Yup, if the bus gets attacked we should just turn around and leave the mess on the PL's plate.

They’d fuckin love that though. 3 points awarded to the dippers and probably a points deduction and fine for us. Leaving two of their beloved red shirts to battle it out for the rest of the season

The scousers will have their little singalong before kick off, then its time for the blues to get the place rocking. The "famous Anfield atmosphere" is a load of shite

Seen a lot of discourse on Twitter RE the Trent comments, many mentioning how we’re lottery winners.. for such a ‘socialist club’ you’d think that wouldn’t be demonised so much? While Tory is the biggest insult you can dish out in Liverpool these days (ignoring the fact that they’re a club founded by a Tory in a Tory city until relatively recently), let’s put it this way. This Liverpool team is a trust fund baby who inherited wealth and influence from their parents, and have attempted to use that to stop the upward mobility of the poorer man.

Imagine the average Scouse corner shop owner won the lottery and used his wealth to improve his local area, and put up a fight against (and beat!) the established supermarket corporations - he’d be hailed a hero. We’re that corner shop in the analogy and they’re Sainsbury’s trying to kill any competition

The irony being that Liverpool, a club who were created by someone who happened to have a stadium but no team, went from being in the second division for nearly a decade, to winning 13 titles in 25 years.

What happened? Funds pumped in on an unprecedented scale, that hasn't been since before or since for a second tier club - much of it from the family who owned the football pools.

Literally lottery money.

A part of their history they chose to ignore when you challenge them about it, especially paying inflated transfer fees to get them out of 2nd Div.

Transfers that were around half the world record transfer fee at the time.

It would be like Sunderland buying multiple £60m players today.

I know that he's just playing up to his fanbase, but I think in 5, 10 years time, Alexander-Arnold's quote will be brought up all the time as an explanation of why so many football fans despise Liverpool.

The levels of arrogance and narcissim needed to think you can tell other people what they felt about something, and that you felt more, is just off the charts.

Imagine actually telling a City fan who saw everything in the 80's and 90's and had to wait until they were in their mid-40s to see any kind of success in football that winning the treble doesn’t mean as much to them as much as Alexander Arnold cares about Liverpool's 9th League Cup?

Imagine claiming poverty when your squad cost €800m in transfer fees.

The funny thing is that for ages Liverpool fans have been adamant that the fact they plaster "THIS MEANS MORE" all over their stadium and kit is just sponsorship nonsense and not an insight into the mentality of the fanbase, and then a player comes out and shows the world that they do really think that.

Alexander-Arnold can't ever keep his mouth shut. His classless comments will come back to haunt him as demonstrated by the response of Haaland and Reuben. Met two Norwegian City fans last night. They said that in Norway LFC fans were despised by fans of all other clubs because of their arrogance. You hear the same comments across the world about Liverpool's fanbase again and again. But they still don't get it.

The cult are all over social media biting on Erling’s and Rubén’s comments.

No, I’ve never murdered anyone.

Said it a few times on here.

I lived in Liverpool for 5 years in the 1980s and was in Anfield with 11,999 others for a European Cup match v Dundalk. One of those magical European nights.
