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.

      Bumpkin I’d say feed and clean.    The RSPB say garden birds are low risk for avian flu but take precautions and clean feeders and birdbaths regularly.    Birds will be starting to nest soon and food you put out can at least feed the parents so they can feed live food to the young who can’t take seed yet.    It’s reccomended to wear gloves and clean feeders/birdbaths with mild disinfectant weekly.

      We had a take-away from Aroma Lab last night. I was impressed, utterly delicious stir fried tofu and sweet and sour chicken. Generous portions too… will definitely make a habit of eating their home-cooked food.

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      By Moovart · Posted

      I think that's a big assumption.  Many people vote for the candidate precisely because they are a member of a particular party and represent that party's policiies.  I personally didn't know who McAsh was in the last election, but I knew what party he represented.  When politicians don't act "morally" what are we to think of them and their motivations? But I think there will be people who want to vote Labour, don't know that McAsh has defected and accidentally vote Green precisely because they do vote for the name.  Yes, you could say they need to read the ballot paper more carefully but it's possible to see one thing and not notice another.

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      By Blah Blah · Posted

      Morally they should, but we don't actually vote for parties in our electoral system. We vote for a parliamentary (or council) representative. That candidates group together under party unbrellas is irrelevant. We have a 'representative' democracy, not a party political one (if that makes sense). That's where I am on things at the moment. Reform are knocking on the door of the BNP, and using wedge issues to bait emotional rage. The Greens are knocking on the door of the hard left, sweeping up the Corbynista idealists. But it's worth saying that both are only ascending because of the failures of the two main parties and the successive governments they have led. Large parts of the country have been left in economic decline for decades, while city fat cats became uber wealthy. Young people have been screwed over by student loans. Housing is 40 years of commoditisation, removing affordabilty beyond the reach of too many. Decently paid, secure jobs, seem to be a thing of the past. Which of the main parties can people turn to, to fix any of these things, when the main parties are the reason for the mess that has been allowed to evolve? Reform certainly aren't the answer to those things. The Greens may aspire to do something meaningful about some of them, but where will they find the money to pay for it? None of it's easy.
