The English Football Thread

[TorontoChelsea 4,064]

Personally, I tend to enjoy it when supporters of other clubs come on the board as long as they are respectful. It tends to give a broader debate. I also can't stand the infantile name-calling. "Manure" makes the poster seem about 6 years old and is no different from those idiots who use "Chelsea" and think they're being clever. They are our rivals but to not acknowledge their history and talent is to show you don't respect football. Other teams have talent. Other teams have success. Other teams can be fun to watch. Admitting this doesn't make you a traitor, it makes you a fan of football. I don't like a world where being a supporter means you must loathe every other team. I support Chelsea. I want Chelsea to win. I don't give a flying fuck about other squads. (In fact, the positive Real Madrid and Man City threads bother me. You shouldn't support Chelsea and another big European club!)

And you shouldn't complain about people calling Man United childish names. From what I remember do you not call Barcelona- Uefalona?

Sure, I may have called them that once or twice in the heat of a moment on this forum but never directly to a Barcelona fan because that's just trying to provoke a reaction and in order to have a proper discussion that's not the way to go. For example, if we're drawn against Barcelona at some point and one of their fans comes here to discuss the tie with us, I see no reason to start calling them Uefalona or anything but if he comes here just to wind us up I see no problem with calling him and his club names. What you and bushman have done is abuse @JayC from the very beginning just because of the club he supports and that's just being childish.

Anyway, now I'm really out of here. I don't have all day to argue with you guys, there's much better ways to spend a lovely Thursday evening.

Funny thing is people here are so 'disrespectful' to Man United (which people claim is purely due to their success)

Then why aren't people here 'disrespectful' to Madrid, Milan and other successful clubs.

Nobody insulted JayC. I insulted Man United. I have already apologised to him on this thread and by PM.

Enjoy your evening . The weather must be excellent this time of year in Finland.

We don't have to be unbiased but we don't have to be utterly disrespectful either, there's a difference.

We don't and we shouldn't but I just don't see how any rival fan should expect anything different when joining a rival forum. You could be 100% in the right but you won't get an audience for it.

Considering how many idiots are on the internet I still find it odd when people find it hard to let things go, wasting your time, both parties.

Well said. So far, I have hardly ever seen anyone making fun of Real, Bayern...etc. Somehow, I have seen plenty of folks having a laugh or two at manures.

Not sure if you just insulted my country for it's usually shit weather (not that I'd give a flying fuck if you did, I hate it myself) or if you really know that August is usually the most pleasant month around here. Anyway, being an adult and all there's plenty of stuff to do even when the weather is bad, you'll learn that in a few years.

No I'm not insulting your country because I expected it to be much milder in the summer than other places. Such as it's horribly hot right now here. But that has its advantages too.

btw man. I'm not fighting with any of u or anything. I just disagree with u simple. So please don't take anything personally.

A draw for both the manchester teams and win for Crystal Palace in the london derby!!

[Jase 43,479]

Just read through 7 pages, 7 BLOODY PAGES(!) of pettiness and triviality argument about Man United...Pathetic!

Liverpool v Stoke to kick things off. Oh how lovely...

Silver lining is it's at Anfield and not Brittannia. Won't be a snore fest hopefully!!

If u r so confident about your legendary Man United then why were you silenced on page 483 when we clearly showed people if the FA worked for United and how useless United is.

FFS you guys get outplayed by Reading at Old Trafford and you call yourselves a great team!

Dude, please just quit this whining of yours. You and a couple of others are completely ruining this thread with a buch of nonsense name calling and accusations. We got your point, move on.

Unlike a few bitter blues here, I can appreciate an opposition fan, gives an idea of what they're thinking about their teams performances and what their opinion is about us. And for any retard whose gonna quote me and question my loyalty: YES, I actually care about how

other fans view my team and can have a mature argument.

Edit: Keep it up @cicero. Quality member.

How is it pathetic?

It's about time we have a good argument on this forum, things are becoming stale, and there was actually some good points, no one insulted anyone.

What's even the point in a forum if no one can even have an argument or a disagreement? There is nothing wrong with people being opinionated and there is certainly nothing wrong when there expressing there opinion and not insulting whilst there at it. If you're going to pick out that they are childish for saying things like manure then you're the silly the one for getting so annoyed about it.

The Suarez situation is a joke. They always say noone is bigger than the club yet this guy constantly seems to be.

There was all that carry on with Evra, Dalglish sticks up for him, and it was pretty bad. Then I will never forget watching him sink his teeth in. It was one of the most shocking random events i think in football today. It was such a terrible example to everyone and ok he got a ban but still, and all this nonsense, he wants to leave, liverpool are liars, they wont let him leave, if he apologises, all will be forgotten, he wont say sorry, then today all of a sudden he has apologised and now back with first team.

You sure he isn't bigger than the team. I don't know why Arsene wants to deal with that circus.

The Gareth Bale situation is becoming silly too, if he wants to go to Madrid he should really push through a move, because there are now rumours Madrid are cooling on the idea, and if that is the case, if i was him, i would be out there declaring my love for Tottenham and how i want to stay or it could get very awkward. It isnt that fair on Spurs, either go and let them get someone else or stay and come out and say it. It's very boring.

The Rooney situation is slightly different, it has been made clear that him and Moyes don't get on, the book etc, and bit of a conicedece when he arrives, Wayne supposedly wants to leave. I think they need to sort it out. I still can't believe Moyes is the Utd manager.

Liverpool have made an absolute mockery of themselves.

That's certainly not a good example set by an admin. Cos from what I know, forums are all about discussion. If you don't like them. Kindly, don't read them.

Oh yes and here's the rest.
