Still I long for the days of the 2005 side that could put up 5 at any point in time and had a legit late game goal threat in the form of Peter Crouch...75-80 min all we had to do was win corners, between he Alonso, Hyypia, and Gerrard we had guys to take the set pieces & guys to put them home. I love how Agger has been making Gerrard Pique-like runs up the pitch these days, that's nice to see.

Ok , Ive never quite got how fans of a club from a specific area that they live in or follow religiously; who hang shit on other teams or fans: Haven't even got one player that actually lives in that area or at times is even from the same country or area that they so patriotically follow.
Theses fans have fighting wars with other fans over their false local patriotism.
Its ridiculous and a form of insanity. "Our mercenaries are better than your mercenaries!"
Fans don't generally fight other fans anymore and if they do it is away from the stadium and "the shirts" or general football fans are left out of it. It's not all about where your players are from all though having a few local lads does make a difference, the point is they represent your area, your town or city, your manor. It is like an extended family and often the fact that you have been through so many lows over the years makes the highs even greater. It is not false local patriotism it is real passion and pride. Yes it is a form of insanity but so is going into a ring and punching people in the head for a living. It doesn't mean you can't enjoy it. The high of shouting till your hoarse and willing your team on, often against the odds and the group elation of acting like a lunatic and celebrating with thousands of other usually undemonstrative men bonds you together. It may be ridiculous but going to a big club with 40 000 followers and out singing them with 3000 is a real buzz, and yeah some players are mercenaries, but when they are gone the club will go on and generations of fans will pass that passion on to the next. It's completely irrational and that is why we love it.
"Come on you Greens";D
Ive been to a match its very moving, the singing and all that.;)
We have it out here too (no singing) with Aussie rules loads of shouting but no songs until the finish then only the team anthem. Never quite got why some live their whole life for a game though, but hey its their choice its their time, still not worth making enemies over.
