Liverpool V's Chelsea...

[dwez]

... at home = leaving for practice early to beat the traffic. Damn you mid-week fixtures.

I shall try the Knowsley Expressway followed by the A561 as the end of the
M62 will be like a car park. I'll leave experimenting with Menlove Avenue/Queens Drive, it's not my bag ;)

[JoDuncan]

Why does Liverpool V own a Chelsea?

Oh wait... football is it??

Piiiiiiiiiish ;)

[Hisham]

I think Liverpool will prevail unless Chelsea plays as good as it played when Mourinho and Grant were at its helm.

[Mr Softee]

As an Everton fan my dream result would be if both teams realize that they are crap and quit football.
F.U. Liverpool and Chelsea.

[dwez]

As an Everton fan

You have my sympathies, I can say that because back in the day I too was a Toffee Man. Nowadays I just like to watch the goal highlights from any match so long as it's edited to a tune currently in the hit parade.

Otherwise their exertions in the vicinity of my dojo make it a nightmare to get to practice.

[Mr Softee]

Once a Toffee, always a Toffee.

You practice at the Liverpool dojo? I was actually planning on visiting that dojo next time I was in England!

[dwez]

Indeed I do. We're a happy-go-lucky bunch and a few of us are regularly visiting our North-West dojo neghbours. Bolton (http://www.kendobolton.co.uk/), Preston (http://kendopreston.com/)[although it's on the same night], Oldham (http://www.oldhamkendo.co.uk), South Manchester (http://www.kobudokan.co.uk) and Bramhall, not to mention our fortnightly kata sessions in Crosby. You can practice nearly every day in the NW thanks to the glories of the motorway network and fossil fuels. That's quite difficult, I think, outside of the capital although it seems you could practice 5 nights a week in Aberdeen, I may retires there ;)

You're more than welcome to visit if your ever over here.

Bitterness is strong with this one :D
Joking asside, you have to give credit where it's due, i like how Liverpool got there groove back after beating Real Madrid eventhough i'm a ManU fan(not a fanatic), Porto deserved to win yesterday if it wasn't for some lucky breaks that saved the face of the hosting team.

[dwez]

I like how the fact they were saying on the radio it will take a miracle for Liverpool to come back from their defeat in the re-match. Surely they only have to do exactly what Chelsea did, which wasn't a miracle it was just football.

Still I avoided the traffic which was the important thing. I also found out Sensei has a season ticket, but he was there last night taking practice not at the match. That's dedication in my book.

True. Anyway it was a better match compared to the Barca/Munich one.

[dwez]

I can't believe you used the phrase "hit parade". You're over 40, aren't you?

No, I'm 34. It's the hit parade and you know it. I've heard all types of popular music on the wireless, from the 'rap' to 'hip and hop', to 'drum' and of course 'bass'. These kids today have a wide selection music to entertain, with wonderful melodies and rhythm. I'm a hep-kat daddy-o and down with the youth.

[satsumaruma]

Do you use the phrase 'popular beat combo'

Betcha do, betcha do!


Anyhoo, Liverpool got stuffed by Chesea and my not scouse son is gutted.

Going to bait him again....back in a mo...


"oi.......son.....you know how things are cheap in Liverpool."
..."sh'rup"
" well now, if you buy the whole team you can get one three"

"I'm gonna kill you dad"



Ah the joys of being a parent and tormenting your kids.

[dwez]

Betcha do, betcha do!


I have indeed referred to my favorite band Pitchshifter as a 'popular beat combo', seriously! Of course that in no way reflects the 'bubble-gum pop sounds' they perform.

[Hisham]

Well Well, Chelsea has done it, what a great match it was, really high level football, i believe that the fans of both football teams had a good time but as always there has to be a winner and a loser. The other remaining teams should play the same way, giving your all with style.
Porto vs ManU could be another great match if ManU wakes up that is.

[dwez]

I gave a clap when they scored the first one, the wife goes who scored? I said Liverpool she asked why I was clapping [what with her being a Toffee-lady and all] and I said because it was more exciting. As I said I've no real allegiance so I hoped they would come back and prove that a 'miracle' was not needed, especially from the team with the highest goal scoring record. But failing at the last was still no tragedy. Sadly I nipped downstairs at half time [for half an orange] and was back up after the 2 Chelsea goals so it was a bit of excitement missed.

Still the winners on the night - the spectators. that must be the second match I've seen in a month. I will be buying replica t-shirts, always have a pint in hand and know a 'terrace chant' soon. Must. Take. Up. Train. Spotting...

[Hisham]

Still the winners on the night - the spectators.

Indeed, watching a match like that aspecially at the stadium's gotta be worth the money.

[Mr Softee]

That was a great match.
If Gerrard was fit I think Liverpool would have won it.





I'm glad he was hurt :)

[Hisham]

I'm glad he was hurt :)

Ah come on man, that's a bit harsh. hehehe

[Mr Softee]

Steven Gerrard is my second most hated footballer.
Is he world class, yes.
Is he an amazing player, yes.
Has he repeatedly stomped, fouled and gotten away with tons of crap against my Everton lads, yes.

The jury has ruled he must be punished!

[dwez]

Steven Gerrard is my second most hated footballer.


My guess for the first most hated footballer - he's Portugese, plays for Man United and has his own facebook gorup about him being twit [spelt with an 'A'].

[Hisham]

The fact that he's not playing for Liverpool might spare him the first place in Mr Softee's "most hated" list.

[Mr Softee]

Dwez wins the prize.

Yes Ron-a-hole is my most hated footballer.
