This season I've rarely enjoyed being part of our fanbase. We've seemed really dull, we've sang very shit songs, and in some games when the team has really needed us we've been fucking shit (Liverpool League Cup semi-final 1stLeg, Sunderland on Saturday, and a number of away games). There's nothing about us this season, other than dullness!
The one thing I have realised about success and fans is that the more successful a team becomes, the less passion the fans exhibit.
I have attended games at OT, and felt an urge to sit with the away fans. I even had a row with a guy because he looked like he was getting annoyed at me singing. Granted, I have a terrible voice, but ffs, it's a footie match. Compare that to when we play away, and anyone would think we had some of the loudest fans out there.
Unfortunately, success brings the prawn sandwich brigade to matches.
