Unpopular Opinions You Hold

It's interesting how other people view things so differently.

 

Personally I'd take Liverpool fans giving it the big'un over Real and Barca basically carving up La Liga with their ridiculously lopsided TV money agreements and their supposed divine right to win it each year, to say nothing of the pretentious "more than a club" rubbish (backed by their own set of fans giving it the big'un) any day of the week and twice on Sundays. At least Liverpool get more than the occasional humbling experience in their own league by comparison.

I'm backing Liverpool. I like Mane and Salah so i want them to win.

 

some people who want Pool to lose were probably the same posters who got mad because other English fans wanted us to fail last season in the CL.

I agree with you about Real/Barca. I could get behind anyone else against them, but my workmate is just too damn annoying.

It's interesting how people who have never set foot Madrid can want Real to win because some Liverpool fans are plastic.

Tbh I’m not really that fussed either way ....    but the oppo fans won’t be anywhere near me if they win, unlike the ‘I’m a scouser for the day’ boys   ..   and it doesn’t matter whether it’s a Spanish, German, or Italian team ...   or whether I’ve been there ...   one man one team, that’s me ....

I wasn't having a pop C.F. 

 

I always want the British team to win, even when it's Man U.

Some prisoners should be allowed to be monitored somewhere else outside cells, to reduce the overcrowding issue in jails.

I like Liverpool (and Everton too actually) so want them to win.

 

Many times I've been at Anfield and their fans have clapped off our players if we've put in a good performance. Can remember it happening recently when we came from 2-0 down under Pearson. Both Liverpool and Man Utd fans are good in that respect, they seem to acknowledge the opposition if they've been good.

They certainly didn't do that when Wolves beat them 1-0 at Anfield under Hodgson. They were too busy booing!

Maybe it’s a generational thing. English teams bossed Europe in the late 70,s early 80’s and those wins were pretty much celebrated across the country from what I remember.

 

But the worlds a smaller place now and we’ve got kids in England wearing Real and Barca shirts. Proper European 

 

 

I think it is generational. Back in the late 70s/early 80s, I remember listening to European nights on the radio, willing all the British clubs to win.

I certainly wasn't some Brexity British nationalist.

If I could define it, it was a sort of pride - gave me some pride that "our" teams were making their mark in Europe.

Nothing anti-foreign about it either. I suppose part of it was that Europe seemed more distant then and we knew much less about continental teams.

[FoxesDeb]

It's a bit like cheering on the players from other clubs when they're playing for England. You get behind them because they're representing your country.

Or we should build more jails

We need to end imprisonment for fine default, change what puts someone in prison and change what goals our prisons are aiming for.

And lock people up who commit knife crime for a long time ....   if anyone can think of a genuinely better way of dealing with this problem let me know ...

I can stand neither Real nor Barca due to their highly visible arrogance complex so whatever my opinion of Liverpool's fans, I hope they win tonight.

 

I was hoping they'd both lose.

I guess you've never set foot in Liverpool then.  or you'd understand the feeling. 

 

I can understand both points of view. I'd like the English to beat the Spaniards (are there any England players in the liverpool team?) but plastic supporters giving it the big one at home are incredibly annoying. At the moment we can point to our better trophy winning record since 2015.

 

Would you be cheering on Forest (or whichever British team you dislike the most) to win the CL final?

I agree with the idea but maybe not with the details as I'm pretty sure you're more "human" than I am.

 

There are far too many people going into the prison system for crimes that people shouldn't be locked up for. Some crimes are to do with "poverty", many crimes are not against a person and some convicted WILL be better off with rehabilitation and community schemes. We probably agree here, where we're likely to disagree is that I believe some "criminals" should be imprisoned for longer and have to do "hard" labour or community work and not have a "free" ride - when I say that I mean costing the nation, doing nothing and with no real hope of rehabilitation.

[Facecloth]

Not quoting your whole post @FIF but there were three English starters for Liverpool. Milner, Henderson and Alexander-Arnold. They also had Lallana, Solanke and Clyne on the bench. Also if he wasn't injured Oxlade-Chamberlain would almost certainly have started.

Opinion: We'll get more points next season without Mahrez than we did this season with him.

 

(Mancity will probably get less with him next season than without him this season).

I did cheer on forest when they were in the final and I cheered on Man U who I despise over any other team in football.

I was watching in a pub in Leicester with some mates in ‘99 when Utd beat Bayern and the whole place went mental when they won in injury time - including me. Still felt like England beating Germany some how

I was in a pub in Leicester in 2012 when Chelsea won and it went mental then too.

 

I usually back the English or British sports person/team, with a few exceptions. I'm too young for the Forest European finals but I'm sure they'd have been one of them.

 nah, im not that human.

 

crimes against people require punishment and severity should reflect the crime, rapists, child abusers, murders etc. BUT, unless they are in for life (which most murderers and child abusers should be) for the good of society as well as for the person... we need to make prison work for the prisoner., there no point having them doing hard labour for 5 years...then setting them free with anger and resentment.

 

oh and there is no place for capital punishment ever.
