Cowshed or Kop end?

Pigshed, as it was known back then.

This forum used to be 90% spurs and I hated it. Now it's 90% lfc and it's worse. Can I just say if you don't come from a place you don't really support the team. That's just a fact. You have no attachment, just imagination and role play. Oh your dad supports them or something? Great way to support your dad but the team mean nothing and you mean nothing to the team.

Id love to know the counter argument to this and can't wait for the Liverpool team to get vaporised by a lazer


(metaphorically  )

There's a chap on the WSC forum that lost his shit when his team Man Utd hired Mourinho, going on about how his club was now dead.  Of course, this guy is from nowhere near Old Trafford and bangs on all the time about the one time he did see them live at Villa Park, so the rant about Mourinho basically came across as him cosplaying other fans on the forum who had genuinely lost their clubs (Stockport, Hereford, etc).  The whole thing came across like a child getting upset that his least favourite WWF wrestler had joined his favourite wrestler group.

That guy! His Brexit posts are even worse than his Man Utd ones.

(There's a chance he lurks on here as a few WSC posters do. Hope he does.)

He was right though?

In fairness, he was fortunate enough to have visited Villa Park. Didn't know how lucky he was.

Passively watching a team from miles away on a screen once or twice a week doesn't make them 'his' club; he only consumes the football product rather than engaging in a community centred around a football team, so it comes across as quite grating when he declared 'his' club was dead after they hired an arsehole for a manager.  Of course it has no practical effect on this fan's life - he'd merely be swapping the passive watching of one team for another (or none).

I hope so too, he's a very odd chap.  He seems to get worked up very easily and everyone who slightly irks him is a cunt, apparently.

[mr. logic]

He also has an incredibly frustrating habit of lecturing fans of other clubs about how they should feel about whatever is going on with them at the given time.

'Newcastle fans need to accept...'
'Wolves fans should...'

Like he has any sort of superiority or right to order others about on the basis that he chose the best football team to support. (Before swiftly finding a reason to abandon them when they turned shit for a little bit.)

The way this weekend is going sport-wise, not only will Chelsea win the league cup 7-0 but a stray ball will clear the stadium and demolish one side of the new Spurs ground.

[ToneLa]

Puel flushed!

[Blinder Data]

Would not be unhappy if they take Brendan at the end of the season. Trebles are great obvs but I long for goalless draws away in Europe and the Brodge seems incapable of that

You edited it. I didn't want to see the letters MVP on a Sunday.

"That match was rubbish, wasn't it."

My girlfriend doesn't often comment on football but, when she does, she's generally right.

[imitationleather]

That game was an assault on the senses.

[BlodwynPig]

Fucking ruins my preddo of United getting the title now too.

[ToneLa]

Was funny in a crash-bang-wallop kind of way. Sloppy and strange, not brilliant football, just generally a directionless fracas despite the ultimate success by the end of the game.

But that's Arsenal for you

Puel flushed!

Come on it was only a draw

If Kepa doesn't save every penalty he's dead.

He's dead

That Agurero one was a shocking miss.

Luiz is smiling knowing full well Jorgehino and the keeper will take all the flak before he does
