    If a kid is savvy enough to get a ticket and go to Glastonbury I’m pretty sure they know what a Tory is, or at least the vast majority. 

     

    Glastonbury has been shitmuncher central for ten years at least.

     

    Good on them but unless it helps in even some small way to effect change it's just samehead sloganeering.

    Ever see a grown man block a road, because someone beat his side.

     

    Ever seen a directors staying home, over threats of homicide. 

     

    So what becomes of you you twat? When they have finally stripped you of the headlocks and the roadblocks that your grand old team had to sweat to buy you, baby.

    Where was the local media while all this was going on? 

     

    Under-resourced, underpaid and under editorial leadership with no appetite for scrutiny? Those daily 20 Things You Will Not Believe Scousers Say Outside Greggs don't write themselves.

     

    Having been on the fringes of that scene for a couple of years in the mid-00s, I just witnessed burnt-out career journalists planning their exit strategies and eager, generally out-of-town, graduates who were willing to churn out any old shit for Trinity until London called.

     

    Not to disparage him personally, but it says it all that the Echo's current political editor's most notable contribution to the Fifth Estate is a story about him being 6.2cm tall. I think he won an award for it.

  4. There were plenty of Merseyside's Finest at the FA Cup semi in 2012 when a kettled swarm of Bitters were doing exactly what the OP describes outside Wembley Central.

     

    I wouldn't go as far as to say they were enjoying it, but the smug grins and Cheshire accents did make me reflect on the defects in character that would compel a person to become one of 'those people'.

     

    Police officers: born, not made

  5. Henderson doesn't take penalties though. And that team at the time wasn't full of men and winners. It was our first trophy in six years with players who had never won anything.

     

    Fowler had a league cup medal from 95; Babbel had won Bundesliga titles and the UEFA Cup (Didi the same); Smicer won the league with Lens; Ziege had titles from all over Europe; Gary Mac had won the league with Leeds.

     

    Sami, Gerrard, Carra: Had won nothing up to that point but leaders all three.

  6. If you're not good at them you don't take them regardless of whether you're captain. It doesn't work like that.

     

    Who says he's not good at penalties? He is captain and central midfield player and should therefore possess the requisite stones and technique.

     

    He 'fought' to take this one, for example:
