Barcelona are in a league of their own, Real just has some expensive players, Barca could outplay them easily

agree.

i have suported LFC since the days of Craig Johnston (being an Aussie and all)

Real in Spain, Marseille in France and Bayern Munich in Germany.

What irks me is all the people ho simply support the winners - to me being a supporter is backing your team through thick and thin, wins and losses......just look at the massive fan base Man U has these days, all the kids follow the winner, its just that Man U have been THAT GOOD since the 90's (and LFC prior to the 90's BTW)

See, it's great being a supporter of a little team. We all know we're crap but we're just waiting for our bounce back, should be this season hopefully!

Best part is the fact that when we finally got to the final me and my Uncle got 2 tickets to Wembley for £45, ten rows back from the edge of the box. Never get that with the bigger clubs!

Us Middlesbrough fans have been waiting for that since 2005.

You chose (one of) the best teams of UK, Spain, France and Germany... You are the prototype of a fan who supports winner teams!
In Germany we call that "Jubelfan" ("jubilation-fan": supporting winner teams so you can jubilate as often as possible) :-P

Forseti - I'm in my mid 30's, have been a fotball supporter since the early 80's and have never waivered on the teams I support, even through their dark days. Marseilles has not done well in France. Liverpool has not won since the 90's (and i still pay my membership every year). Real have been great through the ages but saw their won dark days in the 80's, i basicallt started tosuppor tthem because of thier history not thier current (then) results and I've always had a soft spot for Munish as the german exchange student at school was a little hottie (and I got to kiss her at the school dance)

THAT is some kind of reason I can accept without qualification!

[R.S.Jake]

Hi all, I'm back after a year hiatus! I see a few greybeards, and a lot of new faces!

Good to see you back Jake.

We've been going through 'hayseed withdrawal' for far too long. Had to use Canuckians to get our fix
- not the same.

Thanks Ice! I know that using Canuks for your Hayseed Fix will only work for so long, I think it's the exchange rate!

Anyway, you still keepin' it real?

[Haarakkon]

Well, "neighbors" bein' a relative term, of course. I'm 5 hours to the Wyoming border, 5 hours to Idaho, 8 hours to North Dakota and 2 hours to Alberta. In the summer. Without road construction. How 'bout you, Jake?

I think I know where you are, it sounds like you're near the Air Force Base, I am about an hour and a half from Idaho, if we go over Lookout Pass, or Lolo Pass, but longer if we go South, I haven't gone to the other places...at least not since I moved here.

Yup, pretty much smack in the middle of the "Bible Belt". Got plenty of relatives over your way, though.

Nice! I like it here, mountains, rivers, what's not to love? A bunch of us go East, just North of the Ft. Peck Reservoir during Hunting Season, very flat and not many trees. Kinda ugly, but there are so many deer, we call it "shooting" instead of "hunting"!

[caveman]

Well i'm caveman, Currently going to uni in Bathurst (australia)

So expect me to bring some drunken wit to the table

P.S go Liverpool
