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.

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!

      Fireworks

      By kbabes · Posted

      I heard them & our two dogs were extremely upset by it..  bad enough during the evenings but at least can have music on to dilute the noise!   Some people have literally zero thoughts for others!!

      I have signed that petition.  Someone was letting off loud fireworks at about 3 am this morning. They woke me up.   I don’t know where they were exactly but it sounded like they were in the vicinity of Dog Kennel Hill.

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.
