Self flagellation is the name of the game on bluemoon these days. Everything about the club is rotten to the core. Fans, manager, players, doctors...everyone.
Everything about our club is growing and blossoming, yet this place has become overrun with whinging plums.
Dave, I'm amazed you don't find some of the atmospheres we've had this season worrying. We have been challenging for a title and it has been like a morgue at times. People can turn up late, go home early, sit in total silence, whatever, they have paid for their tickets they can do what they like. But it doesn't help the team at all when it's quiet and a noisy crowd can help drag teams through difficult moments. Anyway we've agreed with each other before that it isn't the supporters job to just blindly praise everything but to raise concerns if they have them so I'm not really sure what your gripe is.
No gripe with you lancet, I respect you, and it has been quiet at times, but that's just how it is in modern football. It won't be fully rectified until they stick the two singing ends together. Last night was pretty noisy at times but the first 20 minutes were dogged with two ends singing two songs constantly. It's never been the cauldron of noise some say, but we get up for it as a crowd when necessary. It doesn't mean city have shit fans, or have become overrun with day trippers, or don't care, or all the other stuff I keep reading. It's just been a bit of a nervy, stop start season and the fans have reflected that at times.
It's not just that in isolation,though, it just seems that everyone on here has a gripe at the moment, and everyone is pointing the finger of blame at everyone else. I've read this week that our players aren't committed enough, that we don't have winner or leaders, I've read that the manager cost us the title, that the captain cost us the title, that our set pieces cost us the title, that our players aren't hungry, our fans don't care, we need to ship out half the squad, get rid of our Director of Football. Everything.
It's all shite. The club is healthier than it's ever been. But you come on here and everyone's riddled with self-doubt, a lack of confidence, introspection, self fucking loathing. 'Do Liverpool want this more than us'? My fucking arse. Go and tell zab or vinny or joe or Silva or the rest of the squad that that's the case. It's just hyperbole, media shite. It isn't about "wanting it", it's about having the ability and professionalism to see the job through. And riding your luck, as Liverpool have for weeks now.
