My son's favorite soccer team in the world is Manchester United immediately followed by Arsenal.
Locally it would be the New England Revolution.

Reds is still the best Team in England, because they already reach 18 title of EPL. But now UNITED right behind 'em. 1 more title, and we have a same level. lol!!!

Dream on, dream on. Go Reds!

When you walk through a storm
Hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark
At the end of the storm
Is a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark

Walk on through the wind
Walk on through the rain
Tho' your dreams be tossed and blown
Walk on, walk on
With hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone

Whoa there TR

Liverpool have never won the Premier league...they won the old first division 18 times.

Is there a difference?

IMHO yes. The money involved since Sky TV got involved has made it much more harder for teams to do better. Liverpool cannot compete with the financial might of Manchester Utd. Chelsea needed the finance from a billionaire to help them win the titles recently.
Arsenal showed great promise but by the end of the season the lack of depth in their squad showed as the likes of Fabregas, Adebayor and Toure were shattered and the title slipped away.

Liverpool are way, way off winning the league realistically. Unless the dead wood is released this season and Rafa signs about three more players of the same quality as Torres it's gonna be Man utd and Chelsea again!!!!!

Spurs? I'd just be happy with another pot for now!

I like Spurs when they play, honestly. I like Barbatov and Lennon. Beside that I think Robbie Keane have a good spirit for the Team.

Thanks. Unfortunately, today was their last game. They played hard, but lost by 1 goal in the final seconds. The ponytails were a flyin!

I have consulted with my hairdresser and I think the correct look for a hooligan is no hair, or more commonly known as a "skinhead" cut. Some hooligans also go for the "mullet" variety.

Ponytails are the preserve of little girls or 80's throwbacks like David Seaman (one time footballer and trendsetter - in his own house - who may be known to you).


NB a "mullet" is not to be confused with the fish of the same name, wearing a fish on your head would be really silly although probably quite trendy on the Paris catwalks

Chris Waddle and his mullett, not to be confused with a red mullett, Dave and his ponytail

Hope this is of help

That mullet haircut look so old school. Like A Flock Of Seagulls haircut or something like England 80s New Wave Bands.

No, everybody gets along. The teams switch up every couple of months, so the father you berate today may be the father of a girl on your daughter's team next month. But we still yell a lot.
