That’s not hist... Rory, 'istree. That’s a list of the trophies that you have won over the years.

History and winning things are not the same thing.

This will be completely lost on him ;-)

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.

Obviously Mane's assault on Eddy never happened.

That was a clear case of head to foot.........

Just ask the insightful commentary duo of Tyler and Rat-boy

Just like salah’s leg breaker against (southampton i think) a few weeks back that wen5 totally under the radar

In all honesty, i hope salah does go Madrid because for all his talent, he is a cheating diving cnut

Hopefully Messi does to van dijk what he did to Boateng, and he never recovers.

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.

Take a bow

This fixture may have become the biggest, or most prominent game in English football, but suggest this was the case half a century ago offends the bounds of logic and common sense. It is a construct of the modern game and should be evaluated accordingly.

The only reason the Liverpool v United fixture became so prominent, and a supposed definition of rivalry in the English game, is that the two clubs peaks coincided with football becoming a TV based sport.
Sky had to push it's product, and didn't spare the hype at home or abroad. This also led to the huge numbers of armchair supporters who, predictably, largely supported the 'best' teams while mostly not having any deeper interest in football. Thus, they bought into the alternative reality hype.
Tbf, in this TV based reality that many fans live in, without much of the wider context of the real footballing world - and especially in places where these two clubs hoovered up most of the support - it is indeed a reality that they are by far the two biggest fanbases in a world that started in the early 90's. Everybody else are 'the others'.

The real world may have moved on, and the biggest game of the season in league terms is likely to include 'the others' (such as ourselves) and often not include either of the 'Sky 2', but commercially these two clubs generate most of the revenue - precisely because of those vast fanbases they created. And money talks. If either, or even both, found themselves fighting relegation their games against each other would still be billed as a clash of giants simply because in terms of fanbases, and therefore TV revenue, it would be.

Lets also not forget this is the club that backed a player that racially abused a fellow professional and then sat back.
