lump glad to have another football fan around! The respect campaign. well I guess what they wanted to try to happen is for the players to respect the fact that they are human, but it seems they make too many mistakes.
do you have a team in particular?

If Manchester United were to play AC milan. I would absolutely want Man U to win. As long as the Italians lose... I think you're confusing my feelings of Hatred towards the Italians as liking of Man U... dis-pick-a-ble.

When Chelsea play Lpool I hope a hole opens up on the pitch and swallows both teams. But if I doesn't and I don't get my Draw I guess I would hope the Lpool wins. That in no way makes me a Lpool fan.

Not only do you see Christiano Ronaldo-like diving in Serie A but you also get the fish-out-of-water flopping around. You'd swear the players have gills.

I've heard that one, too. But when I sniper hits, the victim is dead and usually motionless. Have you ever seen a sniper shoot a victim and said victim flop around for minutes?

rarely.
but it's the flop around.. flop some more... scream... get carried off... come back on with a slight "limp" then run like it's the start of the match that I despise....
when Gattusso had the ball taken off of his foot by brian McBride in WC 2006 and dropped to the ground and grabbed the WRONG FOOT, I decided I hated him. The dive against the Soccerroos in the same WC made me hate them even more.

William Gallas lost his armband and was dropped from the team for Saturday...
William Gallas has been stripped of the Arsenal captaincy and will not play against Manchester City, according to Sky Sports News sources.
The move comes after Gallas spoke of unrest in the Arsenal camp on Thursday, including details of a bust-up during half-time in the recent 4-4 draw with Tottenham.
A number of former players have been quick to criticise Gallas for the outburst and it now appears as though Arsene Wenger has acted quickly to discipline the Frenchman.
It is understood that Gallas, who was handed the armband at the start of last season, will not travel with the rest of the squad ahead of Saturday's game at Man City.
The latest development raises doubts about Gallas' future with the club, just two years after he joined the Gunners from Chelsea.
Arsenal have yet to confirm the news but reports suggest that goalkeeper Manuel Almunia will lead out the side against City.
