You might have to explain that again, he's a Liverpool fan.

I thought it was great that Chelsea got the away goal because there is nothing more entertaining than watching Liverpool fans trying to work out how many they need to score in order to win the tie.

Ha ha! Its easy for them to figure it out, all they have to do, is win on the night. But they wont

[wurzel]

No it's not. They can draw 1-1 and it would go to penalties.

I meant the easiest way for them to figure it out.

[Yudster]

Ok, it's clearly not just the Liverpool fans.......

[button08]

some Chelsea fans are so over confident anyone would think that Chelsea were in the final already


but I will admit it doesn't look good for Liverpool

[wurzel]

The Bristol fans as well.

There's nothing wrong with Bristol football fans, City or Rovers, both stes of dans are used to bitter disappointment!

[wurzel]

***sets of fans!

[kendra k]

I still hope both teams are struck by a meteor.

I'm reading a book now about the big clubs pricing out fans and the football league. The author makes good points but seems to hate Sheffield Wednesday and blames them for Hillsborough more than the South Yorkshire Police. Anybody who relishes Wendesday's demise as much as this guy seem to have bugs me.

[kendra k]

Too bad Sidders isn't about. Wednesday came from behind to win 1-3! We're not going down without a fight!!

[Ezza]

Coventry still aren't in the relegation zone, might manage to stay up this season. I'm actually getting into football now.

[Andy B]

I think Eric and Ernie summed up my views on the Portsmouth game

"What did you think of that?"

"Rubbish!"

[kendra k]

I'm sure Cat will give her thoughts on Everton-Villa when she gets back from Liverpool, but I think I just made myself ill watching that match. Everton totally had it after that Yobo goal and they're lucky to get a point.

[Andy B]

Would have been the best possible result for us had we won but I think we'll have to look for the FA Cup as our ticket to Europe...Harry doesn't give a stuff about the league any more.

David James ended 5 year run of 166 consecutive premiership starts - thanks to Caroline Cheese on the 606 website for that!

Everton Stadium and surroundings = shit fans, shit ground and shit hole. Seriously those fans are so quiet if it wasn't for us being there you could hear a pin drop.
The match though, i have never come so close to literally shitting my panties in all my life. What a game! We creamed them in the first half they creamed us in the second half, i think the result was deserved. We had a few chances in the first half and screwed them up, which is a shame. Brilliant match, brilliant atmosphere in the away part anyway.
We will still get fifth.

[Quincy]

i almost fell asleep at football today....

[MK Chris]

shit hole

Liverpool's quite a nice city if you go to the right places. I've never been inside Goodison (though I've been round the outside of it), but I like Liverpool as a city.

[Yudster]

I've never been to Goodison but Anfield is like a vast concrete urinal.

[Bruvva]

So, highlights of the weekend were Ferguson accidentally spitting out his chewing gum then staring at it and picking it back up off the floor and back into his mouth, Quieroz's increasingly deluded and paranoid post match interviews and his and his boss's gradual slide into Keeganesque mentalism.

Oh, and Chelsea fans spreading rumours on messageboards about one of their fans being killed in Liverpool in an attempt to whip up an atmosphere at their soulless pit of a ground on Wednesday. Hateful *.

[Yudster]

Goodbye Layer Road, goodbye to your splintering wooden seats, your crumbling concrete steps, your decaying corrugated iron partitions. Goodbye to your appalling tea, and your worse hot dogs. Goodbye to your advertising hoardings which have been known to blow on to the pitch from time to time. Goodbye to your temperamental pitch, which I have seen flooded, ploughed, frozen, and baked and cracked - sometimes in the same fortnight. Goodbye to being able to hear what the fans in the opposite stands are saying. Goodbye to being able to have a conversation with the players during the game because you're that close to the pitch, and there's often not much else going on, you might as well. Goodbye to your family-friendly atmosphere which somehow also managed to retain its crustiness and edge, without descending into bitterness. Goodbye to "The Old Men In The Barn".

I'm going to miss you. Layer Road is dead.

Oh no!

That's a bit better than the vast wooden urinal that is Kenilworth Road though, where I took my brother a couple of times before he got his season ticket. If it weren't so damp, it'd be a fire hazard.

I find it like that even when it's empty.

Play off-s for City after a hard to take 2-1 defeat at Sheffield United. Absolutely battered them yet they won thanks to a dodgy penalty. That's the sort of football we can play and, if we play like that in the next 3 games, Wembley is beckoning...

[MK Chris]

Wurzel.. in your eyes, does any team not cheat when they play you?

Depends whether they win or not Topher.

Ho hum.

And where exactly have i said they cheated?! I said we absolutely battered them, which we did. I said they won by a controversial penalty, which they did. Not for a foul or anything, but for "handball".

Read it again properly...

[MK Chris]

Swap "does any team not cheat when they play you" with "are you ever not cheated out of points when you lose" and you have a fundamentally similar question.
