  1. Superb write-up, that one. At least three parts where I laughed out loud.
  2. Which Liverpool goal did you celebrate the most and maddest, that ultimately didn't matter? (Confined to the result of one game - so Lovren v Dortmund wouldn't count.)
  3. It was Elliott - first game back from injury. Only reason I know this is because it's the only game my daughter's been to, and the first game my wife's been to since the West Ham debacle in the dying days of Rodgers. Fucking hell, she's lucky she ever got another ticket after that.
  4. Great stuff, Dave. I think I've won this week's deliberate error spotting: Diaz's debut was against Cardiff.
  5. All good stuff, and I agree fully with the general sentiment about Henderson. It's a baffling decision he's taken. The more I think about it, the more it strikes me that he's the Jaime Lannister of Liverpool. Someone whose character arc was perfectly written and excecuted: he overcame adversity and a whole load of sneering to become - as Tywin wanted of Jaime - the man he was always meant to be. Then he completely fucks it up with a nonsensical change in direction that goes against everything he'd seemingly built himself to become.
  6. Drama all subjective obviously, but, yeah, I couldn't disagree more.
  7. Agree with the most recent comments. Behind The Wire, it's well-and-truly ensconced now in my second best of all-time (and I actually think it ended stronger than The Wire did). Absolutely gutted it's finished, but ended at the perfect time. I've not anticipated a series like that - watching live with a week in between each episode - since Game of Thrones. Safe to say, I feel a lot more satisfied with the way this ended. Cunt is as cunt does. Superlative TV.
  8. Felt like this week's needed to be a great one, and it didn't disappoint. Apart from THE big one of the series, this week's was the best of Season 4 yet. Highlights were Connor's reaction to his 1% leverage, and of course Tom and Shiv on the balcony. Scenes like that are the perfect riposte to anyone who thinks this show errs, first and foremost, on the side of comedy.
  9. Another great pod. Dave's defence of Arsenal reminds me of Rawls with McNulty after Kima got shot: "You, Arsenal, are a gaping arsehole. We both know this. But fuck if I'm gonna stand here and say you did a single thing to bottle the Premier League title. And the motherfucker saying this... he hates your guts, Arsenal."
  10. I'm not sure about booing/whistling/jeering Suarez, but not for sentimental reasons. Mainly because he fucking loves it; he gets off on that sort of treatment. Inject it into his veins, as he'd say, if he were on Twitter. He's a natural fighter, and a fighter only gets more scrappy when the odds are against him. That sort of treatment will work with someone like Sterling, but for Suarez it'll act as an adrenaline rush. Let the players rile him; we should treat him as an irrelevance. That angers fighters more than anything.
  11. Cheers for all responses so far. Really appreciate it. Anyone else who hasn't answered, please feel free to do so.
  12. Hi all, I’ve posted this type of thing on the forum before, and you’ve always been a massive help. I’m hoping the same will happen this time. I’m hosting a Family Fortunes quiz for an upcoming get-together, and hoping to source all the responses myself (“We asked 100 people to name...” etc). Yes, I'm being that guy. With that in mind, if anyone's got a quick couple of minutes to answer the questions below – or know of any family member who's also got a couple of minutes - that'd be ace. And while I appreciate the temptation to give funny responses – I’d be exactly the same – please try and keep it semi-serious and give the first answer that comes to mind for each one (and if that happens to be a funny answer, so be it!). Many thanks in advance to anyone who answers these. I do appreciate it, and I look forward to reading the responses. -- 1) Name a recreational activity traditionally done in hot weather 2) Name something people are often chased by in movies 3) Name something people buy to show they’re successful 4) Name something you would hate to find under your bed 5) Name something you wouldn’t want to happen while giving a speech 6) Name a nocturnal animal 7) Name something you might eat with a hamburger 8) Name a liquid in your kitchen that you hope no-one accidentally drinks 9) Name a type of gun that doesn’t shoot bullets 10) Name a place where people have to use coins
  13. Cracking read, as always. "Camp Not." Even more enjoyable than your Solange typo a few weeks ago.
  14. I think the 5th was easily the weakest so far.
