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.

    • Most churches rent out halls for children's' parties but rarely adult parties, Christ Church only does afternoon parties,   The East Dulwich Community centre hires out halls to 9 pm only and all music needs to be on a sound restrictor as is in a residential area. St Johns with St Clements have a small hall but not sure if they allow adult parties. Nunhead Green has a newish community centre with a couple of different size halls. Most places seem to charge around £40 ph  with a deposit of £100/200 (returned if no damage or excess cleaning needed.
    • Hello, Recently there have been various comments made on the forum which have resulted in heated discussions being had. I for one, hold up my hand and wanted to personally thank whoever is keeping the forum going.. remember when it was likely to close. We are all adults and should known when it is right to continue or just ignore or if really feel it necessary comment via pm. I have had a long relationship with the forum and have bought, sold, offered advice and in deed made friends on the forum over the years. It is a public forum after all and everyone is entitled to express their opinion and is also free. I am not as tech minded as most but with the season of good will approaching and-knowing in this economic climate how many people are  struggling, I  thought it would be a lovely idea, to perhaps set up a just giving page to raise funds for a local charity who might appreciate a contribution towards their Christmas festivities… On a practical side, might just be to complicated to administer as I am sure all have charities that we support so my other thought was not me, as I am useless but to set up a just giving page and whatever monies are raised, perhaps contribute to the festivities that use to be run by local shops or whatever.. Maybe even use a local church hall and just make it special for perhaps folk that find it difficult to access events or no access for say wheel chair users.. guess really, one is looking for guidance from the church and of course volunteers. Shoot me down if you must or feel the need but this is my view and no, sadly I won’t be around in the months before Christmas but can help remotely.
