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.

    • According to what I can see online, Dynamic Vines and Cave de Bruno sell totally different kinds of wine to each other.  Dynamic Vines  "work with independent winemakers who produce outstanding wine using sustainable practices in the vineyard and minimal intervention in the cellar".  Cave de Bruno specialises in French wines and spirits from small independent producers. So two different USPs, and no doubt two different but overlapping customer bases who can afford these wines. Probably different again to the people mainly  shopping for wine at Majestic or the Co op. On the other hand, the two empanada shops appear on the face of it to be selling virtually identical products. But time will tell, won't it? Let's see how they are both doing in - say - a couple of years' time. Impossible, of course, to compare that with how they would have done if there had been only one of them. I just feel more  sorry for the original one than for  the one which can apparently already afford to have a number of shops in places like Mayfair and Highgate. I'm tempted to buy something there every week, and I don't even like that kind of pastry 🤣
    • Not only can he turn olive oil into Vermouth, but also water into a wine. A true miracle worker.  I wouldn't say a wine shop sells a wide variety of things - and there are two right next to each other.  And once upon a time, upmarket pizza shops were very specific. So were burritos etc. These Argentinian cornish pasties are clearly becoming mainstream; we should consider ourselves lucky to be witnessing this exciting upward trend within our lifetimes and on OUR HIGH STREET. We can tell our grandkids that we remember when there was no internet and no empanadas.  I'm sure that if the family empanada people have a good business head, they'll be able to ride this wave of competition, just like Bruno has. 
    • Very economical. Are you available for events? I've got a gathering of 5000 coming up soon. What could you knock up with two little fishes and five loaves of bread? Cod in breadcrumbs? Fish finger sandwiches? Spanish-style croquetas de bacalao with a Romesco sauce? It's BYOB for beer, so there's no need to worry about that and I've managed to do an unbelievable deal on water and wine. Drop me a DM on here or ask for Dave or Jesus (pronounced 'Hay-Zooze') in The Herne, left hand side of the bar.
