Liverpool thread 2018/19

[mosssideblue]

Maybe us winning doesn’t mean anything but I got a feeling them not winning will boil their piss.

There will be a public day of mourning in dipperland when they fall short again

You are overwhelmingly referring to a 26 year period over the course of significantly more than a century, within which Liverpool were unquestionably imperious. My point, although arguably deficiently advanced in my previous post, is that over the course of that 100 years, for the vast majority of that time, 60 years at a guess, you’ve been ordinary, and lacking any real, or meaningful threat.

I state this not to belittle your club’s achievements, which were incredible from the mid-sixties to the late eighties, but to serve as a reminder that success, status and influence in football can be fleeting, and anyone who ascribes the title “nothing club” to a football institution that was formed in 1894, and has as much a story to tell as any other club, not only defiles that club, but every committed fan of any other club that just wants the club they support to be everything it can.

When Liverpool fans describe City in those terms (not saying you do btw) they defile so many other clubs by implication, which goes some way to explain why so many ‘neutrals’ want City to win the league.

History isn’t ultimately about trophies, it’s about people feeling that what they’ve invested in the past provides some sort of reward in the future; and there are no set of supporters in football who invested more in their club, relatively speaking, than Cty fans of a certain vintage.

We’ve got the stripes, and deserve every minute of what we’re now experiencing; and no Liverpool ‘fan’ from Bedford, who’s been to Anfield three times, and never had to properly dig deep as a supporter, can even begin to tell me otherwise.

Well put.

Great post.

Think it's starting to hit home that if we do our job there is fuck all they can do about it:

BINGO.

The best bit is the last comment, these fuckers actually believe that match going fans are behind them when its the plastic put on an England shirt for the WC & hang a flag out of the car, watch Tennis at Wimbledon for 2 weeks solid a year, live halfway round the world etc tits that are their only friends.

I’ve not heard anything so I assume that David Silva has got away with that flying kick to the chest the other night then? I guess there’s no longer anything wrong with making contact with the upper body of an opponent with your studs whilst you’re several feet in the air.

I hope Burnley are paying attention, Karate kicks are allowed fellas.

I'm shocked journalists haven't gone to the FA to point it out like they did to check on one of Mo's penalties, shocked I tell you.

Dippers must be like rags and have no sense of irony. Liverpool failed FFP in 2013 and only got away with it because they were so shit that they failed to qualify for Europe and therefore fell outside UEFA's remit for investigation and punishment. Didn't make them any less guilty though. But all those dippers with convenient memories won't have any of it.

I see klopp has put out another statement regarding salah scoring this season, he really is peddling a load of “how great we are” statements to the press

 

[ancoats]

again please please people ??? don't read into this shit about its over and liverpool are waving the white flag because city have 3 easy games and they will roll over without fight

its a dirty tac-tic by liverpool and the media and even pep was asked in his interview are the players tuned in or they think its over after beating united, its a tool used by old utd and fergie in the media by pushing the pressure on the shoulders of the 3 teams and their players we still have to play, nobody is saying liverpool have 3 easy game are they ?? and huddersfield did not roll over after 15 seconds and show fight ???? shocking by huddersfield ok they are down but come on 15 seconds ????

manchester city still have to go out and win the title in them 3 games and they will be just as hard if not harder in beating united and spurs and respect is needed, and pep and city know nobody is rolling over ?? its major headlines if you beat or draw a game with manchester city in this run in ?? its your cup final and day in the media around the world just waiting and burnley leicester brighton name in lights

He's dead right exactly the same as Mane.

Victims one & all.

Plus the fact, as much as any other club, they monetised the sport. They helped create the monster that is the modern game.
