I'm actually pretty fond of Liverpool, too, mainly because I had so much fun watching them in the Champions League that year.Flophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03494943743188235344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11661639.post-22326646923977240142007-03-24T20:41:00.000-04:002007-03-24T20:41:00.000-04:00I saw that game too, it was fantastic.

I managed to miss the opening 20-or-so minutes and therefore saw from when reading were down and out, and watched them scrimp and scrape back into the game and eventually come out fighting, heads held high. Reminded me a lot of the team I support, the mighty Liverpool, and their exploits in the Champion's league 2 seasons ago (Winning the final in Istanbul from 3-0 down against Italians AC Milan. and the FA cup last season, coming back from 3-0 down again to win on penalties against West Ham in possibly the best football match I've seen. Ever.<BR/>Anyway, I know this is like... the oldest forum post ever, But I loved the last sentence of the whole post<BR/><BR/>"And now I really, really hate Manchester United."<BR/><BR/>I just liked the way you summed up every single English football fan on the planet (Excepting the Man U scum themselves.), after watching a single game, in one sentence.

Some who even post/blog here mock me for liking some sports and hating others (i.e. i can't stand NBA basketball) but love watching a good hockey or lacrosse match up. I guess i'm just un-american.<BR/><BR/>Mock if you like, but there's nothing wrong with liking soccer.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03171098083564800961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11661639.post-81589329288893541842007-03-01T10:30:00.000-05:002007-03-01T10:30:00.000-05:00This post bored me fiercely.

This typically leads to me being rudely awakened at seven and again at eight on Sunday mornings (as the messages are live), unless I had the drunken wherewithal to turn my phone off the night before. <BR/><BR/>Therefore, my soccer fandom is way dorkier than yours. And I use text messaging, so my wireless phone habits are way dorkier than Crimenotes'. <BR/><BR/>Now I feel depressed, because you guys are so much less dorky than me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11661639.post-13060171413084218692007-02-28T17:04:00.000-05:002007-02-28T17:04:00.000-05:00As long as I can make a difference with just one p...As long as I can make a difference with just one person out there ...Flophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03494943743188235344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11661639.post-89138358798076734262007-02-28T17:02:00.000-05:002007-02-28T17:02:00.000-05:00I didn't read this whole thing but I do love pickl...I didn't read this whole thing but I do love pickled okra.Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10887477236313591233noreply@blogger.com
