I am aware, actually. I haven't denied Batdude his enjoyment, neither have I disagreed with Arsenal fans enjoying Spurs' failure. I said it's fine with enjoying your rivals failing. It's the over-the-top gloating when you're in no position to gloat. I posted on a YouTube video on this very subject when an Arsenal fan was trying to justify Arsenal fans laughing at Spurs. That they're under no illusions that it's been a good season, just that they found it funny to see them fail in the way that they did, to find some small enjoyment out of what has been a poor season. And that's fine. Enjoy it when a rival fails, it's just going over the top with it when your team hasn't put you in a position to gloat so much.
Don't you dare say I'm not a passionate Liverpool fan because I don't fit in whatever your criteria is. There are Man United fans who have admitted to making money from their own team losing. That doesn't make you a bad fan. I have never said it's not all bad if Liverpool lose, if it results in me winning money from a bet. I'd never want to win a bet at the expense of Liverpool.
You're right, my views on Man United and Liverpool can and have gone in the neutral thread when it's relevant. My view on this could go in the neutral thread but it's not because I'm replying to a post that isn't in the neutral thread.
I don't have to justify myself to you.

I don't need my "mates" to stick up for me. If they don't respect me as a Liverpool fan then their views on me don't matter. You don't speak for the other forum members, you don't speak for Liverpool fans, either.
You seem to have a problem with me, I don't know what it is but it's been obvious for a while with you giving me snide digs now and then, even going as far as to do it when I was talking about Hillsborough, in the Liverpool thread, of all things, and for that alone your opinion of me means nothing.
