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...

      Resident Doctors

      By HeadNun · Posted

      Half my family are medics, going back generations, and none of them would ever have gone, or would now go, on strike. I know times have changed, but my family knew what they were signing up for, and accepted the detriment to their families and the hours (which, in the junior years, were way longer when they are now)... because it was not only a vocation, but a stable career for life. And they felt a genuine duty of care to their patients, whom they often put before their own children.  I can only conclude that entry-level junior doctors are more entitled these days. Plus, it's insensitive to nurses, who really do deserve a lot more money and recognition.  There are issues other than pay, like the lack of available posts, and having to move around the country, but they can be improved without a strike.  I don't think the right people are being recruited into the profession anymore. We're all on lower wages and paying more tax than we were ten years ago, but many of us just have to suck it up, work our socks off and get on with it.

      Beglfire I start, I have a lot of respect for Doctors and owe my life to them after various mishaps over the years.  I am however getting a jaded view of them continuing to run the strike ballot next week in the middle of what is turning into a bad winter for the NHS. Of course they may vote to not strike, but personally feel it is irresponsible timing to consider it as hospitals are already struggling.  Today the BMA warned of scaremongering over the current flu outbreak (BBC News - BMA warns of flu 'scaremongering' ahead of doctor strikes - BBC News https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c5y22yzl6y6o) but just seeing how many people I know are going down with it, that feels like poor spin by the BMA. How do others feel ?

      We have also used Niko the plumber, he was great, fixed both of our leaking toilets and was also super helpful with advice about the shower leaking.
