Yesterday went to watch my home town team, Liverpool at the Islington Enormo Dome, home of Arsenal Gastropub FC.
As you'd expect there are funeral parlours on the North Pole with a better atmosphere, but seeing as though most Arsenal fans are fun boy Pop Idol lookalikes from rural Hertfordshire or middle class Islington media types this is hardly surprising. The Liverpool contingent sadly proved once again why the Reclaim the Kop campaign is need so much: boring songs, fuck all noise and some shocking swedes - especially on our out of town bretheren. And as for the team, sorry but not good enough – especially when you consider how much has been spent on them recently. In 2002, Gerard Houllier laid the foundations for his demise by spunking millions on the likes of Salif Diao, Bruno Cheyrou and El Haj Diouf. Let's hope Rafa hasn't done the same, though by winning the European Cup last year he can (rightly) pretty much do what he wants. For the next couple of seasons at least.

This discussion says it all.
