Behave yourself. When asked yesterday by a reporter after the game if it was a penalty, Berbatov was so embarrassed he couldn't look the man in the eye and looked very uneasy. Guilty conscience bothering him do you think?

You do realise you're agreeing with Big Sam don't you? ;-)


To be fair, most teams have had players who will take a tumble a bit too easily. Man U have just had a couple of particularly annoying ones, like Ronaldo. I think it is especially annoying when a player of undoubted ability makes a habit of cheating, because that is all people think of. Ronaldo is a great player, but I for one will always remember him for the dishonest side of his game.


And before anyone says anything, yes, I know that Liverpool players have been as guilty as anyone of taking a dive on occasion, and I hate to see it.


As an aside, did anyone see Warnock's comments about Diouf? I'm no Warnock fan, but I am totally in agreement with him on this. Diouf is just a nasty little piece of work. If he'd not been a footballer, he'd probably have been stabbed to death by now for spitting at someone harder than him.

I know Keef, very scary. Even more scary is poor old West Ham and the probability of ending up with him as their "saviour". God help them. Diouf is a nasty excuse for human life, and lets hope nothing untoward befalls him eh?

I'd not heard that Diouf may be heading to West Ham. I suppose he could do a job, as he does have talent, and is a fighter on the pitch. Unfortunately, he seems to forget that being a fighter doesn't mean you can actually punch people.


He's scum, but if he can do a job for the hammers, I say good luck to them, just as long as they off load him once something better comes along.


Besides, I'm sure he'll end up wherever Big Sam gets his next job...

Excellent appointment for Liverpool. It's only the Merseyside derby next Sunday and that's got to be a must see next weekend for any neutral at the moment. I'm hoping to get a ticket for the Spurs v Man Utd game but I'm not holding my breath. I'll watch it in the pub if I can't go.


So Emerson the two teams you obviously hate the most Man U and Spurs, would a draw make you happy? Or perhaps a win for Spurs would be a guilty pleasure you could secretly enjoy?

I thought Liverpool's treatment of Hodgson was awful. I am not talking about the sacking itself but how they did it. Cancelling the press conference, but making him do an interview for Liverpool TV to talk about the Utd v Liverpool game when everyone knew he was getting sacked. Surely they could have made the decision before then, a bit of a shambles made even worse by the fact that apparently they then sacked him by email, I think Hodgson, or any other manager deserves more than that.

I actually despise CSKA Fulham more than any club, just shows you how wrong you can be.

I agree it wasn't done in a good way, if the speculation can be believed. I am pleased however, that finally our business is being done behind closed doors without snidey leaks to the press.


It's worth mentioning that Benitez was treated in the same way and was in fact on holiday when it happened. I didn't notice any outrage then.

not sure the media is xenophobic per se. Witness Mourinho, he had them eating out of his hands. Wenger, lauded as one of the greatest managers of the modern era... Further down, another 'foreigner' doing very well at Brighton and being touted (by the media) as a potential great premiership manager.

What can be believed is that Hodgson was hung out to dry. I fail to see a reason where if Liverpool were able to cancel the press conference they were not able to agree a statement on him leaving without him being made to go on Liverpool TV to talk about a match they plainly knew he would not be in charge of. Not sure about the details of the Benitez sacking but those owners were never the best at PR.


I am sure with Dalglish in charge there will be a return to old fashioned ways of keeping things in house and returning to "the Liverpool way" of doing things on and off the pitch.


Will be interesting to see if Glen Johnson is as lively on twitter again, after some criticism from Merson he reacted by saying ?Comments from alcoholic drug abusers are not really gonna upset me and who is Paul Merson to judge players, he was average at the best of times,?. Not sure we will see tweets like that for a while. When will players realise a tweet is not the same as a conversation with your mates down the pub.

    • Since you’re clearly not experiencing what we are I’m not sure I agree with any of your points. I also asked for anyone else having a similar problem… it’s absolutely fine if you’re not but I’d appreciate less of the “go live your life”. There is no need to comment with that tone, it doesn’t provide us with any help for the matter. Nor is it polite. We’re a very kind family simply not wanting damage and don’t find the actions necessary. It’s been the same driver/delivery for a while and this never used to happen. I wouldn’t post this on the forum if it wasn’t getting so frustrating. Again, the kids and myself have kindly asked for this to stop a few times with no success. We all work hard for our living and would never want (nor are we trying) to rid someone of their livelihood. But similarly, I don’t find it fair. Please feel free to PM me if anyone has any advise or shares the same.  
    • And now we have the worst labour government in many many decades who, by moving to your position on the right, are ushering in a far right reform government. Well done you.
    • You implied he did a good job in your first paragraph when you said you would have hated to see Corbyn lead the country through Covid - the alternative being Johnson, presumably? With the results we all saw. Unite - you have a problem with unions? Who work hard to see that their members get a fair deal in their workplace? How exactly are these people and groups "all as bad as each other"? In what way? Labour "purging their party of the far-left" has given us a weak prime minister who has apparently deserted any "left" (aka caring for other people and having decent moral principles) leanings he ever had. Which is why people appear to be leaving Labour in droves and voting, or intending to vote, Green or Lib Dem or for an independent Left candidate. Starmer has shot himself in the foot, in my opinion. But what would I know. What worked?! I don't know enough about what you are talking about to comment, but "believing" you know the reason someone did something does not make it true. I don't believe that Corbyn ever got "starstruck" or "forgot about his politics", but if you can provide evidence that those things are true, then fair enough. I don't think you can, though.
    • I think you need to get a grip If it's who I am thinking of, she's a young black girl in her twenties, has braids with bright colours through them and - I suspect - works with her father. It's always the same man behind the wheel and he's older than her, always in the same van, so I'm assuming it's a father-daughter combo which, if it is, I think is rather sweet.  They hustle hard in a job that is poorly paid, has little prospects, is relentless and thankless. The fact that they have stuck it out since the pandemic says a lot about them.  I think she's a lovely girl, who's perhaps a little shy - but she'll smile or chat back if you make the effort with her. And I admire her for sticking with that job for so long. Perhaps she's just one of these people who's naturally a bit clumsy or bashes things, the same way some people are heavy on their feet when they walk. But I wouldn't dream of jeopardising her job because she closes the slams the gate and doesn't 'kiss' the ring doorbell with her fingers.  Perhaps she's being passive aggressive because you are. And perhaps she also wishes she got to spend her time worrying about potential damage to her letterbox or her gate.  As for your gate / letterbox - you're talking about hypotheticals. Has there been any damage? No. Then go and live your life and worry about it when it happens.  (apols we have the wrong person, but some of my points still stand).
