I agree Thatcher was repulsive but it was every major City Town outside the south east and probably some there also that she destroyed so Liverpool fans thinking there hard done to bu her can join the very long queue.
Also why have they started this stance recently

I worked in Liverpool for most of the 80s, mainly because a lot of government money was pumped into the city to create work. They aren't work shy bastards but they are pretty fckin deluded. For some reason, I find this more with the reds than the blues.

That's why. It was comical because the one team Liverpool absolutely hate to lose to is United. Also the rags aren't a threat to us and haven't been for years. Liverpool are and will continue to be. Let's be honest United absolutely got away with one here. That game should have been about 6-2 to Liverpool. It was a freak result, but they got it, sadly something we can't seem to do at Anfield. There are some signs the rags are improving but whether they can get back to the very top again is debatable.

Spuds & dippers are games I never expect us to get results

There's probably more than 1 problem affecting Liverpool but I am surprised that few people have suggested that they might be suffering from a collective lack of intensity that you sometimes see in the season after a team wins a title. I suggest this because it's not just 3-4 players who are under-par but the whole team.

This does indeed happen.

Also, the opposition has a different mindset when playing the champions. It’s harder to win the league when you’re the champions because it’s often the opposition’s cup final each week when the fixture of the champions pops up in the calendar and each player tries ~5% harder against you than they might have done if you weren’t the champions.

Opposition crowds are more up for it when the champions come to town n’all.

Which is why City’s four league titles in a row is one of the greatest achievements ever. To keep doing it over-and-over when everyone raises their game against the champions every season… incredible!

The last time any club other than City won back-to-back titles was United in 2009. Take Pep and Ferguson out of the equation and only Chelsea with Mourinho (2004 and 2005) have managed to do it since ex-City player Joe Fagan lead on from Bob Paisley’s back-to-back titles with Liverpool (1982, 1983 and 1984).

Teams who win back-to-back titles are the truly special teams.

Difference between us the dippers and the rags.
And possibly arsenal is they think they deserve to win something.
They think they have a right to it.
For us.
Everything is a bonus .
But we have pep.
And haaland.
The best manager ever.
And the best goal scoring freak ever

Everything since the Aguero moment has been a bonus for me, the rags being shite for the last decade and having outspent us (i,m pretty sure) to be that level of shite is the cherry on a very big cake :-)
Happy days :-)

I think we’ve had slightly more outgoings on transfers than them but their net spend is fucking miles above ours.

Imagine they went on a run like us last season,
We started the season winning without playing well then from October to December couldn't buy a win.its not far fetched that the scousers could do something similar.
And I'll love it if it happened.
Imagine being them.

I think we started the season playing badly but getting fortunate wins and then struggled as maybe belief ebbed away.
Hoping the dippers follow a similar pattern but without our late season surge to get top 4.

You can go back to the early part of this century with Liverpool doing this:

They got 80 points in 2002 and 64 points in 2003
They got 82 points in 2006 and 66 points in 2007
They got 86 points in 2009 and 63 points in 2010
They got 84 points in 2014 and 62 points in 2015
They got 99 points in 2020 and 69 points in 2021
They got 92 points in 2022 and 67 points in 2023

They got 84 points last season…

Although they did get 97 points in 2019 and 99 points in 2020, and won the CL in one of those seasons (but they had one of the greatest teams ever in English football at the time, they aren’t at that level now).
And 82 points in 2024 and 84 points in 2025.

In some ways we could be considered to have dropped the ball last season allowing them to win with a stupidly low points total but Pep and the players had given so much over the previous four seasons that I did not get too depressed - unending success gets boring right.
Not sure what Arsenal's excuse for failing was. Compared to the dippers they were on the receiving end of some shit (but very funny) officiating but so were we when we won our titles.

We had a ton of injuries and had not spend half a billion quid

Very true

I do think our whole structure of the team seems more secure than last year as well. Pep has definitely changed a few things/made a few tweeks here and there yet still managed to retain our identity.

Still a way to go but second half of the season will be very interesting if we can keep rodri fit plus other key players....

The media are on about we are a one man team (Haaland) but I do think we have the options to cope even without him....Foden, Cherki, Marmoush as a front three for instance has amazing potential....playing some sort of false 9 approach with those three (you can add any combo as well with either Doku or Sav as well - but th initial 3 are way better finishers at present).

Main issue is still defensively for me...still looks a bit too open despite the clean sheets.

Liverpool have made the mistake of giving Van Djik and Salah huge new contracts given their age. As we saw last season ageing world class players can suddenly fall off a cliff form wise. They are also trying to incorporate too many new players into positions they probably weren't really needed. They are going to have to strengthen their defense and then they will be probably be permanent challengers again.
As for us, I have no idea. This is because too many of our new players haven't been able to settle in because they've been injured. Add on the bloody international breaks which also means we haven't had enough time to gel properly. In spite of all this and after a poor start, there we are in second place. The lack of goals aside from Haaland is a worry but hopefully Marmoush and Cherki can step up once fit. Talking of fit, if we can get Rodri fit and back to his best our chances improve significantly.

You can definitely see Van Dyke is struggling..he aint been the same since that big injury and despite a period of 6 onths or so where he might have remained some of his former power he aint ever in reality been back at that level - and yet they aint gone and got a replacement - very strange and short sighted.....

We made the same mistake to a lesser extent with KDB and Walker last year....one year too many probably for both and it looks like the scousers could be making the same mistake with Salah as well - still a very good player but not at his peak

The game at anfield will be very interesting - as the home team and with their fans levels of entitlement burning in their ears they will have to come out to attack us...and we are now a different animal in that we can now exploit that better than we have previously (we could have done it with Sane and Sterling years but we were so dominant we never really had to). IF thye come at us we could very easily exploit that space in behind them
