Fuck off, us older fans who remember their halcyon days, know they were just as
fucking arrogant and entitled as the Rags. That's the real reason the hate each other so much,
they see a lot of themselves in each other and it's not good looking in the mirror when you're
a bunch of grade A twats.
Spot on assessment imo.
Hate both of them in equal measure. Grade A twats (as you so rightly describe them)

This is the first time I've registered on an opponents forum but I find it bit concerning that things are getting sour recently, it's fair to say there's never really been much animosity between City and Liverpool fans.
What I find annoying from both sides is people nit picking comments from both boards and labelling it 'this is what they're like', and others just throwing fuel on the fire and building up hatred and vile.
It's a sign of the times I suppose, the rise of social media and all that bollocks means it's a bit too easy to take a look at your opponents. But people need to be realistic, we've all got bias that lends itself to our respective clubs so views are often exaggerated. And of course, we've all got absolute whoppers that spout shite - it's the cousin you don't want to invite to the family party but at the end of the day he's family.
All this being said what has baffled me is the reaction by many here to some of things our fans have done or said in recent months. We've been singing 'we're gonna win the league' for most of this season, what I don't get here is why it's being interpreted as expectation or arrogance? I tell you this, none of us are under the delusion that we're going to win this - but fuck me we have a good chance of doing so and we want the players to feel the same.
Why is this being attacked? We're showing support for the club and a bit of belief, why should we keep quiet and not dream of achieving what at the start of the season was unthinkable.
The criticisms of the organised event yesterday where we met the team with flags and banners is just as confusing to me, it's all in the same vein. Giving the team our support and showing we believe they can go on and do this. Anfield hasn't always been the loudest in recent years it was nice to see something akin to a Champions League night. It's not expectation or arrogance, it's support. Just as many of you turned up and supported City through the lower leagues.
Just confused the hell out of me that!
Anyway, if we don't win the league I hope you guys to. Anything but Chelsea or United (ha!)
Sorry pal but singing 'we're going to win the league la' comes across as being a bunch of arrogant knobbers

Fucking hell, Liverpool fans are by no means the first to sing "We're gonna win the league". I reckon the fans of most clubs have sung that or something similar in the past. If that makes them arrogant, then you could say exactly the same about the penultimate line of the Zabaleta song ("And when we win the league, we'll sing this song again").

Sorry pal, although I agree with a lot of what you say there is no excuse for lining the streets and singing it so obviously as that with your 'we've been to europe' flags waving all over the place. It's the kind of thing you do when you are three points and 10 goals clear heading into the last game. I know what you mean about other songs and if this was a spontaneous shout during a 3-0 home victory I could understand but these videos are pretty damning in my eyes and don't be surprised if City and Chelsea are watching.

Rubbish. No way on this earn are scousers as bad as rags. When they were dominant you didn't get the refs taking it up the shitter for a cheating drunken **** of a manager. If not us then definitely I want them to win it.

M18CTID said:Football fans in getting ahead of themselves shocker. I really don't see the issue and I seem to remember a victory against Birmingham at Maine Road in the penultimate game of the 1999-2000 season sparking off a mass pitch invasion and jubilant scenes. Anyone watching on the box would've been mistaken for thinking we'd already been promoted, despite the fact that we still had to go to Blackburn and get a result the following week.
