Just to add, why don't we be realistic here. I could go on to say I'll buy nuclear warheads and launch them at stadiums of rival clubs but that's just nonsensical. Let's keep it real mates.

You got bloody tickets or you relying on the touts? Or you just going to be at the Albert or someplace close? Darn... it's going to be a blast.

Well bring a camera and take some pictures for us. If you can take a vid cam with you man. I want to hear The Kop roar when we win I still remember watching The Kop roar the last time we beat them in the Champions League semis. Think you can get if off youtube. Definition of "a wall of sound".

Err dude, doesn't beating up other fans for celebrating make you a sore loser? I mean you'd celebrate if we won the Champions League again, won't you?

Well maybe it's the manner of the celebration but sometimes you just have to learn to take it all in. I have no issues with the manner people celebrate, just as long as I know they aren't glory hunters.

I usually watch matches in pro Liverpool pubs. On a couple of occasions though I have watched games at Modesto's (Chelsea supporters club, and we were playing Chelsea) and Legends Bar (with a group of mancs, most of whom I did not know), so I know what it's like to be in a 'hostile' environment, it sucks to lose. It does get to me seeing their smug faces all filled with joy but that's part of being a fan eh? As I've mentioned, it's when I see glory hunting gloating that makes me sick to the stomach.

Ah and old thread revived. I've got another example. How about getting together with a bunch of friends to start your own community ---->http://my-rawk.com/

Wouldn't it be more tasteful if you learned a Barca song and sang that instead?

I can understand the sheer ecstacy mate. I don't particularly fancy goading myself. I'd much rather channel by joy and jubilation at my team. It's just my opinion but I think it's classier to celebrate and not resort to mocking opponents even if they mocked us first. I think it's showing that you are a step above in that sense. My 2 cents

Some bloke that came to one of our viewings in a red Kenari has a large Liverbird emblazoned at the side of the car. Didn't take a picture though.

Real respect however should be given to those who dig into their life savings to follow their clubs especially in Europe. I once saw the story of a cabbie in Liverpool who spends his life savings on travelling Europe with the club. This it was in the "Road to Istanbul" DVD. I've a friend who bought his ticket to Istanbul during the Quarter-Final stage of the tournament, hoping that Liverpool would make is there with him. I mean it's easy for us to say that we'll save up to go to our respective meccas one day but how many actually do it? How many would forgoe buying a house or a car to visit their clubs first? How many would use up all the money they've saved for a trip there? I can't safely say I would. Thankfully my trip was free, otherwise I'd probably still not have gone.

Nah it belonged to some other dude. JonC's ride is a little more subtle than his.

Exactly mate, practicality comes into play. It comes back again to my point that fans here can be a little too defensive. I can understand why fans in the UK hate one another with passion. It's because logic seldom comes into play when it comes to spending on/for their team. "Forget about whether or not we can afford a house, we simply must go to Instanbul!". While I don't aspire to lose all common sense, I admire their passion and dedication. Once again, it's like I've always said. I'm a fan of our fans.

Same here mate. I mean supporting a club is one thing because there are certain values associated to clubs, a sense of identity. I personally don't get the strong emotional attachment some seem to hav with other national teams. I mean I watch the World Cup and I have my favourites, to be more specific teams with Liverpool players in them, but short of feeling sorry for the said player if they lose, I won't cry myself to sleep feeling sorry for the team.

On the issue of having dreams of staying in Liverpool or whatever, I had them as well. Thing is I don't plan to live there. The funny thing though about dreams is that because they don't appear real, we seldom do anything to realise them. We just wait and hope. What's more important than having them is to work towards realising them.

The same could be said for Gary Neville who has been embroiled in goading incidences twice, most recently being against Man City. Mourinho did the same at Anfield. It's easy to lose self control in such emotionally charged situations. Same goes for being a fan. Everyone has their limits and as tame as an individual may be, he'll lose all sense of logic and control at some point if pushed far enough. I can't say I don't get angry when I see rival fans taking the piss which is why I do my best to watch Liverpool games in the presence of only Liverpool fans. While acting out of emotion should not be condoned, I think it can be expected.
