Yeah Fuck Liverpool!

Apparently the deal for The Sig is still on. Garry Monk is liaising with the player on the club's behalf.

May i ask why Liverpool is hated so much? Besides the recent Suarez incident.

Click to expand...

Some may go back to jealously of the 70s and 80s Liverpool teams and possibly also the aftermath of Heysel which saw English clubs banned from European competition, which would certainly have pissed off some teams who had qualified for Europe during that peroid.

But I was born in 1990 and thus have never seen Liverpool win a title. My loathing towards Liverpool comes from the arrogance and inflated ego the club has and the general cuntery attitude of their fans, best illustrated a the treatment of Roy Hodgeson and Patrice Evra.The Suarez affair including Kenny Dagleish's conduct and statements made by the club have been appalling. The way the affair was handled was a disgrace and I can understand why people felt offended about it.

And lastly the way the way they've gone about replacing KD has been highly disruptive to Swansea and Wigan, trying to approach managers at clubs within a week was amateurish. They've gone about it poorly, you identify your target and go for him. Not the bastard way they've gone about it. There's a right way and a fucking stupid way, to do things. They've done the latter

Yes I agree that the way they have been doing things recently is very dissapointing. I'm a Liverpool fan, but the way things have been done recently is just horrible.Dalgish's handling of the Suarez situation was even more dissapointing... I thought he was better than that. Even so imo they should have given Dalglish another season to build from season gone even though league form was quite shit. I really don't like changing managers so often... and really hoped Rodgers would stay with Swansea because they were really impressive, a great side imo.

Dalgish is a shit manager.End of. He hasn't done anything deserving praise since 1995. He took a Newcastle team which had finished 2nd to 13th within one season. He was next responsible for the Daglish-Barnes 'dream' team at Celtic. A shit manager who doesn't deserve another chance in management.

In Swansea news, we're getting £7 million for Rodgers and the backroom staff, the scouse scum have ~~tapped up~~ appointed. Not bad for someone who couldn't get an interview at League One sides two years ago. Anyhows I;ve revised my opinion of Rodgers. I wish him good luck because he's going to need it. He's being tasked with building a football club and he's certainly hasn't done that before.

I hope that you'll be cheering for England in the Euros.

It's like you can't disagree with me.

And

If you give me a reason why I should maybe I would. Or even better why it is even relevant to the subject.

Here's a very good reason, your're quite happy to reap the benefits that the the English Prem awards to you, but your not willing to support the country's team that gives you these benefits and instead do the complete opposite, and whats worse you do it with a passion. And to be quite honest, I'm finding it quite funny reading your cry baby rants, over your once beloved manager and his decision to better himself. I'm quite looking forward to Swansea City decline and hopeful relegation next season.

Where I have mentioned the England team? And also it's isn't the English Premiership. It's the Barclays Premier League. And we've earned our place by playing through the leagues with our small budget.

I'm not disappointed by he departure. I'm disappointed in the manner and conduct of his departure in relation to Rodgers and Liverpool. If we decline so be it. We've been through worse and relegation from the Premier league won't bother me too much. Even than we have a developed footballing structure and Rodgers wasn't responsible for that, we'll be fine no matter what happens. All you've done is reinforce why Liverpool and their fans are disliked.

Well, Mexico just won the Toulon tournament, not that important but it's nice winning a tournament with teams like France and Netherlands in it.

Only an Arsenal fan could care about winning frivolous tournaments

Hey I was speaking as a Mexico fan

Although we don't win anything either, so it's probably the same

Gameday, in a few hours kick-off at Wembley, England vs Belgium.....
Can't wait

Also, apparently the English hotel waked our players up at 4.30 AM. Really?! Real polite and professional, thank you

Shinigami357 · Jun 2, 2012

Heard it finished 1-0. Welbeck the scorer.

Cool.

Yeah, pretty boring game to be honest, in the second half finally some chances for Belgium but we didn't deserve to win. Maybe a goal but England was just the better/more mature team.
Sweet goal from Welbeck too (assist from Young), nice finish. Looking forward to his Euro perfomance.....

But that goal wouldn't have happened if Kompany did play, he was uncertain and asked himself to be benched. Shame really, with him we could have played 0-0.

Rio Ferdinand ‏@rioferdy5
What reasons?????!!!

Seen it too, but wtf is he talking about?

BTW, did you watch the match?
Apparently Cahill can't go to Euro 2012 now because of that push of Mertens, that's a shame.... Didn't think it was so serious.

Rio was left out of the England squad for 'footballing reasons.' Kelly replacing him seems to insinuate, Ferdinand is being left for none footballing reasons i.e. Terry's trial for allegedly racially abusing his brother. Let's be blunt, Kelly is pretty meh as a player.

I was planning to, but I ended up having to take care of my niece and nephew. From what I've heard, I can't I'm sorry to have missed it.
