I've always had a soft spot for Liverpool as I lived there years ago but with the gloating today and "sleeping" supporters coming out of the woodwork, it pains me to say I'm starting to hope Liverpool get knocked out next round.

I seriously used to have a softspot for Spurs back in the day of Perryman, Ossie, RickiV, Hoddle then I joined this forum ...

i don't do gloating mate, never have. plus my dad's a city fan so i'm in a whole non-virtual world of non-gloating today. tried phoning him earlier today. no answer. got a text back simply saying "<deleted> off". and that's family. can't pick 'em.

You've got me interested fella.  Why wouldn't you follow your old man's team (SERIOUSLY bet he felt let down by you when you chose not to follow his beloved City)?

you have to draw the line somewhere man. united fans, gun advocates, tories. you can date anyone you like daughter as long as they don't fall into any of them three.

 

also hard to explain how livid my dad was when i played as a guest player in a testimonial match aged 16 and accidentally injured an already injury-prone paul lake in city's pre-season. i also nutmegged andy hinchcliffe in the same match so swings and roundabouts.

Wow shall have to pay you more respect in future.

People say to me; "Owl, you are a Londoner, why do you like The Reds?"

 

I tell them about the time I was at Spurs for a match up with Liverpool in the 1970s. " It was about 2pm. I was having a quiet pint in 'The Cock' and was just about to go to the ground when some noisy Liverpool fans burst into the pub. Followed by more Pool fans, and more. In the space of 10 minutes they had taken over the whole pub. They had a drummer and were singing songs that I'd never heard. I couldn't understand what they were all singing.

 

I was stuck in the corner. The supporters spotted me and started pointing and chanting. "Death to the cockney <---->." Then they sang 'You'll never walk alone'." Suddenly, at five minutes to three, they all left for the game, leaving me on my own. I thought <----> this. Don't want this again. So after the game I bought a red scarf and joined the supporters club. Has kept me safe ever since.

I'm very confused Owl. So are you a Spurs fan or another team.

North country boy means nothing to me.

 

Fair enough you don't want to say. Got you down mentally as Wigan or Widnes or Warrington boy, but not a scouser

 

Do we have ANY real scousers on here?

The clue suggests Northwich, understand how you wouldn’t get that B.B. 

 

There are no red scousers currently regularly on the thread. You should be able to tell by the cut of the jib.

Nope Northwich not on my radar. It's in wales right? All I know is its a bit posh and they have salt.

 

I'd been under the misapprehension for years you lot all born within spitting distance of Anfield

Oh right, I guess anywhere outside the M60 is not on your radar...

 

It’s never been a secret, none of us have hid the fact, we are all proud of where we came from. It’s been referenced many times on here.

I'm still interested. Guessing you were around 11 years old, Liverpool were still in that period of actually winning the league and City weren't winning anything when you chose Liverpool.

Another thing you might not know about satellite towns outside the M60 is they have equal amounts of City, United and Liverpool fans particularly in the areas between Merseyside and Greater Manchester.

Probably the best draw that.

Fancy this big time. An opportunity for salah to reinforce the bargain basement price they sold him for and a klopp v heynckes final to settle some scores.

Not according to Mo....who I assume knows more of their lads than you do.

All a matter of personal choice as to what team you support. I don't particularly care for those who swap teams periodically based on nothing other than them being current flavour of the month when there is no geographical match, but quite happy with those who choose a team early on in life even if no geographical match and then stick with it. I don't see why we should criticise someone for picking a top side and sticking with it if they live in a town that has only very low league stuff.

 

I'm somewhere in between. Doncaster, Carlisle United, Norwich + Ipswich, then Arsenal. All based on where I lived/colleged. I'm quite open to criticism on the Arsenal choice though, as I lived in South East London and decision of all the London teams was based on style and history but must have been tinged with their success as Spurs and Hammers would have equally qualified on style and history and have always had a bit if an affection for both. Never liked Chelsea, more because of their bovver boy image around the 80s/90s. I don't particularly dislike them any longer.
