You applaud the players by buying a ticket???? Not the same as cheering and applauding is it!!!

how underrated Park and O'Shea are


I've always liked Park.


As for below the belt Keef...videos of Gerard kissing the camera and various other posts by your lot when you beat us?


Two wrongs don't make a right, I see your point, and thought at the time that it would come back to haunt Liverpool fans, but surely you can see the difference? Your lot actually win a shed load of things, and have always been so cocky about it (not so much the players, although Ronaldo lacks class sometimes). That is why I find it very hard to take my hat of to United sometimes, I like a gracious winner.


If Liverpool win the league anytime soon, I cringe to think how some (and we both know who I mean) will act, and I'd find that just as classless!

Couldn't have put it better myself

Errr... :-$ Yeah, sorry about that. I did apologise at the time though (and I was encouraged). Don't really like to be smug as it does tend to bite you on the arse.


Didn't really watch the game last night although I was praying for an Arsenal win. Hopefully they'll want some vengenance in the league.

Yeah, sticking 2 fingers up at other people for an acheivment that isn't yours is much better.


This is why I have come to the conclusion that I am not a "real" footy fan. I love watching the game, I want Liverpool to win things, and I particularly like it when they beat certain teams.


Yet, I will cheer these other teams in european games, and if Liverpool get beat, I will go about my day and move on...


... to the oval perhaps.

I really don't understand why anyone who is a Liverpool fan would want to cheer Man United over any other team unless it's to Liverpool's advantage and vice versa - are you seriously telling me Keef you would support United in the Final over Barcelona or Chelsea!?


If Spurs were playing Real Madrid tonight I may root for Spurs, but I'd not expect that from West Ham, Arsenal or Chelsea fans. Rivals do not support each other - you do not cross that line! :)

are you seriously telling me Keef you would support United in the Final over Barcelona or Chelsea!?


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.

I admire your Corinthian spirit Keef, I find the most obnoxious vitriolic fans don't tend to come from the area of the team they support, they're easy to spot, they overdo the 'I hate so and so' act to compensate, wearing it like some badge of honour hoping they'll be readily accepted into the fold...

I'm shocked, My undying love for ManU has been made very apparent on the forum so although un-patriotic I will be supporting Barcelona if Chelski fail, I wont support United in Europe even though they are an English club because it would be wrong sorry I just cant help it.

No way Mike! I thought you'd be right behind us. ;-)

Never apologise for being passionate about your club mate, it's a good thing there are still people like you out there, and I wish a few more of them were at our place last night!!

Really sorry mate I just think that so many people dis their largest rivals all season and then support them in Europe when their team has been eliminated, it's a bit false and to be honest. I know it's a little harsh but I am at least being honest I dont want to inflame anything theres no point, I just think that it would be shallow to support them while despising them during the season.

    • And now we have the worst labour government in many many decades who by moving to your position on the right are ushering in a far right reform government. Well done you.
    • You implied he did a good job in your first paragraph when you said you would have hated to see Corbyn lead the country through Covid - the alternative being Johnson, presumably? With the results we all saw. Unite - you have a problem with unions? Who work hard to see that their members get a fair deal in their workplace? How exactly are these people and groups "all as bad as each other"? In what way? Labour "purging their party of the far-left" has given us a weak prime minister who has apparently deserted any "left" (aka caring for other people and having decent moral principles) leanings he ever had. Which is why people appear to be leaving Labour in droves and voting, or intending to vote, Green or Lib Dem or for an independent Left candidate. Starmer has shot himself in the foot, in my opinion. But what would I know. What worked?! I don't know enough about what you are talking about to comment, but "believing" you know the reason someone did something does not make it true. I don't believe that Corbyn ever got "starstruck" or "forgot about his politics", but if you can provide evidence that those things are true, then fair enough. I don't think you can, though.
    • I think you need to get a grip If it's who I am thinking of, she's a young black girl in her twenties, has braids with bright colours through them and - I suspect - works with her father. It's always the same man behind the wheel and he's older than her, always in the same van, so I'm assuming it's a father-daughter combo which, if it is, I think is rather sweet.  They hustle hard in a job that is poorly paid, has little prospects, is relentless and thankless. The fact that they have stuck it out since the pandemic says a lot about them.  I think she's a lovely girl, who's perhaps a little shy - but she'll smile or chat back if you make the effort with her. And I admire her for sticking with that job for so long. Perhaps she's just one of these people who's naturally a bit clumsy or bashes things, the same way some people are heavy on their feet when they walk. But I wouldn't dream of jeopardising her job because she closes the slams the gate and doesn't 'kiss' the ring doorbell with her fingers.  Perhaps she's being passive aggressive because you are. And perhaps she also wishes she got to spend her time worrying about potential damage to her letterbox or her gate.  As for your gate / letterbox - you're talking about hypotheticals. Has there been any damage? No. Then go and live your life and worry about it when it happens.  (apols we have the wrong person, but some of my points still stand). 
    • Greg did an amazing job! He built a cabinet in my living room and added shelving. A lovely guy and perfectionist who goes the extra mile. He really understands what you want and comes up with various options to meet your price range. Would highly recommend!
