Should change the thread title to "other clubs fans obsession with LFC"

I think when your club, your manager, and your fans are making yourselves look ridiculous, fans of other clubs can rightly take the pi$$ IMO

Can't argue with that, also this whole story is providing a nice distraction from yet another LFC season falling apart before we reach the new year.

Not seen a difference in the way both cases have been reported? Not seen Terry labelled a racist but I havent seen them all

Terry's case hasn't been heard yet. Therefore innocent until proved guilty.

Charged him..... Not found him guilty.

Maybe he will be maybe he won't, but as of yet he's innocent.

Was having a debate with friends earlier, how would you list the current English wingers? I'd say Johnson - Downing - Walcott - Young - Albrighton. Thoughts?

If Walcott stayed fit and got a good run in the Premier League (I mean a full season, not half a dozen games, as seems his norm), then he would be my number 1 winger.....I also like Lennon too, but he has similar problems to Walcott.....Johnson is class, but unfortunately, he is always going to be a bit part player in that City squad - Liverpool paid close on £18million for Downing....In my opinion, they should have made a serious push for Johnson and got twice the player.

Downing is a funny one. He seems to have the Heskey factor, in that coaches seem to love him and rate him, whilst fans are pretty baffled by what exactly he brings to a team - He is frustratingly inconsistant, and at 27 is running out of time to become a real international class player.

Young is probably a slightly better Downing....He has the advantage of having the United factor - Playing with good players in a good team and looking half decent because of it (Michael Carrick has made a good career from the same thing)....However , Young (and Carrick) both look average when playing away from United.

Allbrighton??.....Not sure how he made your list, maybe just shows the lack of quality English wide players??....He has potential, but at this point is a million miles from Walcott/Lennon/Johnson.

I've only just realised I put downing, when intending to put Lennon. I think Albrighton has a lot of potential, and no, there aren't many good players out wide for England. Or anywhere else for that matter. I don't rate Downing at all, I really don't see what he brings to the table.
