RE Boyd, hard to say as I wasn't in the vicinity. Boyd clearly dived and Joe had a go, was it just and angry altercation and spittle flew ? I don't know but 3 three independent referees [who don't meet each other, just chosen at random by FA and sent video evidence to make their own judgement] They deemed it spitting on purpose.

George Best was small and boy was he targeted. That was because of how good he was. In the particular game you refer to, Keane wasn't even playing. If he was then perhaps a lot of hairstyles would have been put out of place.

Can I have a go? - I agree with you. One aspect of BT Sport coverage which is starting to annoy me is they seem desperate to find and provoke conflict, even more than Shreeves at Sky, and they were going right at this.


Shouty emotional people who've been running around may eject spittle - I don't think he spat though and it should have been left as the ref saw it. Hart leant in, but didn't nut, leave it to the ref.

Genuinely thought Liverpool might do a Liverpool and ness today up after a great result kast week. After so many years of their inconsistency it's hard to believe they might have actually learnt to grind out results. Comfortable in the end, but first half had me biting my nails.
Liverpool are definitely benefitting by not having to play in the Europa League. I'm not using that as an excuse for how shite Spurs are but I think it is an advantage over other teams who have had to participate in that competition. I'm rather hoping we finish 8th this season.

Yeah I don't think any red would deny that not being in Europe at this stage is probably a benefit. And any other cup for that matter.


At the end if the day, reds (me very much included) are dreaming of a league win right now, but 4th was the target at the beginning of the season, and it looked a big ask before a ball was kicked. So whatever happens now it's been a very successful season.


But I am really really starting to think we have a chance...

You probably won't get a better chance Ots. Next season you will definitely be in the CL, and unless you beef up your squad substantially over the summer, I can't see you having such a good season again. But whatever happens this season, both yourselves and Arsenal have had good seasons PL wise.

I'm with Jah on the EL, I don't care if some fans think it's disrespecting the competition, I don't want Utd in it.

Hands off Jah, 8th place is ours!...

I think that's probably a fair summary. We don't have much depth at this stage and whilst I think we will strengthen, the CL will be a big distraction assuming we get to the latter stages.


Still think we've got an uphill struggle, but in our (well the players) own hands with home fixtures so long as we can keep winning games like today.

Am I the only one who saw Jah The Man step/stagger out of a retro Mercedes outside the EDT Saturday afternoon...wearing the scarf of his new fav team.

Unfortunately it was six of one and none of the other.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
