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'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.

      Will Mandelson be accepted across the pond.

      By malumbu · Posted

      I'm a bit worried by your sudden involvement on this Forum.  The former Prince Andrew is now Andrew Mountbatten Windsor Mountbatten in an anglicisation of Von Battenburg adopted by that branch of our Royal Family in 1917 due to anti-German sentiment. Another anglicisation could be simply Battenburg as in the checker board cake.  So I surmise that your are Andrew Battenburg, aka Andrew Mountbatten Windsor and that you have infiltrated social media so that the country can put the emphasis on Mandelson ather than yourself.  Bit of a failure. I don't expect an answer from police custody.

      John Marx (Top Marx Kitchens): highly recommended kitchen fitter

      By enya · Posted

      We had John fit our PLYKEA kitchen (IKEA cabinets with custom doors) and would happily recommend him and Gabi to anyone. Gabi handled all communication and was brilliant throughout — responsive and happy to answer questions however detailed. John is meticulous, cares about the small details, and was a pleasure to have in the house. The carpentry required for the custom doors was done to a high standard, and he even refinished the plumbing under the sink to sit better with the new cabinets — a small touch that made a real difference. They were happy to return and tie up a few things that couldn't be finished in the time, which we appreciated. No hesitations recommending them.

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      By Suggsy · Posted

      Not sure about that. Rockets seems to have (rightly in my view) identified two key motivating elements in Mcash's defection: anger at his previous (arguably shabby) treatment and a (linked) desire to trash the Labour party, nationally and locally. The defection, timed for maximum damage, combined with the invective and moral exhibitionism of his statement counts as rather more than a "hissy fit".  I would add a third motivation of political ambition: it's not inconceivable that he has his eye on the Dulwich & West Norwood seat which is predicted to go Green.  James Barber was indulging in typical LibDem sleight of hand, claiming that Blair introduced austerity to *councils* before the coalition. This is a kind of sixth form debating point. From 1997-1999 Labour broadly stuck to Tory spending totals, meaning there was limited growth in departmental spending, including local govt grants. However local government funding rose substantially in the Noughties, especially in education and social care. It is a matter of record that real-terms local authority spending increased in the Blair / Brown years overall. So he's manifestly wrong (or only right if the focus is on 1997-1999, which would be a bizarre focus and one he didn't include in his claim) but he wasn't claiming Blair introduced austerity more widely.

      My view is that any party that welcomes a self-declared Marxist would merit a negative point.
