General Football Nonsense

wrongun Good story, though does get a bit edgy…

“Guys with long hair, growing beards and all that stuff - they went to Union and felt freedom and wildness”

The lads are back in training! Well, most of them…

Do we have a date for the first games? Think I’ve missed a fair bit of info here. Are they playing behind closed doors?

Amps the current PL target date is 12th June, though there’s a decent chance it could get pushed back a week.
The games will obviously be played behind closed doors, though they should at least be played at the home team’s usual stadium.

Berlin derby tonight.

Cheers Hugs.

Dortmund are the obvious one for the yellow wall, generally being the only club to regularly menace the detestable Bayern, and the Klopp connection.

BUT Union Berlin are the coolest top flight club, for their fans, their anti-Red Bull Leipzig protest, and the running battles they apparently used to have with Dynamo (the military/establishment team) fans in the old East Germany.

Still, the club I always root for in the Bundesliga is Werder Bremen - they were my first choice so I’ll stick with them. Mostly for their surprise league wins despite being a heavily unfancied team, and Karl-Heinz Riedle, one of the most intelligent forwards to play the game. The perennial underdog who come good.

Was he any good for us, my late 90s football memories are a little hazy.

Bremen is a bit of a drab city though, and the wind is colder than a polar bear’s nutsack.

Bayern provided me with the greatest night of my life in 2012.

In their own backyard with Smallman Snr by my side.

Majestic!

Still love the fact that only BF (RIP) and me are the only two posters to have seen their side lift ole big ears in the flesh.

Proper fans.

Fuck off Ed.

Given the amount of bullshit BF and yourself spout, I’d say that fact is highly debatable.

Take it you weren’t in Madrid last year?

Smallman1

As always, happy to send photos.

Have led some life tbf, memories for a lifetime.

Echo

Correct.

But I was in Athens 2007, unfortunately, which was a shitshow.

Smallman, you’re not a football fan, you’re the equivalent of that braying bellend who scores tickets to his company’s box every week and no one tells to fuck off for being a know-nothing cunt because most people are too polite. Except your freebie exec box isn’t a box, it’s just bog-standard seats with hot choc and Smallman Sr’s corpulent frame wedged between you and some singer from the 80s who has to write songs about the Covid to make people remember who he is.

You shitnecked incel mong

22 years I’ve had the season ticket Dave.

The one words that springs to mind is COMMITMENT.

I was there last year Ed, a couple of miles away in a Madrid bar wall to wall with Liverpool fans.

Good times.

Hursty I think he means in the actual stadium

Amps Arrived at Anfield when he was 31/32?

Before that played for Werder Bremen, Lazio and won the European Cup with Dortmund.

I liked him even before he signed for us after I saw him in Euro 92 (top scorer). One of the most intelligent players I’ve seen, like I said. A player who you would root for, because he was great despite lacking physical attributes. He wasn’t tall but was great in the air. He wasn’t fast but would arrive in the box at the right time to score or ping a ball to someone who could.

You could tell his class was still there when he came to Liverpool, like Litmanen, but he was getting on at that point. Probably helped Owen and Fowler a lot though, behind the scenes.
