    Nah.

     

    Part II is perfection. Part I has the missed punch from Sonny, which should never have made the cut, other than that, it is also perfection.

    Don't forget the unconscious Don Corleone suddenly pulling his hand away from a door jamb as Michael moves the bed during the hospital scene. Still take first film over the second; time shifts and the obviously plastic gold phone wrecked Godfather 2 - even though I still found it quite brilliant . Still think the production should have shelled out for a real gold phone.  

  2. Alisson's fuck ups cost us the game, poor as we played. Arsenal are nothing to fear for either us or the Oilers and their ordinariness was being managed until God's goalie went fucking mental. The league is still ours to lose ..... and we won't do that. For the guys on their periods, soak it up.

  3. So many people must have read that bit where he states quite categorically that he will leave Liverpool as soon as Klopp departs - and take  every other player with him. I haven't actually read such a statement, but it must be fact. Judging by the tsunami of virgin piss gushing from a lot of online supporters big Virgil has obviously packed his bags. Can't wait for the 'Connor Bradley eyes move abroad because of mentor's departure' headline in the coming weeks.

    We are not good enough to compete with city's squad, call it defeatist if you want, but we've all seen this play before. We fight like fuck until the last day, then City win the title.

    That's the spirit.

  5. In his first press conference as our manager he was asked if Liverpool was the biggest club he had ever managed. He paused before saying that he didn't want to upset anyone in Milan. Before that I was livid that he had been appointed, after that I couldn't look at the cunt. I hated him then but, after looking at his fraill, rheumy eyed, saggy old man's face on the touchline yesterday - looking alternatively baffled and amused by what he was watching - I realised that I still hated the cunt.

    Fucking hell! The attack on the flatbed lorry carrying people fleeing Northern Gaza is sickening. Just kids killed in cold blood for the sake of revenge. It's so bad. It's making me angry now. To think that there's people who support this - even in our very community. I just can't fathom.

     

     

    And watch the IDF blame this attack on Hamas - just like when they bomb schools and hospitals because, they say, Hamas are storing weapons there. And our media never question the Israeli account of events. If I said why I thought that was the case the antisemitism accusations would follow.

  7. Any extended ban would be seen by some as further evidence of a bias against Liverpool by the authorities. In my opinion Van Dijk exercised tremendous self control under the circumstances and even the single game ban is extreme. Our captain may well pick up a big fine. Anyone criticising Van Dijk for an angry reaction have either never played the game or are just being mischieviously obtuse.

  8. Last night the same source stated that the player had agreed to join Liverpool. If this has some truth to it then Liverpool should take him through every legal and footballing arbitration process until he sees the light and sticks to his word. If he refuses to honour his agreement then he shoould be forced to read every post in the Liverpool Way transfer threads, then he'll realise the psychopathic rage he has engendered. 

  9. Pre-season friendly in a land where the offside rule is only appiled sporadically, some casual stuff against a team who decided it was a CL Final, missed chances at both ends, brilliance and bullshit from both teams and Doak looking quite good. Can't be too concerned or enthused by any of it. Wait for the real stuff to start and then, depending on how you're predisposed, be enthralled or just be a whining shitbag.

    I've read up a little on this. It was a play written by Jim Allen called Perdition and was based on a libel trial in the mid-50's in Israel brought by somebody who had been accused of collaborating with the Nazis to save certain Jews whilst allowing others to go to the gas chambers (apparently the guy accusedof collaborating was assassinated!).

     

    I must be honest that Jim Allen and Ken Loach certainly let themselves and their supporters down at that time by the words they used in defence of this play when ot was cancelled prior to opening. They should have and should still be in Loach's case, above that type of shit.

     

    It was interesting to note that a rewritten version of the same play was produced in 1999 by Ken Loach's son in law who happens to be Jewish.

     

    The story behind the libel trial itself actually sounds very interesting. I may read up more on that.

     

     

     

    This Israeli examination of the trial is available on You Tube. I have a copy of 'Perdition' by Jim Allen. If it has a fault it's that it is quite meticulous and tough going for a casual audience. Kastner is a controversial figure for both Zionists and non-Zionists to assess - he saved the lives of many Jews but but, it is argued, by assisting, the Nazis. Allen's play questioned if Kastner - described by Eichmann as a 'fanatical Zionist' who he actually admired - selected only Jews who shared his poltical viewpoint.  The enforced censoring of Perdition represents a very dark time for freedom of expression in British culture and is worthy of further examination.

    Same for the CL only Guardiola has massively underachieved for years.

     

    That will be forgotten.

     

     

    Not by us. Though the media may be blind to such a glaring failure, given the advantage of unbridled wealth at his disposal, most of the football fan base can clearly see that gap in Guardilola's and City's recent achievements. Maybe that gap will be filled in the near future, but it would just be a further case of mammon triumphalism, which, paradoxically, would cheapen such an achievement. As Oscar Wilde said, "Fuck 'em!". Not sure he was talking about City but, anyway, fuck 'em.  

  12. Good to see that City fans celebrate winning the Premier League like Evertonians rejoice at avoiding relegation - with the pitch invasion. Yet the outpouring of Bitter relief at again avoiding the 'drop' is  completely natural compared to the invention of joy at winning a competition that City's finances should always ensure. 

     

    In the immortal words of Oscar Wilde: "Cunts! The fucking lot of them. Cunts!"

  13. The Champions League semi finals are similar to something like the semi finals of the League Cup. Dispassionate, deadly dull and of interest only to the final competitors. Middlesbrough v Coventry has more of a football feel to it.

    5 Live phone in about relegation. Everton fan on to discuss it. Ignores relegation and goes on about all LFC fans are out of towners and 60% of the city support Everton. Bonkers.

     

    Sarah, the woman who made this claim, has now accepted the truth of statistics suggesting Liverpool fans outnumber their city rivals by 2/1. She then said she based her claim on what 'cabbies' have told her. Hack facts or private hire liar, all solid sources.

    Looked like some sort of gym monkey who tones up to impress the guys. Andy must have smudged his spray tan. The prick needs a lengthy ban for that his actions. These officials are starting to believe that they are actually of some importance to the game. They are lower than vermin.
