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.

    • Errr could it be because of the noise pollution coming from it perhaps? You may not be able to hear it where you live but anyone on the Dulwich Village side of Lordship Lane all the way to beyond Brockwell Park is being disturbed by it - the sound wash from it is huge and that's a lot of people. As I said before we know people who live nearer to Brockwell Park to us and they say it is unbearable.   To be fair the Emirates moved to a piece of wasteland between railway tracks so it actually in a less densely populated area now and the council actually goes out of their way to try to mitigate the impact on local residents and yes, other than the concerts, you could hear a pin drop on matchdays! 😉 
    • Chains moving in is a sure sign that LL is heading for a fall. They are parasites, waiting for the independents to be successful and then, in partnership with rapacious landlords, they move in and force out those very businesses who have created the market they then seek to exploit. They replace a lively diversity with a bland and predictable offering. Then, when a downturn arrives, they move out, leaving boarded up premises and charity shops. Independent businesses who have worked hard to make a success of their efforts will try to see out hard times as they’ve invested so much. Chains look only at the bottom line and think nothing of closing branches. Chains are liable also to expand too fast, be managed badly and then collapse. Think of Brick House being forced out by Gail’s, the closure of White Stuff (although that chain was replaced by another) and JoJo Maman Bebe. . Sadly, I fear that will be the future of LL. 
    • It’s the impact the festival has on the community, the people living next door to the park who have to endure the thumping music and worse. Then there’s the park and the state it’s left in and the wildlife, especially nesting birds. All the roads going down Denmark Hill towards the park were closed off and roads off half moon lane and going up towards West Norwood closed off with wardens at each end, who were paid by Lambeth Council to stand there for the 4 days.  The festival made the news channels and interviews suggested most of the people attending weren’t fron the local area but places like Ireland and Scotland.  I live a 20 minute walk from the park and could hear the thumping music all day and night. Also the wind certainly carried the smell of drugs to my garden! For 4 days I couldn’t believe how strong it was. 
    • Emirates Stadium is  >60,00 but they tend to be very quiet 🙂 Jokes aside though, it's a case in point. Highbury was <40,000 and was 300M up the road, so there are definitely Islington residents who used to live half a mile from a fairly big football stadium, and now live right by a massive one. One that holds rock/pop concerts too accomodating 70,000 fans whether they like ot or not.   40% of Islington households are in social housing so regardless of when they moved their current homes, they may have had little say in exactly where they are housed.
