For goodness sake, lighten up man. Its banter. Jeeez.

[Jah Lush]

Don't tell me to lighten up. It ain't banter to me. You're proper wind-up merchant who's already been banned at least twice from here.

[SeanMacGabhann]

Jah - have you forgotten to take your charm pills today? What exactly has EC said today that's so hostile? A teeny bit of winding up but people say much worse on here all the time

[Emerson Crane]

Calling Arsenals home ground the home of football is what kicked this off.

[SeanMacGabhann]

I read that as tongue-in-cheek when you posted it, but knowing you you could mean it as well EC

Either way, big deal

[Emerson Crane]

quite

[Atticus]

If we're talking Bricks and mortar Emerson, then look no further than good old Goodison! The first purpose built football stadium.

[SeanMacGabhann]

Shame they installed the fans seats the wrong way around (boom boom)

[Emerson Crane]

The home of football to me is a term of affection for the club I love, nothing more nothing less. I leave it to others to think whatever they wish of that phrase.

[Atticus]

That would have been a blessing last Saturday

If you were going to fall in love, you could have picked a better club. One that wins things. Have you ever thought of changing?

[Emerson Crane]

To say Liverpool? Who haven't won the title for.......remind me. Or say, excuse me while I gag, Tottenham who haven't won the title since, well ask Jah, he knows.

But seriously folks, support for a club is uncondtional, and is not dependent on your team winning. I've supported my team through good times and bad and so it will remain. I am not a fairweather supporter, and am not one of those that follows a club only through the good times. Glory hunters I believe they are called, ask anyone thats supported Man U since the early nineties, they'll know what that means. B)

[Annasfield]

It wasn't meant in a derogatory manner Mockney - or have I totally got the wrong end of the stick here? My Madrid team is Atletico, in fact they're my Spanish team having seen them play and visited the Calderon a few times now. I was quite pleased to see the Galacticos torn apart and made up to see Barca win. Brought back happy memories of their 4-0 drubbing at Anfield only 20 months ago.

Apparently, the majority of last night's team came through their academy.

I'm also flying home from Bucharest via Barcelona on Friday night, so I'm looking forward to a night out there!

Anyhoo, to think that Liverpool beat both of those teams in recent years, goes to show just had bad things have got at Anfield (the real home of football ;-) )

[Atticus]

The 'real' home indeed, good point. Everton did play at fortress Anfield before the 'outsiders' moved in!

[Annasfield]

This is true, however you do tend to get evicted when you can't afford to pay your rent.

[Atticus]

Well, money isn't everything, obviously, it is for some but not for the followers of the People's Club. 'If you know your history...'

[Annasfield]

I agree, but paying the basic bills is quite important. Anyway, I thought you didn't care what the red shite say?

[Atticus]

At what price? Hicks? Gillette?

No thanks.

Of course I care, Merseypride and all that!

[Annasfield]

Parry and Moores should have been strung up for selling the club to those parasites. If you read through the football threads, you'll see that I was anti those two for their tenure. Thank god they're gone.

[SeanMacGabhann]

No-one going to mention west ham? Some great stuff being played tonight

[Narnia]

By who?

[mockney piers]

Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

['bout now]

I'm utterly speechless. Utterly, utterly speechless.
