Gutted

soz mate but I disagree. if it was us lot (Liverpool) against Chelski I can guaranetee the blue noses would of supported the southern blerts.

I find too many connections between the Toffees and Man Ushited for me ever support anything about the blue noses.

Lets face it, only the Red Of Liverpool can ever bring success to Merseyside!! (please don't give out my address to the blue noses!!)

Anyone else's enjoyment spoilt by those shadows cast across the pitch at Wembley while watching on Tele, definitely put the sun in the wrong place when they built that stadium. I think its a good case to only have night matches played there.

i agree, although the new wembley is built on the site of the old wembley but it was never that bad before. still perfer the old wembley with its twin towers perhaps they used to block more of the sun out.

That's a very sweeping statement that is not necessarily true! I personally would have been tied as Husband is a Chelsea fan (not nouveau Chelsea, has always been a Chelsea fan) but family are all Reds.

I must admit I did but I still believed up until the final whistle. My boys did me proud!!

The shadows where a bit worse at the old stadium, they ran right down the middle of the pitch. Thought they put quite a bit of cash into trying to predict where the sun might be around cup final day to cut out shadows from the structure.

Didnt work methinks.

isnt there a retracting roof on wembley ?

[edit] Roof

Detail of the arch The new 6,350 tonne roof covers an area of over 45,000 square metres (11 acres), 4 acres (16,000 m2) of which are movable and rise to 52 m (170 ft) above the pitch.[2] With a span of 317 m (1040 ft), the arch is the longest single span roof structure in the world and is 134 m (440 ft) above the level of the external concourse,[18] and is designed not to cast a shadow on the pitch.[25] Contrary to popular belief, the stadium's roof is not fully retractable, meaning it cannot cover the playing surface in inclement weather

Tranmere Rovers have failed to pull themselves together, It must be curtains for John Barnes, Stand by for a big drop.

Sad to see, but at least they can pull their socks up and sort themselves out after Christmas. Thing is, who else do you get as manager, Barnes's tactics obviously don't work so maybe he should change his way of doing things and live in the real world.

Who ever they get can't do much worse, i think his days are numbered.

I'll have to see if my lad will apply, he got turned down for the Dundee Utd job.

Lucky escape for him.
