And as The Owls haul their sorry carcasses back up the leagues...i yearn for times past....and a major part of that is a Strong Liverpool side stuffing the best sides in Europe..
I hate Man u...Chelsea is NOT what footballs all about and ive no love for the Arsenal..So i hope to god this week i get a taste of what football used to be....Roll back the years...
That cup belongs at Anfield..it belongs in England...and as The Wednesday have narrowly failed to qualify...i hope you bring it home



best of luck from SWFC

Thanx for the kind words mate all the best to for next season, and p.s. I cant stand SU or neil warnock

your right those late 70`s early 80`s were a golden age for footy and not just because we were the top side, i remember watching sheff wed beat us at anfield (no - one beat us at home in those days) in the early eighties when we were european champions with players like ex blues gary megson and mick lyons in the side. and i also remember you losing a cup semi to brighton the year united beat them in the final. that was the final when the lad smith could have won it for brighton in the last minute but missed a sitter. they were great days back then before ferguson and wenger took it upon themselves to devalue the fa cup and even though we seemed to have a jinx against us in the cup it was great watching finals with teams like ipswich and west ham in them.
great days.

I was at that game where we beat you at Anfield mate...think Varadi scored...but was helped out by Grobelaar deciding to play left midfield for a couple of minutes

Chelsea and the like in my opinion cannot hold a candle to the famous Liverpool sides i had the privelage of seeing home and away in years past...because those sides were made not bought..they were forged by the minds of your Shankly's and your Paisleys....there is no art to getting a cheque book out and buying your trophies....bright 12 yr olds could do it...and football is is poorer for it..
i for one can't relate to it..
i watched the cup final yesterday....and was in the ridiculous position of wanting both sides to lose...it doesn't get the pulse racing...its fvcking plastic

i know what you mean mate the game seems plastic all round. the genuine footy men have gone out the game. love them or hate them fella`s like revie, joe mercer, malcom allison, dave sexton, docherty and clough were characters and genuine football men with the game at heart.
regarding wednesday - sturrock looks a good manager who was treated harshly by soton. his record at plymouth was excellent. so keep your chin up and you`ll soon be back up and the first step on the ladder will be against hartlepool on sunday. good luck for the game.
its easy to support a team when everything is going well, its blokes like you and the fans who travel the country to watch the so called lesser teams that are the heart of the english game. no other country has 92 league clubs because no other country has fans like we do in the lower divisions. they`d all soon get bored and go and support a big club. loyalty is a word that still exists in our game. well done mate.
