That bollocks Narnia. Robbie Keane's scored 45 goals for the Republic. You've got to miss some to score some and that's a great goalscoring record he's got there. He's also your record goalscorer. Who else has regularly scored at his rate over the years for Ireland? No one has come remotely close. I reckon you're still pissed off for his penalty miss the other night. Get over it.

He's not as sharp as he was but he's still a top class player. There is plenty of competition up front at Spurs so it's hard for him to get a look-in. I think it is entirely possible he could be on the move in January. I think his time is up at Spurs.

You're right about Rooney. Vastly over-rated. A very good player against the Wigans and Boltons of this world but doesn't cut the mustard at the highest level. His current form is very poor. Good job Berbatov is doing the business for you.

Annasfield, cutting and pasting from the "Rafa is the greatest" website is hardly a rational argument and kind of proves my point.


You say I don't know anything about Liverpool because I can't be bothered to find out, fair enough. How come you and a huge amount of Liverpool fans seem to know so much about the internal workings of your club? I've been a West Ham fan for 25 years, bought season tickets, know a few ex players, my daughter has been a mascot. I have no idea about their finances, I'm interested to find out how Liverpool fans get such transparency?


I'm delighted the sale has gone through by the way, Forza Liverpool, hopefully it'll bring a modicum of reality.

We know so much because we care and bother to dispell the lies that are created by the media. It's not difficult to source that sort of information if you look in to it.


It's quite tiring when you meet someone and get chatting about football and someone who clearly likes and knows quite a lot about football tells you "Rafa had to go, his transfer record was shit!". Well actually it wasn't.


I quite like West Ham. A proper football club and always one of my favourite aways. I think LFC and West Ham have a similar type of fanbase. It's a shame really, as the tenure of Gillett and Hicks has turned those who really care about LFC attention away from the pitch. I can't tell you how much I'm looking forward to going to Goodison on Sunday and not having to go to a protest beforehand. Hopefully we can get back to football.

Where hopefully Everton will win :)


The real problem Liverpool has is living up to it's glory days. Every manager that comes in is expected to bring LFC back to that, and that's a big ask, especially given how much the game and club management has changed. Liverpool have had some good runs over recent years in the champions league, but the truth of the modern premiership is that money has taken over substance and I think Liverpool have become a victim of that. Big finance does not equate to silverware as Chelsea have found out in their pursuit of the Champions League trophy. Ultimately good managers who make the right choices are who make the difference. I think Benitez was limited in what he could achieve with Liverpool.

To be fair to the Killer she did say in pursuit of the Champions League though they did lose on a penalty kick (Arf! John Terry) in a final. I too remember when they were shit but I also remember the great teams they had in the late 60s early 70s with Hudson, Osgood, Cooke, Hutchinson etc. I used to go and see them a bit then (70/71/72) and stand in The Shed when I was moonlighting from White Hart Lane and they were a bloody good side to watch.

As a response to DJKQ's post yesterday, I think you need a good manager AND a shed load of moey for real sucess these days. One or the other will not do it.


Pains me to say it, but Fergie is a great manager, but I suspect he wouldn't have done so well at a smaller club over the years. Equally, you can give all the money in the world to a guy, but if he doesn't spend it well, then get his team playing as a unit, it won't bring you any silverware.


Anyway, Everton 1-0 up at half time. Come on you reds!


Annoys me a bit how people in the press were expecting a totally different Liverpool today. Yes they will be pleased it's all sorted, but it's still the same team it was last week.

Oh well, can't say as I wasn't expecting the pool to lose today. I'm not too worried about the table, because a couple of wins can make a massive difference. BUT, they can't get any layers in until January, and Woy needs to get their chins up a lot sooner than that, or they really might be in trouble.

    • Dear Tessa Jowell GP Surgery, I write as once again I have experienced poor levels of patient service with the GP practice. On the Monday 3rd March I completed two online forms on your online platform. One was regarding pain following a ankle operation and the second request, was for a sick note: My pain was addressed by a telephone call at the end of the week by a GP.   I received a call from a clinical member of staff today regarding my sickness certificate. In the call, I was asked what can the surgery help me with? I informed the clinical staff member, I had no idea why the GP surgery was contacting me. The clinical staff member informed me, she was contacting me because of a sick note I requested for my employer on 3rd March 2025. I informed the staff member, today was 10th March, and I requested the sick note on 3rd March. I asked why I was being provided with a telephone appointment now? The member of staff informed me, this was due to clinical need. Its appalling, I have had to wait until the following week, for a clinical staff member to contact me, about a sick note for my employer. My employers policy, is similar to most, I am expected to present a sickness certificate to my employer to cover all absentness for sickness (except for the first 7 days of which I can self certificate). The delay in someone contacting me as led to me breaking my employers sick policy. This is totally unacceptable. This is not the first time I have been placed in this position, as it took several days for the previous sick note to be administered by a GP, which again my employer was not happy about. Infect, my employer reminded me, this was not the first or second occassion I had delayed submitting a sick certificate. I did ask the clinical staff member, why there was a delay in sending me the sick certificate, and I was advised, I needed to infrom my employer to refer me to their Occupational Health Service. I am not happy of the continued delayed services being provided by the surgery. You will see below, I have complained on a number of occasions, and you will see the surgery has a unwritten policy of not replying to complaints by email. The first entry in the email below dates February 2024, which mainly includes appointment slots, and non clinical issues. Despite assurances, things will improve in 2024, There is still issues with this surgery. In my last complaint on 3rd December 2024 there was no response from the surgery. Can you please explain why I have had to wait for someone to contact me today, despite a responsibility for employees to provide a sick certificate to their employer, straight after the previous sick certificate expires? There does not seem to be sufficient clinical staff to cater for the amount of patients registered at the surgery. This appeared to happen throughout 2024, and now in 2025. I must of been expecting a delay in administering a new sickness certificate as I completed one of your online forms as below, I was advised by a different Doctor, I could not request a new certificate, while a current certificate was in place. Based on my experiences, how can I ensure, if I need a medical certificate because i am unable to work, what should I should do differently? also, what is the surgery going to do to ensure I am not in a position like this again? Last week, my sickness could of been viewed as unauthorized as I had not complied with the sick staff policy once again. I have been nursing a painful ankle, following a operation. I should not endure additional stresses from the GP practice, on top of feeling very unwell. I was told during the call, a certificate would be provided until the end of the month, however, I have no idea how to access that certificate, and if the certificate would cover from todays date, or from the date requested. Despite assurances, of a better service from 2024, there still seems to be problems at the surgery, and I don't really see non clinical issues not being resolved. I am also still waiting for information regarding the next Patient participation Group meeting no information has been provided as yet, despite three online forms being completed, and assurances in summer 2024, this information would be presented to me. I have now asked for the Parliamentary & Health Ombudsman to make contact with me, as I have seen very little progress and have included the Care quality Commission into this email for the first time. I am very much exacerbated with the service being delivered by Tessa Jowell, and would welcome massive positive changes for the surgery. I know you usually do not respond to complaints, however, I would be grateful if you can replay to this email. Regards
