having a conversation in the effra about the match liverpool and chelsea, and wondered how many liverpool fans actually frequent this here thread, and whether they just do more talking than any of the other participants. Because it seems to be all liverpool, all the time.
Speak up about anything else and it seems to be focused through a liverpool prism.
They are a team going through a bad patch, and their season seems to be going through a bit of an uplift now. So there was some guff about ownership, but nothing out of the ordinary in the preimer leagues mismanagement of who gets to own and run football clubs in this country.
But we speak so little of the other football stories, Utd's unconvincing run to the title. Blackpool's courageous football, Sunderland's rise to midtable obscurity and Asamoah Gyan's swift acceptance of life in the Premiership, (partizan bit) Tottenham's european travails, and attempt to return to the champions league next year, West Brom's rise and now fall, Stoke looking like their particular brand of lump it forward and hope the big man gets there succeeding in keeping them up, Owen Coyle turning Bolton into a footballing team.
So many stories, and all of them subsumed under the liverpool cacophony. I know its a case of frustrated, vocal fans venting, and being baited, but come on, football's bigger than that, and if you can't give praise or have an interest in any other team what's the point in watching it/discussing it/loving it at all..
