Nope. Family house. I think my parents don't really mind. They already know how I am when I watch football. You know that collective roar that goes around the stadium when the ball hits the net?? I do that too when I'm at home. Yes, yes...I know I'm nuts. Hahaha.

i have never watch any epl game in stadium..just couple of local games at bukit jalil and shah alam stadium..but for me,imo watching games on tv is better than watching in stadium..i prefer having the commentators during the game..it's more entertaining..in stadium,there's no commentators.sometimes u can even hear people talking few seats away from you.that kind of experience makes it boring to watch it on stadium..plus if i watch on tv,i can hang around with other team's supporters..especially the classic MU vs arsenal game..lots of other supporters such as chelsea's,tottenham's and liverpool's will come down just to watch the game and cheer with us.that's the beautiness of football i guess..
i wonder what will SAF said if he comes to malaysia and be in the stadium..

I agree that you get a better view of the game on telly and yes, the commentators are an important ingredient in the whole viewing experience but only in the flesh can you truly soak up the atmosphere. When you go to the stadium it's not only about watching the game. It's about singing and chanting with fellow supporters, hugging strangers when your team scores, having a bevy with mates before and after the game, hurling abuse at rival players, bantering with rival supporters and like. If your team was playing a few blocks from you in the flesh, wouldn't you want to be there?

I don't understand how any proper football fan would say watching the game on TV is better than watching in the stadium. What I'd give to be in the Stretford End during a Manchester United match. Hell, I wouldn't mind the furthest seat up the stadium as well as long as I can be there during a match.

i am sure a lot of fans thinking abt convenient rather than atmosphere, thats why they r saying better watching in front of TV...

I have reservations about going to Anfield to watch a game. First, I have no knowledge of a typical match going day tradition. Second, I would probably be taking a seat away from a more deserving person. If I do go for a game, I would go for one which Anfield is not as pack as the big games.

And yes, I think that supporting a club is not a God given right. It is a privilege. So to all those FFF, watch out, Skrtel is after you!

Well, I'd probably do some research concerning the rituals and stuff that fans go through as well but as for the 'more deserving person' part, you have got to be kidding doh.gif

FFF? Don't follow you.
