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.

    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
    • Oh dear, hope you are OK, I've had it three times and it was worse each time, but not a patch on many of those who got it before they vac' role out. Not commenting on the discussion as I got confused many days ago beyond the reminder that Corbyn would not compromise and the harm that could lead to him, the party and regards Brexit pre and post referendum the country.  Starmer goes too far the other way at times.  
    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.   
    • @NewWave I know how you feel. Like you, I've lived and spent prolonged periods of time in some pretty crazy places and always thought I could handle a bunch of kids. But, no - they got to me and I was shaking like a leaf afterwards. That's what age does to us.  But I did engage with them, so bear that in mind.  My advice would be to never let anything like that stop you doing the things you love. I'm certainly not going to stop using the park, there's no way they get to take away our cherished spaces!  If you see them, just change tack and keep out of their way. My dog won't even go that way again, so that's that problem solved. (If I see them again, I'm going to keep taking photos from a safe distance).
