The English Football Thread

[zolayes 14,489]

Since you live in England, could you please explain to me, why Liverpoops or manures are so admired by the media & Chelsea is hated?

my theory .. most of the journos started following Arse Manure and Scumpool because they were the Big Three when they were young.

they have stayed with their boyhood heroes ,,, Chelsea became hated only when we started to win things , There is the secondary factor that Liverpool

are above criticism (and the law)

Everyone fucking hates Liverpool fans though. Going on like they can win the league, flares and flags when the team coach was going into the ground for fuck sake. This might be a bit 'tabbo' aswell but everyone is thinking it, I'm fucking sick of hearing about Hillsborough and it seems to be a memorial for it every season. Starting games 8 minutes later is a joke.

So I'm just going to come right out and say it but I really don't rate this Liverpool side at all. Not only do I not rate them but I'm very skeptical of their so called 'progress.' Comparing their players to those of Everton's and Southampton's, strikers aside I don't think Liverpool has a better team than those two let alone having a comparable team to that of Spurs, Arsenal and us.

They have mediocre players like Sterling and Henderson, (I'm sorry but come on he's damn average) who are producing performances of world beaters; good players like Sturridge producing numbers comparable only to elite footballers like Cavani, Zlatan, Messi etc and then there's Gerrard who is past his prime but looking at his stats, you would never know it. Even Skrtel for god's sakes has something like 5 goals this season.

And it's not as if their progress has been gradual. It's almost like a 180 degree transformation that has taken place within short time span. Either Brandan Rogers is a miracle worker or having an in-form strike force can do wonders to a team's performances.

Liverpool winning this championship is a joke, as things stand. But that does n't mean I rule them out from making significant progress next year.

I think it's City's and Arsenal today have no chance in a trillion.

City and Arsenal are the two teams I don't like because they are always fall guys in Europe.

[Alan Partridge 1,124]

Liverpool will struggle getting used to playing in Europe mid week. If they invest in some quality depth then they might cope better

Would like to see United lose today. Give them 0 confidence going into the Bayern match, then the real comedy begins!

I don't know how you can belittle their progress when they're literally a point behind us.

Rumors that Tottenham's next manager will be Van Gal. I hope that's not true. He's a great manager.

[Alan Partridge 1,124]

What a fucking waste of money that was!

[Kieran. 6,317]

Mata (Utd) and Bertrand (Aston Villa) started in our 2012 CL Final win. Weird to think about..

[Alan Partridge 1,124]

[gary gordon 1,777]

Not even a full season of bad results and The Theatre of Shit already has empty seats.. And they call our fans Glory Hunters? Pfft

[Alan Partridge 1,124]

Cunts

[Pizy 17,860]

Rooney standing completely still and without a defender within yards of him inside the Villa box. Incredible.

Why couldn't Villa defend like this in our match? Cunts.
