Toxteth O'Grady

Spot on, it's not today;s performance that will be a will he stay or will he go pivotal decision for the manager, he was lobbed in a starter because we had a chance to give Gravenberch, Mac and Dom a rest. It was a nothing game for us. Would we prefer to have won it? Yes, clearly and when the first team players came on around 60 minutes we looked much better. Are we bothered that we lost and got no injuries and gave a few players a run out? No. As a kid I loved Joey Jones, he played in the first match I went to at Anfield, remember being made up when I got his sticker my Panini album, but for all his endeavour and love of the club, he wasn't good enough and he got moved on. I remember seeing Avi Cohen and he was all action and not good enough either. Harvey loves us, we love him, he's not good enough to be a starter in any position, he either stays to be a 20 minutes a game fill in for 2 seasons until the manager shapes the squad in his own image, or better all round, he goes in the summer for a good few quid with a proper medal and plays every week at a club like Bournemouth. Brighton or Fulham.

To be only 11-6 down after the way things have gone today is a miracle for Williams.

That's a crippler for Williams. a chance of 10-7, best he can do is 11-6. This lad Zhao is fearless.

9-5 now. For me, snooker isn't really a partisan sport, John Higgins is my main fella, but when it comes to the World Championship, I just want it to be going into Bank Holiday Monday as a competitive thing. Monday at The Crucible with a close final is a national treasure. If Williams get's out of today at no worse than 10-6, then tomorrow is still a Crucible Monday.

"Tellin' yer lad Patsy van der Owwww super Narco'd me, sezz if you don;t hear the judge then it;s jarg lad and they let you on Monday, mint and gold lad"

I suspect that they'll follow the current code of 'omerta' which has been distorted to such an extent that, if you don't come back upstairs to face sentencing from the Judge, it hasn't happened, it isn't real and all your anti-social acolytes can stand outside the court somehow believing that behaving as badly as you, in your defence will somehow make it all seem like a blag verdict and a miscarriage of justice all in one. Just get collared at the scene, with the weapon, loads of forensics, 326 eyewitnesses but as long as you refuse to hear the sentence, none of it is real and you're innocent. "Weren't me lad, didn't even see or hear the judge which basically means I'm innocent and me scruffy scrubber outside in pink leggings showing her arse crack to the BBC only goes to prove it even more"

@dave u "I sympathise with you mate, I really do, but the lot isn't worth more than a quid, scrap value and I'd be cutting me own throat at that" @Arnaud"but I paid 2.50 a pop for these and you said they'd be collectors items in years to come and only increase in value" @dave u"them's the risks mate, this is the hard streets of Melling son, not fucking namby pamby France. sorry"

I'm showing my age because I remember when Chuck Hull was the ring announcer and he was excellent but understated. I'm also showing my age because I want to shoot this current cunt doing the same job.

That's why you're known as 'little pips"

McKenna has done a job on Smith there.
