It's just sour grapes from other fans who support success starved teams in the coco-pops championship ;)
Supporting a club is hereditary. It passes down through the family tree. Someone chooses to support a club. They then take their offspring to watch their team, who in turn, take their offspring to watch the same team as the years go on. Often, a fan has no choice but to support x team, as it's passed down through the generations.Quote:

Well anto, I don't know of any glory hunters like that. All of my friends and everyone I know who support Liverpool have been doing so for as long as I know them. The homecoming would have brought whole families out to see it (plus a lot of curious Evertonians...."Look, it's the European Cup (gasp!, sigh!)" :D ) which would have swelled the crowds. Liverpudlians are entitled to feel a part of any success, whether they go to the games or not. In any case, Liverpool have filled the ground most weeks since the fan card and PTS ticket scheme was introduced. I know because I can't get bloody tickets

You never see Milan derbies or Real-Barca games kicking off at that time do you?? Because that's lunch-time, not match time. :mad:Quote:

It really is true. Even Irish blues are as bitter as their bluenose cousins.

In 1981, we beat them 6-1 on aggregate on the way to winning the European Cup, however, they won 2-0 in the Sofia snow to win 2-1 on aggregate in the same competition the following year. It certainly won't be snowing there this time, but with the second leg at home, it should ease any difficulties that we may face against them this time.
Yes, all the hype about getting into the Champions League and then they go out after 2 games. Unlucky though to be drawn against the strongest team left in the qualifiers. The Hungarians Man U played were brutal. They had been puffed up by Ray and Johnny G because they had beaten Hadujk Split - didn't Shels do them over last year ?
