At the game or in the armchair, which gets you the best view?

Can I come over and piss in your pocket?

 

It would be an honour.

It's deffo better for seeing the ebb and flow of a match as well as any off the ball incidents when you're there. Telly is obviously miles better for detail, close ups and replays. Happily I get both.

 

Some off the ball incidents (i.e anything significant) get the close up/replay treatment.

It's more about the shape of the team - watching the positions players take up, runs and tracking, how we reorganise for defending, how stretched or compressed we are, how players run along the back line - too much too mention. You don't get it on the TV. Plus the shared experience - the rituals, the joy and the pain, the camaraderie, the beers, the craic, the debates, the pisstaking, and the beer.

Incidents was probably too strong a word for what I mean. I'm on about the way players panic around Suarez even when the ball is at the other end of the pitch or the way a full back can make a run into an ocean of space when everyone else is compressed over on the other side. That stuff. "Incidents" made it sound like punch ups and the like. Telly rarely shows the subtle stuff like that (although Carra and Neville are increasingly starting to).

It does get a bit cold in the winter though.

Fucking right. And the leg room is a fucking disgrace.

Also, at the match you're with your mates and Denise the steward passes round a box of sweets at half time.

 

On the telly, you're in the company of some irritating prick like Clive Tyldsley or Andy fucking Gray.

What's the Rodgers song? I can't hear over myself clapping the telly
