Liverpool Thread - 2021/22

[itsnevereasy]

They keep mentioning cheating, they don’t seem to accept that the highest court in sporting legal matters turned over Uefa’s kangaroo court. They seem to forget or maybe not aware that their own club failed financial fair play and were banned from Europe. Good thing for them they were that shite at the time they didn’t qualify when the ban happened. There is also the small matter of the million pound guilt money they mysteriously payed City for their hack of another organisation’s intellectual property.

Come on Pep six more wins before June please the piss boiling in Rhyl, Oslo and Warrington would be delicious.

There’s a few blues in Warrington ;) I and will fucking love winding up my next door neighbour here when we win the league.

 

[Blue Mist]

The fact that my neighbour is called Steve is irrelevant. It is why I haven't posted, daily, 100's of pages telling everyone of this irrelevant fact.

Perhaps the word irrelevant has a different meaning in dipperville because even though they say we are irrelevant, they don't stop going on and on and on and on about us.

Weird fuckers.

 

[Manc Born & Bred]

Yesterday the postman knocked early doors. I had just been out for a bike ride and had a city top on. Postman looks at my top and says. “ i really hope you guys win the league, I don’t think I could bear it if they win it, I hate them “
He then went into a five minute rant about them and their fans and basically said the same as us. Why do the media love them but every fan from every other club absolutely hates them.

He is a Chelsea fan and in his 50s. A normal working rational guy working and he proper launched in with a tirade cos he hates them that much. Made my day it did. Ha ha.

I’ve had fans of Palace, Chelsea, Brighton, Notts Forest, Plymouth, Leeds and even rags pleading with us to win the league. It’s a myth that everyone wants the wall pushers to win it.

 

[Bill the Blue]

They're not that special really..

We're now in May and they've only won the league cup ffs..

We win that all the time..!


If Chelsea turn up and we do our stuff, the dippers can look forward to booking their open top bus to parade the 3 handled trophy..!

Fingers crossed..!

These irrelevent c*nts make me sick to my stomach. Which I know is an oxymoron because why should I get wound up by them if they're irrelevent.

They are no different to Lance Armstrong. Cheating c*nts who win because they dope, they've doped for years in front of full view.

I'd give anything to see their owners fuck off. If they made their money and spent it then fair enough that's capitalism. But the financial doping robbed us from being as successful as 90s united, or 80s us.

Everyone who plays for them is a c*nt, Pep is a bald fraud c*nt. Their owners are actual evil. They own slaves and destroyed football. I wish bad things for them.

Unfortunately that is the future for the PL, they actively welcome and encourage it with Abu Dhabi and now the Saudi’s. They had an opportunity with this supposed investigation to punish the cheating bastards, but seem to be dragging their heels looking for a way to do fuck all about it.
Lance Armstrong eventually got punished, we just have to hope the same happens to the sportswashing cheats.
...................
Armstrong only ever got done long after his career was over and was never actually caught iirc? City should actually still be banned from the Champions League, they were caught, got off on a technicality and not once do BT ever remind us of the fact that the team who made the 2021 final and are in the 2022 semis shouldn't even be playing in it - you can be 100% certain if it was us, it would be constantly spoken about by both the media and fans.

This lot cheat in public, they openly laugh about it, they don't give a fuck and neither do the PL or UEFA. They have to bring in "fans" for CL games because they can't sell out, they fake their commercial revenue, they are a small club that cheats and the sad thing is, they will never be stopped, the game is dirty at the top.
...................
Manchester City are an invalid football team

I don't watch their games. They might as well not exist. Nobody I know talks about them except as a blockage on our way to the title.

I'd call it a silent boycott but I'm not arsed enough. A team of literal mercenaries bought with literal dirty money.

They are anti-football. I suppose their fans might like an identity other than deluded
....................
It’s just a shame we have to compete with them. This Liverpool team deserves better than to have to compete with a cheating, state-owned, financial doping sportswashing project.
Not just so they win more trophies, we famously went nearly 30 years without the title and not once did any fans think about giving up on football. For me football is as much about the journey than the titles, and what a fucking journey we are on. A rivalry is fine, it’s healthy , but not when that rivalry is with known cheats. It must be fucking horrible for the players knowing they are having to compete with the biggest cheats the sport has ever known.
That’s the thing - even if they do win league and champions league they’ll still be cry arsing about how the media is talking about Liverpool and Man Utd.
........................
I do think they’ll win the league but that’s just it - nobody will really care.
.....................

Then it got really weird...

Yeah once again Tierney gave them all the help he could.
.....................
what didn’t help was Paul Tierney; how he’s a premier league standard official I will never know but the likes of him and others need binning off.
.....................
They’ve all taken to Twitter to moan about Martin Tyler being a Liverpool supporter.
They are desperate to be liked. They claim the world hates them but can’t think why. They can’t see that people think they are insignificant because of their cheating.

They are a cult, reading that forum if anyone expresses even the slightest negative thought or doubt, they all pile in on that person.

The irony of a Liverpool fan saying ‘City should actually still be banned from the Champions League, they were caught, got off on a technicality and not once do BT ever remind us of the fact that the team who made the 2021 final and are in the 2022 semis shouldn't even be playing in it - you can be 100% certain if it was us, it would be constantly spoken about by both the media and fans.’

The historical version could easily be:
Liverpool should actually still be banned from the Champions League, they killed, got off with a 5 year ban and not once do BT ever remind anyone of the fact that the team who won the 2020 final and are in the 2022 semis shouldn't even be playing in it - everyone can be 100% certain as it was Liverpool, it would NOT be spoken about by both the media and fans.

I live in Warrington too. It's a good mix of City, Dippers, Scum and a few Everton. Always good banter at work but it's always pretty good natured.

 

[Robinho's Subbuteo]

I think the main reason most, if not all fans of other clubs DO NOT want Liverpool to win the League is down to how much they then RAM it in your face how no other club deserves to win anything ever and that silverware's only rightful place is in the trophy cabinet at Anfield. It's the arrogance and unbridled gloating that makes them so detestable.

Case in point ...

 

[deano ou812]

I’ve had fans of Palace, Chelsea, Brighton, Notts Forest, Plymouth, Leeds and even rags pleading with us to win the league. It’s a myth that everyone wants the wall pushers to win it.

This,it’s all being pushed by the media,my only conclusion is they are being paid to push this myth or they are red scouser supporters,come to think of it it’s probably both ..

I still have this uncomfortable feeling about Klipperty - nothing to do with football though. I believe he has some kind of mental disorder and there's more to this man than we'll probably ever know. I think if you scratch beneath that facade that he puts on in public you will find a man with some serious flaws in his psyche.
After a victory he stands there wearing his happy-go-lucky, 'everybody's best mate' persona, vigorously shaking hands with anybody and everybody, cheerfully slapping his players on the back and grinning like a demented hyena. But after a defeat he glares angrily at the reporter/reporters, trying to intimidate them, like one of those plastic 'hard-men' you get (Ronnie- "you fucking want some" -Pickering).
He has thinly-veiled digs at us (and one or two others, but mostly us), almost saying the word 'conspiracy' but skilfully avoiding it at the very last second for fear of recriminations...unlikely given he's a darling of the media and always good for a soundbite, like a modern day 'Twitcher' Redknapp.

Whatever it is that's eating away at him (beneath that boy-next-door image he likes to portray), it will erupt one day, somewhat spectacularly, and the world will see the REAL Klipperty - probably running a motel somewhere, stuffing birds, harbouring the long-dead corpse of his mother and waiting for Janet Leigh to run the shower.

As long as his only title is the Carabao Cup for this season he can be and act whoever he wants for me.

I believe they are hated by all other teams supporters, and all this talk about neutrals want them to win is bullshit. Case in point is a Hammers fan, normally quiet and reserved, but mention Liverpool (and MUFC) and they are the 'Red Shite'. Says it is because growing up in Cornwall, it was rammed down throats by glory hunters all the time.

He's a **** for what he said after we won at CAS.

Well another match day over and its , as you were.
Reading the last few pages and going through the media again I must confess to agreeing with many about the general content and tone of comments regarding this title run in. However, I got to wondering why this was.

Contrary to the general tone on here, which if i was trying to be a WUMMER, I would suggest was almost playing the LiVARpool victim card, I dont actually think it is a bias in the media. I think it is the bigger thing of a media that no longer simply reports the news, but instead tries to make it and direct it.

It is almost asif the whole media has become like Talksport, say something controversial to get a response, big up another club or manager, highlight quotes simply to create more angst , rivalry and general dislike/hate........... Click bait ahoy!....... and sell more content, advertising space and get more callers tpo justify their existence.

Yes, this existed on a smaller scale throughout the years but looking back I wondered if it started with Ferguson and was then amplified by the beats that has become the Premier league. Fergie started the needle, the "mind games" and then along came the likes of Wenger, Dalglish, Mourinho etc to bring about these rivalries (shades of Clough/Revie, which the media lapped up and perhaps shaped the way things have now become).

The fact is City have been ahead everyone else for the last 10years or so with the odd blip. The media and the premier league dont want that and so will do their utmost to big up anyone to create a story. Going on about us being the best team , best defenders etc, there is a case of boosting morale of the players but it doesnt cover the fact that you lot have won a damn sight more and it is for us to challenge and push you. This whole quad thing is the perfect example. City are champions, they are top of the league by a point and the title is in your hands. You are in the ECL semi and have a great chance to reach consecutive finals. Simply reporting that is safe and does nothing to create the rivalry and antagonism.

In the words of Mike Skinner
"Geezers need excitement
If their lives don't provide them this, they incite violence
Common sense, simple common sense"
