KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum We have improved the most since last year .

ok have liverpool improved yes probaly justy about deserved to beat newcastle but skrtel's clearence was massive turning point in the game , and liverpool's best players were not the awful andy carroll , charlie adam , or henderson , it free transfer bellamy steven gerrard and martin skrtel .

It is very fashionable for people outside the area where a football club is based to pick football teams to support especialy english ones, I am not saying anything out of the ordinary there.

That's not necessarily true, especially where I'm from. I live in the southern part of the United States where baseball and American football reign supreme. I get laughed at when I tell people I'm a fan of English footy, but I don't care. I watch it because I love the game and I love the team.

Is that what you call it, fasionable?

I'll give you a tip, stop steriotyping and rounding everyone who doesn't agree with you into a group, because at the end of the day, you don't have a clue why someone might support a club.

So in other words you DO believe that attending games make you a more intelligent commentator? Wow....

Fashionable? Liverpool haven't been 'fashionable' since Sky bought football. You're a bit late making OOT comments like this.

yes i do, I think a person who actualy attends games will always have a stronger argument if you like than somebody who does'nt, bit like someone who actualy does the job having a better understanding of how a job works than someone who reads about it or watches it being done on the telly if you like

OK, but the difference here is that you are watching the game either it's from the sideline or in front of the TV.

You're not actually playing the game out on the pitch either way, are you?

When I watch PL games from the sofa at home I often stop the game and rewind to see it all again when something interesting happens - like a marvellous free kick or a last minute clearance (like Skrtel's last night).

So my point is that it doesn't have to be a more educating experience to watch the game live.

The difference is not as big as between watching a craftsman do his job and actually do it yourself.

not a problem, we can just agree to disagree over that one, it's what a forum is all about afterall.

What a load of bollx. You're watching the game just as much as anyone - that gives you no greater opportunity to gain tactical insight than someone who has slow-motion replays at his beck and call. You also have a fixed viewpoint, most likely along the length of the pitch - being 100 yards from the action at the far goal doesn't afford you much of a view of the finer points of the action.

You're basing your opinion on the fact that because you pay the gate you're a "different level" of supporter, some kind of "elite" because you go to the ground. How difficult it must be for you to accept that all supporters are the same.
