Good luck to you then. I am all for banter and funnies. I just remember Rags saying to me when we were in the third that they'd wish we'd go out of existence. I promised myself that I would never be like them and so I won't.
I don't want Liverpool to go out of existence. I just want them to get relegated to the Conference, have Anfield by sold to a Thai property developer and have to be forced to play using a couple of spare "Champions 2014" shirts as goalposts on Stanley Park.
It's not banter or funnies, I genuinely dislike them as a club, think they've consistently cost English football more than they've brought it and have the most insufferable fans in the entire world. They are a perfect example of delusional groupthink to the point where their fanbase literally used "he didn't call us a big club enough" as one of their excuses to sack Hodgson. Rodgers like all other managers is expected to constantly fellate the egos of them, telling them how massive they are, how special they are and how The Liverpool Way™ and the Spirit of Shankly™ will see them though. Not fellating the ego of Liverpool supporters is literally a sackable offense. Even United haven't disappeared up their own arse and they genuinely DO have a claim as one of the biggest clubs in the world. Liverpool's claim to fame in the world of football is that they used to be really good 30 years ago. No other "massive club" in world football has gone a quarter of a century without winning their domestic league because such a claim would be ridiculous for anybody else who aren't the laughing stock in Liverpool. In 25 years they have won 4 major trophies and proclaim themselves as this massive club akin to a Real Madrid or Barcelona.
That's just a minor irritation though comparatively. The absolute and utter worst thing about them though, the one single thing that I can never get over, is the fact that they act and seem to believe that they are the moral arbiters of football and a measuring stick for others. These people who have murdered other football fans. These people whose hooliganism was so bad that the entire of England were internationally shunned by its peers, heavily restricting our international development for a decade. These people that smash up coaches, have fans charged for racist abuse and have constant reports of violence coming out of their club still to this very day. These people who proudly and triumphantly stood behind a racist. These people who have commercialised the Hillsborough disaster as part of their "brand". These people who demanded a change in legislation to give them more money at the expense of smaller clubs. These people who barracked for the Premier League to be setup and giving all revenue to them instead of spreading it out across English football for the development of all. These people have the gall to suggest that they're above the rest of England when they're one of the reasons for everything bad in English football.
They're Millwall with a better PR department. The only reason at all that anybody supports this absolute scum of a club is that they have built a bullshit ethos around themselves that falls apart under even the slightest bit of scrutiny, a scrutiny that only Liverpool fans are unable to muster. They have wave upon wave of people selling out any and all morality to join in with their enforced and undeserved superiority complex. You see here's the thing, City have done some extremely good things that we should be proud of. We have also done some lowly things that we should be ashamed of. We as City fans, like almost every other set of fans in England accept this about ourselves and try to retain a sense of humour about it all. We're not perfect but we accept and live with our mistakes. Liverpool fans drown their mistakes in a sea of false righteousness.
They are literally murderers, hooligans and thieves who proclaim a superior morality to the rest of us. This, along with their undying need for attention and validation to continue their "we're a massive club" echo chamber, is why everybody from the Mackems to the Hammers think they're a total bunch of wankers and have absolutely no sympathy for them when they eventually slide back to the upper midtable position they will be in again next year.
This isn't the rags saying City should be out of existence because we're rivals in a city. This is the whole world of English football fandom wishing for a club to go away because it's caused more than enough damage to us already
