I suspect their need to beat Everton and qualify for a Cup Final would have outweighed their desire not to play on a Hillsborough anniversary - but I could be wrong. We will never know anyway.
Liverpool of course have the right not to play on a particular day - however if their semi final had been on the Sunday - I suspect they would have turned up.
Except the offer is from the Motor Insurance Bureau who are NOT an insurance company but are an organisation set up to compensate those hit by uninsured drivers and hit and runs. They are funded by a levy taken from normal motor insurance companies (and in effect us through out motor insurance...
My view yesterday was that Barnes was generally poor and Poyet agreed (he said post match that he was going to take him off before he scored.)
Having said that, I think Barnes is a good stiker. He strikes the ball well, is reasonable in the air and finds space in the box. His two goals...
The Australian Doors were one of the best gigs I ever went to. Sadly they gave up about 20 years ago. They were not really lookalikeees but the sound was perfect (given that I had never seen the real Doors).
I think the last manager to leave the Albion and go on to clearly have greater success as a manager was Brian Clough and that was 21 managers ago. In fact I think he was probably the only manager to do this in the clubs history. Lets hope that Gus is sensible enough to realise that football...
For what its worth - (probably not much) i have been told by a rubbish source that Lee Clarke will be appointed. Was told at 6.00 tonight and had a small bet. Now note that betting has been suspended on Bet365.
Yes, also have this problem. Letter with tickets says that due to a "processing error" your tickets have been issued in a lower category to the one originally opted for. Refund (which I am not bothered about) has gone onto smartcard. However - surely should have gone back on credit card. Will...
Funnily enough i remember seeing the Pixies at Crystal Palace bowl and in this song (Where is my mind) there is the lyric - Way out in the water, see it swimming - at which point several people dived in the lake which separated the band form the audience. Only one made it across - and then made...
Good programme - if you were looking for a publicity vehicle for Amal Fashanu. Obviously her fashion career is failing and she wanted topic to kick start her media career. Most of this was stage managed sentimentality. How is it possible for me to know more about how John's dislike of Justin...
I watched it today and it took me back to my childhood in the 1970's - when telly was shit and after Why Don't You finished we only had Champion the Wonder Horse to watch. Sadly this pile of crap was sub champion the wonder horse - and probably cost a zillion more make. In fact - for all those...
Last season Barnes was playing up front with Murray. This season Barnes is playing left inside forward with CMS (who wins nothing up front). He is short in confidence. He looks crap to us.
CMS is a good player and should be a starter for us - but - i get frustrated by people who equate chasing down every ball as being a positive thing. If we want to play that way - then everyone needs to press like CMS or else the oppo pass the ball to someone not under pressure. CMS would be...
