I think it depends who you talk to but from my experience there is a real hatred for United amongst those on Merseyside that runs far deeper than with any other Club - Everton is a more traditional rivalry mirrored between Clubs across the country.


As for Ferguson's comments about who is United's local rivals I think it was made at the wrong time as all it does is belittle Manchester City. Fine go and say Liverpool are your chief rivals when you face Liverpool but why on the eve of the Manchester derby come out with those remarks? The only purpose it serves is to wind up the opposition. Ferguson was quick to point out the arrogance of Benetiz in his throw away line about Everton being a small club but I think this last few months Ferguson has gone way beyond that level with his own stream of put downs directed at Man City.


Harry Redknapp is another one who treats fans like idiots with his recent rants about Arsenal supporters. The likes of Harry Redknapp should take a long look at their own behaviour before they castigate the people who pay their wages.

Aah well. Disappointing result in a very competitive game. Not bad for 'long ball' west ham against the scientists of footie or whatever.

Worse still tfl decided to close all the stations nearby so had a vey glum two mile stroll all the way to the jubilee line. Ho hum.

If we carry on with performances like that and can avoid injuries (we lost upson and the returning behrami early on and cole was clearly fucked for the last half hour) then we wont be in a relegation fight.

Watched it on telly and it was good football by Liverpool, easily their best performance so far this season. The Reds were quite composed and stroked the ball about to good effect. I thought West Ham were very poor defensively especially that guy at left back. Jamie Carragher had a stinker for Liverpool - and on this showing needs to start looking over his shoulder as Agger will soon be fit.


Thought Ryan Babel impressed on the right flank, and it was good to see him whip in the cross for the winner. He clearly has a lot of talent and if he is allowed to build his confidence might be a crucial player this season in title hunt.


It's Everton who are the School of Science.. (a la Keef's preference of Everton vs West Ham than CL)

Well young Tomkins has great potential but was taught a lesson yesterday, he'll improve.

Our defence was pretty good on the whole but did make some key and occasionally schoolboy errors, but Liverpool's looked pretty exposed in the first half too.


It's not easy when you've had to sell one of your best defenders because you're financially fucked and then your best defender and captain comes off, but hey that's football.


I thought Johnson looked great by the way, real class.

Tomkins a very young defender exposed by possibly the best attacker in the world - looked poor? Well, maybe Matt. Caragher was once more shown to be a bit of a journeyman lucky to have been born in Liverpool I think. West Ham squad exposed if too many more injuries, Hines, great potential - Liverpool..need to sort out defense against set pieces

Impressive first half display by City - they look the real deal.


This could be the making of City if they can carry off a result. They've outplayed United. Apart from some Rooney magic I think it could be a struggle for United to wrestle back control of the match. United need to make changes quickly, which I think they will, perhaps Valencia and Nani for Giggs and JS Park who have both been fairly anonymous.

Excellent second half display by United, best team performance from them for many a year. Ryan Giggs was exceptional - at the centre of everything, like the Giggs of 10 years ago. Two cracking goals from Bellamy but then 2 minutes over the allotted 4 minutes of injury time up popped Owen with a vintage strike. Great game shame about the result.

    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
