Liverpool Athletic

[bee]

Any fans on here?

[Evan]

Manchester United over here.

Too bad Tom Hicks bought your team, say hello to pathetic transfers and a lower team salary.

[kingsfan]

I've been a fan of Mersey since I was about 3. I was lucky enough to go to several of their games many years ago before I moved to the US.

Do you have cable or sat?

[darrenbatty]

Ynwa.....

[Soul_Patch]

Cable now (for the past year) Satelite for the past few years before that though.

What channels do you use to watch ManU? I just use ESPN 2 and FOXSoccer. Am I missing one?

I am dying to see Setanta Sports on TW........

[Soul_Patch]

Nope that is really the only options on cable i have found. What sucks is most of the times it isnt live, and i catch reruns of the games.


Lately most of my following has been done online.

I did manage to see a live Man U match in 1998 with some English friends who's family have been club members for generations. That was amazing, and cemented my fandom even more :)


i saw a Tottenham match last october, was fun, but not the same i went because my wife really wanted to go to a live match, and it was available.

[Evan]

I want to go to a match so bad at old trafford. Oh man that would be great.

I hate the game selection they give us most of the time. And a lot of times the games are titled wrong so my dvr picks up Man City. Arg!

I am looking for a listing of Manu games for us poor TW folks.

[Soul_Patch]

Do you follow the Dallas MLS team? (assuming you are from Dallas)


i have never been to get into MLS much...just doesnt have the same feel / tradition / etc.. as the EPL

[Evan]

I am in Dallas area.

I have been an awful FC Dallas fan and it’s a shame because the stadium is beautiful and the team is solid. I need to get out there more and the stadium is only about 1 mile away from where I live.

The MLS is just too new.

[Soul_Patch]

I think if i had a team near SA id try and follow them just because i love watching soccer. I just dont know if id ever get that feeling though, as i have gotten watching Man u over the past decade.

[Evan]

I am a fairly new soccer fan. My interest has just exploded in the past few years. I have a lot of learning to do!

Shockingly, there is a serious lack of literature on soccer and ManU specifically.

[Soul_Patch]

wikkipedia has a decent right up on Man u...another really good one on rooney.



Man U throughout the early and mid 90's was just fantastic. Really made me love soccer, and ive been a fan ever since.


I still have a 98 Man U white jersey i bought when i was over there :) i have it hung in my office at home.

[djohn14]

I'm not a big soccer fan. I like American football ya know. I do like Freddy Adu. Oh yeah, go Beckham.

Freddy might transfer to the EPL , Tottenham.

It was only a matter of time.

[Soul_Patch]

reading over some wikipedia reminded me how much i was pissed off at Man U for moving Van Niestelroy. What a F up that was, imho...


Having he and Rooney as your scoring threats is just lethal...and the way it all went down was just crap....oh well...

[Evan]

I hear ya! And to think we were worried about scoring!

[darrenbatty]

What is everyone's prediction for the upcoming season?

[tw05baller]

manu fan here.

[Evan]

ManU champions. Best squad but a little small.

[englishspursfan]

bradford city till i die here.best game i ever saw was when we beat liverpool to stay in the premier.
http://www.bradfordcityfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/Welcome
unlike all them cockney tossers an other people who support man u or a team just cos they win things an let there small home team rot i was born in bradford an could never imagine suporting the scousers ,cockneys or mancs.

[theroc5]

manu fan here.
Manu is my top 3 fav player as well...o wait nvm :fro

[englishspursfan]

btw who are liverpool athletic????

[Soul_Patch]

My predictions for the EPL Next year.


1. Man U
2. Liverpool
3. Tottenham
4. Chelsea
5. Arsenal


something along those lines.

Ive never been one to support the power house teams...but ive got such a long history with Man U, i couldn't switch now...Ive got some friends who live in Bristol who support some D league teams, ive been to plenty of their matches with em...more like going to a sunday kids game or something...out at the park...haha..

still fun though i guess...

[Soul_Patch]

Oh yea...and i always thought it was Liverpool FC, but...then again, i dunno maybe they changed their name or something...

[Evan]

IMO, If you’re an American and you want to follow EPL you have to support a power house team other wise you will never be able to see them and then there would be no point. That’s the reason I started following ManU…simply because they were on a lot. I just couldn't handle watching baseball anymore and football was only only twice a week…started searching around…saw a great ManU game after a great world cup. Hooked. Started watching awhile ago but only became a huge fan recently.

But I need to support FC Dallas more.

[Soul_Patch]

I still think Chelsea is the English version of the yankee's, much moreso than manU

[Evan]

Interesting. I have always lined up ManU with the Cowboys.

[Soul_Patch]

yea thats a good comparison. Or the Lakers, if you are talking about NBA (thats the comparsion i hate) haha..


I think Tottenham Hotspur is very similar to the San Antonio Spurs...being as they really have no flash or big name talent, just a really good fundamental squad that gets it done.

[Evan]

Lakers is an excellent comparison as well.

It will be interesting if ol Tottenham gets Freddy

[Evan]

Just called TW. Forget about setanta anytime soon.
