  1. The umpires in cricket don't seem to mind when they get a decison overturned, they just accept it, probably because it's widely accepted that making those decisions is difficult. The same applies in rugby, but in football it almost seems like a reluctance to admit that the onfield ref has got anything wrong. I read a piece by Keith Hackett who said that Oliver missed the decision last Sunday because he was unsighted. If that were the case then he should say as much to Attwell and ask for his help or even directly say to Attwell that he's going to the screen to look for himself and to get the clips ready for him.
  2. Thing about Bournemouth is they're punching two divisions above their weight. For almost all their existence they've been in the third of fourth tier, so to be spending 6 or so seasons in the top flight is amazing and the people that are behind that have done a great job. Whether they can do a similar job at a big club is a different question.
  3. I can't tell you what Hughes' shoe size is, but I did teach his two younger brothers and they were smashing kids; bright, hard-working and well-behaved without being goody two shoes. If their elder brother is like them then fine. As I recall, the family have some scottish blood in them so I'm sure Kenny will be giving Hughes the benefit of his advice about the Liverpool Way. Forest's whining reminded me of a game against West Brom in the season they got up when they benefitted from a terrible decision when a throw to West Brom was actually taken by them and they ended up getting a corner, from which they scored. There was uproar but the Forest line after was that West Brom had the chance to set up properly for the corner, didn't and had only themselves to blame. Does that sound familiar?
  4. Forest have a nerve to be omplaining about officiating. The only reason they're in the PL is that Mike Riley gave his mate, fat, useless Jon Moss the play-off final as a retirement present. Moss denied Huddersfield two penalties, one an absolute stonewaller and Forest scraped a 1-0 win. I don't understand the view that Forest are a 'big team'; they had a good spell under Clough but otherwise it's a story of consistent mediocrity with the exception of one FA cup win when they triumphed over mighty Luton. I'm glad you called Yates out. He's a championship level clogger at best. It says something for Forest's recruitment that despite all the players they've brought in, he's still getting a game. You should also add him to your list of those with punchable faces. It winds me up just looking at him.
  5. Not the usual stuff on here but definitely relevant.
  6. We were heavily linked with him when he was on loan at Huddersfield when Wagner was there. When he got into the Leicester team I always thought there were weaknesses that we exploited, eithe building up down his side or crosses from the left when he wasn't defending the back post properly. What did Chelsea pay for him? £50m? Ridiculous even by their standards. As for Neville, we all know that the teams he really hates are us and City. He reserves his deepest contempt for teams that play poorly against us, so he sees Chelsea as Liverpool enablers.
  7. Nice to see you slag off Neville's credentials as a pundit, and how (even more) stupid he must look after Saturday but I was surprised you didn't burnish your own credentials after your forecasts about the demise of Mick Beale at Sunderland were proved to be spot on. Stil in the championship, your old mate Jon Walters has become technical director at Stoke. After one game they've dropped into the relegation zone. Long may they stay there.
  8. The Erie canal. I really liked the Sessions Band, both album and tour.
  9. Chuck Berry's 'The Promised Land' is full of references to Greyhound buses, trains through Mississippi and Jets to California.
  10. I was lucky enough to see Keegan's first game for us against Forest at Anfield when he scored in the first 10 minutes. I still think he's probably the most transformative signing in my time watching. The previous season we'd scored 42 goals in 42 games and were never in contention for the league. His first season we scored 64 times and missed out on the title by one point. The following season we won it, our first title for 7 years. Like others, I was devastated when he left, but we got a huge sum of money for him and spent only two-thirds of it on the King.
  11. I quite like Bill Leslie and Rob Hawthorne and wonder why, when they were already at Sky, they got passed over and an outsider brought in. If it was me I'd be most unhappy.
  12. Dreadful news. Some have compared it to Kenny leaving , but for me this reminded me of Shankly retiring just after he'd won the cup for the second time and been champions the season before. I was as devastated then as I am now. We got over the loss of Shankly brilliantly and I fervently hope we can do the same with Klopp, but it's a difficult trick to pull off twice and these are very different times.
  13. Everton seem to be suggesting that their problems lie more in the funding of the new stadium and they should be excused as such. If you live in a ramshackle wooden shack and don't have a pot to piss in, how is it either credible or creditable to announce that you've decided to build a 6 bedroom mansion ?
