I will probably be banned for this but... Footie Thread

My excitement for football is mostly restored this season with Liverpool having their best stab at the Premiership ever and potentially their first league title in 24 years, I shouldn't tempt fate as nothing is certain yet. I suppose I have become a bit of a glory supporter this year as I haven't followed football closely for about 6 years now. I started supporting Liverpool in 1987 when I got my first shirt for my birthday. I still have it even though most of the word 'Paints' has come off lol. I was a season ticket holder with my brother in 1995/6 for one year, but my last trip to Anfield was in 2003. I can feel the urge to go next season again after the last few months.

I just hope the dream becomes a reality and its the first time I can remember where Man Utd loving mates have said Liverpool deserve it this year. On another note its sad about Moyes as I really did think he'd do well at Old Trafford. He went into a team that had won the league by 12 points and didn't seem capable of picking a team. I am surprised he has lasted this long however and expected this news to come 6 weeks ago.

Everybody wants Liverpool to win this year (well most people who love football and whose team isn't fighting for the title)

Moyes not even completing the season AND LFC winning the title - should make for a lovely few days for Alex.
One camera must be trained on his face when/if Liverpool confirm the title.

Ryan Giggs is to take over till the end of the season. It will be interesting what XI he puts puts out.

Maybe he could be our Pep. :p

Not only this year. I want them to win the title every year cos Liverpool is my fav team of all times. I love them as much as I love Steaua.

Steaua Budapest rulez :andrea: :devil:

My heart goes out to Moyes. He deserved to succeed and if Utd had stuck by him and allowed him to build his own team to replace the pensioners he was left with, he probably would have done. You don't suddenly become a poor manager and it was less than a year ago he was in the hunt for the EPL manager of the year. I would guess his phone has been ringing for the past few hours with offers from other clubs both in and out of England. Wherever he goes I wish him well and I am sure he will rise again.

I don't envy the next lamb to the slaughter at United - ageing squad, not enough cash to rebuild, not to mention the malignant presence of Ferguson hovering around.

I don't know how good he was at Everton in the first place. Look how bad they got after he left :rolleyes:.. I think plenty were prepared for a scenario where Man Utd didn't win any silverware but no one expected to be constantly humiliated like this. This is unacceptable not matter how 'bad' the team is (bad enough to be the current champions :rolleyes:)

Atletico vs Chelsea last night...Zzzzzzzzzz :(

There have been too many performances this year that suggest that the players aren't really playing for the manager. And too many questionable choices by Moyes. How did he get it so tactically wrong against Everton? A team with 2 of the best attacking full backs in Europe and he decides to bring Nani back into the line-up, because Nani is obviously renown for tracking full backs :rolleyes:

Perhaps we should stand on the Kop together, go for a few pints in The Park and sing 'You'll Never Walk Alone' lol :p :)
