Please correct me if I'm wrong nut isn't the author of the piece a Liverpool fan? If so he must have written this with a heavy heart but at lease he doesn't allow sentiment to cloud his judgement. He's spot on.

I guess for the match going fans it is a bit different, as they will look at this season as one with two or three trips to Wembley, and one or two cups won, which doesn't look bad at all. As one said to me, "no one remembers league position unless you finish 1st".


That is a fair point, and they are the ones spending their hard earned money, and commuting a large part of their lives to supporting their team, whilst the likes of me just watch in the pub. I do think though that they'd find it hard to read that and see the truth in it. The cup runs are undoubtedly papering over the gaping cracks. And lets not forget that Cardiff easily could have won the league cup if luck had been on their side.

Liverpool have some very good youngsters but I can't see the team being premiership contenders in the next five years.


Teams like Man City, Man Utd, Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham are widening the gap between Liverpool because of their youth policy and wealthy backers. That's the problem, whether you agree with it or not, Liverpool will always play catch up to the big five. As Liverpool improves, the other teams will as well from their position of strength.


Also, Liverpool were fortunate enough to beat the mighty* Cardiff in the mickey mouse cup. But there are still big names left in the FA cup to win it. Is the mickey mouse cup good enough for the Liverpool fans? Liverpool are not a top five side and so will not gain revenue from Champion League games and bolster their squad accordingly in the future. Realistically, Dalglish needs to be given five years to develop their young players before Liverpool becomes a top side again.


* sarcasm ;-)

United got lucky last night not conceding a penalty. I wonder how long Welbeck is going to get to prove or otherwise he is up to scratch. He just doesn't impress me as being exceptional.Meanwhile last season's leading scorer doesn't get a game. And what a talented player Berbi is.

Well done chelsea. Honestly didnt think you had a chance but i think you proved most of us wrong!


I know this is like trying to find a needle in a haystack BUT i really want to go the FA cup final and was wandering if there was any chance someone in the big ED could help me out? Willing to spend upto ?100, maybe more. Preferably in the spurs end!


Thanks.

The words FA Cup Final ticket and ?100 are never heard in the same sentence unless the sentence runs like this " you want an FA CUp Final ticket for ?100, are you serious????" B)

Very funny - Harry tells it slightly differently in his autobiog., that he told Futre to fuck off and didn't care if he never saw him again and that Futre came crawling back days later with his manager and lawyer, offered the cash first then offered Moncur the sweetener but that Moncur didn't give a monkey's what number he wore so all they had to do was square it with the FA.


Then - a little later - after seeing Futre, Dumitrescu and Raducioiu standing on the halfway line watching while WH's goal was being bombarded by Sunderland in the cold and wet he realised it probably wasn't going to work out.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
