Liverpool Thread | 2025/26

Read the comments. LFC fanbase gets absolutely slaughtered!

And so they should be.

You can’t utter a single word in the away end at Anfield anymore without getting spotted by Liverpool stewards and plain clothed Liverpool staff constantly watching the away fans, getting taken out of the ground, getting arrested, and getting a 3 year football ban. Whilst the Liverpool fans on the KOP and other Liverpool fans in every stand can sing Manchester is full of shit, shit, and more shit, knowing they can get away with doing it.

The 2 Liverpool cunts who spat at Pep were told to do a behaviour course(really), warned, and moved to 2 different seats. They weren’t banned for life. If that was any other club those 2 fans would have been banned for life. But not at Liverpool. J.W.Henry and LFC are shit scared of Liverpool fans.

Yes,

Another good descriptive word for them is 'contrived'.

Or “Bus Wrecking Twats”.

 

[Oldham Exile]

I’m a descendant of Irish, and Scottish, immigrants but I respect our anthem.

Well said.

I am Manchester born and bred, but having worked in several countries I have many times shown respect to the anthems of those countries. It is just ignorance the way the cult members behave

 

[Oldham Exile]

I couldnt give a crap what the motivation is, what scousers need to understand is that they ARENT special, you cant do one thing and then cry when exactly the same is done to you thats not how the world works and until you get that through your thick heads, that you are NOT special, you are NOT victims, you have done plenty of reprehensible shit yourselves then quite frankly any explanation, gnashing of teeth or crying can fuck right off.

Superb, well said - detailed, but succinct

 

[Oldham Exile]

No, it absolutely can be discussed, it cant be discussed with liverpool fans because of your myopic view of yourselves and how everything you lot do is justified and everything that is done to you is awful and heinous and shouldnt be allowed, until you come down off your faux moral pedestals and take a hard look at yourselves and your own actions then no it can not be discussed with scousers as they dont have capacity to understand.

Oh FFS - superb again.

Glad you find the time to respond the the supercilious bollocks this fella posts - I couldn't (and frankly don't understand why any of us have to)

I reckon that if one were to put every fanbases forum/social media posts, side by side, one would see a lot of recurring themes.

Bent officiating
Rule changes are to stop us competing/winning
Every club spends money but us! where is our money going? Why don't we spend it?
They only won by cheating
Media hate us
Commentators hate when we score
They only won because we were shit
We hate united.
Player X should play instead of player Y
A lot of blind hope about other clubs decisions being detrimental to their prospects.
Unnecessary vile hatred

No fanbase displays any self awareness. One will see a minority section, in each, that do. They will be quickly pounced upon if they post anything that goes against the narrative.

That is every fanbase across the football world.

Some clear truths in your post.

However, whether you accept it or not, and especially since Pep's time here, the issue is the depth of entitlement, delusion and lack of self-awareness which your fan base has assumed due to the success we have enjoyed.

This has been similar with fans of other clubs but, the depth and intensity of the bitterness from dipper was especially highlighted during the Klopp era, due to the fact that he personally demonstrated some of the worst examples of entitlement, poor behaviour and lack of sportsmanship which was then seized upon and copied by many of your supporters.

The examples of bad behaviour by your fans, bricking City's coach for instance, and other disgusting examples, were never called out by Klopp or acknowledged by the club. And that seemed to embolden the very worst of your supporters into believing that they are somehow different or special.

Every club has some bad supporters in their midst, however it appears that due to too many " blind eyes being turned" or a lack of outright condemnation being displayed, boundaries have been stretched beyond the decent and acceptable levels.

Not expecting agreement btw.

So many fans of other clubs come on here and start out ok, but inevitably they tread on someone's toes because of their blinkered look at the sport. They say they are just being honest but they know full well they are biased and will leap to defend their club when they feel they are being unfairly criticised by the forum regulars.
Assuming that we're all genuine football fans and of sound mind etc, we none of us are ever going to change our allegiances to the clubs we love. So other fans coming on here and defending their clubs is only natural, but why sign up to another forum in the first place? There must be plenty of football forums out there for people who just want to talk football in general, not necessarily about the clubs they support, but just chat with other like-minded fans of the sport. Going out of your way to sign up to another club's fan forum seems rather odd to me, but each to their own. But I often wonder if deep down those people are secretly looking forward to winding some people up, or get some kind of thrill out of arguing with someone they will likely never meet in the real world.

As I say, it just seems a bit odd to want to 'infiltrate' another fans forum, but I am an FOC and stuck in my ways, so what do I know?

 

[Vienna_70]

Liverpool have created a problem for themselves in extending the playing contracts of Van Dijk and Salah. You can bring in players like Guehi in the transfer market but how do you drop such significant players from the squad?

SSN keep telling us what a well run club Liverpool are when it comes to the transfer market but I think they have made a significant mistake.

Many criticised City for not renewing Sergio, Kevin and others, but mostly, they have proved to be the correct decision.

It was clear last season that, that KdB was nowhere near the player he once was, and that it was time for him to move on.
It’s a decision I fully backed.

 

[Vienna_70]

You can't separate footballing rivalry from the situation. If you can tell me why, anything you just typed, relates to me personally, I'd be most appreciative!

I am talking about incidents, were people in positions of power know about them, orchestrate cover ups and hide their own involvement. There are many many cases were people are dismissed easily and told they are wrong, or they are lying.

Some people will stand up and not let that be the last of it. We've seen peaceful protests. We've seen riots. Booing the national anthem, on a televised event, is just a protest. There were protests at Glastonbury on live tv. It attracts attention and gets people asking questions. City protested against the Champions League anthem.

What’s booing the national anthem protesting against?

 

[69FACUPfinal]

He has been a liability for years. He has this strange way of defending when players run at him, he stands to one side and runs alongside with them and let's them shoot. He rarely gets involved in actual defending, he leaves that to others. He can ping a ball over to salah and that gets the media creaming in their pants. He will disposes players but just like other big defenders do with there bodies.
He ain't shit but he isn't this God like figure the scousers and media put him on.
Remember watching a game of theirs and a ball went over the top, VVD had a 10 yard start, the ball was travelling at pace towards the keeper so the forward give up the chase. This prompted the commentary to state the forward knew he was up against VVD in a battle he wouldn't win so give up and then spent the next 5 mins that he has that mental effect on strikers to give up!.
The forward was never getting the ball even if there was no defender there.

Hence why I refer to him as Virgil Van Hype.

 

[Vienna_70]

Only when you get beat;) When they beat us it was as if they won the Champions league to some.

As Pep said, if the Community Shield means nothing, he might as well have put out a team of City supporters.

 

[Oldham Exile]

How many tributes / silences should there be?
Ultimately, although very sad this young man killed himself, his brother and devastated the lives of their family with what seems to have been an entirely preventable act of dangerous driving. To be blunt, victims of the stupidity most of us exhibit as young men but are lucky enough to get away with - probably because we can't afford to do it in anything more racy than a 1300cc banger at that age. I don't think it's ok to disrespect the tributes etc, I'm just not sure they should be happening.
About 5 people a day are killed in road accidents in the UK every day and road traffic collisions are the biggest killer of young people aged 15 to 29 worldwide. In 2023, as a result of a road collision 290 young people were killed in the uk and nearly one quarter of all road collisions involved young people.

Being really talented, rich, playing for Liverpool, and the accident happening in another country does not make this sad event any more notable than any other. Imho

Spot on, however

If you are a person that a cult relates to and a) that cult are obsessed with them being 'special and b) that the really unfortunate (but not unusual) event that brought a premature end to your life can be used to promote not only that specialism but as a bonus - Victimhood - it is perhaps not a surprise that the opportunity is maxed

We have one on the scouse thread every year . Not sure if it’s the same weirdo spouting the same tedious shite as they all sound the same to me !

 

[Innsbruckblue]

This football club and the way it is treated is excruciatingly tedious now. The fawning over them from the media, and not just in the UK, the German/Austrian press have had hard-ons for them for decades, and the deliberate ignorance of anything remotely negative done or caused by their club/players/fans is off the scale. I’m certain that any other club in any other league in the world would have been crucified in the media for booing that country’s national anthem in a showpiece event (political rivalries aside). We can go into other events, such as Suarez’s racism and his teammates’ support of his actions, attacking buses, rival fans, storming stadiums without tickets, Heysel, etc., but not one other football club in the world has called them out. As long as the media and the rest of the footballing community aloow them to, that club and its fans will just continue.

 

[StillBluessinceHydeRoad]

The atmosphere in the Palace end was fantastic. It was a great match to watch and very competitive. Palace have now beaten City and Liverpool at Wembley. That’s great for them.

And both wins aided by poor penalties from the losers. Thar was a cause of triumphalism and merriment for scouse fans last May. But didn't we only miss one?!

I think I recall Klopp saying something about doing things in a right way. That he liked the welcoming idea (I am paraphrasing) but in a right way. It is not a strong enough statement. Not a deterrent. I think an awful lot of people there had good intentions. Those bellends are typical of modern society. They don't care about anyone but themselves. I have no doubt, they went there with the sole intention of causing trouble. I am not disputing which club they are fans of. I do feel that a lot of them, would have been somewhere else causing trouble, had that 'event' not been taking place.

I am not sure, but you maybe, referring to fans mainly on social media/RAWK? IF you are, I stay away from those places, some absolute empty head Liverpool fans on those. I can't dispute that. It is correct. I don't even need to see more evidence than i've seen with my own eyes. I think it is a lot of the younger end, 25 and under, that get over excited. They are prominent in other fanbases too.

Supporters have been banned.

 

[OnlyOneUweRosler]

My memory is not the best and I do get muddled with dates and things!

McManaman - in 97 Barcelona bid £12m for him. It was accepted. Deal fell through because of wages. He ran down his contract and left on a free 18 months later for Real Madrid. It wasn't well received. Real weren't a dominant force even in their own league at that time. I think remember he got booed before he left at a game against spurs.

Owen left for a fee. A small fee but he wanted to go and I don't think at the time we could offer both him and Gerrard a new contract. Not on the terms they wanted. I don't recall all the finer details of the Gerrard situation but I do remember some guy burned a shirt which was shown live on sky sports. Not done just for the cameras obviously! I think it was Benitez had just joined as manager and Gerrard said something about the clubs ambition. Benitez and Mourinho were considered the best young managers around and proven winners. I think it was all about a new contract and bigger wages in Gerrard's case - he took offence that negotiations had gone quiet because it was end of the season and people had gone on holiday! There was a lot of confusion and a lot of rumours. Nothing has ever been revealed despite those rumoured people no longer being with us.

TAA I think if he had said 12 months ago it would be his final season then he'd be better thought of by many of those that are irked. He is entitled to leave for free but I think as a boyhood supporter people are asking where is love for the club is? He could have signed a contract extension with a minimum release clause. Left in a 'better' way. That is why he was booed. The social media hateful and vile stuff can get to fuck. Wankers.

Personally I wish him the best of fortune. We'll move on. I believe that will be the feeling of most level headed supporters in the long term.

I seem to recall (correct me if I'm wrong) that Owen said he was leaving Liverpool because he wanted to win a Champions League, and he didn't feel Liverpool could.
