I've just looked at a couple of "as it happened" reports, both of which say that the silence was well respected at the time. However, one of them later mentions reports that there was some faint singing, possibly by fans not yet out on the stands.


I dunno. The vast majority of Chelsea fans are just footy fans like any other, but they do seem to have a small number of comlete and utter cunts supporting them. And one captaining them.

Liverpool's performance on Sunday.....


Thought overall impressive but when it went to 2-2 I thought there was only going to be one winner and thought a number of Liverpool players went missing, especially Suarez who thought at 2-2 that the only way to win an important game was by fooling the referee into penalties/free kicks he didn't deserve, and clearly lost his composure by being regularly caught offside. The winner was a bit of an opportunistic effort, brilliantly taken.


Liverpool of course won't mind one bit how they got the points, any win against MC is fantastic, but they do seem to freeze a bit when teams come back at them.


My worry is that, assuming they beat Norwich??, that against Chelsea, they wont be able to establish that early lead, Chelsea being what they are.

Considering that Liverpool have won ten PL games in a row and that Chelsea's away form is patchy- i think Liverpool are strong favourites for that game and for the League title now. Plus Chelsea have the small matter of a two legs of a CL semifinal either side of the game.

That could well be the key. I hope Chelsea do quite well in the first leg, not so well that they feel it's won, but well enough that they're still in it, and maybe have that in their minds when they come to Anfied.


I then obviously hope they lose to Liverpool before getting buried in the second CL leg.


Neither Sturridge nor Suarez were great on Sunday, which for me shows what a good team performance it was.

That the ideal scenario

That's a glass half full approach.

And why not? Whatever will be will be now, not point being negative.


Agree with RD though, think Chelsea will be a harder proposition for Liverpool. City was always going to be a very difficult match which we could have lost, but it was always going to be like to boxers going toe to toe and throwing bombs. Chelsea will be much cagier and try to knock us out with counter punches.


As I say, whatever will be will be, but I pray we beat them, just to wipe the smug look off of Jose's face.

"but I pray we beat them, just to wipe the smug look off of Jose's face."


ah I remember last time I feltthat way


1000 games in charge for Wenger - surely THIS was the moment to ... awwww bugger


but I am so hoping Liverpool do it - and am booking time in the pub for that game. Everywhere will be heaving I expect

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
