Liverpool used to have a policy of only signing players with big ugly noses - Phil Thompson, Ian Rush, Aldridge etc.

What this all proves is that, decade after decade, ugly players win titles.

Yeah the reason is you can be in both halves at the same time, it was a defend while attacking strategy.


Good team Liverpool.

If we hang on for another 15 mins then that's us safe for another year......


...i'd be sh1tting it if I was a geordie..two tough games to come (arsenal and Chelsea I think) and Stoke, Blackburn and Boro all look capable of getting out of the relegation zone..


not looking good for Ratty's boys either

Well done Robbie Keane involved in all 4 goals for Spurs tonight - and turning in the kind of tap in against 'Boro that Dirk Kuyt failed to convert, against same team, last weekend. Funnily enough most of the strikers Rafa has offloaded in recent seasons seem to be more lethal in the penalty box than the man they left behind.. Dirk Kuyt.


Not sure why that is.

On the subject of the ugliest players ever to walk the face of the earth:

1. The Neville Brothers

2. Martin Keown

3. Luke Chadwick

4. Ian Dowie

5. Rio Ferdinand

6. Charlie George

7. Chopper Harris


That'll do for now.


On the subject of last nights games


How did Lucas Neil manage to stay on the pitch last night? Ronaldo - yes Taylor caught him by hooking him around the neck, but was there a sniper in the stand? The best highlights last night were the Man City game, best goal was Carlton Cole, both for execution and lead up play, great goal.


Can someone please tell me why Fergie still refuses to talk to MOTD, is he still perpetuating some petty grudge from god knows when, even 'Onest 'Arry has kissed and made up with the BEEB.

I thibk the Neil and Parker were both lucky to stay on the pitch...I think Cole was unlucky to go...I think Newcastle are in the doo doo.


I think Fergie does now sometimes speak to MOTD but he has a grudge over them about their agent exposure panorama which included his son...


Old bagpuss Redknpapp (Kerchiiiing, another wing on my mansion in Sandbanks) just can't resist spouting off to the media...

I think Parker's histrionics were hilarious, had it been Ronaldo we would never had heard the last of it...great goal by Cole by the way and he shouldn't have been sent off, whereas Neill and Parker should've. As has been said before referee Atwell is not all he's cracked up to be, the lower divisions beckon...
Parkers histrionics were matched by Ronaldo going down clutching his face even when he had been hooked around the neck, which apparently led to handbags in tunnel at half time with Ronnie calling Taylor a rubbish player ( fair comment) and Taylor calling Ronnie ugly & spotty (touche)The thing is with Ronnie is that he has built up a bit of reputation for histrionics and simulation (stupid phrase) over the past few years so he's only got himself to blame.

Haven't seen the highlights yet but according to the radio commentary Ronaldo made a lot of it but it was red card. Suprise, suprise Matthew hasn't been on yet talking about the injustices of referees decisions towards United. Now, where's that flying pig?


Good result last night and still on course for the league so that's nice. All the other stuff is just gravy!

The silence is deafening...;-)

    • Direct link to joint statement : https://thehaguegroup.org/meetings-bogota-en/?link_id=2&can_id=2d0a0048aad3d4915e3e761ac87ffe47&source=email-pi-briefing-no-26-the-bogota-breakthrough&email_referrer=email_2819587&email_subject=pi-briefing-no-26-the-bogot_-breakthrough&&   No. 26 | The Bogotá Breakthrough “The era of impunity is over.” That was the message from Bogotá, Colombia, where governments from across the Global South and beyond took the most ambitious coordinated action since Israel’s genocidal assault on Gaza began 21 months ago. Convened by The Hague Group and co-chaired by the governments of Colombia and South Africa, the Emergency Conference on Palestine brought together 30 states for two days of intensive deliberation — and emerged with a concrete, coordinated six-point plan to restrain Israel’s war machine and uphold international law. States took up the call from their host, Colombian President and Progressive International Council Member Gustavo Petro, who had urged them to be “protagonists together.” Twelve governments signed onto the measures immediately. The rest now have a deadline: 20 September 2025, on the eve of the United Nations General Assembly. The unprecedented six measures commit states to:     Prevent military and dual use exports to Israel.     Refuse Israeli weapons transfers at their ports.     Prevent vessels carrying weapons to Israel under their national flags.     Review all public contracts to prevent public institutions and funds from supporting Israel’s illegal occupation.     Pursue justice for international crimes.     Support universal jurisdiction to hold perpetrators accountable. “We came to Bogotá to make history — and we did,” said Colombian President Gustavo Petro. “Together, we have begun the work of ending the era of impunity. These measures show that we will no longer allow international law to be treated as optional, or Palestinian life as disposable.” The measures are not symbolic. They are grounded in binding obligations under international law — including the International Court of Justice’s July 2024 advisory opinion declaring Israel’s occupation unlawful, and September 2024’s UN General Assembly Resolution ES-10/24, which gave states a 12-month deadline to act. UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the occupied Palestinian territory Francesca Albanese called them “a momentous step forward.” “The Hague Group was born to advance international law in an era of impunity,” said South Africa’s Foreign Minister, Ronald Lamola. “The measures adopted in Bogotá show that we are serious — and that coordinated state action is possible.” The response from Washington was swift — and revealing. In a threatening statement to journalists, a US State Department spokesperson accused The Hague Group of “seeking to isolate Israel” and warned that the US would “aggressively defend our interests, our military, and our allies, including Israel, from such coordinated legal and diplomatic” actions. But instead of deterring action, the threats have only clarified the stakes. In Bogotá, states did not flinch. They acted — and they invite the world to join them. The deadline for further states to take up the measures is now two months away. And with it, the pressure is mounting for governments across the world — from Brazil to Ireland, Chile to Spain — to match words with action. As Albanese said, “the clock is now ticking for states — from Europe to the Arab world and beyond — to join them.” This is not a moment to observe. It is a moment to act. Share the Joint Statement from Bogotá and popularise the six measures. Write to your elected representative and your government and demand they sign on before 20 September. History was made in Bogotá. Now, it’s up to all of us to ensure it becomes reality, that Palestinian life is not disposable and international law is not optional. The era of impunity is coming to an end. Palestine is not alone. In solidarity, The Progressive International Secretariat  
    • Most countries charge for entry to museums and galleries, often a different rate for locals (tax payers) and foreign nationals. The National Gallery could do this, also places like the Museums in South Kensington, the British Library and other tax-funded institutions. Many cities abroad add a tourist tax to hotel bills. It means tourists help pay for public services.
    • Having just been to Co-op to redeem a 50p off Co-op members' card voucher on an item that is now 50p more than it was last week, Tesco can't come soon enough
    • Surely that depends on the amount.  It can be quite piffling.
