Liverpool thread 2019/20

[Vienna_70]

I am a little bit confused. Lfc fans boo the national anthem because the british government cut them off and cast them adrift. Yet no-one else in the impoverished north appears to boo the national anthem despite historically being treated the same. Im pretty sure those north of the liverpool manchester line arent delihted about the focus on their regions. Typical 'oh poor us but we keep smiling' scousers...

You should know by now, mate: always the victim. Never their fault!

Can't work out if this shit stain of a paper is their mouthpiece or they are taking the piss out of the fuckers.

Me neither, weird behaviour!

For roughly 200 years Liverpool was a rock-solid Conservative stronghold! In fact when the Liverpool & Manchester Railway opened in 1830 the Tory Liverpool MP William Huskisson was run over by Stephenson's Rocket on the opening day and died at Eccles that evening. Manchester didn't even have an MP then, and wasn't to get one until 1832, not having had one since 1660.
Oliver Cromwell had given Manchester its first MP during his time as Lord Protector but with the death of Cromwell, the ineptitude and reluctance of his son Richard to rule and the subsequent Restoration of the Monarchy when Charles II took to the throne in 1660 republican Manchester lost its MP while Liverpool's MP Gilbert Ireland was knighted!
Considering they're the 'istree club if you ever get into a discussion with them about the history of their actual city they're not so forthcoming! Seems that like the club (didn't win the FA Cup until 1965), their left-wing history is a relatively recent thing, only dating back to the early 1970s.

By the trackside, there is a small monument to Huskisson which refers to "the railroad".

Indeed!

Sadly, the Echo is deadly serious when it comes to Liverpool FC. They fuel the delusion of the fans.

 

[oakiecokie]

Fuck !! Thats another bastard cup they`ve won.

 

[Kinkladze 1]

Liverpool are relentless in their pursuit of silverware


Best placed penalties

Long range shots count double

Most fantasy football points

Shirt sales trophy

97 points trophy

Most fans walking to Wembley.

Rats aren’t they.

Probably and sometimes they are the worst type as they assume you support them. They are weird though as they fill up the pubs to watch them play the rags, arsenal, chelsea etc but don't understand the Everton rivalry. If I get in conversation with them I usually say I go more to Anfield as an away fan than they ever will. I work for a red but he is from liverpool and we never discuss the game really.

I am sure I read a post on here a couple of years ago when planes were not allowed to fly because of the ash incident the Dippers attendance for a game at Anfield was massively reduced. Mainly because none of their fans from Norway could travel to the game.

 

[Chris in London]

Is that a parody account?

Seriously? Average pre season shirt sales over a five year period?

 

[denislawsbackheel]

Where Huskisson was run over is in the middle of nowhere.

 

[The perfect fumble]

Nice one.....



I've never seen Steven so animated! Well, this animated and sober.

Apparently if you buy a candle you get a shirt free.

He was, but he was taken to Eccles where he died.

No words...

It's going to be a long season isn't it?

So if liverpool took the best penalty trophy did city therefore win the best goalkeeper trophy. I never knew football was so complicated. It's hard to keep up, I would love them to get 97 points and come second again

 

[Inter Me Nan]

It's going to be a long season isn't it?

Yup.

Yes it is
