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 can hear the Brockwell one really loudly in the Dulwich Park area already - and this is before the volume ramps for the headliners. A friend of ours lives much closer to Brockwell Park and says the noise there is unbearable. It seems like this weekend at least Dulwich is at the epi-centre of battling sound systems - like that awful spot in a festival field where you are getting the reverb from one stage interfering with the sound from the one you are trying to watch!

      I agree Peckham Rose and this extra freebie day does not make up for the event's disruption and imposition onto more and more of the park. Now they have significantly enlarged the footprint of the event space it really dominates and changes the character of the park.   I personally do not mind the music aspect, but do not live right beside it so very easy for me to say and agree that in every way this event should be moved to a suitable site, which this small London Park is not. The amount of barriers they have installed is just crazy and the signage expressing sudden concern about nesting birds cravenly hypocritical considering the barrage of sound, low bass and light pollution they will be exposing them to.

      Well I am outside the Clockhouse pub and you can barely hear anything.
