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.

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.

      Plumber recommendation - Maurice Hinds

      Maurice fixed a blocked pipe in our bathroom, was communicative and reliable during the enquiry process, personable and professional during the fix and reasonable in his pricing. Would recommend.

      Farage hypocrisy?

      By vladi · Posted

      Dishing the dirt is generally fine when it comes to politicians and in Farage's case he often deserves it but  nothing illegal  has been done. It is not illegal for him to give his partner a sizeable amount of money with which to buy a house and have it registered in her name. He is 64 years old and his partner is 16 years younger and so he most likely is making plans to minimise IHT. There is a sliding scale for IHT but basically a gift is free of IHT if the gift is made 7 years before the donor dies. Farage is 64 years old and his partner is 16 years younger. In 7 years time, if he lives that long, he will be 71 years old. Given that he smokes like a chimney and drinks like a fish, his odds on getting beyond 71  years may be pretty slim.  A similar  process is followed by the "bank of mum and dad"  where parents  give money to their kids to fund purchase of a property. Many who are not cash rich will mortgage their home and so release equity to fund their kids property. We did it as have many of our friends.

      They are being taxed into oblivion.    a lot of them, previously fully subscribed (we'll call you, don't call us) are no advertising desperately for new pupils, even paying for those bulk junk mail drops.
