In a similar vein I watched the DVD of us lifting the League trophy in your back yard, and, even though Wenger told them not, the players celebrating in front of the few die hard lilywhites who had stayed behind to celebrate the 2-2 draw because, as TH14 so brilliantly put it, had been "celebrating as if they had won the world cup!!" Well played

Oh God! Painful memories. I was there. I thought I'd deleted that from my memory banks. It hurt. It hurt really bad. Confound you Atila for reminding me.

Yeah! I'm hoping for a similar result for Spurs at White Hart Lane on the 16th Anna.

Gulp.. just hope Rafa doesn't now go and spread the ?30m too thinly on players who impressed him last season at Hull, Stoke and Wigan.. I'm gonna keep my fingers crossed it'll be spent on one world class player (and certainly not on some ropey Roma midfielder whose played 100 Serie A games in last 7 years).


Watched that friendly on TV Anna and was quite concerned with our display - it's been a poor pre-season and similar to a few years back that culminated in a 5-0 drubbing in Germany.. it spilled over into a poor start to the PL campaign so hopefully history is not repeated as want us up and running in style when we visit WHL.

Wasn't the best was it? I think we took it as training session that it was, but Espanyol were properly up for it so I wouldn't read too much in to it. They were celebrating their goals like they scored in a Champions League final or something.


It will hopefully give Rafa the final push he needs to off load Degen. Waste of space that lad.


You going to Spurs?

Yes Anna going to WHL


The Espanyol celebrations were nothing compared with that of Rapid Vienna who celebrated their goal against us like a last minute World Cup Final winner... I suppose this happens because there is no bigger scalp in educated Europe than that of Liverpool F.C.


I see that attention seeker Ferguson is bored again but this whopper - http://www.football365.com/story/0,17033,8652_5473996,00.html

Ah, I remember the score. It was 4-1 to Liverpool. I also remember the tally of points at the end of the season. It was 90 to 86. You are just jealous because there's no bigger scalp in uneducated Scouseland than United's title...;-)


I can't believe that even in your blinkered world you think that Ronaldo was our only player last season. If you do then you obvioulsy have no grasp of football.


You must be a bit worried now Alonso has gone. Who do you think Rafa will be spending his money on? This Roma player seems a bit of a dud if you ask me.

I put it to you in the same manner as Ferguson suggesting Liverpool only have 2 players (but you'd have to be blinkered not to spot that)... I think most people recognise that Ronaldo was not your only key 'player' last season although some of them have now retired from Refereeing.

Diffence is brains we have, and will win things, unlike Eastenders who have about as much hope of success as finding a Mancunian at Trafford Park.

Yes it was text book stuff, executed in exactly the manner that top coaches advocate ( sorry I;ll have to stop now as I'm laughing uncontrollably while I type this)

    • And now we have the worst labour government in many many decades who by moving to your position on the right are ushering in a far right reform government. Well done you.
    • You implied he did a good job in your first paragraph when you said you would have hated to see Corbyn lead the country through Covid - the alternative being Johnson, presumably? With the results we all saw. Unite - you have a problem with unions? Who work hard to see that their members get a fair deal in their workplace? How exactly are these people and groups "all as bad as each other"? In what way? Labour "purging their party of the far-left" has given us a weak prime minister who has apparently deserted any "left" (aka caring for other people and having decent moral principles) leanings he ever had. Which is why people appear to be leaving Labour in droves and voting, or intending to vote, Green or Lib Dem or for an independent Left candidate. Starmer has shot himself in the foot, in my opinion. But what would I know. What worked?! I don't know enough about what you are talking about to comment, but "believing" you know the reason someone did something does not make it true. I don't believe that Corbyn ever got "starstruck" or "forgot about his politics", but if you can provide evidence that those things are true, then fair enough. I don't think you can, though.
    • I think you need to get a grip If it's who I am thinking of, she's a young black girl in her twenties, has braids with bright colours through them and - I suspect - works with her father. It's always the same man behind the wheel and he's older than her, always in the same van, so I'm assuming it's a father-daughter combo which, if it is, I think is rather sweet.  They hustle hard in a job that is poorly paid, has little prospects, is relentless and thankless. The fact that they have stuck it out since the pandemic says a lot about them.  I think she's a lovely girl, who's perhaps a little shy - but she'll smile or chat back if you make the effort with her. And I admire her for sticking with that job for so long. Perhaps she's just one of these people who's naturally a bit clumsy or bashes things, the same way some people are heavy on their feet when they walk. But I wouldn't dream of jeopardising her job because she closes the slams the gate and doesn't 'kiss' the ring doorbell with her fingers.  Perhaps she's being passive aggressive because you are. And perhaps she also wishes she got to spend her time worrying about potential damage to her letterbox or her gate.  As for your gate / letterbox - you're talking about hypotheticals. Has there been any damage? No. Then go and live your life and worry about it when it happens.  (apols we have the wrong person, but some of my points still stand). 
    • Greg did an amazing job! He built a cabinet in my living room and added shelving. A lovely guy and perfectionist who goes the extra mile. He really understands what you want and comes up with various options to meet your price range. Would highly recommend!
