They have an immense wealth of young, talented attackers. If the club ever gains any sort of stability and a manager that can last for more than a few seasons we'd see a very, very strong Chelsea side.

We can dream.
Edit: I know absolutely nothing about Schurrle. So can add nothing to this conversation. Is he top notch?
I find it funny when you hear the tannoy at everton telling away fans to sit down, the three times ive been there we were encouraged to stand by the stewards. I guess it isnt the done thing now.
And that's the problem, treat people like criminals and suddenly a minority of them will behave that way. If you're a young, impressionable man travelling the country with your mates, getting boozed up, and then the police are herding you places, filming you, watching you like you're about to do something they can arrest you for, you're infected by the idea.
I'm sure there are a small group of away fans in most clubs who love that feeling. For the majority though it's ridiculous, and they just want to go and watch the match with their family and friends. It's a lot better now, and it'll keep improving thanks to initiatives like FSF, but when it was really bad (before I ever went to matches) you wouldn't want to take your kids, would you.
Yeah don't think i've ever been asked to sit at an away game. Didn't even see a steward in Newcastle.
I think he's a very good player. Probably not quite as good as Mata or Hazard though. Bundesliga fans have probably seen him play more than I have.

I'm not just talking out of my ass here. Anfield is the loudest.
Yeah maybe when the tannoy is belting out YNWA
Back when Hixx was still on my Steam list, I told him we should merge to form Tyne-Wear United with a 90k capacity stadium. We'd win the league every season.

Also, 3 separate occasions? Is that it? What were the fixtures? That's pretty important haha
Man United and Everton must be 2.
Everton away is one of the shittest days out in the league. The ground is a shit tip, the views are horrendous and they don't serve any alcohol. Despite being sponsored by a lager. Despite the fridges on the counters being jam packed with said lager.
And we always get beat.

Wut?
I wouldn't expect many people on GAF to know much about the GN.
But I did like you're "help me win money" thread.
im taking the piss
Jesus Christ. And how about all the other teams who were measured? They didn't just measure Liverpool. Apparently www.fanchants.com did it. I'm not sure why people are surprised - the loudest fans are exactly the teams you'd expect them to be. Liverpool, United, Aston Villa, Everton, West Ham, Newcastle, Stoke. The quieter teams are who you'd expect as well. Arsenal, Wigan, Wolves, etc.
oh god thank you football i love you
Don't know how people can hate John Terry. Honestly. He's perfect.

15 years I've probably been doing it, never won once. Even when I was a kid and was only given the Each Way option.
The atmosphere against Real Madrid has got to be one of the best I've seen and heard in years, and that was just through the TV. Horrifically envious of anyone who was actually there, regardless of the result in the end.
As far as games I've attended, the second leg of the Carling Cup semi against City a few years ago was brilliant. Green and Gold (as futile as it ended up being) was in full swing, City just starting to become a moderate threat and Tevez chatting a load of shit all contributed to it in parts but it really was brilliant.
This one wasn't too bad either but I was stuck up in the nosebleeds for it where I was in the Stretford end for the City game:
Gutting that I haven't been able to get to a game since the 8-2.

How was this eight years ago?
One of those moments when you really feel old, and I aint even 21. Remember munching through four Kiplings lemon slices that match. My mum had to take the box away from me.
City semi-final at Anfield second leg in the Carling Cup was one of my favourites, too. Back of the Kop, Kenny taking us to Wembley, day of my last January exam. All my course mates were going out that night but I was off to the match, and I have to say on the way to the ground I was a bit envious of them going out. Then it all happened. Class atmosphere, we beat them, Kenny took us to the final.
Sublime.

That ones old i think mate, they do these most seasons.
Always loved JT and ARRY, hahaha.
I was lucky enough to be in the Stretford End for that league cup semi against City.
When Rooney scored somebody kicked me in the back and I nearly fell over the front of rhe stand.
That was so awesome
3 late winners against City that season. Glorious.
I remember watching videos of Owen's winner in the 4-3 every day for about a month after it happened.
"It's Giggs... Who's placed one for Michael Owen!"
Chills.
JM7 should reinvent himself as a space investigator.
That's an interesting discussion in itself actually. Can a player be taught how to make space for others or does it come naturally to him?

so LFC GAF, do you want carroll back?
i thought the original loan deal said we'd get 17m for him if west ham stayed up, which i'd take in a heartbeat

Can definitely be taught.
Good coaching is all about getting players into the right spaces.
Nope, he'll never fit the way we want to play.
Watching Rodgers press conference now, doesn't sound like he's itching to bring him back.

Just imagine Mancini barking at him in his most spangly Italian about embodying the space investigator role. And then JM7 nodding like a dog whilst sipping a travel size bottle of Evian.

Mancini - "It's not a true table".
FFS. We better beat these mugs on Monday.
I already have my silver lining for defeat though. Chance of Mancini staying on increases.

I just have images in my head of JM7 running around in circles endlessly in the least effective manner possible, while the coaches applaud him for working so hard.
"Top space investigation" one will utter to another.
We probably won't and Mancini will take a moral victory from it.
City players want to do everything they can to try and beat us this season.
It's going to be a really tough game.
Obviously.
The amount of youngsters that just fall by the wayside in Italy is pretty disheartening. Hopefully this helps.
Delusional cunt. Hope we tonk them. But if we don't then we'll only win the title by 12 points sob

At least Adidas rubbished that other blue and yellow mess. Not to bothered about this one either.

I'm not confident about Monday. Our form is pretty poor right now and I think we'll struggle to get a draw. Luckily it doesn't actually matter.
