    Sorry - I know it is not the vogue to be nice to UKIP but I thought the guy in the audience was himself a bombastic tosser. He rants on about McCarthyism and Rivers Of Blood and then links to elections held in a climate of fear. He then stated that these are things that have driven Europe to war........ Both of these first two happened after WWII ended and while I detect disillusion, apathy and antipathy towards the political process in this country - I certainly don't recognise his "climate of fear". The guy was a fucking Grade A gobshite.

    Totally agree. About Henderson that is. Mrs Razor wouldn't like it if I did the other things. If we want to get all stato - goals conceded with Henderson in the team 42 in 34 games (1.2 per game) - goals conceded without Henderson in the team 7 in 3 games (2.3 per game) QED. I rest my case. He has been a tremendous miss since the City game and Lucas has not been adequate cover. It has been a fantastic season and I think we will do even better in the next. 34 points from 13 games is the standard now. The encouraging thing for me is that we have got better and better throughout the season. BR tinkered around with his three at the back and whatever early on but the real breakthrough came in the Tottenham game. We are a much better side than the one that started this campaign. Three quality additions and I reckon we are good to go for next year. I'm not going to build up my hopes for the CL as BR has no experience so will have to go through a steep learning curve again. I will be made up if we make it out of the group stage but will not be critical if we don't.

    A 100% pay rise? To enhance his personal profile? Free seat at any PL fixture he fancies? So that he can pull better looking birds? (or at least one's that don't have a cock) I think Rodgers may be a very ambitious man. Whether that ambitiion extends beyond managing LFC only time will tell.
  5. RedRazor
    I want England to do well for three reasons: 1. I am English 2. I hope Gerrard and the rest of the LFC boys have a really good tournament as it will give them confidence for the challenges they will face next season 3. I don't want Woy to get the sack because I am sure the FA would be directing more than a casual glance in the direction of a certain Mr Rodgers. While I don't think he would go (but I'm not certain) we could do without that sort of speculation because it may become a problem in the transfer market while players wait to see if he stays or goes.

    I don't really buy into this. If we played that same back four with a very unambitious midfield five then they would probably keep as many clean sheets as Chelsea. It is easy to focus on our defenders when the real problem is our collective defending. There is a danger that we could spend a huge amount of money on a shiny new back four this summer and still have exactly the same problems. As ever it is a trade off between attacking intent and defensive solidity. My belief is that we don't have too much wrong with the personnel, we just need to adjust that balance. That said, we definitely need a left back and maybe another centre back.

    Sorry but I disagree with everyone who is pointing the finger at Johnson. For the first and third goals I have only one question "Where the fuck was Lucas?" For the first Lucas should have been close to Delaney and stopped him having the time to control the ball and get his shot away. For the third Lucas (or maybe Gerrard) should have been close enough to Murray so that Skrtel didn't need to charge out of the back four to close him down. Easy to just blame the lads in the back four but the real villain for those two goals isn't getting a mention.
  8. RedRazor
    Exact same thought crossed my mind

    I think I'm in shock. I am stunned. I have no more words - 3-0 to 3-3 in 15 minutes wtf. wtf happened no words sorry - goodnight

    We have absolutely nothing to lose here tonight. We must go for it - three points and a big win. At least try and give City something to worry about. It will not be easy but no games ever are in the PL. We have stuffed five and six goals past all sorts this season - including teams with much better managers than Tony Fucking Pulis. If he was as fantastic as everyone is making out he would be managing Inter Milan or Real Madrid. He is an old school footballing dinosaur who will soon be extinct. Fuck him and fuck Palace. Let's fucking smash them. The worst thing that can happen is that we finish third in the league (and I don't think that will happen either) which although will be a disappointing climax to the season still marks a tremendous turnaround and gives us great hope and optimism for next season.

    In order: I'm not sure what point you are trying to make here. This is true of anyone pursuing a career in any industry. So you are suggesting that the likes of Murdoch and the Koch Bros are controlling governments? So what happens when, for the sake of argument, two mighty oil giants are pulling the same government in opposite directions? (for example, one slagging offshore drilling and extraction while advocating fracking, and one doing the exact opposite) However, corporate entities having any influence over governments is not something I am comfortable with either.

    Very true. Clearly there are hidden interests in the way some information is presented. I can imagine the leverage brought to bear on any media outlet that dares to criticise or expose the less savoury behaviour of one of it's large corporate sponsors/customers. However, the thought that all media outlets can be "managed" in this way is too great a step for me to accept. No single entity. corporate or political, has the power to suppress all the information channels. Within those channels that are "directed" it also does not follow that they are all directing information in the same way. Indeed there may well be organisations with diametrically opposed views with equal amounts of influence. I'm not sure I would call this "control" either. I think it is more that they have the power to influence and/or limit rather than control. To create the situation you are suggesting would require the control of all media outlets (newpapers, TV, radio) as well as all social media and the internet. That, I would suggest, is the realm of conspiracy theorists and other assorted nutjobs.

    I don't think we are favourites but no way should we be giving up all hope. Three of City's most influential players - Aguero, Toure and Silva - appear to be struggling for full fitness. If they think it is all over after yesterday it may yet work in our favour. Villa and West Ham are both safe so have no pressure on them. They may just turn up in their beachwear. Or they may turn up with some professional pride, without any real stress and play well. I think City are more than capable of bottling it (but I wouldn't put money on it) so we have to keep going just in case. We just need to focus on Monday night - get three points and improve our goal difference as much as we can. Whatever happens I can't believe that anyone on here would not have snatched your hand off if they were offered this position on the first day of the season. Whatever happens in the next two games cannot distract from the fact that this season has been a hugely positive one. The team have made us dream and believe again.

    I too am a Europhile, I'm just not sure that being outside the EU and being a Europhile are mutually exclusive. If they are then that is a situation being created by the EU (perhaps deliberately?)

    I need to check but I am sure we stopped sending 12 year olds down t'pit before the Treaty of Rome was signed. I disagree with the rest of your post. I don't see the EU affording workers here or anywhere else the protection that your post suggests. Nor do I see the EU as a democratic institution nor is there any guarantee that it's political state will remain just left of centre as it is today. It is just as capable of swinging to either the left or right as the UK. The drive is clearly towards a federal European state. While there are some things within the EU that I like this isn't necesarily one of them. We need to have a clear understanding of what the end game is and then we can make up our minds if we want to be in it. This is not what we signed up for 40 years ago.

    Are there two Churchills? Oh, and nice too see that you hold your fellow Brits in such high regard. By extensions are you suggesting that we should scrap all forms of the democratic process? Or am I reading too much into your comments?
  17. RedRazor
    Exactly how I feel about it. I just hope their heads haven't gone after last week. Gerrard should be over it with his experience but it may hit some of the younger players. As you wrote, we have nothing to lose so let's just give it our best shot and see what happens. I would sooner lose it on goal difference than by a handful of points. And I would be really pleased if we finished above the cockney bastards.

    Who does he play for? I can't find any youtube clips.

    Can't see Everton doing anything more here. They're just going through the motions - almost an end of season exhibition match - without the exhibition of any skill, effort or commitment.

    I haven't yet built up the disdain and contempt that some on here clearly have. They seem very (dangerously?) amatuerish in their approach - and this may be what appeals to a lot of people, Almost as if their naviety adds to their credibilty and appeal. A sort of anti-career politician thing maybe? It would be a typically British electorate thing to do to elect them to lots of seats in a European Parliament that they are commited to undermining. My ambivalence towards them comes from my belief that they will never ever get any real power to wield (so it doesn't matter what their policies are on anything) but they are challenging the cosy tripartitie alliances that currently exist. Hopefully forcing the EU (or should that be the fourth Reich?) issue into the spotlight will give the population of this country the opportunity to engage in a real debate and discussion and make an informed decision about whether or not we want to remain in the club. Personally I have very mixed and conflicting views so if we ever did have a referendum I am not sure which way I would vote.. Maybe the very fact that such a vote was forced in the UK would give those in Brussells reason to take a step back and re-evaluate their approach? Most of the scare stories are exactly that. If we left the EU wouldn't stop selling goods to us (we are a significant net importer from the EU) so it would give us plenty of leverage to negotiate mutually beneficial trading arrangements. It would not be one way traffic as some have suggested. If they get arsey about any part of the relationship then they know we can do the same and be more damaging to them than they are to us.

    I don't want to get into semantics but surely we already have around 50% employment? (or unemployment if you are a glass-half-empty sort of person). The population of the UK is around 60m and there are around 30m people in work. Pensioners, school kids, disabled, non-working spouses/partners etc. who are not looking for work and a small percentage who are (or should be).

    I have heard about their idea for combining tax and NI into a single tax that kicks in at a higher level than they do at present (which I don't have a problem with - their idea to scrap employer NI and recoup it from corporation tax is just a disaster waiting to happen imo) but none of the other things. Do you have any sources for these? It would be interesting reading.

    I think these are the crimes that are easiest to report and record and would guess that these numbers are not that far off. You are right that the police attitude to them has changed over the years but my view is that they have become "administrative" crimes rather than "real" crimes in the eyes of the police. The long suffering Mrs Razor suffered a couple of break-ins at work during April - both properly processed, SOCU attended, crime number issued etc. Nothing was taken and no-one got hurt although they caused hundreds of quids worth of damage and it left her with the feeling that the police just aren't interested in these sort of low level crimes. They have an easy admin process to follow and then they move on to the next thing. She spoke to the bobby who attended and said that she reckoned they knew who was probably responsible and they half heartedly agreed (but wouldn't elaborate - which is just as well as the murder rate in Kirkby would have gone up this year) but it was the whole sausage factory attitude to the process that pissed her off. The second lot were seen running away and described as five little ninjas in black trackies with hoods - clearly kids - but what the fuck were they doing roaming the streets at 1:30 in the morning? Feral little cunts.
