Champions league Thread

[kopite]

I was born in liverpool and brought up in Old swan which is just outside the city centre.

Football in the premierleague is no longer a local game I mean Even everton have fans from outside of merseyside now!

I was born in Northern Ireland. Does that mean I'm not allowed to support any English club?

I've supported Liverpool since I was 4 years old. Well, coerced by my cousins and brother. But still, since not knowing any better (you don't reallly know much of anything at 4 years old) I've been supporting them now for 32 years. Plus, I lived on the Wirral for 16 years and worked in Liverpool for several of those.

Now I live in Gotham City and there aren't many Premiership teams here. But just because I moved elsewhere shouldn't mean I have to change my allegiance. Liverpool fan all my life and will stay that way till the end of my days, no matter where I live.

Oh, and Liverpool will win the Champions League. Sorry, but the top teams may whoop us in the Prem but when it comes to those European Cup nights no one in England comes close to the Mighty Reds.

Bring. It. On...

SO all arsenal fans are from london now?

I'm loving this "you can only support the team local to where you live/grew up" thing. I'm a Celtic fan, born in York, grew up in and around Yorkshire. I've been following the Bhoys for around 15 years or so. For me supporting the team is about more than what you win (granted the SPL is pretty much a 2 and a half horse race, which we're currently not doing great in) but making a decision and being there through the rough and the smooth.

Anyways, if anyone's interested in my opinion I suspect we're on for a Liverpool vs Man Utd or Barcelona final, probably with Man Utd edging it (if they make it to the final).

Man Utd vs Liverpool would make a great final for obvious reasons.

Barcelona vs Arsenal would also be a great final, replay of a few years ago where I think Arsenal could and maybe should have won it.

im loving how many are writing us off. good stuff indeed

[Mossy]

dont forget to watch us beat your team senslessly in 2/3 weeks time.

Beat us senslessly?

Not writing anyone off, merely giving my opinion on who I think will be in the final. There's a big difference, and you'd be amazed of the objectivity a little impartiality can give you.

EDIT: y'know what? After the attitude Josh seems to take to anyone who doesn't say "Arsenal are the best team in the world ever" I actually want them to end up with nothing now.

[MadduckUK]

Beat us senslessly?

its certainly a statement...

[Mossy]

at the beggining of one of your many other football discussions you said something on the lines of I will show you lot when Arsenal win the leaugue this year you would raise the thread from the depths to show us lot and make us eat our words....

[j.o.s.h.1408]

i never said we will win the league. i said we will do better then last year when many people like you wrote us off in finishing in the top 4 LOL now look at us. nice positon eh. arsenal must be the most hated club in england

fair enough but you and others would love if arsenal finish 5th but guess what lads its not gunna happen. Thats not my attitude. i take to everyone who says arsenal are finished and that Henry thread many of you lot predicted that arsenal are gunna finish 5th at best but wake up lads and look at our current position and how well we have done this season.

you lot only talk about arsenal when we lose or if somthing bad happens but never what we have achieved. typical arsenal haters if you ask me

Can you not see WHY people slate you?

To correct you Man Utd would be my choice for "The Best" hated team/club in England

I would change your statement of being Mr Logical as you ARE far from it...

Logical : capable of or reflecting the capability for correct and valid reasoning; "a logical mind"

Josh - I personally have nothing against Arsenal. I'm not a fan of any team in the Premier League, so I like to think I can see things with a bit of perspective.

It may just be me, but I personally feel that it's you and your posting style that people take exception to rather than the fact that you're an Arsenal fan - you look to be the only Arsenal fan on these boards that posts in the style you do (in my opinion at least)

As for the "most hated" title - that seems to be very much M Wenger's stance too. Maybe it's true, personally I did not see the incident.

so the only reason why you and others write off arsenal is to just piss me off? because judging from your statement thats what you have clearly pointed out. my style is clearly affecting peoples true judgement here then LOL so could it be said that many here actualy like arsenal?

[MadduckUK]

yes josh, everyone is doing it to piss you off.

Are you even reading what I posted? I stated clearly that I wasn't writing off Arsenal at all, merely that my considered opinion is that they'll not get to the final. I'm not stating that they will not, merely that I don't think they will. My follow up/edit was to point out that you're the only Arsenal fan on here that seems to get people's backs up, and your insistence on doing so is only tarring Arsenal FC in my eyes.

Thus far the only thing that really irked me about Arsenal was M. Wenger and his selective vision, you clearly suffer the same condition.
