What team is the player you dislike the most in your team and why?

 

united; Rooney. He's hard to like.

 

 

Your team? Always knew you was a Untied fan.

 

------------------------

 

Predictions for the Liverpool game later? I can see it being a draw to be honest. I heard Sturridge should be fit for the game.

 

Depends on Palace imo. I reckon Liverpool will feel the pressure and doubt it'll be a high scoring game. If Palace score first it'll all be on Liverpool and they may try to force the matter, which could work against them. As long as they don't thrash Palace the result will work either way for City, allowing them to relax a bit or else keep the intensity up which we seem to respond to.

Even if we do win our remaning two games I just dont see City dropping points at home to either Villa or West Ham. I have given up on the title as a part of me still hopes and wishes that you mess up. Hopefully selling Carroll and Downing to West Ham will work in our favour though on the final day.

[I cucked Alex Jones]

I can see West Ham or Villa getting a draw, but i can also see Liverpool dropping points to Palace. Really though, I'm just relieved Chelsea are pretty much out of contention.

[Nlwt]

Have you ever cried watching Football?

 

Not really, despite witnessing some magical moments in football.

Have you ever skipped class/work to watch your team play?

Indeed, not because of the time of the match, but mainly so I can go on a piss up before/after.

What is the team/s you hate the most and why?

Liverpool, City - needs no explanation

Arsenal - Piers Morgan. That is all.

What is your favourite team from England (Can be more than one)?

Man Utd

What is your favourite team from Spain (Can be more than one)?

Real Madrid

Do you have a season ticket to go watch your team play all the games?

Not possible due to work, otherwise I would.

What team is the player you dislike the most in your team and why?

Don't 'dislike' any, but there are some I'd rather not have at the club because they simply cannot play football.

When you go watch a game, do you sit quietly or do you let out your Hooligans side and start cheering for your team like a maniac?

Both - time and a place for everything.

Exactly how I was feeling before youse played Chelsea. And it's very possible that it'll come down to a difference of one game.

Let’s say your dad is from a country where the football national team is very good (Brazil, Spain, Germany, England…)

[Josh]

Have you ever cried watching Football?

Nope. I've never been moved to tears by any football moment at the time. I can't even remember going close as I tend to react with excitement rather than emotion.

Have you ever skipped class/work to watch your team play?

Maybe once, to go to an away match in London.

What is the team/s you hate the most and why?

I don't really hate teams, more people. This can obviously influence the teams that I dislike though, since I don't like Arsenal because of Wenger (although I used to like him I think it's probably time for a change), and I don't like Chelsea because of a multitude of people.

I suppose I'd say that I don't like Bristol Rovers, however I don't really passionately hate them. I guess that's because they've just never really competed at the same level as us during my lifetime. It's hard to dislike a team if you're just so much better than them for such an extended period of time -- it becomes a rather odd feeling of pity for them and their fans.

What is your favourite team from England (Can be more than one)?

Bristol City, AFC Wimbledon, West Ham.

What is your favourite team from Spain (Can be more than one)?

Again, I don't really have one particular favourite. I guess if pushed I'd say Sevilla or Valencia, or Athletic Club.

Do you have a season ticket to go watch your team play all the games?

No. Used to but it got too expensive, and I wasn't getting any enjoyment out of watching the games.

What team is the player you dislike the most in your team and why?

Any player drawing a wage that is far too high given their contribution to the club. I can't really name names as most of them are on the way out anyway.

When you go watch a game, do you sit quietly or do you let out your Hooligans side and start cheering for your team like a maniac?

When I'm at football matches, I'm a horrible bastard who's always looking to wind up opposition fans. I find it physically impossible to not cheer or sing while watching football in a stadium.

[The Gardener]

Can I do one of these??????????

Have you ever cried watching Football?

Yep, when Everton we're knocked out of the Champions League in 2005/2006 and when Wigan bet us 3-0 in the 2013 FA Cup Quarter Final.

Have you ever skipped class/work to watch your team play?

I was let off school a few times to watch Ireland in the 2002 World Cup.

What is the team/s you hate the most and why?

Liverpool - Too many bitter fans

City/Chelsea - Would be nowhere as successful if they had average budgets.

What is your favourite team from England (Can be more than one)?

Everton, Aston Villa, Wigan, Norwich, Nottingham Forest,

What is your favourite team from Spain (Can be more than one)?

Athletico Madrid, outdoing Barca and Real with huge financial disadvantages is admiral. But tbh I hate La Liga, to much carrying on/diving.

Do you have a season ticket to go watch your team play all the games?

I would if I could afford one. It's also a day trip even for home games.

What player is the player you dislike the most in your team and why?

Pienaar. He dives, and in general comes across as a wimp and a bit moody.

When you go watch a game, do you stay silent or unleash your inner hooligan?

It depends how drunk I am.

[Crokey]

I'm adding another question to Southland's quiz

 

Which player for another team you dislike?

 

Skrtel, dirty, dirty player that one.

The number of penaltys that should have been awarded against Liverpool on account of that man whilst defending is crazy. Would make me nervous if he was in my team.

[Shoumaker]

Yeah we need top class defenders and fast. This sh*t keeps happening too often.

 

E: Wow, 3-3 and I'm not even surprised.

 

@ L5B4LIF3- You still think our defense will improve over time and that our defense is just unlucky? Yeah f*cking right, we deserve to draw this game for our piss of a defense.

 

Congrats City on winning the title. We never deserved to win it with the defense we have.

Get in Palace! Liverpool slip up again

[Crokey]

What a game, those Palace fans are epic, Suarez was gushing like a new born baby at the end.

 

Still a while to go yet, but it's completely ours to lose now.

[Nlwt]

[Joseph Cooke]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAAAW

 

Get in Palace! Liverpool slip up again

The whole team this time.

 

 

 

^ That

Defense isnt good enough, simple as that really.

[Max]

If Liverpool remembered that defending was a thing for even half of the games this season they'd have the title locked up. Unbelievable.

 

Looks like West Ham and Newcastle are going to be deciding the title then...

[The Gardener]

Bolasie is a monster, knew he was good, but he was special in the second half. #BOLIEVE

 

Game of the Season for me!

[Hodgey.]

Dont forget Villa.

[Joseph Cooke]

The 11-12 season probably should have already done this, but this season has shown it really isn't over until it's over. After the 3-2 defeat at Anfield we were dead and buried. Now a win and a draw will do it for us. And despite this it still isn't set in stone. A draw on Wednesday would mount an enourmous amount of pressure on the final day imo.

If I was City I'd lose on Wednesday just to make the final day more exciting.

Sorry Nathan, I liked your post by mistake.

 

@Cooke,

 

It's over.

/// BONUS ///

Imagine you are a 17 year old football player that plays for the youth team of a big team. Let’s say your dad is from a country where the football national team is very good (Brazil, Spain, Germany, England…) and your mom is from a country where the football team has no chance on going further than group stages (Hong Kong, Barbados, Bahamas…). So when you turn 18, you have to decide whether you risk your career and try to end up playing in a big national team (From where your father is from) or accept your mom nationality and immediately play in a small national team (Your mother’s country).

What would you choose and why?

I would choose the country I spent most of my life in

[Nlwt]

Sorry Nathan, I liked your post by mistake.

By mistake eh? Nahh I get it.

 

I have to say that was a monstrous comeback by Palace. Classic PL stuff.

[cactus.]

Have you ever cried watching Football?

 

No

 

Have you ever skipped class/work to watch your team play?

 

Plenty a time. During college we'd skill afternoon class sometimes to watch the Champions League games which were midweek.

 

 

What is the team/s you hate the most and why?

 

None, I have no reason to hate a club.

 

 

What is your favourite team from England (Can be more than one)?

 

Fulham.

 

 

What is your favourite team from Spain (Can be more than one)?

 

Meh, don't really have one, but the closest would be Villareal since I've seen them play.

 

Do you have a season ticket to go watch your team play all the games?

 

No. My local team is Philadelphia but I can't for the life of me seem to give a sh*t about the MLS.

 

What team is the player you dislike the most in your team and why?

 

No players I dislike.

 

When you go watch a game, do you sit quietly or do you let out your Hooligans side and start cheering for your team like a maniac?

 

I like to be with a majority of the supporters and join in crowd support. But I'm not very loud and resemble nothing of a hooligan.

That really depends on how good I am. If I had the potential to actually play for the big team, I'd probably go with them, because who wouldn't want to compete at the biggest stages on a regular basis and get tons of experience more out of it? On the other than, if I were an average player, I'd definitely go for the smaller team and would still relish the challenges of trying to get somewhere with that team.

I think it might be a bug as on my laptop sometimes I can unlike a post, then other times I cant.
