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.

      Christmas Cheese!

      By David Peckham · Posted

      An excellent point, ed. I reckon you could possibly get the cheese down to 75g per person depending on how many courses, the cheese media one is using and the accompiaments. A thicker biscuit can really increase the power of your cheese dollar. I'd also recommend putting all the last year's chutneys and pickles from the back of the cupboard in a single Kilner jar, adding a bit of malt vinegar and a grated apple, then attaching a hand written label saying 'Pikey's Pickle: Autumn 2025'.  It's not Megan Markle levels of domestic deceit, but it works every time. Pre-portioning cheese seems arbitrary, but I think acceptable when it's 20 people. It gives people an idea of how much a serving is, and negates the issue of somebody, normally a brother in law or cousin's new boyfriend, not taking their share of the rind. Remember, you're doing them a favour. Somewhere in the room there's an older family member who could see it and never forget. It's disinheritance stuff. It also gives rise to the great postprandial game of 'Cheese!' where guests can swap their share of cheese for another. Tastier than Monopoly and far less cardboardy, cheeses can be traded like currency or commodities. Hard and soft cheeses, dependent on their relative strengths, normally settle at close to parity but I've seen blue cheeses trade at less than half the price.  It's a Stilton lover's paradise, if you can hold your nerve.  Goat cheese lovers can clean up, but need to beware. As volatile as the 1970's Argentinian Peso, it's up and down like a bride's nightie.   I think I'll stick to Neal's Yard, then.

      Another vote for The Cheese Block on LL but for 20 adults, you'd better be willing to pay a fair chunk of money or hope that they'll be happy with very small amounts of cheese! Other than that, supermarket or search online for a large Christmas cheese hamper and take your pick. For example: https://www.finecheese.co.uk/collections/christmas-selections-hampers (only mentioning them as we had a gift hamper, much smaller than a big Christmas one, from them a while ago and it was very nice). I'm sure there are other excellent options.
