STOP PRESS: SENSATION!


Liverpool awarded "dodgy" Penalty at Anfield...just like they have been given, on countless occassions in 1963,1964,1965--1970--1971,1972-1980,1981,1982-1990,1991,1992--2000,2001,2002,2003,2004,2005,2006,2007,2008,2009----

I saw Liverpool were going to win comfortably and switched to itv4 for the Chelsea game - which was good.


Liverpool were no doubt great tonight, but they really need the big prize, the holy grail, the Premiership. As Shankly said (paraphrases) "this clubs primary objective each year will always be to win the English League Championship"


If Liverpool win the Champions League they cannot lay claim to be the best in Europe (not like the old days) as they have not been the best team in England for so long (unfortunatley). I think Rafa has to go if you want to achieve that. I suspect Liverpool would swop a Champions League (or even two) to be the best team in England again.


THE LEAGUE IS YOUR BREAD N BUTTER - Bill Shankly


Interviewed shortly after the 1973 League & UEFA cup ?double?, Bill Shankly pointed proudly to the glistening First Division championship trophy and described it as the club?s ?bread and butter?. He said that being successful in Europe had been good for the club and good for the country but that winning the League was what the club wanted to do ?all the time?.

Agree, league is top prize, but come on, that was pretty bloody cool, and would not say no to another champs league. Do believe however that europe should be icing on cake, not everything. SP, I'd be surprised if your lot went out tomorrow, it could happen, but no need to expect it with your current form.

I said 'pool would go thru' and that I wanted all 4 English clubs to get to the semis.

I can't wait to piss on your fireworks this Saturday though...;-)

Liverpool were OUTSTANDING from what I saw last night - it was obvious within the first few minutes they were going to run riot and fair play to them I say- now just keep out of our way if we win tonight!


Atila - was that you I saw walking along East Dulwich Rd with a cigarette about 6ish last night?

Gerrards side foot half volley last night was, for me, exceptional. Goals of the month/season are often given to long shots into the top corner that on another day could have gone wide or over, I think in terms of finishing, this goal showed the greatest possible skill. One of his best goals.

I think what last night's result highlighted is how poor the Spanish League is.

Everyone has been raving about how good Barca are, but in the context of Franco's Facsists performance last night, there's obviously no decent opposition to them in Spain.


I'm not bothered about the penalty decision or the dive that Gerrard did to win a free kick early on, as I've said before these things even themselves out over the course of a season, but maybe some of the 'pool supporters will now stop bleating about conspiracy theories and referees favouring Utd...

Well done Liverpool and Chelsea. Penalty or not Liverpool were awesome and Gerard's goal was a fantastic finish. Casillas pulled off some great saves for Madrid and if it wasn't for him it could have been a lot worse.

I'm rather suprised that no one has mentioned Eduardo's spectacular finish last Sunday. Although I can't stand the Arsenal I think Eduardo is a bit special. A natural goalscorer, he's reminds me of a young Robbie Fowler and he has the killer finishing of Jimmy Greaves although Greavsie was a lot quicker and far more prolific than either of them.

Yeah but he still scored nine goals that season even though he was pissed most of the time. I saw his last game in a Spurs shirt in an FA Cup game at Crystal Palace where we lost one-nil and he never played for us again after that. I was gutted when he went to West Ham. He was my boyhood idol.

That's the kind of attitude I like to see in my Liverpool team - go for the jugular and knock the opposition over with tempo and attack. I think Rafa pretty much put out his strongest team last night - maybe with the exception of Agger.


Just hope they show a bit of bottle on Saturday and take the game to United - if they try to just contain United then they could be blown away. Fingers crossed they play with courage at OT... and of course the Referee is not as bent as a butcher's hook ;-)

      Holland & Barrett is coming to Lordship Lane

      By jazzer · Posted

      Time will tell if H&B are loved or loathed, the footfall they get and generate will determine if they stay or go. That's the nature of businesses, they come and go dependant on usage. Examples are M&S, Poundland Local, Co-op, Superdrug, Mons, the chain restaurant/takeaways, the chain Estate Agents, Toolstation, Screwfix to name a few.  As much as people would like to see Lordship Lane remain a high street of independents, it is becoming clear that due to Landlords hiking rents, some are unable to survive. This leaves empty units which some of the chain brands considering it to be worth a "punt". I'd have thought that businesses operating in shops is a better alternative than a high street with multiple empty units, but what do I know, they are just thoughts on the subject.   Take a look at Croydon and Bromley where what were once thriving high streets are in decline.  I have to say that some of the prices charged by the independents are eye watering, and incomes i'd have thought have to be substantial to afford their prices. Personally I'd love a Lidl to open on what was the site of the Harvester, but I guess that would get shouted down, oh the thought of Lidl in Dulwich. Whatever next.

      Holland & Barrett is coming to Lordship Lane

      By Cancerian · Posted

      I don’t know what the shop was originally next to the big St Christopher’s but if Holland and Barrett are taking it over then surely it’s good to have a choice on Lordship Lane? The Camberwell H&B is always empty but the Brixton branch busy.  I remember when the Marks & Spencer food shop was Iceland? Now the M&S is a very busy store and at the time regenerated the high street!

      Nor would I have done, but it came up when I googled John Lewis reviews. Do you not trust TrustPilot reviews? Even allowing for the fact that many people only post reviews when they have had poor service, 27% one star reviews is indicative of something wrong, I would say. That's 27% of 76,392 reviews. That's an awful lot of people who don't  think the service they got from John Lewis was even worth two stars, let alone more. Screenshot attached.
