"Liverpool fans don't compare at all to Galatasaray fans"

[Unrighteous]

"At the end of the day, the Premier League attracts the best players in the world. The big leagues in Europe are the Premier League, La Liga and Serie A, but I think that the Super Lig is just behind those three."

 

Err... behind Die Bundesliga, as well, perhaps? Maybe behind Superliga, as well. Err... and French league? I'd probably put them behind the Russian League as well, considering the success of Zenit and CSKA in the UEFA cup, and with Spartak, FC Moscow, and Lokomotiv Moscow being good sides.

 

Let's be honest, Galatasaray aren't that good. Fenerbahce aren't shite but they aren't great.

 

Turkish league is like the Ukrainian High League(or the Scottish)... two sides that are good, two or three sides that won't be embarrassed in europe, and dross makes up the rest.

[AlanWolf]

He's right.

[Red Mist]

Not many fans compare with Galatasaray fans, they chant non-stop for virtually the entire games, whereas at Anfield we're silent for so much of the match. Like most english clubs. It's cultural differences, in Turkey their fans go on and on, we like having a pie during the game and renders us mute.

we might not sing as much as the Turks but we travel as often as they do and are just as dedicated. Kewell's just annoyed because of the stick some of us gave him while he was here.

"Apple tea" and the "soothing" praying in mosques. My, he has turned Turk, hasn't he?

 

Fancy a bum?

[torahboy]

Fancy a bum?

 

By 'turning Turk' I meant in the sense that he has immersed himself in the local culture and traditions. I did not mean that TE Lawrence thing of forced anal intercourse converting him to Sodomy. No, sir, I don't think Harry has taken to back door deliveries or receptions. Though I wouldn't mind trying to turn Sherry on to the idea!

 

As for your 'fancy a bum?' query, I suggest that you approach David Moyes. I believe that was how he finished up with Fellaini....and Piennar......and Yakubu....and Saha.......and Van Der Meyde........and so many others.

Yup. (Potentially NSFW)

Point accepted but I suggest that, with the possible exception of Fellaini, none of the aforementioned gentlemen are 'full of eastern promise'.

Wonder if the Leeds fans will be happy to read that, presuming they can read.

How would Harry know how fickle or down in the dumps some (I stress SOME) Liverpool fans can be. Has he been reading this forum since he left?

 

Ah, that would explain it.

[Thomo123]

The fact that they are all standing definately contributes to the atmosphere imo. Alot of the behaviour that is de rigeur across europe (flares etc) is not acceptable behaviour in prem grounds.

Well, that should take care of that then. Life has its way of working things out. You've just highlighted one.:laugh:

[RedinSweden]

Harry Tool.

[memyselfandpie]

That's a fair enough statement in many respects.

 

They do generate a very good atmosphere, ours can be incredible of course, but it's rarely consistently good.

 

Also, they are clearly 15-20 years behind us with respect to the crowds. We have been pushed away from the 'tribal' element of a near all male crowd and had the matchgoing experience tailored more for the family occasion. You scan through their fans it's 95% men, ours is probably 60% at most. And of course, the standing is a major factor.

 

It doesnt make me think ''Oh Fuck off, ours is the best'' in some failing plea of denial, it makes me think ''Oh god I wish our game was still like that''.

 

Credit where it's due, always.

Galatasaray fans got nothing on the Fenerbahce fans.

Didn't Galatasaray fans kill Leeds fans a couple of years back? I wouldn't be able to move to that club, I'd feel like I'd have betrayed the people who were killed that day. But Harry Kewell probably could. Playing for a football team would get you emotionally attached somehow I could imagine. He's only arsed that he's getting a big fat pay day every week.
