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

...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.

    • Wanted 2 x Adult and 1 x Children tickets for Dulwich fireworks tonight please!
    • Labour have changed a number of things overnight.   1. VAT on school fees - this has resulted in 25,000 moving until state education. 2. Increasing NICs adding billions to the cost of going to work. 3. Introducing the Employment Rights Bill causing employers to stop hiring. This and item 2 have added 100,000 people to the unemployment scrapheap. These are also causing businesses to relocate further harming the economy. 4. Scrapping all the small boats deterrents meaning 60,000 illegal migrants have arrived in small boats since they were elected. 5. Dishing out huge public sector payroses with no conditions so we have a massively increased payroll and doctors etc arestill going out on strike. 6.changed IHT and non domicile tax rules causing 16,500 millionaires to leave the UK and stop paying any tax here at all forever. 7. Alongside 6, leaving the budget up until an historically late period after the last budget has caused a house price crash, killing the market and decimating government stamp duty receipts. 8. Their profligate borrowing (£100bn extra in just one year) to fund all their lavish promises means the government can now only borrow at the highest ever yields on records. They are more beholden to the bond markets than Liz Truss was. 9. The rate of inflation has doubled under this government. It was a healthy 2% when they came in. For most of the last year, as a result of all of the above it is now nearly 4%.   These are all decisions the Labour government took that have immediate cause and effect.  Its no good harking back to 15 years ago. The current administration was gifted the fastest growing economy in the G7 and within 15 months they have destroyed it.    And things are only going to get worse this winter.      
    • I use Autocar Repair in West Dulwich.. been using them for over 20 years. Excellent service… 
    • A lot to agree with here - don’t get me started on Irish people complaining about immigration! - but that final paragraph is once again a cop out  there’s a lot of extreme right wing money stirring up the division that people are feeling - but there is zero excuse for handing power to these people. We live in a democracy and if we have enough people willing to give it up then judging those people foolish enough to do so is not only something that will happen, it is something that the rest of us should be morally compelled to do  if someone wouldn’t “normally” vote for a racist party yet somehow will do so because they hear someone like me saying that would be bad, then you better believe I’m judging them
