It's a football thread. Theres banter between fans. Mark offered up some and you bit like a good un. The other lads know what he's doing so don't respond. You dived right in.

Fairy Nuff. I 'bit', I 'dived in'. Give the man a gold star.

I was merely pointing out that there's a good number on here who are obsessed with Liverpool.

I don't get this whole obsessed thing. One of the biggest clubs in the country with a massive history goes to the dogs and you don't expect any talk on it? They hire a new manager from their past who hasn't managed for years. That team also sells their star player and spunks £35mil on a young lad with 3 months starting experience in the premiership.

Frankly if I were you I would be amazed if people weren't talking about Liverpool. They are the story of this season. That and how the top teams are no longer untouchable. Anyone can beat anyone on their day this season.

That's kind of my point...haven't won the league in over 20 years, weren't expected to do anything this year and yet people still can't help themselves.

Anyway, back to the original point. What's with the sympathy towards Hodgson? I think it's because they were so poor that they were no longer seen as a threat. Compare that to all the flak aimed at Benitez...

So what your saying is Liverpool fans can regard Liverpool as a big club but other fans can't? Being a CL club makes you a big club. Liverpool have been one for years until this season. You regularly spend big on players and have claimed for years to be one of the biggest clubs in Europe. You can't decide your not because you've been poop for a year or so.

I think the sympathy for Woy is that he inherited a load of crap from Benitez. He inherited a desperately unhappy Torres and a pretty poor squad given the expectations on him. He was also in the uncomfortable position of being employed by the previous hated owners. He had to hit the ground running and he failed. Due to his background I also think a lot of people wanted to see Woy do well.

Called rivalry. Alot of bin dippas on here talk about United alot as well. The problem being that you can't really say much at the minute. Liverpool are an easy target. Could have bant with the City fans but they've disappeared for some reason.

And so you aim towards the sky,
And you'll rise high today,
Fly away, Far away,
Far from pain....

Re: Football Chat Thread : Sun Feb 27, 2011 5:32 pm  
I pointed out a while back, that I find it quite bemusing that any criticism of Liverpool, is instantly met with Kopites accusing of you of being obsessed??

I think what most sensible people are simply pointing out, is that Liverpool's form is no better or no worse than under Hodgson.....Yes, King Kenny has gained a win against a terrible Chelsea side, but, similarly, so did Hodgson.

Apart from that, what else has Kenny done to make things so much better?....A few wins against sides who they really were expected to beat, and probably would have beat under Hodgson, and poor results against sides they should be getting results from, again, similar to what Hodgson was acheiving, but for some reason, Hodgson was hounded out of the job for it, whilst, bizarrely, Dalglish is set to be rewarded with a 2 year contract for..... :shock:

Personally, I hope Dalglish stays, simply because with him in charge, Liverpool will go nowhere fast......Once the novelty, honeymoon period has worn off, and it is already by the evidence of today's awful show, the lack of tactical nous will quickly begin to show.
