warm sense of well being that Liverpool won't win the league AGAIN this season.

Hahahahaha. Here we go. I'm from the Midlands. I have supported Man United ever since I was a small boy. My father (81) has supported united all his life. I have pictures of myself as a young lad in Man united kit (the 70's when we were shit). I am a member of United and have been for about 15 years. I go to Old Trafford as often as I can (last time was when we lost to Coventry in the Carling Cup). How often do you get to Anfield? Oh, and despite the fact that I obvioulsy can't be a true United fan, Liverpool still aren't going to win the league this year.

Blimey ? it was only a question. I thought you were going to say Surrey ;-)


Since you have asked me one in return, I'll answer it. My family are from Crosby, hence my support for Liverpool. I go up to Anfield quite regularly and the games so far in 2008 include Sunderland, West Ham, Newcastle and I?m also heading up for the derby on Sunday. Not that it's a competition about who supports their club the most.......

Ferdinand??????? England Captain????? The same Forgetful one, who was banned for 8 months because he went shopping intead of having a drugs test???? Cappello has got a sense of humour obviously!!!! He'll never be captain material while he's got a hole in his bum.

With a Scouse father-in-law it's always a competition. Rio's good enough for United on occasion, should be good enough for England.

Well I was in Cambridge over the weekend and, the weather being truly horrendous, I watched both games in full in the hotel bar. I think Steve Bennett was quite dreadful. The Torres booking was ridiculous and other decisions were distinctly dubious. I recall Ronaldo going down in the area quite artistically and appelaing for a penalty, which was rightly waved away by Bennett but really such a blatant dive deserved a yellow. It was quite obvious that Mascherano's second yellow was simply a matter of time - he was giving Bennett so many verbals - and I did wonder if, when it did arrive, it was more the cumulative effect of the previous half hour's rather than the actually quite innocuous circumstance of the 2nd booking. Whichever, Mascherano should have stayed calm and, once it was clear he had quite lost it, his team mates should have dragged him off: one did make the attempt as I recall, but it really needed the team captain to assert his authority.


Although it was only 1-0 at the time of the sending-off, Man Utd could and should have been about 3-0 up I thought. Rooney missed two golden chances when the Liverpool goalkeeper was quick off the mark. But the sending-off ruined the contest. Torres could not do much up front on his own against the Man Utd defenders. An equaliser never looked on the cards.It was just surprising really it took so long for the 2nd and 3rd goals to arrive.


I was, incidentally, also amused by the light-hearted discussion about who was the more loyal fan. This is one competition I shall never win. I saw Sheffield United - "my" team - play Middlesbrough in the 5th Round of the FA Cup a short while ago and this was the first time I had seen the lads live and in the flesh in 33 years......>:D< (trust me there good reasons!). You'd yhink at the very least they'd have managed a goal for me after all this time....

Was pretty dull.

But I thought the first half was encouraging. given time (5 months preparation, plus plenty of time to grow during the ensuing year and a half) he may yet forge a half decent side.

It was a friendly, they never exactly set anything alight do they. I swore I saw Rooney and Makelele hugging at one point!

Atila how could you think we will lose to Bolton! Have some faith!

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
