You mean the same gunner that lost 2-0 against a vastly superior Bayner Munich? Same gunners that wasted a penalty kick? Yeah - go Arsenal -- downhillhill and into reverse with you well-spent £40mill
Outnumbered it was hard. I couldn't believe it, that they raised the pace in a free kick and earned a counterattack right before the 0-2. They had to play a slowly 0-1. That should have been their best possible result... I'm sorry for you
I'm not really neutral, it's just that I live in Luton, and I believe in 'supporting' your home town, just not an awful lot to get excited about that's all... but look on the bright side, we might get out of the 'thrilling' conference 'Premier' and back to the heady days of proper league football!!! maybe.
I just love Munich and hoped for the gunners to conquer them in the most spectacular way. Without the red card your chances would have been real good, in my eyes. And Arsenal doesn't deserve to be defeated in that way. They were good until that. And I hope for their comeback at the return.
From the English teams, I guess, I sympathize most with the gunners, yes. I have no connection to the other teams and I like the way Arsenal plays.
I've been there with my home team from Germany, Borussia Dortmund. Maybe ten years ago. We lost 0-2 if I remind right.
The old stadium was just awesome. I remember when a friend and I went through that small estate, and those narrow streets. I just thought: where the hell are we? Our match couldn't be here. Then we walked between some buildings, entered through a small steel gate and were standing in the Highbury. We could see the grass flying when our goalie Lehmann, who changed to Arsenal later, shot the ball out of the box.
Today's stadiums are lying on huge concrete deserts. I watch out how much the ticket was, if I'll find it.
Ok. Too much off topic. The championship must been amazing for you this year.
Another offtopic. Dortmund got an old connection to Liverpool. Maybe coming from 1960's. We even sing You'll never walk along before our games. Unfortunately we don't get Liverpool for a long time.
I suppose I'm the OOT ( Out Of Towner) as I live miles away from the club but it's a love that will never die. Short story told long: I went on a family holiday, Walten On The Naze, I think, went to a shop/store. Really liked a red and yellow pen with Liverpool FC on it. My Mum or Dad brought it for me, so I supported them, no idea about football at the time. Didn't care for it at all.
Half term finished. Went back to school. Everyone was asking about footy. I had no clue, just said Liverpool. They said "Wow, they are the best team in the world!" or something. I do remember, my best mate at primary was a Man Utd fan. He actually looks like Ferguson, now I think about it.
So one summer day, I'm at home, watching the box. I have a mass craving for football. I have no idea where this came from. It was just " I NEED FOOTBALL". I'd always thought it boring, some crap my Dad would stay tuned to the TV to when he got the football results in to check his pools coupon. WHICH MEANT EVERYONE HAD TO BE QUIET. No Sky Sports here, this was a dramatic run down of scorelines which had my Dad glued to this ancient box of a television. Remember when channel four just emerged? No such things as remotes! You had to push in the button on the damn TV!
We had that fricking thing for ages. Somehow got a VHS player connected to it. A monster of a TV set.
I dug a game of footy that ended 0-0. Just loved it. Craved it. Watched Liverpool on TV for the first time. So excited. No idea what the hell it was, what competition, nothing. I didn't even know what the competitions were! Liverpool! On TV? I must see this!
So we were beating Kussisi Lahti of Finland 2-1 at half time in a UEFA Cup tie. My Dad came home from work, said the score was "Dodgy" or words to those extent. I didnt get it. "We're winning". "Not really." "What?" Explaining the aggregate away goals rule to the inexperienced can be a little more than difficult I guess. I was gonna make a cheap sexist joke there but...
Get to the point!
Liverpool won 6-1, I fell in love with the club through books, VHS' and eventually going up to the place. I have cried when we lost, sad though that is, and cried in joy when we have won. It's just a feeling you have, I have no idea why it IS, it just IS.
My first game at Anfield was paid by my late grandmother, so me and my Dad could afford to go to Liverpool for the first time. We won 4-1. Ticket said obstructed view but it was a great view! Ian Rush scored a record breaking goal in the last minite,
We went loads of times after that - hooked! - although Liverpool were shite compared to their previous, it was still amazing to go and see them. My Dad, A Luton fan, would always take me there if he could afford it.
We stood in the Kop in the 0-2 against Newcastle, which was gutting, but the pressure was on as the stand was to be demolished after the next game. It's horrible to lose but I suppose the consolation is at least I got to stand there and shout my support until I couldn't speak no more.
So yeah, sorry for warbling on, bit tipsy, and all that but I think I have cursed Liverpool. Ever since I supported them, they have shot from 2nd to lower!
Although we have had some amazing times. But the league is what counts!
I'm not really neutral, it's just that I live in Luton, and I believe in 'supporting' your home town
The mighty Luton, I remember the old astro pitch you guys had... horrible due to N Ireland politics I never had a home team growing up until 5 years after I supported Liverpool. Nearly every football fan in Ireland in either Liverpool or Utd... or Celtic and Rangers My family was huge Liverpool fans since the 60's so I couldn't avoid it.

I love German football, Bayern are unstoppable right now. Dortmund ran them a good match in the final last year, you also have a great team... although Bayern bought all your best players.
I also like to see Bayern Leverkusen do well due to Sami Hyypia(former Liverpool great).

It's called "passion"... being there and still am. Great story Scoob, loving the UTD downfall right now
