Liverpool Thread 2013/14 (continued)

[Chris in London]

That will never happen,this fucker has a portrait of himself in every room at home.

Only so he never forgets what a twat looks like.

Funny thing is in all their deluded fantasies Andy Carroll features as the player that is going to do for us. Why?I thought they hated the twat?

Is it too much to hope for a Carroll OG on Sunday?

Of course not.

Let's hope that Allerdyce knows of his impending sacking, and sticks two fingers up to the board by selecting a reserve team.

How much would I get if I put
£10 on

Liverpool to win league 14/1
And west ham to beat us 12/1

I put £50 on Liverpool to beat palace and it didn't come in. Hopefully this one's the same

just been on 2 sites and it won't let me do the double

It's been really sad listening to all this negative crap from Liverpool fans about our great club. All of a sudden we are all 'plastic fans' and are a joke club with no history.

It's particularly odd as for the past 20 years I've had Liverpool fans telling me that we were a proper club and the true fans of Manchester. I've been told dozens of times how we are their second favourite club.

 

[I'm With Stupid]

When they start talking about FFP, just point out this little inconvenient truth.

They've lost £140m in the last 3 years. Not as much as us, but still too much for the FFP rules.

 

[foetus]

One thing I don't get is Liverpool fans think they deserve to win the league because they play attractive football. Putting aside the flawed logic, do we not play attractive football ourselves?

 

[ForzaMancini]

TBF, had a look on RAWK for their thread about us winning the league and while there were about 30%ish being bitter, the rest were complimentary of the club and rational regards our spending. If Liverpool had (or do, God forbid) win the league I think there would be plenty of us being bitter towards them, me included no doubt!

 

[prestonibbo_mcfc]

Many bitter, child-like comments on RAWK/Twitter but on sites such as RAWK if you look at the topic which these comments arise from, you'll see many Liverpool fans challenging these opinions.

I don't think it's a coincidence that we (city) have the highest average age support in the league, and one of the more mature viewpoints usually when commenting on football matters.

Places like Ragcafe/RAWK are packed full of angry teenage boys, late for school as they're up all night on these forums.

This place will be the same in years to come as our fanbase average age lowers.

Should have our age displayed under our usernames as I feel it's relevant to how the comments are expressed.

Plenty of older people spout complete bollocks, to an extent age should be irrelevant.

Don't be so hard on yourself ;-)

That post taken from RAWK earlier in the thread puzzled me a little bit then I remembered where the reference Kool Aid came from: "ou know what galls me even more Timbo? That to the players, there's no real love or even passion for the club. More likely to kiss their bank statement than the club crest. Oh yeah, that club crest with the 3 fucking made-up stars.

They are indeed Mercenary FC, complete with ridiculous salaries and an artificially rigged chance at silverware every season. Soulless in every sense. They may as well have changed the club's name. Nobody grows up wanting to play for Manchester City, and that's not going to change in my lifetime. As for the fans, well the vast majority have drunk the Kool Aid and jumped aboard.

All of which is why I've delighted in watching them repeatedly fail in the CL, and long may it continue, however many times they buy their way to the title. Then there's the FFP arrogance. Hopefully UEFA prove not as toothless (or corrupt given Platini's beloved PSG) as we all fear, this mooted transfer cap is a positive sign at least.

The only redeeming factor they have is their current manager. Like Ancelotti (and Rafa) at Chelsea, the man has too much class for that club".
There was a massacre in America in the 70's (I think) basically it was one of the crazy cults that seem to spring up over there that decided that mass suicide was the thing to do after their leader poisoned himself by drinking cyanide. The term drinking kool aid came to represent the idiocy of a mob of blind unquestioning followers.
It would appear that irony is not writ large on Merseyside.
