Phew....steady on, Ted.
That's like saying Hitler was more vomit inducing than Stalin.
Both of these teams are equally a complete disgrace to football.
Gotta agree with Ted, they are fucking intolerable. I have a couple of mates who are rags and I can, at most times(not around derby day though), have a decent conversation with them about football. I was watching the World Cup in the conference room at work with a Liverpool fan(born in Australia, never been out of Australia, but supporting Liverpool and Italy...yep) and you could not talk to him about football, Suarez is the best player in the world, Italy will win the cup because they know how to win the cup, Liverpool will win the league and Champion's League next season. On and on and on and the prick did not shut up.
Perhaps, last season, the 'Moyes effect' eased some of the antipathy towards to Scum, just a little.
In this forthcoming season, however, when Butthead has had more time to move into full flow and step fully into the limelight, perceptions might possibly change again.
To continue on the Bin-Dipper theme, I've not been following very closely their 'progress' in the transfer market, so how much of the money they received for Suarez have they now spent (sorry, invested) and, if they sign Vidal for £42 million, how much will be left ??
I don't know what their finances are like overall, but it seems they've had two fortunate windfalls in Torres and Suarez, which have helped to possibly paper over some the cracks and, at some point in the future, there might be some accounting retrenchment required.
Be interesting if anyone could throw up any light on this.
