So, Liverpool fans. Imagine this - season over and next day the big announcement... "Rafa's off".


Regardless of how it happens, what's your honest instant reaction do you think?



And while we're here of course they'll give their all against Chelsea. They need the points to be sure of UEFA next year.

Cap in hand, haha. Why do you think we love him Matt! 19 coming our way this weekend or next, it's all the same to us. :))

ITV Match Report: A dubious penalty on the stroke of half-time lifted the Merseysiders and they went on to dominate for much of the second period.


I listened to London Live's match commentary and although Millwall were not on sparkling form, the consensus was that the Ref gave everything Tranmere's way.


Off to look for some rotting grapes.

Last home game of the season today. A routine 2-1 win over Burnley in one of those games that will not affect anything major ? give or take a couple of positions in the league (not that the result was an accurate reflection of the game). I rarely stay on for laps of appreciation but, this season, given the achievements of the team, I did, as did nearly every Birmingham fan.


I never thought that we would be relegated this season ? unlike many pundits, including a number on EDF ? but we have exceeded my (realistic) expectations by 5 or 6 places. What has struck me more this season in the 40 years of supporting Blues is the attitude of the players throughout the season and the dignity of Alex McLeish. When the strains of ?Keep Right On?* rang out while the players were being rightly applauded, I felt very emotional and proud of my club.


This is what supporting a team is all about.


*the best song of any football club.

It goes back to our FA Cup win in 1956 and Alex Govan, on the team bus back from Highbury, was asked to give the team a song. Which was the original Harry Lauder version. And it stuck from then. It was also at one time adopted by other teams. When BBC2 did their George Best night, they had footage of Benfica v Man Utd semi-final in Lisbon and you can here Man Utd fans singing it.

Rafa is a likeable chap, but when you cut through the facts the football has gradually got worse since Paco (his assistant) left 3 years ago.

      You could try asking  ChatGPT? It recently saved me hours when I was looking to see if I was on the cheapest energy tariff for my usage, and gave me other very useful relevant  information.

      Parking in Herne Hill

      By Sue · Posted

      Yes it would be easier, and I give a lot to the hospice shops, but for various reasons there are certain things I prefer to give to Oxfam. However I might go through the books and see if some could be donated more locally. I think in any charity shop staffed by volunteers, the reception you get must depend on the member of staff. The Oxfam bookshop have always been very happy when I've taken shedloads of books there in the past. On the other hand, I've taken things to the hospice shop that were received very grumpily when they hadn't even looked in the bag or asked what they were. It felt like I was being a nuisance and causing them more work. I don't remember a previous thread on here  about the Oxfam shop and parking, but that's possibly because it wasn't relevant to me at the time.

      P13

      The other side of P13 drivers being risk averse is that I  have been on P13s at night that speeded (?sped?) down Underhill Road so fast I seriously thought they might crash.

      P13

      By Penguin68 · Posted

      Some P13 drivers appear very risk averse. I live in Underhill and on that road drivers are forced to back away, often considerable distances, from buses to allow them to pass, even when the bus has an immediate space it could back into. The driver at the time said that buses 'weren't allowed to back'. So reports of cars 'blocking' P13s might mean simply that the car was legally parked but the road too narrow,or the bus driver not prepared to risk advancing. NB some P13 drivers are both skilled and courteous, but not all.
