derail but why does everybody use the acronym "citeh" ?

 i find it totally bisarre.


People like to look cool, though sometimes it has the precise opposite effect.

"Manure" is just as........well, you know. "Chelski" too, I suppose.

Because there's lots of teams called "City" and "Citeh" identifies them easily?

It's nothing to do with trying to look cool, it's simply that proper fans can't bear to refer to other teams that they see as adversaries by their proper names, ergo spuds, chelski, manure, citeh, liverpoo etc.

Proper fans do not use capital letters for these nicknames either...

As Montgomery Brewster once said, none of the above.... People call them 'citeh' as a piss take on the northern accent, no more no less.

Thank God I am not a "proper fan" then, I'm not sure I could conform to all that stuff.

The thing is I didn't start supporting Norwich because they played wonderful football (though as a kid we were pretty easy on the eye). I supported them because they were my local club and they represented the area I grew up in. Not that I give it much thought but I want success for the club first and foremost because of this and that means winning.

I think i have 2 answers to the same question with 2 heads on.

For me, winning ugly and winning trophies for my team.
Watching Team B vs Team C going for the title, id want the "flair attacking" side to win the league.

This isn't taking into account though, if team b or team c were a team i didnt like.

Sunday's game for example. We (liverpool) got tactically outplayed and had little answer for it. My brother (chelsea) was absolutely loving watching it. I couldn't watch that football week in week out UNLESS it was my team. Then if we win 1-0, or 0-0 when needed, bring it on.

For all our attacking free flowing easy on eye football- if we scored in the first minute in any game. Happy to blow the whistle right there and then.


But when it means less to me as a fan, in that it doesnt hurt as much, im sure id cope better and settle for being entertaining and wouldnt mind the result as much. Not quite there yet, and not sure i ever want to be if im honest.
Football its complicated!

When you play poker, would you rather be thethe guy who is perceived to be the best or the guy that makes the most money?

For me it's not close.

Not a big fan generally but

Look at Willian he was a lazy so and so in the Ukraine and considered an excellent player but more of a luxury one.

Covered more yards than anyone the other night and can only presume that is at least partly down to Mourinho getting him to focus

lol happy days. really enjoyed that more than i should have.

on a (as serious as you can be note once you stop laughing),

how much was sunday at anfield a jose nuthugging masterclass now?

he had very little chance of winning prem, played a very strong team of first choice players 3 days before a champions league semi final at stamford bridge. if he rested some of his players he would probably be looking forward to a final in lisbon.

now he wins sweet F.A all this season

special one?

i dont think so. should never have gone back. if he wins nothing again next season all its doing is taking away from his past ( truly impressive) achievements.
