The queen never went woodrot - football used to be a working class game,


Mmm - the final... I marginally wanted Liverpool to win but the significant and growing part of their bleatingly, self pitying, siege mentality fans has made me less enamoured with a club I used to think ok. I noticed a Livepool fan has taken me off their Facebook friends for just saying they should move on from the Suarez incxident *waves at old Facebook friend from EDF


They won't half go on about the 'goal' that was disallowed - did anyone one else think Carrol would have scored if he's followed through rather than gone off celebrating?


Anyway, bunch of tossers lifted the Cup.

Can anyone explain why apparently a large section of the Liverpool fans booed the national anthem?


I heard radio broadcasters mentioning it last night and seemingly connecting it to the lack of respect Chelsea fans showed during a minutes silence on the anniversary of the Hillsbrough tragedy.

I've looked on the various supporters boards, but there doesn't seem to be a 'rational' reason for this - any more than there is any single reason for the riots last summer.


Most of the enthusiasts who think this was clever and inspired think so for different reasons. Some are going on about Hillsborough, some about response to what they see as an attack on Liverpool for being supported by racist bigots, some about regional identity and the north/south divide.


Liverpool fans have generally been disrespectful to the national anthem, but it doesn't usually escalate to booing, normally to singing 'You'll Never Walk Alone' loudly over the top.


It seems to me that this season Liverpool fans have really accellerated this bizarre sense of injustice they like to suffer from. This wankish stroppy sulky teenager response that blames everyone else for their own misbehaviour.


This is just the latest incarnation of it. Pathetic.


They always seem so surprised when people describe them as witless morons.

"Standing for the queen" is a fairly well known term for standing for the national anthem & does not signify the actual presence of the queen

I missed the first 10 minutes, so missed the National Anthem. Booing it does seem rather odd, but there you go.


For q cup final, it was a pretty decent match. Obviously gutted about the result, and think Quids may be right about Carroll's chance to follow up and finish that goal off. Did think he did well once he came on though, and wish he'd started. Chelsea did well at keeping Suarez very quiet.

So games...rather important week for the red n blue inmates of that post indstrial North West shithole has hasnt improved much since Engels wrote about it in less than approving style, about 150 yeas ago.


Both the mighty Toon and the troglodyte mud men mackem vermin can make or break hearts on the other side of the pennines in the next few days


predictions please

I thought Liverpool were pretty awful for most of the match. Carroll made a big difference but before that I thought most of the Liverpool players were not up to the standard of a club with so much expectation. I don't know if they were having off days all at once but particularly Henderson and Downing were very poor. Gerrard seemed to have no influence but maybe it was because of what he was surrounded by.


On another subject just heard a football journalist talking about Arsenal's end to the season. He said that their fans were so busy laughing at Spurs and saying 'mind the gap' that it looks like they've just fallen in it themselves. It sounded funny when hearing it.

How many times are you going to post that BL? If City win the league it will be because they have got the best players regardless of the cost of them. Mancini's u-turn on Tevez may be the deciding factor. If United do it will be a minor miracle given how poor we have been most of the season.


What would be fun would be if City won by a goal today and United won by 7 or 8.


Last time City won the league it was clinched at Newcastle with a 4-3 win. Hope that's not the case today.

Kenny Dalglish has come in for a lot of criticism this season, a lot of which has been deserved. However, credit where it's due, he didn't try to moan about the goal that wasn't and held his hands up.


"I thought it went in but if it hasn't then

give the officials the credit they deserve,"


"We've just got to learn our lessons from it

and understand we can't start the game

like that."

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
