re: Want to start following a club

Absence makes the heart grow fond.

I expect this to be double digits in 2015. If for some odd reason it happens this year, I won´t turn my nose up at it.

I was only a part time fan in 2005... Still hadn't fully embraced the whole footy thing... meaning watching every match.. totally emotionally vested

it wasn't until a couple years later that it started slowly replacing all american sports as my passion...

And now, for the past few years, I am fully converted... I would rather a LFC league/title or CL, to an LSU National Championship or Saints Superbowl ( I can say that knowing Ive seen the aforementioned already this decade and that may play into my rationale)

I was really hoping to equal AC Milan in '07 at 6... But now they have 2 on us... That said, we are way closer to another one than they are...

Bayern entered the "5" club last year... Where does Barca sit, at 4??

Might want google what bandwagon actually means. Unless there's some sort of phenomena of bandwagoning when a team is shite.

What fantasy world do you live in where Liverpool were shite for so long? If you can call Liverpool shite based on a 4 years in the past 20+ with finishes as low as 7th or 8th at their lowest, United sitting at 7th is total shite as well. Just because you likely chose Pool within the past 4 years doesn't mean they were "shite". Liverpool hadn't finished lower than 8th since they were on top of football, and honestly, that's to be expected. For the entirety of the decade from 2000-2010, they finished below fourth maybe two times? How is that in any way shite?

I love the delusion the other major clubs seem to have about United. Liverpool really suffered with all of those finishes within, most years, 2 places of the ultra-successful, superstar United teams. Liverpool is one of the most beloved and successful football clubs in the world. They were very rarely, if ever in modern football, shite.

Liverpool is and has always been the "non-United" club that everyone latches onto. Just because Chelsea has taken up that mantle recently with success doesn't mean that Liverpool was some jobber club.
