The English Football Thread

lol can you think of a better one?

It was the mother of all epicness!

So there, now you can jump on the bandwagon and call me a Liverpool fan.

[capriccioso 2,545]

City to dominate the PL? Will they fuck. They have spent nearly a billion quid on this squad and won the league by a margin of 1 and a half minutes. They will not dominate unless they buy the entire first team of Real Madrid and Barcelona this summer. Stop overreacting, I fully expect United to win it back next season. So fucking what if they're breaking the rules? Everyone does, football is a very, very corrupt sport. So what if they'll beat us to Eden Hazard or whoever else? They still won't get better, a band of mercenaries take years to gel together if you keep adding new mercenaries to the equation. And who knows? What if they spend 50 million pounds on signing Hazard and he gets a career ending tackle on debut?

You are acting as though they have an unbeatable squad, as though they have on their books the 25 best footballers in the history of the sport. Their squad is too shit to dominate, they've got 5-6 world class players and the rest are between decent and good. Furthermore, there are only two players who can make that squad significantly better enough to actually dominate- Messi and Ronaldo- and they will not leave their current clubs. Ourselves, Arsenal, Liverpool and Man United meanwhile have our worst squad in decade(s) and they still only just managed to fucking scrape it. Mancini is a mug, I hope they never ever sack him. If a team spends nearly 1 billion pounds and still can't win the league convincingly even though all of the other contenders have regressed to the point of utter wank, they need to spend another billion to match the contenders when they improve. They cannot. They will not.

TX and Sloth are like children, scared of insubstantial shadows. City will, if they're lucky, win another 3 or 4 leagues at the most in the next decade, not 8 or 9. Enough of this shit, it's embarrassing. We are not Liverpool, we do not get jealous of other teams successes, nor do we act like hypocrites by pretending we didn't buy our way to titles either. Liverpool bought their titles in the 70s and 80s (Kenny Dalglish- British transfer record), but when we did it they treated us like a fucking cancer. I am not going to let you degenerate into Scousers. Congratulate Man City and move on.

Fucking kopite.

on a serious note, I dont think a team should be praised for cheating in a final (see Gerrard dive for the penalty)

I know you guys miss that.

/it is true though that City won't dominate because next year will be Liverpool's year.

I bet this is how the Manchester United fans reacted when Chelsea won the Premiership in 04-05.

With Lionel Downing, Andres Henderson, Xavi Spearing and Alexis Carroll. I expect nothing less.

[francozola 2,040]

I think this is the only place I see where opposing teams are such haters. Cause in other places fans from other teams just congratulate the winning teams. Liverpool fans, Barcelona fans, Fulham fans and such.

This place is becoming like RAWK. Fill with hate and envy.....

You can't really compare those fans to us because City are our direct rivals.

Liverpool first of all, hate Utd more than anything in the world so obviously they're going to be happy. I read some guy comment that he felt happier than Istanbul. Just how fucking sad is that?! Secondly, they are nowhere near competing for top 4, let alone the title so it doesn't affect them as much.

Barca fans hate Utd probably so City winning = them happy I guess

Smaller clubs like Fulham have nothing to do with this argument, plus they might have some bias against Chelsea so they'll be delighted to see another team with money do well.

Also just because people are angry about the fact that they won the title doesn't mean they are not congratulatory.

Anyway it's done. We need to find a way to become more competitive.

that first stoke goal was a joke, and surely long was offside for WBA first goal?/

Chris Foy is probably a QPR fan. Kept them up in just 2 games!

I think David Moyes has done yet another fantastic job for Everton this season.He's destined for greater things in the future and deserves to be noticed and appreciated for his achievements at the club.

Well done.

If only Everton can start off a season like how they usually end it, they would be a real major force in the Top 5-6 of the table.

They need major financial backing.

A massive understatement!
