Haha! You've just reminded me. I was in the Liverpool end at that game in the wooden seats in the Main Stand and the two blokes behind me got really animated after the game at the players going round the pitch after the game calling it a "lap of dishonour".M18CTID said:jay_mcfc said:lloydie said:You'll like this one then...
That's because no-one in the past 25 years has seen it in full voice (apart from those special european nights). Admittedly it will be fucking vociferous a week on Sunday and their fans will be incredible and every single one of our players and fans has to stand up to it. But all this romantic bullshit from the Scousers is not for me.
Since my first visit in 1991 I've seen us play 17 times at Anfield and on plenty of occasions the atmosphere has been nothing special. Granted some of those matches were run of the mill league games but on one particular occasion in 2003 they were playing for a Champions League place while there was little at stake for us except to try and break a 22 winless streak at Anfield. Now some clowns on RAWK have slated our atmosphere for our CL game at home to Barca the other week saying we should've been much louder for such an important game but they had an arguably more important game against us in 2003 and the atmosphere was shocking apart from when they went a goal up. Anelka levelled for us but far from roaring their team on in the dying minutes, there was barely a whimper from the Kop. So much so that they didn't even bother getting YNWA going a few minutes from the end which they always tend to do. Of course, Anelka then went on to score a last minute winner and their fans went scurrying for the exits rather than applaud them off the pitch in what was their last home game of the season and also giving them a send-off ahead of their shit or bust clash away at Chelsea the following week.
That's the problem with Liverpool fans. They just expect to be spoon fed success.

Seems very strange that the very first year United fall from the top the medias other darling club appears up there and let's be honest the referees have been shall we say favourable to them at times.
Got no grudge against Liverpool good luck to them I just find it all very odd.
Good fortune with injuries? You kidding me?
We've had Johnson out for a number of games, Agger was injured, Enrique injured since November, Sakho has been injured, Sturridge missed 8 games through injury, Lucas has been injured, Allen has been injured. Hardly fucking luck mate! You say it like we've had no mid week games at all. Obviously we've had nowhere near as many as you but you're squad is bigger and better anyway so that is no excuse!

The thing with celebrating before winning a trophy is that I if you do win it you've already drunk the champagne. However lose it and you look like dicks.

It's a bit like spending your lottery winnings before the draw has even been made
