Well, having just seen it I take it back that challenge was nothing like the Carragher tackle. Lucas got a bnasty little kick in there just before as well. Also, in both incidents Liverpool players are doing all they can to goad United players. After the Carragher tackle Kuyt is screaming abuse at Nani on the floor (something Keane was vilified for) and Raphael has his hair pulled (girly I know but obviously meant to be a wind-up).


Still, onwards.

Strange. Arsenal fans have been saying things like this for years, remember when the Neville brothers kicked Reyes out of the FA cup semi a few years back.


Still, onwards and upwards eh?

Hate the type of challenges made by Carragher and Raphael, going in too fast and reckless and to support Emerson they are the type that Arsenal have suffered from. There is a huge difference between the type of fouls made by David Luiz the other night - old fashioned clattering - and racing in at full pelt with studs raised with far greater potential for serious injury.


Liverpool deserved winners by a long way, as against Chelsea surprised Fergie didn't stiffen the midfield, but Arsenal missed a huge opportumnity by failing to win.


Anyway Palace have Cardiff at home tomorrow and QPR away on Saturday, god help us.

The one good thing to come out of the Rafael and Carragher challenges is that the Liverpool players showed a togetherness and stood firm against the hystrionics of the United players. Too often in the past they'd have allowed likes of Scholes and Evra a free hand to harrang the Ref but not this time. The Reds also showed aggression in the aftermath, but directed at United, which in effect shielded the Ref from the kind of abuse we have sadly seen too often in the past. This bodes well for continued team spirit at Anfield under Kenny.

Not worried about Sheff Utd, think you are gone. I am, it saddens me to say, afraid of the mighty Scunthorpe.


By the way I know Sheff Utd have had too many managers to change again, but Micky Adams and Dave Bassett! Against Palace it was very old fashioned football should be great v Magson's Sheff Wed next year!


Sorry that sounds harsh, don't want to see a big club like Utd go down but just can't see you escpaing it now.

Hilarious as usual Matt. It's good to have you back.

Outrage from the Manc fans on here raises a wry smile from yours truly and put me in mind of the famous saying from Corporal Jones on Dads Army "they don't like it up 'em". To express outrage when their past and present players have been as guilty as any of commiting such challenges is more than a little rich.

But more importantly, how happy were you feeling after yesterday's game on a scale of 1-10 Anna?!

      Recommendation on ASD Assessment

      By RachelMC · Posted

      Yes, I used Dr Elizabeth Kilbey for an ADHD & ASD assessment - http://www.drkilbey.com/  based in West Wickham. As my son now takes medication for his ADHD, I use Dr Michael Grant - https://www.wellbeing.associates/home There's also Clinical Partners - https://www.clinical-partners.co.uk/ - but I've not used them before. Wishing you all the best!

      Laptop not sorted any more 😭😭😭

      By Sue · Posted

      Oh dear. I waited for ages then used the power button. I had previously got a blue screen  message saying the laptop had "run into a problem" and needed to restart. If memory serves,  it was  ok after it restarted, but then later wouldn't shut down. I did Google and apparently it is a common issue with Windows 10. I haven't had time to investigate yet. Wouldn't you usually get an onscreen message if the system was updating, telling you not to turn off your computer? It has just started ok, but I don't know what will happen now.
