You applaud the players by buying a ticket???? Not the same as cheering and applauding is it!!!

how underrated Park and O'Shea are


I've always liked Park.


As for below the belt Keef...videos of Gerard kissing the camera and various other posts by your lot when you beat us?


Two wrongs don't make a right, I see your point, and thought at the time that it would come back to haunt Liverpool fans, but surely you can see the difference? Your lot actually win a shed load of things, and have always been so cocky about it (not so much the players, although Ronaldo lacks class sometimes). That is why I find it very hard to take my hat of to United sometimes, I like a gracious winner.


If Liverpool win the league anytime soon, I cringe to think how some (and we both know who I mean) will act, and I'd find that just as classless!

Couldn't have put it better myself

As for below the belt Keef...videos of Gerard kissing the camera and various other posts by your lot when you beat us?.


Errr... :-$ Yeah, sorry about that. I did apologise at the time though (and I was encouraged). Don't really like to be smug as it does tend to bite you on the arse.


Didn't really watch the game last night although I was praying for an Arsenal win. Hopefully they'll want some vengenance in the league.

Yeah, sticking 2 fingers up at other people for an acheivment that isn't yours is much better.


This is why I have come to the conclusion that I am not a "real" footy fan. I love watching the game, I want Liverpool to win things, and I particularly like it when they beat certain teams.


Yet, I will cheer these other teams in european games, and if Liverpool get beat, I will go about my day and move on...


... to the oval perhaps.

I really don't understand why anyone who is a Liverpool fan would want to cheer Man United over any other team unless it's to Liverpool's advantage and vice versa - are you seriously telling me Keef you would support United in the Final over Barcelona or Chelsea!?


If Spurs were playing Real Madrid tonight I may root for Spurs, but I'd not expect that from West Ham, Arsenal or Chelsea fans. Rivals do not support each other - you do not cross that line! :)

are you seriously telling me Keef you would support United in the Final over Barcelona or Chelsea!?


Against Chelsea I wouldn't give a sh!t, I'd just watch as a neutral.


Against Barca, I'd honestly be a bit torn. Yes Man U are Liverpool's biggest rivals, but why more so than anyone else? For scousers and mancs, it's obvious local rivalry, but for a supporter from London, or indeed Wales, why should it be such a big thing?


Having lived in Liverpool, yes I feel a bit more competetive towards Man U than most teams, but if they're playing a european team, then I just want to see a great football match (and whatever you say, Man U are a great football team, with a very good midfield), and I'd be quite happy to see an English team win. Then I hear a load of Man U fans being total cocks about it, and so I suddenly feel like I've been foolish to cheer them... It's a catch 22 for me :-S


I'd never boo a Man U player in an England shirt though, well possibly Phil Neville giving away that penalty years ago.


This competition about being a proper or real fan gets on my tits. You and Anna go up to Anfield all the time and follow the team. I don't because I can't afford to, and honestly if I had more money, I'd spend it going to see gigs rather than footy matches, because it's a better experience for me (I have crappy eyesight, so going to matches gives me limited access, I'd rather see it clearly on a tv with a cold beer in the pub).


However, I love watching football, probably as much as anyone else on here, and I feel a lot of love towards Liverpool because I have fond memories of the place, and going to Anfield a lot (when it wouldn't have meant every spare penny I have).


Please don't take that as confrontational, I am just trying to explain how I see things.


Where we definitely differ, is that I would much much rather see England win a world cup, and experience that joy and buzz in the pubs, than cheer Liverpool winning any cup.

I admire your Corinthian spirit Keef, I find the most obnoxious vitriolic fans don't tend to come from the area of the team they support, they're easy to spot, they overdo the 'I hate so and so' act to compensate, wearing it like some badge of honour hoping they'll be readily accepted into the fold...

I'm shocked, My undying love for ManU has been made very apparent on the forum so although un-patriotic I will be supporting Barcelona if Chelski fail, I wont support United in Europe even though they are an English club because it would be wrong sorry I just cant help it.

No way Mike! I thought you'd be right behind us. ;-)

Never apologise for being passionate about your club mate, it's a good thing there are still people like you out there, and I wish a few more of them were at our place last night!!

Really sorry mate I just think that so many people dis their largest rivals all season and then support them in Europe when their team has been eliminated, it's a bit false and to be honest. I know it's a little harsh but I am at least being honest I dont want to inflame anything theres no point, I just think that it would be shallow to support them while despising them during the season.

    • Have you tried Southwark's leisure centres? As a regular attendee at Peckham, Camberwell, The Castle and speaking to friends, the dance routines for all ages are similar to Silver ones. In addition Natty, Bianca and Isac are brilliant instructors. 
    • I've been there for lunch a few times and the home cooked asian food (as part of Sweat Dreams cafe) is genuinely great and a must try. I think the food side of the business has been slow to be noticed but people are now realising what is actually hidden in plain sight.  As for the Aroma Lab coffee ... it is excellent, they are very welcoming and friendly (and unpretentious!). This Australian coffee snob is mightily impressed!!  
    • Do you mean put out things like live mealworms for the parents to feed to the young? Or that the parents will eat the food you put out and therefore can save "wild" live food for the young rather than eating it themselves? On another matter, several weeks ago I moved my bird feeders to another part of my (very small) garden because the area they were in was totally scratched up by pigeons, and I lost several plants I had had for decades and was very fond of 😭 It is now just bare earth with no plants,  and I've got to start again. And block up a fox hole in one corner. I suspect the foxes are tunnelling beneath the garden, as there are several holes. I hope the ground doesn't suddenly collapse beneath me! I cleaned everything and put in fresh seed, but so far all that has visited the new area (that I have actually seen)  is one rather fat sparrow. And a cat. Sitting hopefully beneath the feeders 🤬 No goldfinches (I have a niger seed feeder and have seen the occasional goldfinch in the garden) and no tits, though I've heard both blue tits and great tits nearby. Plus the flock of sparrows who used to come and seem to have deserted the garden. Hopefully they will find the feeders. I've cut back some of the greenery, which doesn't help, as they have less shelter. 
    • So when will we find out? Is it going to be a big reveal on some specified day? If not, why can't you tell us now?! (I'm presuming you mean the new boss of Franklins. It would be too much to hope for that the Palmerston had a miraculous return to one of its better past incarnations. Never mind the food, they could bring back the lovely quirky painted column things of over twenty (?) years ago, and remove the hideous "art" that has sadly been installed. I feel really sorry for the staff, because it can't be just my partner and I who rarely go there any more. I suppose the only hope is that it does so badly that it changes hands again and that the new hands have better taste. Sorry, all off topic.)
