I agree with PD. Get rid of the handshake at the beginning. It's so contrived. It never used to happen. If you feel like shaking the hand of your opponent at the end of the match then feel free to do so but you shouldn't be forced to do it at the beginning of a game.

Indeed, I rest my case.

Mancini has been a bit harsh on Hart imo - If he doesn't want his players criticising the team/performance then he should ban them from giving interviews immediately after games and see how that sits with the tv companies.


I thought it was refreshing to hear Hart's disappointment and anger come through instead of the usual platitudes tv interviewers love (like the follow up with Mourinho with tv idiot desperately trying to get 'the special one' to say he felt sympathy for Man City - plucky losers etc. - only to be met with a typically blunt "No").

My first attempt (I am usually naff at this)


Swansea 1 Everton 2

Chelsea 1 Stoke 0

Southampton 2 Aston Villa 1

West Brom 2 Reading 0

West Ham 3 Sunderland 2

Wigan 1 Fulham 2


Liverpool 2 Man Utd 2 (probably wishful thinking)

Newcastle 3 Norwich 2

Man City 2 Arsenal 2

Tottenham 3 QPR 1

More insightful journalism from Robbie Savage...


It is a fact of life that Liverpool and United fans don?t like each other, but that doesn?t give them a licence, at such a sensitive time after the Hillsborough revelations, to cross the line between rivalry and bad taste.


Lots of people hate having their teeth drilled - but they don?t walk into the surgery singing vile songs about the dentist.


Commuters hate it when they are late for work because their train doesn?t run on time - but they don?t chant abuse at the train driver.


All together now...


You only sing when you're drilling,

sing when you're driiiiiiling,

you only sing when you're drilling


You're late and you know you are,

you're late, and you know you are...

I was at White Hart Lane last night. In what was a very entertaining game that was let down by a very poor Romanian referee. Lazio players constantly got away with niggling fouls on Lennon, Bale and Defoe and we had two legitimate goals ruled out. On top of that Lazio fans were clearly heard from where I was sitting giving a few of our black players monkey chants in the second half. I hope UEFA have taken note and do something about it though I suspect they won't. There was also bit of naughtyness down the Tottenham High Road after the game between rival fans. I think it could be a lot worse in Rome.

The handshake is SUPPOSED to highlight the "respect" campaign, but I fail to see how an enforced, and insincere gesture has anything to do with respect. Get rid.

Echo Otta's sentiment about being crap at this (or I'd be doing the pools - do they still exist?) but as everyone seems to be having a punt...


Swansea 2 Everton 1

Chelsea 2 Stoke 2

Southampton 1 Aston Villa 2

West Brom 0 Reading 0

Liverpool 1 Man Utd 3

...maybe the Lawro game should have a thread of its own.


The Anfield panto starts tonight (Ch 5 9pm), wonder how mawkish/intrusive/emotionally-manipulative the prog. will get when it deals with recent events... well it IS channel five...

so that was "Being Liverpool FC"...


hm...


how can I put this...


What a bollock-achingly, wince-inducing, over-stretched, fawning, embarassment of a puff piece.


A sick-making bag of tat.


A massive fucking slobbery love letter from Fox, a real Anfield arse-licking.


They used to make watchable documentary/fly-on-the-wall stuff years ago (remember "Orient - Club For a Fiver"?) but now they (you know, them!) make hour long commercials in the American style.


I have to go and throw up.

I know Liverpool were on top though I'm not sure where their goals were coming from. United played badly and won which just about sums up their season so far. That is apart from losing to Everton who along with Arsenal appear to be the two best teams in the league at the moment.

    • Is he local to South London? My father made his solicitor the executive. I, for many years had Lasting Power of Attorney to deal with all his finances including liaison with his bank and payment of his care home fees. I was also responsible for the sale of his home to release funds for care home fees. When he died, I notified the solicitor, obtained the death certificate and organized the funeral, cleared his care home of his possessions . Myself and my cousin were beneficiaries but my father had left a small sum of money to a man in the Midlands whose name was unknown to all of us including my step mother. It  took around 9 months for solicitor to establish that this gentleman had been deceased for a number of years . This obviously put additional charges onto the fees.
    • He's probably in his 70s, just doing a few more bits of work for his clients, many now deceased (ie executing their wills) who will be in their 90s. Everyone else who is younger than 90 will do their research and not use him,
    • I suppose we are lucky that our daughters both drive so do not have alcohol when they are with us.  I start my Christmas food shopping in October, when prices are generally lower. Turkey Crown from Iceland, gammon from Sainsbury's, get put into freezer as do any other bits and pieces i.e. prawns/seafood. Fruit and veg from Aldi nearer the time,. Having 3 vegetarians plus a gluten intolerant, I make much of the other food stuff including desserts. Aldi's version of Baileys is half the price, plus beers and ciders are good value. Neither of us are wine drinkers We generally have fish or vegetarian based food from Marks plus a dessert, I suppose I have always been a careful shopper - I was a single parent for many years where all my wages went to paying the mortgage leaving around £10 a week for food and other bills. My work colleagues used to mock me when I said that a chicken would last us all the week ending up boiling up bones to make a soup base. Old habits die hard even when you have a bit more in your pocket to spend.
