I went upto Parkhead to watch Celtic v Liverpool in the UEFA Cup few years back, and I was impressed with their YNWA but I have to admit it's not quite like a balmy night at Anfield when the Kop turn on the power and you feel the words racing through your veins :)
I just think that it would be shallow to support them while despising them during the season.


Perhaps you're right, but I don't despise anyone, so it's okay ;-)


Chelsea knocked us out, so I do kind of want Barca to win, and I totally agree that an all English european cup final is lacking in something, so perhaps I am rooting Barca, but if Chelsea do go past them, I shall give them "big ups".


some of my best friends are Scousers I'll have you know ;-)


Yeah, I shagged a manc bird once, lets all be friends >:D<


Actually, I think she supported City...

Sorry Matthew, but since the Kop went all-seater it's a pale shadow of its former self, especially YNWA, clubs today compensate by trying to stage manage atmospheres in grounds, take last night at the Emirates with the flags, leave that sort of thing to the Chelski's of this world...

HAHA! I went to Magaluf once which I have now renamed Shag a Northerner.

The thing is (and this isn't about being a better fan, etc etc), when you go every week and travel however many thousand miles to watch your club over a season, you are going to be a slight bit more passionate than your average person who goes once or twice in that same season.


I don't like United or Everton. United because of the rivalry between us and also the whole Liverpool/Manchester thing and also we're the two biggest clubs in the country so that comes with the territory.


It really started for me in that 96 FA Cup final. :(

I stood on the old Kop terrace for a few years before it was seated, but I have to say the very best atmosphere I've witnessed was the 2005 semi final 2nd leg against Chelsea. What you also have to remember Red Devil, assuming you're not a regular on the Kop, is that commentaries these days are done up on the gantry of the upper centenary stand rather than from the press box which is in the thick of the crowd. How often do people go to a game then switch on the Sky+ and you wonder what's happened to all that noisy singing?

Hmmm, not sure about that Matthew, I thought Sky had microphones dotted around the pitch perimeter to pick up the crowd not where their commentators sit, however agree that radio commentators and their microphones are usually in the 'gods', I know at OT they sit near the away fans so you can always hear the away fans clearly on the radio commentry...

You mean apart from the love-in we get before every Liverpool home game where they force everyone to watch and listen to the Kop singing the dirge and waving their scarves? ::o

They do have mics around the ground but purely for background otherwise you'd never hear the commentators

    • It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face. 
    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded
