Absolute tourist trap though, only scousers I heard all day were the stewards. I’ve not experienced such a lack of atmosphere since I nearly drowned in Queenstown years ago. Made the Etihad feel like Galatasaray. Not since Wetherspoons built an empire has a beautiful building been so full of cheap tat and lost souls.
Salah is absolute class and I guess it’s a privilege to see him at work scoring like that, but today was a hiding to nothing. Morsy looked like he was a touch too many off the level unfortunately. No shame when these lot are being handed the title and can produce stuff at a canter like that. Slot is a very good manager.
Our goal was obviously a moment. Loved how Enciso demanded the ball off Phillips and hit a scud missile into the box. We are going to hurt teams with him and philogene adding to what we’ve got. People filming and joining in with their show tune dirge were astounding. In exactly the opposite way to the rest of the away end. Absolute brilliant gallows humour, defiance and limbs.
Think we might not see Burns again. He went down in front of us and it sounded worse than it looked. All about the oxygen now. |  |

That’s a very low bar. Not sure there’s any cities in the north of England that sent absolutely horrendous tbh. Edinburgh is good, but obvs that’s in Scotland… name me a decent city north of Watford! |

Liverpool is a good city, much better than some around (Birmingham, Leeds to name two). |
Hull. Hambo will back me on this. |  |

Hmmm. Ok, whatever you say, pal. Oxford and Cambridge, sure thing. The rest of these places are so small they don’t really count, or are absolute dumps. | | | |

Ok! 😂
Low standards, I guess.
No problem.
Been to 4 of those, I’ll never go back to any of them
Went to uni in the north of U.K.
Visited a few buddies up there
Unless to visit friends, I’d never go back

The usual criterion for a city in early modern Britain was the presence of a cathedral. | | | |

That's a bit underhand. The tax payers are already keeping the pubs open and now having to pay extra again. World's gone mad. |
The beer is still very cheap by Norwegian standards. |  | | |

Of course not. Most of urban U.K. is a bit of a dump tbh. Some nice bits in London, Bristol, Brighton, Cambridge, Bath, Oxford etc. the rest of the urban centres not really of interest imho. I get what you’re saying about Durham, but it’s so small it’s not really urban. And the weather is awful | | | |

Northern. Dark. Dank. Depressing. Full of chains on the high street. Wetherspoons. Smells of despair and urine | | | |

No real need to ask what any town or city is like in the U.K. with the exception of some nice spots in the Home Counties, 98pc are the same. And very depressing!!! | | | |

“I’d never go back”
Thank heavens for that.
Speaking as someone who lived in the wonderful city of Leeds for over 20 years, and happily still live within striking distance of it. |  |

Thats enough about the state of your living room - or was it a metaphor of your internet browsing history? I’m simply after an understanding of what that city is like to visit. | | | |

Maybe if you truly find most places to be depressing then maybe it’s you who has a problem. Are you a lonely miserable person who has failed in life? | | | |

Small but quite attractive. Cathedral roof is astonishingly beautiful, and the pipes of its organ on display as you enter and exit are just astonishing. | |

Thanks for that - we’re trying to go away for more weekends away this year and Carlisle is one of those places I’d never think of going to. Will put it on the list. | | | |

Well I suppose for anyone who was too small-minded to explore any of its amazing variety of music, festivals, art, theatre, shops, pubs, incredibly beautiful countryside on the doorstep; or to talk to any of its lovely, warm hearted people, it might superficially appear like it did to you. | |
