One of them will reply to a post from three weeks ago soon. Then log off, log in as the other and like the post. As sure as Hancock will lie sometime this week again.Have they gone? This feels like when you’ve got hiccups and you’ve just took the biggest breath ever to get rid of them...................
It was round about then with me too. Despite Heysel I can remember not really hating them after that and even when they gave us the obligatory home battering in the FA Cup QF in 88 that i was mad up for i wasn't foaming at the mouth but like you, by the time they played the Arsenal game I was praying for Arsenal to win it. I think i was already pissed off by the media back then, they kept saying that the whole country want Liverpool to win it because of Hillsborough yet nobody i knew wanted em to win it. I was ecstatic when Palace beat em in the semi around that time too.One of them did say something that got me thinking yesterday though. It was something about when we started to despise them.
This got me tracing back my relationship with that club over the years.
My older brother is a rag. He used to insist on playing subbuteo with United’s white away kit. Playing as City against United in white seemed odd to young citykev, so I used to play as Liverpool.
My Irish Grandad liked them and I wanted them to do well for him. However, something had changed by the time they played Arsenal in the famous Michael Thomas game because I desperately wanted Arsenal to win. I don’t really remember why my feelings changed. Maybe because others around me didn’t like them. I went to school with a load of reds.
Obviously over the years, I’ve witnessed first hand the antics of their fans, the actions of the club and wherever you go in the country - there’s a load of them who have no connection whatsoever with Liverpool but claim to be staunch supporters.
I reckon I can honestly say today that if they faced each other in a Champions League final, I’d see United as the lesser of two evils and would probably prefer them to win.
I don’t think he was rating them on footballing ability, tbh.Ian Rush is one of the best strikers the UK has ever produced.
Even a blind man could see that.
I absolutely agree. I was about 12 years old when he dived for a penalty at Maine Road over Tony Coton and got up laughing. I never liked him after that.Ian Rush is one of the best strikers the UK has ever produced.

I met Roger Hunt a few years ago. He was ok.Can you think of any Liverpool players last or present who haven’t been thunder****s? I’m on 3.
Out of the current squad, Alisson, Oxlade-Chamberlain and Wijnaldum seem alright. Can't stand most of the others though.Can you think of any Liverpool players last or present who haven’t been thunder****s? I’m on 3.
I feel your pain... my brother is a rag. Being 7 years older than me he always managed to beat me at Subbuteo as wellOne of them did say something that got me thinking yesterday though. It was something about when we started to despise them.

Ian Callaghan and Alec Lindsay seemed OK, if you’re old enough to remember them.Can you think of any Liverpool players last or present who haven’t been thunder****s? I’m on 3.
