In case you hadn't noticed nobody likes Liverpool fans, it's not just us.

For me, it started in the 70s with that pleasant jaunt across the appropriately named Stanley Park.
Followed by the daylight robbery of the '81 league Cup semi-final. Alf Grey, you wanker.
Then the constant booing of our team in the 2014 game at Anfield, even after us going along with your annual commemoration of "The 96". Laid a wreath on the centre circle, and took out a full page tribute in the programme, IIRC. Then the booing of Yaya as he was going off injured. Classless from your lot.
Then the giddy attitude of your lot on the run in. Mirrored last season. Never count your chickens, La.
Then there's the attack on our team coach last season. What the fuck did our players and staff do to deserve that?
Then there's the constant, borderline racist, slurs on our owners. Your owners aren't whiter than white fella. Furloughing staff until the shitstorm forced them to back down. Not to mention the disgraceful way some of your neighbouring residents were treated by the club;

Then there's the shite spouted by the likes of Aldridge.
Need I go on?
Dribbling quim ...ha ha ffs , can I borrow that ?
Booing of Ederson too. I never saw one Liverpool fan accept that should have been a red card, even with the evidence of Ederson's face.

We should take an active part in training ex players in the art of punditry, polishing the rough edges of em, helping them out in any way we can. Dunney had a decent run on BT Sport but then seemed to fall by the wayside, Micah’s starting to get work now, Michael Brown does a lot of radio stuff, Lescott too has had decent exposure, Hinchy gets gigs as a co commentator. So we’re beginning to build a presence in the media although we need to up the numbers.
The problem for me is that they all seem almost frightened to be too pro City, I don’t know if the producers or whoever warn them beforehand but they don’t show anything like the same bias that all the ex scousers and rags do. Obviously in an ideal world we want some semblance of impartiality but it’s not an ideal world so we should fight fire with fire and put across pro city points forcefully.

Give your fanny a wipe. They’ll have to play him instead of one of the front three and they’re the greatest, bestest front three in the history of the game.

As top quality as he is, I personally don't care too much for Werner. I think if I were a Leipzig fan I'd be getting more than a tad sick of him in the media TBH. Unusually for a German, he needs an education on when and when not to speak to the press. Prior to lockdown (I can't get into the BCD crap so haven't a clue how the Bundesliga is going on its return), he was involved in a title race and had just got through to the quarter-finals of the European Cup. And all his focus seemed to be on was openly flirting non-stop with L'pool! To then seemingly trying to play L'pool and Utd off against each other for a bigger salary.
FWIW, I don't happen to think we've ever been that interested even before CV changed the transfer landscape. (I don't know. Just an educated guess as the 'flirtings' been all one way/ there's been absolutely nottin out of L'pool/ RBL openly say they've had no contact from us And since the initial van Dijk fiasco, which ended up costing us another £20 million, the club has gone proper old school on their dealings with next to nothing coming out. And when they do feed anything, it's usually part of a smoke and mirrors game and they're actually after someone the media has no clue over.). But if we are, then he's been going the right way around talking himself, literally, out of a move. We value character and the person before the player in many respects along with them being the right footballing fit. And he's coming across as a 'me first' player and not a 'team-first' one. Which just doesn't fly under Klopp.
I mean skill-set wise, he ticks all the boxes to come in for any of the front three without a big drop-off. And the rumoured release clause makes him great value. (Or at least until the bottom fell out of the market through the pandemic.). He's a quality footballer who's not reached his ceiling yet.
But I think he's being pretty disrespectful to Leipzig to be honest and I'm finding the whole affair tiresome.
And, with Taki flashing more than enough to interchange with Bobby in his role, and Brewster set to be a big part of the squad going forward, the need to splash out major money on a forward just isn't there.
Yeah maybe I'm overreacting .
Winning 3 titles on the trot is a big ask in today's modern game..
If we get another CB this summer, I'm expecting it to be neck and neck again once new season starts.
How timely this post has become with this ‘kneeling’ today. Almost prophetic in irony.

Oh undoubtedly.
City and L'pool are a Country mile apart from anything else in this league that's never seen consistency like these two have shown over the last 2 years in it's entire history. Absolutely mindblowing the respective outputs over the past two/ three seasons. And I can't see anything other than it being a two-horse affair over the next good few years. So far are we both ahead of everyone else.
I also think we're both the best equipped to cope with the unprecedented situation we sadly now find ourselves in. The two best footballing sides in the country, lead by the two best teachers in the country who coach their way constantly through games. With the style of football we both play, rarely giving it away controlling games, it should be just like playing a training game for both.
We look forward to the challenge again next year. As I type I wouldn't like to call it either way.

When we did the fourmidables season and topped it off with the fa cup the headlines never made it past being up for 24hours.
Surprised? Nope not in the slightest.

City have been consistent for the last decade Liverpool have had 2 good seasons.
On best equipped to deal with what’s happening at the moment? Can’t be all sun and roses on Liverpool’s finances that they were considering furloughing staff. This will hit everyone with match day income effected, I don’t think your owners have the capability to protect the club from losses like Mansour can. Money ball will come back into play and either one of the front three will get off loaded. Your history chums in Stretford probably have a better chance than Liverpool medium to long term of surviving this with the revenues they create.
