The definition of "glory" seems to have been somewhat devalued. Another 1-0 to the mighty Pool...
Dude, chill out, and try not to suffer that trademark humourless Scouse word-blindness over phrases like "clearly the better team". You won, deservedly. Why always be such a sour-faced grump about it?
Not grumping, but yeah - certainly fizzing a bit. It's just getting a tad... boring, now.
And you're being deliberately obtuse in denying that a Liverpool win over Man Utd in any circumstance is a glorious occasion.
Faint praise duly banked, naturally.
And sheesh. We've got a Scottish fella accusing a Scouser of trademark humourlessness. Truly the world turned upside down...

My preferred English teams have always been Chelsea and whoever Harry Redknapp happens to be managing (so yes, I made the jump from Portsmouth to Southampton and back as well )
Now that's enough Premiership talk - lets focus on Rangers beating Villareal on Wednesday

Didn't even know Spurs were still in it. Cutting it fine, ain't ya? Isn't it about time you limped out of all cup competitions to focus on consolidating that patented Whitehart Lane mid-table mediocrity?

Only premiership fixture of the weekend actually - but you knew that...
Anything that anyone can say against the mighty Spurs just rolls off me at the moment. Frankly to be even within a chance of a champions league place is way beyond what i'm used to in my lifetime as far as Spurs are concerned.
So yes, you can have 3rd place young man - but i'd LOVE it. I'd LOVE it if we finished above the arse.
Oh absolutely, there certainly wasn't anything different about the team.
But you often see this when a manager goes. Look at Souness leaving Newcastle.
All sorts of reasons for it, could be the players knowing they need to impress the new guy, could be that they didn't respect the previous boss and weren't motivated to play for him.
You'd think playing for a club with a big history and earning a pretty decent wage would be motivation enough...
