Against Chelsea I wouldn't give a sh!t, I'd just watch as a neutral. Against Barca, I'd honestly be a bit torn. Yes Man U are Liverpool's biggest rivals, but why more so than anyone else? For scousers and mancs, it's obvious local rivalry, but for a supporter from London, or indeed Wales, why should it be such a big thing? Having lived in Liverpool, yes I feel a bit more competetive towards Man U than most teams, but if they're playing a european team, then I just want to see a great football match (and whatever you say, Man U are a great football team, with a very good midfield), and I'd be quite happy to see an English team win. Then I hear a load of Man U fans being total cocks about it, and so I suddenly feel like I've been foolish to cheer them... It's a catch 22 for me :-S I'd never boo a Man U player in an England shirt though, well possibly Phil Neville giving away that penalty years ago. This competition about being a proper or real fan gets on my tits. You and Anna go up to Anfield all the time and follow the team. I don't because I can't afford to, and honestly if I had more money, I'd spend it going to see gigs rather than footy matches, because it's a better experience for me (I have crappy eyesight, so going to matches gives me limited access, I'd rather see it clearly on a tv with a cold beer in the pub). However, I love watching football, probably as much as anyone else on here, and I feel a lot of love towards Liverpool because I have fond memories of the place, and going to Anfield a lot (when it wouldn't have meant every spare penny I have). Please don't take that as confrontational, I am just trying to explain how I see things. Where we definitely differ, is that I would much much rather see England win a world cup, and experience that joy and buzz in the pubs, than cheer Liverpool winning any cup.
