Hey, we're not all scum up here! Just Manchester, and most of Sheffield.

well thats just lovely that.

The Scouse are fine people. Out of my own experience I say.

Why do people from the north of England take the phrase "The Northern Scum" so personally? It's capitalised for a reason, you know, it's a term of disaffection for a particular football club, whose name I cannot bring myself to utter, and its fans. It's no different to describing another team, from the north-east, as The Smog Monsters.

For the record, Liverpudlians, individually, are, indeed, fine people. En masse, wearing red shirts, they are Scouse Bastards.

true. very true.

haha we've the same thing here, Nortenhos... Tripeiros!


yey, cant wait to see all those chels - manu matches.

PFA player of the year nominations:

Didier Drogba (Chelsea)
Cristiano Ronaldo (Northern Scum)
Wayne Rooney (Northern Scum)
Ryan Giggs (Northern Scum)
Paul Scholes (Northern Scum)
Steven Gerrard (Scouse Bastards)
Cesc Fabregas (North London Scum)

I don't know why they bother going through the charade of having nominations, it's a foregone conculsion that Ronaldo will sweep the board as far as player of the year awards is concerned. As a footballer, he gets right on my tits, the arrogant little son-of-a, but there's no denying that he's been far and away the premiership's best player this year.

They should do a Goalie of the Year award as well though.

he wins that too?

and he's a winger!

I wonder if Liverpool can manage a win against Chelsea.

ESPN2 has been televising some of the UEFA Championship matches.

Well, Liverpool are losing so far in this first leg against Chelsea.

We've done this before, though, so all hope is not lost..

He's here
He's there
He's everyfuckingwhere
Joey Cole!
Joey Cole!

Roll on next Tuesday.

I'm sad, I'm a Liverpool supporter. But it was a totally different game in the second half, there's still hope.

me too.

:mad: You're not my friends any more.

And if I say that this was feckin funny, can we still make a deal? :D

"Didier Drogba (Chelsea)
Cristiano Ronaldo (Northern Scum)

Okay, _slavo_, I'll be your friend. But not nicfit's.

Ha! Diplomacy has always been my virtue.

We'll be sending you postcards from Aruba, Nicfit, where we'll go on holiday with sonicl.

I'm hoping to go to Athens for my holiday this year, during the week of 23rd May! :D

I think that Liverpool could leave in reasonable heart because Chelsea neglected to pound home the advantage. That is an intermittent fault in Jose Mourinho's team, who had also failed to kill off Blackburn Rovers in the FA Cup and so subjected themselves to extra-time. The weakness highlights the absence of a predator, despite the £30m expended on Andriy Shevchenko.

I was on the isle of Rhodes last year. Wonderful land, just too many British tourists for my taste.
