I don't see why he should be laughing (a little smile maybe;-))...Man. U are more than capable of giving those teams a run for their money (in my most biased opinion).

It's a bit of a shame really that Inter and Barcelona are in the same half of the draw, surely it is time for UEFA to mess about with the CL one more time and seed teams from QF to Final (e.g. such as in Tennis). It's almost like a dead rubber now having a French team in the semi final whilst the only real semi final of interest is likely to be Barca v Inter.

This wouldn't surprise me. And judging from Fergie's comments about Rafa today he has clearly bumped his head.

Disagree, I'd like to see all seeding, avoidance of country clashes etc removed. The magic of the Cup and all that!

I'm not going to the game Anna (LUHG and all that) but have read stories that Utd and 'pool fans might have some sort of joint protest about their respective American 'owners', personally can't see it happening but any news about this from the other end of the East Lancs Road?

SOS have been in discussions with the FSF about joint protests with several clubs, but never with just United and Liverpool. One comment about Munich or Hillsborough and there would be carnage.


We did a joint protest with Pompey the other night though, but it seemed to be missed in the press.Some pics here

We tend to get shouted down by some of our fans when we protest as they seem to be blinkered to our financial problems. I imagine that when Torres is sold to fund our debt they may well open their eyes.


That said SOS has only been around for a couple of years, so to have as many members as we do, we are doing quite well.

The only way United and Liverpool fans will march shoulder to shoulder is if the country is invaded by alien forces ;-)


Agree about Ferguson throwing his toys out of the pram. Yes Gerrard should have got a ban but the Ref dealt with it on the pitch (if wrongly) which means the FA cannot then act. I doubt any of the hacks who cover the press conference would have the bottle to mention that but there we are.


As for the game, Liverpool have built up enough confidence this week to give United a very good game Sunday even if they did play last night so may be a little tired. My only real concern as is usual with a trip to OT is who is the Ref...

    • I've been there for lunch a few times and the home cooked asian food (as part of Sweat Dreams cafe) is genuinely great and a must try. I think the food side of the business has been slow to be noticed but people are now realising what is actually hidden in plain sight.  As for the Aroma Lab coffee ... it is excellent, they are very welcoming and friendly (and unpretentious!). This Australian coffee snob is mightily impressed!!  
    • Do you mean put out things like live mealworms for the parents to feed to the young? Or that the parents will eat the food you put out and therefore can save "wild" live food for the young rather than eating it themselves? On another matter, several weeks ago I moved my bird feeders to another part of my (very small) garden because the area they were in was totally scratched up by pigeons, and I lost several plants I had had for decades and was very fond of 😭 It is now just bare earth with no plants,  and I've got to start again. And block up a fox hole in one corner. I suspect the foxes are tunnelling beneath the garden, as there are several holes. I hope the ground doesn't suddenly collapse beneath me! I cleaned everything and put in fresh seed, but so far all that has visited the new area (that I have actually seen)  is one rather fat sparrow. And a cat. Sitting hopefully beneath the feeders 🤬 No goldfinches (I have a niger seed feeder and have seen the occasional goldfinch in the garden) and no tits, though I've heard both blue tits and great tits nearby. Plus the flock of sparrows who used to come and seem to have deserted the garden. Hopefully they will find the feeders. I've cut back some of the greenery, which doesn't help, as they have less shelter. 
    • So when will we find out? Is it going to be a big reveal on some specified day? If not, why can't you tell us now?! (I'm presuming you mean the new boss of Franklins. It would be too much to hope for that the Palmerston had a miraculous return to one of its better past incarnations. Never mind the food, they could bring back the lovely quirky painted column things of over twenty (?) years ago, and remove the hideous "art" that has sadly been installed. I feel really sorry for the staff, because it can't be just my partner and I who rarely go there any more. I suppose the only hope is that it does so badly that it changes hands again and that the new hands have better taste. Sorry, all off topic.)
    • I would hope that is extremely unlikely. If people accidentally vote for someone, that's their own fault, isn't it?
