Liverpool have actually gained the most points (8 I think) this season by scoring in stoppage time, at this stage of the season it's a real psychological blow to the teams around, be it top or bottom, part of the joy of last weeks late late winner for Utd was that I knew fans of Liverpool and Chelsea up and down the country were hands on head keeling off their chairs - I agree it's not good for the old ticker though...

Were you the solitary Blade watching the game in the CPT yesterday Simon?


20 years since the Hillsboro disaster so I hope Liverpool give Blackburn a real good tonking today at Anfield and Spurs give the Hammers a real hammering at White Hart Lane. Come on you Spurs!!!!

I remember I aws in the Southbank at West Ham that day (we were playing Southampton)...to be honest everyone just presumed it was a bit of normal crowd trouble, we didn't really get the full horror until afrwards. Awful. I think that finally made everyone realise that holiganism was pathetic - not becuase there was any hooligansm that day, there wasn't, but it was the reason that the fences were there. RIP etc

No I watched it at home. The only time I have watched us in a bar was the FA cup replay against Hull City, which (he said smugly) I watched in the Playwright Sporting Bar in Miami Beach, the day after watching Real Madrid v Liverpool there: the bar does a great Irish breakfast, and even imports HP Sauce!. It is easy to say with hindsight that winning at Reading was always on the cards, but I was afraid we might draw or lose. And Reading were so good in the first half of the season too. Another Blade in ED eh?! Blimey...


Yes, if we go up the West Ham games will be....interesting. There's a (thankfully small) section of the Blades support who will always think of WHU as cheats, just as some WHU supporters will be always be similarly scathing about us. It's the sort of grudge that can survive 20 years or more I think!


Steve Gerrard is quoted in today's Guardian and is very eloquent on the subject of Hillsborough. I do wonder how much this has contributed to his staying at Liverpool? Brass Neck award goes to "The Sun" which, if its website is anything to go, says all the expected things about the disaster but somehow omits to mention its own disgusting role in the aftermath.

As I've said I've long had a soft spot for the blades, and that has been tested somewhat. I of course have no issue with the fans whatsoever and never will, and should you ever make it to a bar to watch that game I'll be delighted to buy you a pint, or even an 'english' breakfast. White pudding?!!?!? Sacrilege!!
Daniel Agger and Mascherano will make a big difference in that 2nd leg. Still very much Chelsea's ball game but as we know goals change games and without John Terry nerves might kick in even at 0-1 or 1-1. I reckon best chance for Liverpool is 4-4-2 formation with Gerrard on right flank.

pretty tight game, and Di Michele really should have put that one away.


Mind you, you're welcome to the European spot, we're not ready, squad too small and too injury ridden for Europe. Plus Europe seems to precede at the very least flirtation with relegation with us; maybe next season.


Agreed, top goal.

    • Another strong recommendation from me from Peckham Rye area. Paul sent Damian to sort out our tripping sockets. We’d had another electrician come and try to fix it a couple of weeks earlier who was not good, but Damian was extremely thorough and methodical in diagnosing the issue and fixing it. He tested every socket to make sure the problem was sorted. He arrived bang on time and talked me through exactly what he was finding and how the problem had likely come about as he went. Very polite, friendly and excellent value for money. Wouldn’t hesitate to call them again if we need an electrician. Great team,  great service!

    • So have you never been in a house where the gas hob was turned on but not ignited?  You get a smell of gas,  You do not get an explosion when you light the flame.   You have to have a very high concentration of methane (over 4.4%)  for this to happen, the smell of the gas would be obvious half way down the street.  They add mercaptans to natural gas to give it that smell at very low concentrations.   Gas explosions happen once in a blue moon, in places like residential homes in the basements where, if unchecked, a leak can get up to explosive concentrations.   Back to my original comment about Bunsen burners.  You'd got 30 kids in a classroom but no explosions.   The establishment of Corgi (now Gas Safe) and the compulsory annual testing of boilers and cookers was mainly due to the relatively high number of deaths from carbon monoxide poisoning from faulty appliances and blocked flues in rented properties. I don't expect the OP to test it themselves, I would, but that his my decision.  But you may get Natural Grid to do this free of charge if you ask nicely. I thought the video was hilarious.  The guy shouts don't do this yourself, call in help.

    • Or maybe let @malumbu come round and test it for you, thus potentially getting two birds with one stone 🤣
