FOOTBALL Live

John W. I didn't mean it so that arsenal would help­ Liverpool win the league, Just to make the last games­ more exicting. Can't you remember what it felt­ like, when arsenal won the league, beating liverpool­ 2-1, I think micheal thomas got both goals. or when­ blackburn won the league on the last game of the­ season. Like I said, It was meant from a football­ supporter not a liverpool fan

but thats the goal of all the big clubs sell more­ product so that it becomes a brand in it's own­ right its why everybody wants to buy a prem club

Mike S. It must be a lonely world you live in.
I know­ where you're coming from, with the 'All about­ the winning' mentallity, But unfortunatly once you­ grow up, other things are more important. Lets look at­ the last game united lost, I may be wrong, but I think­ it was fulham. The Utd Fans at old trafford, where­ leaving early, because they are shallow and fickle,­ because as you put it 'it's all about­ winning' Sadly not true, but we're all entitled­ to our opinion. The last time Liverpool lost the­ supporters sang You'll never walk alone. then look­ at the baggies today, they were losing, getting­ relegated, yet they still got behind their team. That­ is true support.

Let me try and rephase it so that you­ may understand. Lets say for example, you have a­ friend, as unlikely as it seems, but just for the point­ of this example. Your 'friend' goes for a top­ job, he/she doesn't get said job. You don't­ walk away from them because they're a loser, you­ support them, give them encouragement and so-on.

Which­ is the difference between Man U fans and the good­ supporters of other teams, We support, regardless of if­ we lose, win or draw.

And Man U fans wonder why they­ are despised by all other fans, it's not because­ Utd win, it's because of the arrogence, you show to­ others.

great

nice one Steve Bull! But thats the only way to­ communicate with the stupidity that is the likes of­ MIKE S. You can't talk directly to him in case you­ lower yourself to his standard , and I ain't ever­ stooping that low!

tc5705 point well made , and nice to see some­ respectful intelligence on here for a change! The­ yankees brand all be it a globally recognised logo is­ also a fashion label in its own right and its fashion­ label status has overtaken its original purpose ( that­ of support) but i can't see the Utd jersey holding­ the same stature in the fashion industry!

I like the way fairybasher talks about himself in the­ 3rd person , only the queen can do that my good man .

eshelby_dunn why the hell would Arsenal help Liverpool­ win the title. They would rather Manc u. If a­ Champions Leaugue place depended on a win yesterday,­ you can bet they would of play a lot harder.

im a united fan but have to agree wit fairy basher­ here.mike s dont make incensitive ignorant comments­ about the tragedy taht is hillsborough.who r u­ impressin here by slaggin innocent people who died­ while u hide behind yur computer?grow up cos i think i­ can speak on behalf of most people here wen i say­ footballs a game human life i smore important(never­ mind bill shankley)so grow up or just keep yur ignorant­ comments to yurself

(mike s continues to mumble in background) fairybasher­ choses to ignore him as it's an insult to his­ intelligence to continue conversing with him .­ Fairybasher wonders why Mike S has so much anger in­ him, was he not loved as a child or was he maybe­ "loved" too much by Daddy! Either way­ it's a matter for Mike S's counsellor now and­ of no concern to Fairybasher!

but thats global branding how many people do you see­ walking down the street in a yankies cap and know­ nothing of the team buying a cap/shirt etc is different­ from supporting a team (the juventus club shop used to­ be the size of a garden shed i bet it's a lot­ bigger today)

victorckc ...... can you not see my point ..... again­ i'll try to get you to understand! I don't­ expect that a human being who knows anything about­ Football would start to support a team just because­ they are winning! It's taking the easy option.....­ you should be able to identify with your team , have a­ genuine reason to support them , don't just follow­ them because you don't like rejection!!!

Nice one fairy basher!! I just pretend they don't­ exist!

It is a great shame Wba have been relegated , kudos to­ Tony & the boys showed character , the fans were­ great too , having started my career at Wba I know how­ loyal the fans are. Tony will show his true character­ next season , I am sure Wba will arise again . I was­ looking forward to Wolves vs Wba , but that is not to­ be alas . Hard luck Wba & your fans .

bryjones thats a fine pic you have there!!! its a shame­ that people like Mike S are allowed laptops , but sure­ what can we do but laugh at his stupidity!

To all you imuture saddo's that seem to find­ themselves with nothing better to do then come on here­ and leave childish rants of just slag others off. GROW­ UP, GET SOME FRIENDS, GO OUT MORE. But no, you'll­ prob just slag me off, because that's your level of­ intellegence. But if you are reading this, SMEG OFF and­ let the real fans do the talking, you may just learn­ something.

Now I'd like to congratulate M U for­ the title. They have a winning mentality, and are used­ to been under pressure of being top.
But I'd like­ to point out, that Liverpool have beat them twice in­ the league this season, Liverpool have lost less games,­ and have a better goal difference.
Now I'm not just­ saying this because I support Liverpool, but because­ I'm a fan of all football, It's a shame arsenal­ didn't get a result against united cause that would­ have made a great end day of the season.
I'm not­ going to say Liverpool will win the title next year,­ hopefully we can keep up the pressure and have another­ challenge.

Also I'd just like to give credit to­ west Broms fans. How you acted today, cheering on you­ team. The ovation after the final whistle was heart­ warming. If only all fans could be like you, you're­ a credit to your team and each other.

Y.N.W.A.

FairyBasher, by reading your comment 761, obviously­ you're just a poor loser.....do you mean that­ Liverpool had fewer supporters than ManU??? Of­ course!!! What do you expect a windfall of new­ Liverpool supporters when Liverpool are playing so­ badly for the past 17 years???

Mike S is one of them people who hide behind a fake I.D­ or 2 or 3... ! Take no notice of him!
He is just a­ coward

MIKE S are you still here ???? That dog s h i t­ isn't gonna pick itself up off the streets!­ You're Community Service Officer will be furious­ !!!!!

tc5705 good point ! Their initial recognition did come­ from their appearances in Europe but not on the scale­ to which it exploded in the 90's . There was a Man­ U Store in nearly every city in the world by 2000­ surely you're not saying that supporters of losing­ teams don't also like to buy Jerseys and knick­ knacks from their sides!
The demand for these shops­ came from the fact that every NEW supporter was buying­ into the whole fad of supporting the current in form­ team. Take for example all the people that comment on­ here that can't even speak English properly ....­ What do you think they know of the history of their­ club?
