  1. Laurence Fox public endorsement and appropriation into the culture war incoming in ... 3 .... 2 ....
  2. Yes, I hear that. I wouldn't sing either, obviously, as I am in my 50s, and it seems to be young lads who sing it mostly. But I do get the Maggie one. The voiceless having a voice and all that. But it's kind of passed, I think. The Lizzie one doesn't make sense to me. I always prefer pro-Liverpool than anti-whatever, anyway.
  3. Liverpool jeer the national anthem because its emblematic of the Establishment and class structure. I love it. It was the Establishment which shafted the fans through corruption and deceit. All overseen by the then Prime Minister, Maggie Thatcher. She had long established a culture whereby any attack on the working class, especially northern working class, was fair game - the recasting of the working class from salt of the earth to scum of the earth. And she openly despised Liverpool, the hotbed of anti-Tory sentiment, and resistance. When she died, it was natural that the people whose lives she ruined would have their voice heard. The days of silent obedience are well over, and the once-silenced ensured that the Wicked Witch is Dead song got to number one and it was fantastic. It was right. And when we play in Tory heartlands, and hear anti-Liverpool songs, it is understandable that Maggie's in a Box gets a defiant airing. The queen is most certainly part of the Establishment, and there is a clear correlation between Conservatism and support for the monarchy. But to be honest, I just don't go along with the Lizzie's in a Box chants. They are rich, and privileged, and I am totally against the idea of supporting a monarchical structure, but I just don't see the logic of celebrating her death. Thatcher literally destroyed people's lives. I don't think it reflects well on us. The Maggie one, however unpalatable some might find it, I will get behind and justify all day long. [awaits being called a Tory]
  4. Leslie Ash used to be the woman every boy wanted to meet in an alleyway. Now she's the woman nobody wants to meet in a dark alleyway.
  5. Great listen as always. Just two things struck me. With regards to the Notts Forest fans moaning, emboldened and feeling fully validated by the oversimplified analysis on Match of the Day. By saying that if the drop ball had have gone to Forest, the game would have had a totally different outcome, they're in the realm of chaos theory. Ergo, because the exact same thing happened to us earlier in the half, we can argue that we in fact won that game 0-3. If a butterfly flaps its wings... The second point was the fact that Jules stated that he thought Bradley played well. I'm not knocking the young lad, and love him as much as anybody, but I was really surprised. He needed to go on the outside, but he did it so infrequently, it was striking. Maybe after that electric start, Klopp wants him to play in a more measured way, but he looked for the inside simple ball consistently. Hopefully he can mix it up more for the City game. Finally, I didn't miss Dave pointing out to John that he always knows a great striker when he sees one. Subtle, Dave, subtle!
  6. Neither tussle was a penalty - even stevens. Earlier in the second half we had the ball when the ref stopped play for a Forest head injury - which wasn't. Play starts with Forest with the ball. I was fuming. So, yes, even stevens on both counts. They can't ignore one and cry about the other. And they lost 0-1.
  7. There's only one Red-lewie! One Red-lewie! Walking along, singing a song Walking in a Redlewie wonderland! Barmy army! Barmy army!
  8. I think Thomas Frank and Roberto De Zerbi should be judged on a game by game basis. That is, if their current team wins this week, they are both in contention. But if their team has a bad result, the job is too big for them. And so on and so forth until Alonso is appointed.
  9. Virgin Dance, number 52 on the list were a Skem band who were decent live. Saw them a few times. They brought out an album called Against the Tide in which the songs were rearranged and spoiled imo, far too soft. The drummer, Cliff Hewitt was in a band called Modern Eon before Virgin Dance and they were pretty good. I heard he's gone on to work with the likes of Apollo 440, Jean Michel Jarre and Tangerine Dream since. The singer, Edwin Hind went on to form another band called Picnic at the Whitehouse and went on to star in a Coca Cola advert circa 1988/90. Now on with the countdown...
  10. It's Churchill's Bar. You know it and I know it.
  11. I am hoping that this is going to be an hour of tantric chanting over the top of birdsong, with a calming voice telling me to breathe and that everything is going to be alright. It's my only hope...
  12. In a perfect encapsulation of the tail-end of Hendo's Liverpool career, here is the photo the BBC chose to go with in their coverage of his first Ajax game. Hendo in action for Ajax... Hahaha. Bless him - I did love him for a good spell back there. But sometimes you just can't see the wood for the trees. Our current midfield is so dynamic.
