Agree with you on Song (One Song, we've only got one Song), but as for outplaying the Invincibles, not sure about that, they included the wonderful Bobby Pires, TH14, PV4, Cashely Hole et al. Beautiful in different ways.

Disappointing result but happy with the Liverpool performance. I thought it was a penalty on first sight but clearly a terrible dive by N'gog but then again that was never a free kick for their first goal. At least Liverpool played football tonight and was a great game to watch on TV.
Matt, Very honest of you to admit about the dive. Obviously gutted that you got the draw that way but given the possession and chances, I can't complain. Roger Johnson and Scott Dann were tremendous at the heart of defence. Given your overall dominance, Hart still didn't have to make many saves. And did anyone take my advice on the 4/1 for the draw (I'm too superstitious to bet on my own team). Run of games now against Fulham, Wolves, Wigan, West Ham and Blackburn - could go a long way towards safety in those five games.

Tbh I don't really give a monkey's about finishing in top 4 if we are not winning title because as Bill Shankly said:


"I remember seeing an American gangster film, and one of the characters said, 'Foist is foist and second is nut'n.' Then he took his gun and shot a bloke. Not many can be first in football."


On that note Shankly's autobiography has been re-released for those interested in the great man.

In regard the dive I thought it was very brave of the ESPN pundits to jump on their high horses over N'gog as I get the feeling if it had been Steven Gerrard or Wayne Rooney they'd have been squirming for excuses! I was half expecting Ray Stubbs to suggest N'gog be put on a slow boat back to France then burnt at the stake with a disgusted Cristiano Ronaldo lighting the match...
Matthew123 what a card you are, almost as funny as your manager. It's banter Matt, using your quote against you,just accept your club is not up to it. And remember it's 19 and counting or is it 20 years since the last title , it's been so long I've forgotten. Not good enough 4 a so called big club wouldn't you say? Anyway, must go time for bed.

Not moaning about the club matt. Moaning about the manager and his unpredictable selections and formations. I dont think rafa will start next season.

Have to wait and see what happens but I am a lot more positive after last night's performance. I think it makes a big difference the style of football when you don't have Jamie Carragher hoofing the ball back to the opposition - plus it allows the midfield to push further forward and sustain the attacks as at times last night it was wave after wave.

Oh Mick, quit the Rafa bashing -its tiresome!

Tell me what you would have done differently oh mighty one? Because I don't think he could have done much more last night. And while you're at it, tell who you'd replace Rafa with.


People were ringing 606 from the comfort of their armchairs to slate the manager when they can't even be bothered to get to off their arses and actually support the team? Well I never - that's never happened before.


P.S - it was pen from where I was sat, but given it was at the other end of the pitch and I was in the gods of the Kop its not fair I make a judgement. If he did dive then its a shame and I don't want that at Liverpool and won't defend it.


We deserve some luck though. I can think of at least two situations where we had a penalty shout this season and got nothing. Its just a shame Birmingham were on the receiving end. Mind you if you park the team bus in front of goal then you only deserve a draw.

    • 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
