Can you send me the link to "Liverpool fans (officially UEFAs worst fans in europe) ".......
considering we are not even the worst in England
http://www.thisisanfield.com/2012/02/man-united-fan-charged-with-racist-abuse/
Also can you show me the images of "Liverpool fans doing monkey impressions at Evra in images" i have only seen the one person who was charged for doing the "monkey impressions", can you show me the others...

Yes of course -
the worst fans in europe accolade for these 'fans' comes from a 20page dossier produced by UEFA with 25 incidents involving them since 2003 in europe. At the end it states they are undoubtably the worst fans in europe. I guess not official although produced by UEFA officials. They never change, think back to Heysel when, even before all the real trouble started from them, they waved banners happily with 'Munich 58' on in reference to that air tragedy. Then went on the rampage against innocent women and kids.
Even when they won the Champions League in 2005 there was approximately 3000 fans from that club in the ground without tickets who had broke their way into the ground.
The monkey images were all over the English papers, every one, as I own a newsagents and get to read them all!! You cannot seriously be trying to suggest Manchester fans are worse than scousers...racist abuse is more widespread in the English game than it likes to admit though.

sgt_pepper · Mar 1, 2012

/\/\ theres obviously nothing official, but its pretty well known that the scousers are at least one of the worst in europe, let alone england...

wow. parker named england captain. not a bad choice, but with so many former captains playing in the same squad, im not sure he's the best man for the job. i doubt he'll still be no.1 come euros...

reina just had a commercial in spain pulled off the air for being 'racist and homophobic'. ive seen the ad and think its just PC gone mad. i dislike the dirty scousers as much as the next bloke, but this is just over the top.

http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/s...lames-chelsea-for-striker's-poor-form?cc=3436

hes got a little point, but how does he explain his poor form at the end of his 'pool career? in fact hes had one really good season in england and one pretty good one and the rest have been mediocre. injuries are part of it, but if you cant keep fit then this isnt the league for you.
this bad form has gone on so long i wouldnt even consider it bad anymore. its just his normal form now. dude needs to get back to spain...

AyiosYiorgos · Mar 4, 2012

umm when did i say ManU supporters are worse?, you go on about a report, thats official, but now not official and send no link... can you send me a link to all the monkey images, it's only been reported that one person was charged, you see it's very easy to make a claim, but not one link, so until you can send me a link don't bother replying with your "facts"..
See im a Liverpool supporter and i know that they have ratbag supporters, like all OTHER clubs including Juventus, but they also have good supporters, yesterdays game against Arsenal, when Mikel Arteta got knocked out, when he was streched off, there was thunderous applause, by Liverpool supporters, considering he played for Everton he was applauded and im sure a few boo's as well not that they could be heard.. With Munich58, yes bad / wrong/disgusting, same as Hillsborough, Do you think ManU supporters and others have not said anything about that?... I would say racism is worse in other countries, when bananas are thrown and monkey noises are made from the Slavic countries/ Greece and all other European countries against black players...

How do you compare Millwall fans in your opinion??
At least your transparent for your hatred of Liverpool and can see the Reina was just stupidity, these days it's very easy to label an innocent person racist...

How did that one pay out for you Jeff?

Only put $10 on it. Was looking good at 2-0 for Spurs. Gooners found a way back from the brink, so credit for them. Should've put money on them against pool, good odds. Oh well, live and learn

AyiosYiorgos · Mar 4, 2012

Better team lost, unfortunatly our last pass or kick was off, can't even score from a penalty, RVP had 2 chances and scored with both, we had15 chances and scored nothing, an own goal only, must say thought Arsenal would struggle to make the top4, even top6 at the start with losing Cesc and Sami, but RVP has been sensational....

Arsenal really had an off day, our quality counted for more in the end though. Liverpool dominated possesion but didn't do a great deal with it. Great ball by Song to see RVP in for the winner, which was a cracker. Arsenals worse start to a season in over 50 years, thought we'd struggle for 4th as well. Definitely up for 3rd now too, hopefully United turn Sp*rs over later.

yeah, ive said before, i believe millwall fans are the worst in england, but thats in general and not only to do with racism. england fans are as bad as anywhere else in europe tho. theres been bananas etc thrown at players over there aswell. i will say tho that the scousers do get in alot of trouble in uefa comps. the heysel disaster for one. 'pool fans responsible for 30 odd deaths. post and pre-match player and fan abuse. stealing tickets from kids.
im pretty sure the report juveFC is reffering to was retracted by uefa not long after it was announced tho. it was a misqoute.
pretty unlucky not to get at least some result from the game last nite. happy with how it turned out, but gotta give them credit for dominating. was it a penalty? i couldnt tell if there was actually contact? looked like the slightest touch...

also, i dont hate liverpool. i just dislike them at the moment (or for the last 20 years). theyve lost it. used to be one of my fave teams in the early 90s. robbie fowler is still one of my fave players of all time.if they started to play nice football, got some players in that i enjoy watching and pick a decent manager, id lay off them.
only team i hate is...take a guess.

rishgoon · Mar 4, 2012

No penalty. Slight contact possibly, but Suarez was already in dive mode. Great save Szczesny though.

without RVP your boys would be lucky to be mid table. the overall quality is gone. time to clear house a bit i think.
tho you have been unlucky with injuries. again. but even with a fully fit back line theyd struggle defensively. good to see diaby back, but did he get injured again last nite?!
