Can't believe after 90 minutes of football Liverpool were looking sorted, and by the final whistles we are behind Man U and only a point in front of Chelsea. Funny old game and all that. Just hope Liverpool keep up the pace and make a good 3 way competition of it. As LadyG pointed out, last February Arsenal looked like they couldn't not win the league...

Phil Thompson's reaction on Soccer Saturday to Lampard's winner was great entertainment, Thommo was rocking back in his chair screaming, "GOOOOALLLLLL, GOOOOAAAAAAALLLLLLLL!!!!"


I watched most of the United game live on the web (via TVU Player), and to be fair teams who drive forward looking for goals deserve to get late winners more than teams who keep a defensive formation against sh!te teams for 90 minutes...


If Liverpool want to take charge of the title race they need to cut loose - that means 1) playing 4-4-2, with 2) Gerrard in central midfield and 3) Daniel Agger at centre half - and most importantly 4) priortise the scoring of goals over clean sheets.

Matthew 123 - could not agree more - think i said something similar before too = MU play to win and they get their just rewards. Liverpool I'm afraid may throw away their best chance to win the EPL unless they become more direct, especially at home.

hope liverpool can make a move on Monday night as now MU have headed them at the top, Liverpool really need to bounce back.

I went to the Vale to watch the Arsenal match -lovely comfy sofas, draught stella and warm fire - what more could a woman ask for! Incidentally they had shown the Bolton v Man U match live - shall have to keep an eye out to see what other sat 3pm games they will be showing.

I was praying he might keel over but no luck.


Pompey played their socks off and only luck stopped this being another 4-1 against a Judas side bound for relegation. I agree with Jah that Spurs were appauling. Definitely another team to be taken down by Redknapp.


PUP! ;)

West Ham 8th and Spurs 16th and this is the most miserable day ever! hmmm looks pretty good to me


According to experts today is the most depressing day of the year, or as the pessimists at the Daily Mail put it: "The most depressing day in HISTORY".


Toay is apparently so depressing it has been predicated that up to a quarter of workers would call in sick.


Cliff Arnall, a former psychology academic at Cardiff University, claims that there are six factors that combine to make today the ultimate of all bad days:


Lousy weather

Post-Christmas debt

Failed New Year's resolutions

Time elapsed since Christmas festivities

Motivation levels

The need for something to look forward to

My mum could have scored with that header that Bent missed in the final minutes and she's been dead for 15 years.

The only plusses in the game for us was our improvement in the second half and Defoe's fabulous equalising finish. We ain't going down. No way.

    • Exactly what I said, that Corbyn's group of univeristy politics far-left back benchers would have been a disaster during Covid if they had won the election. Here you go:  BBC News - Ex-union boss McCluskey took private jet flights arranged by building firm, report finds https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp3kgg55410o The 2019 result was considered one of the worst in living memory for Labour, not only for big swing of seats away from them but because they lost a large number of the Red-wall seats- generational Labour seats. Why? Because as Alan Johnson put it so succinctly: "Corbyn couldn't lead the working class out of a paper bag"! https://youtu.be/JikhuJjM1VM?si=oHhP6rTq4hqvYyBC
    • Agreed and in the meantime its "joe public" who has to pay through higher prices. We're talking all over the shop from food to insurance and everything in between.  And to add insult to injury they "hurt " their own voters/supporters through the actions they have taken. Sadly it gets to a stage where you start thinking about leaving London and even exiting the UK for good, but where to go????? Sad times now and ahead for at least the next 4yrs, hence why Govt and Local Authorities need to cut spending on all but essential services.  An immediate saving, all managerial and executive salaries cannot exceed and frozen at £50K Do away with the Mayor of London, the GLA and all the hanging on organisations, plus do away with borough mayors and the teams that serve them. All added beauracracy that can be dispensed with and will save £££££'s  
    • The minimum wage hikes on top of the NICs increases have also caused vast swathes of unemployment.
    • Exactly - a snap election will make things even worse. Jazzer - say you get a 'new' administration tomorrow, you're still left with the same treasury, the same civil servants, the same OBR, the same think-tanks and advisors (many labour advisors are cross-party, Gauke for eg). The options are the same, no matter who's in power. Labour hasn't even changed the Tories' fiscal rules - the parties are virtually economically aligned these days.  But Reeves made a mistake in trying too hard, too early to make some seismic changes in her first budget as a big 'we're here and we're going to fix this mess, Labour to the rescue' kind of thing . They shone such a big light on the black hole that their only option was to try to fix it overnight. It was a comms clusterfuck.  They'd perhaps have done better sticking to Sunak's quiet, cautious approach, but they knew the gullible public was expecting an 24-hour turnaround miracle.  The NIC hikes are a disaster, I think they'll be reversed soon and enough and they'll keep trying till they find something that sticks.
