...and SimonM, isn't he one of the Sheffield clubs, Utd? Weds? doesn't matter which really...;-)

"Doesn't matter which???!!!"(6) Wash your mouth out with soap and water!!

There's probably as many people here supporting Yorkshire clubs as London clubs...

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Maybe we need to start a non premier thread? I rarely contribute on here (which goes against my nature!) cos it's just not relevant/interesting. [ducks] By which I mean I don't give a fig about Spurs, Chelsea, Man U, etc.

[Keef]

No one cares about Man U! ;-)

I'm a Liverpool supporter for which I make no appologies, but I'm also happy to talk Charlton, as I've actually seen more of their games live in the last few years than I have Liverpool (since leaving the pool).

And of course, we all support the pink & bloooos! >:D<

So come on ????, who is it? From your name I would have guessed Chelsea, but obviously not.

[david_carnell]

There are some Leeds fans knocking around...Marching On Together!

SimonM...."one of the Sheffield clubs" eh? There'll be trouble afoot soon enough.

[SimonM]

>>SimonM...."one of the Sheffield clubs" eh? There'll be trouble afoot soon enough<<

Yep. The one that helps out Leeds United finances by buying their better players in the annual Elland Road fire sale. :))

Just how is Rob Hulse working out for you?? Scored many this season has he? Good investment that! B)

Be seeing you again next season...well, provided you stay up of course.

[SimonM]

Rob Hulse was a fine investment and was scoring vital goals until he broke a leg in a dreadful collion in the Chelsea game. Now he is back in the reserves we can but hope he will soon be scoring them again in the first team. I'm more ambivalent about Kilgallon but applaud the lad for wanting to better himself....:))

An Ipswich fan turned up in Sheffield the other week...

With it being his first visit to Bramall Lane the guy wasn't sure on where to go so decided he'd better ask a passer-by for directions...

"Excuse me sir could you please tell me how to get to Bramall Lane?"

"Yeah mate, Just follow the crowds"

Needless to say the poor Ipswich fan ended up outside Tesco's.

This scenario works equally well when transferred to Stamford Bridge on a Champs League night!

Annasfield - I support West Ham, as I'm from east London and it used to be compulsory....and, yes, I was in Cardiff last May : (

[Annasfield]

Good on you for supporting your local team ;-)

Great win for us tonight, bring on the Mancs! >:D<

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

So - who actually likes Marseilles' strip?

ed. for spelling!

[Annasfield]

What that fetching shade of peach and turquoise? B)

Mind you the old jokes are the best!

Eeeeeeeasy! Liverpool were not exactly stretched last night, but played really nice stuff. Just want to see Torres tear apart the manc defence!

[atila the gooner]

Well done to the Pool last night. I think perhaps the Manure defence may prove a little more testing than the lovely boys in pink and blue. Nice!!!

[Annasfield]

Why is that when we trounce a team, it's because they played poorly? Nothing to do with us playing them off the park. Does annoy me sometimes.....

[Keef]

We did play them off the park, but I think it is fair to say that they are a bit shit, they're only 3 points off the relegation zone, that makes them someone like Fulham ;-) Manc defence are indeed better, but I still think Torres could make them look slow and silly. We'll see...

[atila the gooner]

I don't think there is anything in my posting that says Marseille played poorly, are you feeling perhaps a tad paranoid? And Manure will be a bigger test than Marseille, I'd lays odds on it.

[Annasfield]

I'd put money on it too atila and trust me there is no paranoia. My comment wasn't aimed at anyone directly - if you watch the pundits or comments in the press it's generally the consensus of opinion towards Liverpool.

The Mancs will be a big test, we all know that. However, every game we have won comfortably this season has been because the other team have been poor. We stuffed Bolton the other week and then they beat Utd - can't be that bad a team....

[SeanMacGabhann]

Annasfield

The TV pundits are pretty poor anyway but the media I read (and then leave on the seat, yes I know, thanks Alan Dale) is pretty positive about Liverpool and Rafa as well. Any criticism of Liverpool I read tends to be the same ones I hear from Liverpool fans anyway

"Why did give up with 20 mins to go?"

"Why did he choose that formation for that game?"

etc etc

I cheered you on last night and I'll cheer you on at the weekend!

I was wrong, a quick look at the table shows that Fulham would absolutely love to be 3 points above relegation, as they currently stand above relegation only through goal difference. In fact, Fulham, Boro, Birmingham, Bolton and Spurs are all within 2 points of the relegation zone, so Marseille are actually relative high flyers! >:D<

I do agree with Anna (and this is not a victim complex) that when the Arse or Manure trounce a team, all you hear about is how great they were, and the football they played being so beautiful. Liverpool have scored tons of goals recently and left some sides for dead, and all you hear after is how poor these sides have been, not that Liverpool made them look very ordinary...

We made Newcastle look absolutely sh!te, just days before they battled to a hard fought draw against Arsenal.

Aaaanyway, we're through, that's the important thing... Going to have a tough draw for the second round, but I really hope we get Real!

[Ladygooner]

Anyone know when the draw for the next round is?

>It's funny Keef, because I heard that idiot Terry Christian on Talkshite last saturday saying exactly what you have said about Manure, and how nobody praises them when they win and how it's all saved for the Arse. Then again he is so up his own backside I'd expect nothing less than that from him. He kept banging on about the press picking up on Ronaldo's cheating (quite right to), and why do the media think they are a dirty team (Roy Keane admitting he purposely broke some ones leg might have something to do with it), and the thugs Scholes and Neville don't exactly enhance their image . The man is a complete merchant banker.
