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.

      Promo counter/ trade-show stand wanted for community art project.

      By Lillo · Posted

      A bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      By Rockets · Posted

      No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.

      Electrician (Highly recommended) - James Seth

      By AlanMBarr · Posted

      I would also like to add my recommendation for James.  I had taken four names of electricians from the forum - in the order I had read the reviews.  First three no response - even days later. I phoned James this morning. He answered, gave me a time, stuck to it, messaged again 15 mins before arrival.  He fixed my problem on the spot.  Sensible charge out fee. Perfect service.

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      By David Peckham · Posted

      Most recent polls for the next election suggest it will be a hung parliament, with Reform the largest party by a fair margin. But that is predicated on Reform finding around 300 candidates who are actually electable. Given the number of Reform council candidates who have had to drop out prior to or after the local elections, does that seem likely? Social media is pretty unforgiving when it comes to finding skeletons in cupboards; a retweet or a like seems enough to scupper political ambitions. A few may defect from other parties, but do you think the electorate would really vote for so many brand new MPs from a newish party?  I'm not so sure.
