I don't know why Liverpool didn't push on for a 2nd goal at 1-0 - they had all the momentum, Everton were running around chasing shadows then with 20 minutes to go the Reds decided to button down the hatches and throw away the initiative.


Late goals always are lucky goals but bringing on Lucus rather than Mascherano seemed to be more about building Lucus's confidence and sticking 2 fingers up at his critics than actually trying to close the game down. It all left Rafa with egg on his face at 1-1 with Robbie Keane and Torres already substituted - and before anyone says don't blame the manager, well the manager always take the credit after a good win so it works both ways.


I've always said if you are happy to settle for 1-0 then you can't blame anyone when you get hit with a sucker punch.


I wouldn't say Liverpool are running on an empty tank but they are certainly not in the right gear.

Pretty fair summary Matthew. We are still well in it, but we are stalling, and need to pick up quick and hope Man U drop some points somewhere... I would genuinely be proud of second if we make it a fight to the finish (obviously I'd prefer first), I just hope we don't fade like a Primark T-Shirt!


On a more ammusing note, Man City's executive chairman suggesting that Milan "bottled it" over the Kaka transfer... Not of course that the player looked at it and thought, "actually I earn quite a bit where I am, and I'd like to win some medals".


And a day later, has Robinho done a runner? Lets hope so >:D<

It's time to laugh at City again!


How can you be the richest club in the world and not only fail to lure a player for half a million pounds a week but also lose your club and country record signing in the space of 24 hours?


Oh, hang on, it's because it's City. :))


However, I am sure Craig Bellamy is going to set Eastlands on fire....

Some cracking FA Cup matches this weekend, it looks a real good 4th round draw. The game that stands out for me is Cardiff City v Arsenal - I think that could be a Cup classic. I think Wenger will be making a big mistake if he puts out a youthful team. As for any shocks, well I think that might be down at Fratton Park where I think Swansea can beat the Cup holders Portsmouth in their own backyard.

      Tree Killer – Seeking Advice on Dealing with Toxic Neighbours

      By Sue · Posted

      Whilst I agree, I have been thinking about this recently in relation to some of the other posts on here about anti social behaviour. We are all products of our upbringing - our experiences at home, school and beyond - plus whatever we have inherited genetically which might affect our behaviour (the nature/nurture thing). So in this case, if people haven't been brought up to love and appreciate trees and other wild things, plus as you say they may be deeply unhappy (or have other undiagnosed issues) it's easy to see how they could have ended up doing this. Also, it's possible they had quite low intelligence and didn't really grasp what they were doing and the effect it would have on so many other people. But that's just surmise and possibly completely wrong. From what I've read about it, they seemed to be two mates egging each other on, like two big kids. I'm not for a minute excusing what they did, and it's right they should be punished, but I really hope they might get some sort of rehabilitation in prison (it would  be appropriate to have them do some kind of community service like planting saplings, wouldn't it, or working in woodland conservation). And the same goes for phone robbers and shoplifters (rehabilitation, not planting saplings), though for SOME  shoplifters there might also be other issues at play, not excluding poverty. Sorry Jasonlondon,  I've gone off at a real tangent here, lucky it's in the lounge! Oh oops I've just noticed it isn't. Sorry admin. Oh, and then there's a whole philosophical discussion to be had about free will and determinism ..... 🤣🤣🤣

      Thanks! I'll find out in a few weeks when I get the results! It was one of those disconcerting things where a disembodied voice keeps booming  at you to breathe in and hold it, then breathe normally. Apart from that it was OK, all completely painless. I imagine there will be quite a few people going from ED, though I presume it covers the whole Southwark area

      Tree Killer – Seeking Advice on Dealing with Toxic Neighbours

      By FellbriggSam · Posted

      Two men behind ‘senseless’ felling of Sycamore Gap tree jailed for more than four years Good to see these two jailed today for four years. There’s something deeply disturbing about people who destroy trees—any tree. Whether it’s a centuries-old landmark or a sapling in a quiet park, trees are living beings that offer beauty, shade, and life. The men who cut down the Sycamore Gap tree are a stark example of how far some people will go to lash out at something peaceful and meaningful. People who harm nature like this aren’t just destructive—they are often deeply unhappy. It takes a troubled mind to look at a tree and see something to ruin instead of something to protect.
