Imo the weirdest thing is going to your feircest rival forum and making thousands of posts it doesn't make sense. I can understand someone like yourself doing it, you may actually be fond of United and there's no rivalry between us and Feyenoord. But with Liverpool there's a whole history of a bitter rivalry.
it is weird. this type of thing doesn’t happen on celtic/rangers forums. We are supposed to hate one another, and should act accordingly.
Wtf
amazingIronically I sat beside Niall in history for 2 years.............for his sins. I was more of a Stalin man. 5 year plans and all that. Actually Klopp has a 5 year plan.............coincidence?

Yeah to be fair, after that last post I realized I would rather kick myself in the nuts than go on an Ajax forum to post regularly. On the other hand, the caf is a very nice community and there's a few Pool supporters here who, in my opinion, add something to the football forum. Just that though, the football forum, not the United one. I'm not naming any names, lest it goes to their head, but I think there's Belgian dude on here who supports pool and isn't that bad.
Same here, I just thought you were suggesting that. Misunderstanding.
And a lazy wolf.
You've taken this far too seriously. This place is incredibly inclusive and at times even goes too far. This is the sensible decision all things considered. Well done our supreme leader
I agree with you 100% and have been saying this for some time now.
Exactly - my post number 253:
Yeah my post was mostly aimed at the person saying non tribalist fans are not real fans. The caf is very inclusive which is part of its strength if you ask me. All the pool supporting newbies of late should obviously feck off.
And I thought we were too soft to do this. Thank You! I can browse the forum without getting irritated now.
That's pretty much how I see it. I am not from Liverpool, not even from UK, so maybe that's why I don't get this tribalism thing. Where I live, people at my age, +40, who are into english football, are usually either Liverpool or Man United fans. I have probably just as many friends who support Man United, as Liverpool. No worries about that here. Of course we have some banter and argues, but it's in a friendly way.
It’s funny because it’s true
Just curious, how much time do you spend here? And what threads you go through?
I understand your views, but unless you are from the place in question or fully immersed in the rivalry (I.e. going to games) then your opinion just can’t stand up as much. I was in Moscow in 2008, watched us hammer Roma 7-1 and was sat right behind the goal for Van persies volley against Aston Villa, but by far and away my best moment as a Utd fan was being in the away end At Anfield when John O’Shea scored in the last few minutes and we escaped With a one nil win. The abuse the fans received, the hatred, it’s almost addictive, and that feeling you get getting one over on the team you despise is one of the best in the sport. I don’t want Liverpool fans having that same feeling with people like me at its expense. I find that the people who say it’s just a game of football haven’t been to enough games (especially away ones) to know just how important it actually is.That's pretty much how I see it.

Some say, that we're supposed to hate each other. I really don't get it. Why should we?? I will save hate for someone who hurts me or people I care about. Like I've said earlier in here, no Man United fan has ever hurt me. This thread, and whenever we've been arguing in here, is just fun and friendly banter for me. And whenever I meet hostility in here, I try to return it objectively and friendly. I think this thread and some of the reactions are hillarious. It's funny that it is taken so far
At the end of the day, it's just football. It's supposed to bring us joy and I refuse to make enemies because of it.
And no way was Scholes better than Gerrard.. Get a grip
Erm, it's about Pool fans and their smug title celebration chatter not happening here.
Will happen
I love you Niall
agreed...
Great moments you've been a part of. I am definitely not the same place. Not geographically, not emotionally. I love playing Manchester United and especially beating you. The rivalry between your club and mine is very much a part of the fun for me. But the passion you and other regular matchgoers have for your team, and against us, is on another level to what I feel. I totally get that. You can feel what you want to. If you hate everything associated with Liverpool it's your right and I respect that. It's just not for me on that level.
Yeeeoooooo UppaNiall!!
The work that began almost 5 years ago will finally be completed. Awesome!!!
