  1. Fratton Park and Selhurst Park are examples of places I've seen rocking in the Premiership in the past 5/6 years. We're going off the point a bit though. What you originally said was how nowhere compares to Anfield on a big European night. Elland Road definitely did in the big nights against Real Madrid, Valencia, Deportivo etc, although i've never experienced it first hand Dortmund looks insane on European nights as do a number of eastern european and even Celtic do it well when they're there. From my experience Anfield looks great before kickoff as ye belt out YNWA and wave your scarves, but the atmosphere dies down fairly quick as the football is actually played. Still a bit better than 90% of supporters but you are definitely not worthy of the status of being a 'cut above everybody else'. Thats just simply not true in my opinion. Completely agree with everything you say about seating and new breed of fans which kills atmospheres and don't get me wrong I respect the genuine Liverpool fans like yourself. Theres actually good friendly history between yourselves and Leeds which hasn't been forgotten.
  2. Having a big fanbase doesn't necessarily mean its a good one to be fair. Man Utd easily have the biggest fanbase in England but it doesn't stop Old Trafford sounding like a library most weeks. I'm talking in terms of passion, atmosphere etc. I know you've been lorded over the years for it but thats what happens with the big clubs. The media like to hype up the clubs with large fanbases, it sells. Ye haven't been copied on everything over the years either.. Tin hat on. I'm aware this won't go down well
  3. Think you're ever so slightly biased It's pretty clear for a big game in Anfield the day trippers get their scarves out, sing walk alone then stay pretty much silent for 90 minutes. Elland Road has inevitably lost a lot of its boom in the last few years but it'll get back to those heights when we make our return. This 'Liverpool fans are the best, nobody else compares' with all due respect, is total nonsense.
  4. Villa will do alright this year. I really rate Lambert as a manager They're organised so well that they won't concede enough to be out of games. Also Fabian Delph will be (already is) a fantastic player. Leeds bring them up well.
  5. For radio download the TuneIn Radio app. You can get ESPN 980 from there once you have an internet connection. Not sure on how to get a video stream though.
  6. Liverpool agree an 8.5mill deal for Remy, Leeds sell McCormack to Fulham for 11mill. Real Madrid sign Kroos for 20mill, Liverpool sign Lallana for 25mill. Transfer market makes very little sense these days.
  7. Serious buzz over here in Ireland for the McGregor fight. In fairness to him he's a smart man. Earned nearly every bit of this hype through simple talk. Sold out the O2 Arena over here in minutes and theres huge anticipation for it. Can only be good for the sport really. I've seen him a couple of times walking around Dublin. Supposed to be a genuinely nice guy. Hope he pulls through.
  8. This summer is reminding all too much of the summer of Roque Junior, Camara, Olembe, Domi, Sakho etc. No idea what could happen. 11million for Ross McCormack though. We've robbed Fulham there.
  9. Great question. Footballing giants of the Conference Premier. A division lower than the mighty Accrington Stanley...
  10. In non-world cup news, Leeds have just announced their new manager...Dave Hockaday who got the sack at Forest Green last season. Nothing surprises me with this club anymore.
  11. What we reckon for the world cup so lads? My prediction... Winners: Argentina Runner Up: Germany Golden Boot: Aguero Player of the Tournament: Messi I'm fully convinced this is the year Messi puts Argentina on his back and takes them to the final at least. If he wants to be in the conversation for the greatest ever he has to deliver. Personally think Spain have too many players passing their prime. The likes of Xavi and Iniesta aren't the same players as they were 4 years ago and I have worries about their central defence. Sneaky feeling Germany will beat Brazil in the semi's. Few question marks on that Brazil team for me especially in the centre of midfield. Germany just have the quality all over really. Just can't wait for it now!
  12. They are encouraged not to but if a judge can't separate the two fighters he can score a round 10-10. It's rare enough but there's no rule saying they can't do it.David Haye had the first two rounds down as draws last night. That's how close it was at times.
  13. Groves most dominant rounds were the 7th and 8th (till he got hit) though in my opinion. He may have been winging shots but he was having success in those rounds. Sadly left his chin open once and got tagged. The first 4 rounds were nearly too close to call. Felt Groves had a lot to give in the remaining rounds to be honest. Would have loved to see it go the full 12.
  14. Had it 3-3 with the 1st round being a draw going into the 8th. Gutted for Groves. He was going from strength to strength in that fight I felt but one sweet punch was the difference. Thats boxing though.
  15. Can't wait for it. My money is on a Groves win by decision but I dont really think anyone has a clue how it'll pan out. Hoping Groves does the business anyway.
  16. Keep Suarez, sign a quality central midfielder and sign a new back 4 maybe apart from Skrtel and I think ye will be back up there competing next year. One thing that slightly annoys me about Liverpool fans is that they seem to think the past few years have been the biggest nightmare ever even though you've still been consistently picking up silverware the past decade. Fair enough you still haven't won the Premier League but seriously ye don't have it all that bad with your consistent top 6 finishes and you've just had your best league season by a country mile. The tears are a bit much. Glen Johnson's tweet after the match seems to be aimed at Neville and Carragher. England will get exposed down the right all World Cup if he starts. Glen Johnson ‏@glen_johnson 15m So many sofa experts in this game.... Absolutely no idea about football what so ever! #Jokers
  17. Bit hypocritical of Neville to comment on the atmosphere when Sky are playing a good part in killing it. The Everton players gave it their all though no doubt about it. The better team won as expected. I remember Leeds being in a similar situation in 2003. Playing Arsenal in Highbury and basically handing the title to Man U by beating them 3-2 although we were battling against relegation at the time.
  18. Think this is most boring 5 goal game I've ever seen
  19. I was literally just about to say that. Between letting Barkley go and swapping Becchio for Steve Morison, I'm happy enough to call him the worst manager I've seen at the club and theres a lot to choose from..
  20. I'm not exactly sure on the difference in choice between Ireland and the US but a good pint of Becks is what I go for 9 times out of 10. Avoid Budweiser at all costs.
  21. Ref will be cringing when watching the highlights of this one. Amazing decision
  22. Think the FO have come up with a masterplan to eliminate our special teams woes: The Redskins proposed moving kickoffs to the 40-yard line. That would increase the amount of touchbacks even higher. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap2000000335423/article/what-rule-changes-will-be-considered-next-week?campaign=Facebook_atl_rosenthal
  23. All over Twitter and unsure if true but if it is it'll cause quite the media frenzy: First openly gay PL footballer who played for England last night will come out as gay on Sunday in a Sun Sport exclusive
  24. McDermott reinstated as Leeds manager. I love McDermott and I'm happy about it but its till absolute madness. What a win against Huddersfield today though 5-1 Genuinely the strangest 24 hours the club has ever seen. What a hero Ross McCormack continues to be for us though.
