Parkdrive Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 What I don't get is pundits like Phil Thompson calling him greedy because he wants to leave the club, by the same token then could Lallana be accused of being greedy when moving to Liverpool?

No class.I agree Jah, but unfortunately it seems to be the way of things these days and I can't see it getting any better. I'm seriously getting hacked off with the whole Premier League thing. Going off at a tangent I know, but I went along to see my sons' friend play for Beckenham Town a few weeks back, and it was so refreshing not to have to put up with all the corporate crap that has taken the Prem over. The quality level wasn't great, but I got the distinct impression fans actually felt part of the club, and not a necessary evil to be tolerated which is how many fans feel about clubs in the Prem they've followed for decades.

Jah Lush Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Yep, Dulwich Hamlet is my priority these days. Much more fun. I've not been to watch Spurs this season and I've not done that during a season in decades. I can no longer afford to go. The travelling there and back is a pain in the arse and I don't enjoy it as much as I do at Champion Hill.

I understand where you're coming from Jah, I've only been to watch the Arsenal 5 or 6 times this season and only because mates with season tickets have let me have their seats at face value, but the whole corporate thing does my head in. Do any of you ever foresee a time when the Prem bubble bursts?

red devil Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 A lot of the Liverpool players from the 70's & 80's would've been an upgrade on the players Utd had at the time. Wasn't a big fan of Macmanaman, but he did play very well in those games. Zidane was the man though. More recently, had Liverpool kept Alonso, Mascherano, Gerrard and Torres together they would've pushed Utd close, more often than the one season they did. I think the only difference between the clubs that season was that we had Ronaldo who could win a game on his own...
