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

...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.

    • There are no road works in front of Cod fellas and yesterday when I requested a stop there the driver went straight past and never stopped untill Avondale Riss. As cars have to stop because of the lights why can busses not do this? 1 minute Bloodly mindedness.
    • These are the smokeless fuels you can burn on a open fireplace in Southwark: https://smokecontrol.defra.gov.uk/fuels-php/england/ https://www.southwark.gov.uk/planning-environment-and-building-control/environment/air-quality/reduce-air-pollution/reduce-smoke
    • Thanks all, our hope was (despite the diminishing estate) he would get on with it.  Progress is glacial, it's been two years since probate was granted, that's two cold and damp winters with no heating, and not surprisingly a pipe burst. He's blames the issues on the estate agent, who separately had a dispute with him, he had a wobbly when one of the beneficiaries spoke to the estate agent.  Separately he said it was the family's fault for letting the property get into a poor condition.  It was dated, but certainly not in poor condition. There are two five star reviews on Google, and five one star: ** WARNING** This solicitor firm has to be one of the worst I have encountered. The solicitor is prehistoric in his practices and will carry out work at his own snails pace, the fax machine he uses gets turned off at 2 pm and its near impossible to get him on the phone. STAY AWAY, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED, check the solicitors ombudsman, this firm has previous bad practice recorded.   Disgusting under no circumstances use this solicitor.For over 10 years he has not carried out the terms of a Will he has not re-invested money but has retained it.  He writes letters which are pure "Flannel" excuses for doing nothing.  You have been warned   shocking experience, delayed the whole process, told other side solicitors to not contact him as he feels pressured etc. never use.   Not fit for 21st century. No website, no email address, no electronic transfer. Very slow, very little communication.   Was not a pleasant experience dealing with this firm    
    • If you mean the one outside the church going towards Peckham, it still had the closed sign on it this morning, but as there are no road works there, I'm sure some of the drivers will stop there on request.  The stop outside the chippy coming from Peckham is closed as there are road works in front of it.  The 4 way traffic lights are in operation.., causing a lot of congestion.
