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...

Apologies didnt want to start a massive debate...
Totally agree with your points about Arteta and Liverpool having some supporters who are normal genuine fans like yourself. Each team does have a minority of bad fans, just Liverpool more than any other in regards to racism in ENGLAND. If we are talking europe that DEFINATELY includes Juve (I can tell from personal experience) in that having 'ratbag' supporters especially with regards to racism, thinking about it all of Italia for that matter, take for example the abuse Juan from Roma received from Lazio ultras last weekend. Its difficult to explain to people not live at games as a lot of songs from the crowds are dubbed out for television audiences round the globe ie the ten german bombers England song about Germans by England national fans for one...!!

The report I mentioned had to be retracted by UEFA after Platini decided it was not in the best interests to publish that naming and blaming one club, Im sure you can easily find it if you search on google!! We all know Platini's views on English football and Liverpool in particular though and you can understand that...
Personally I dont have anything against scousers, although Im not black. I think the image the club has portrayed itself in its response to the Adeyami and Evra incidents is very poor though.

As for Millwall being worse than Liverpool, thats a very easy question to answer IMO. Liverpool fans on average are a lot more racist for obvious geographical reasons in England compared to the Bushwackers, while Millwall fans are more the 'stereotypical' hooligans who would have Liverpool without any trouble as most other firms. Only the ICF and Leeds fans would be able to compete with them outside the ground for that accolade.

looks like podolski to arsenal for 11mill could be happening. great move. and still pretty cheap...

rishgoon · Mar 8, 2012

Yep, it's a good price I think, and a great signal of intent from the club.

JuveFC · Mar 9, 2012

fantastic signing...4 year contract as well (Â£100k a week). dare I say it...replacing Van Persie after Arsenal have let his contract run down...? hope not, would be a good strike force together.
Mancini has also stated he believes Van Persie will stay this summer at Arsenal rather than joining Manchester City. The Arsenal board really need to renew his contract asap though.

What a joke. 2 of the officials out on OT today should be benched.
The referee has been appalling all night, sat on his whistle and wasn't letting the game flow, so frustrating, then he gives Bilbao a freekick in their own half after Evra lost his boot, with United on the edge of the box with a 50/50 chance of scoring, then shortly after the freekick they score. The linesman missed a clear offside that led to their goal, it's not bloody good enough. Not happy with the officials BUT United have played bad football tonight. Time to focus on the Premier League now.

ljandkg · Mar 12, 2012

Didn't Evra pass the ball with his boot off to keep play going? Why didn't he kick it out?

City were poor today vs Swansea. Seems to be when we're off we lose 1-0, when the rags are off they find a way to win... could well be the difference this year

ooneil · Mar 12, 2012

Well the next five games are very interesting. Man U certainly has the easier run. What does everyone else think.

Stoke - A
Sunderland - H
Arsenal - A

ljandkg · Mar 12, 2012

For sure...the loss this morning hurts. I'm hoping a great performance at home vs the Chavs will kick us into a good run of form. We could do with banging in 4 or 5!

ooneil · Mar 12, 2012

Will be a tough game for you. They seems pretty re-energised with Di matteo taking over.

rishgoon · Mar 12, 2012

mmm looking a lot like United now, plenty of time left though. I think City will give Chelsea a nice touch up, they haven't been that crash hot the last couple. Maybe wishful thinking though on my part...

Warney · Mar 12, 2012

How about Wolves. They have gotten even worse after sacking McCarthy. Such a pity.

rishgoon · Mar 13, 2012

A great shame we had our worst start to a season in 50+ years

Agreed - I liked McCarthy - he did a pretty damn good job with a very average team - they're being shown up now...

A bit like Hodgson with another very average team at the start of last season...

ljandkg · Mar 14, 2012

Lol! They went alright today....

The whole football community have come out to send prayers and thoughts to Muamba and his family after news circulated.

ooneil · Mar 18, 2012

That's pretty hardcore.......hope the guy is okay.

Warney · Mar 18, 2012

Absolutely shocking. Hope he is ok. I admire the respect Spurs players showed towards the whole incident..
