Liverpool were fortunate with the penalty, but played well, and deserved something from it.


I've slagged off Bellamy in the past, not for his football, but for his actions off the pitch. Last night though he was a hero on the pitch, with a great goal to take us through.


I know the league cup isn't exactly the Champions League, but it's a trip to Wembley, and any of the top 5 teams would have set out to win it once they were in the semis.

Problem for Palace all season has been we can't score enough goals, Freedman doing a good job though after a year in charge, making us difficult to beat and then building from there. Palace v Liverpool would have been a perfect final, happy memories of Villa Park.


El Clasico - Real Madrid very unlucky, ref seemed to give everything to Barcelona, disallowed goal, dodgy sending off, added nowhere near enough extra time and then blew before time was up.

REf should have sent off Diara for Real, not sure how he and Pepe didn't get their marching orders. Great game though and 4 great goals especially the Alves and Benzema ones.

I see the Hammers are after Rangers centre forward. I suspect they will be forced to sell by their bank even if it's not as much as they think he is worth. I gather their situation is pretty dire which should make it all the easier for Celtic to win the league.

If Rangers lose Jelovic they will be significantly weakened, I can't see then being able to get someone in as good as him at short notice. Celtic seem determined to keep their best players at least to the end of the season.

What a marvelous weekend of football ahead of us we have with a couple of tasty confrontations ahead of us. They'll be plenty to talk about I'm sure. Will Evra play against the Pool? I'm damned sure Terry will play against QPR. Anyway, I'll hold my hand hands up and admit that Tottenham were bloody awful tonight even though we won with Van De Vaart's only contribution of the night. Goalie should have save it as well. Think the bounce done him.

    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
    • I do hope NOT, wouldn't trust Farage as far as I could throw him, Starmer & co.  He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.   
    • Everyone gets the point that Corbynites try to make with the "total number of votes cast" statistic, it's just a specious one.  In 2017, Corbyn's Labour got fewer votes than May's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes). In 2019, Corbyn's Labour fewer votes than Johnson's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes); and he managed to drop 2.7 million votes or 6.9% of vote share between the two elections. I repeat, he got trounced by Boris F***ing Johnson and the Tories after the Brexit omnishambles. It is not true that a "fairer" electoral system would have seen Labour beat the Tories: Labour simply got fewer votes than the Tories. Corbyn lost twice. There is no metric by which he won the general election. His failure to win was a disaster for the UK, and let Johnson and Truss and Sunak into office. Corbynites have to let go of this delusion that Corbyn but really won somehow if you squint in a certain way. It is completely irrelevant that Labour under Corbyn got more votes than Labour under Starmer. It is like saying Hull City was more successful in its 2014 FA Cup Final than Chelsea was in its 2018 FA Cup Final, because Hull scored 2 goals when Chelsea only scored 1. But guess what - Chelsea won its game and Hull City lost. Corbyn's fans turned out to vote for him - but an even larger group of people who found him repellant were motivated enough to show up and vote Tory.
    • I guess its the thing these days to demonstrate an attitude, in this instance seemingly of the negative kind, instead of taking pride in your work and have standards then 🤷‍♀️
