Liverpool thread 2018/19

[hammocity]

Just joined up to talk about next season's expectations but am surprised at the level of hatred dominating these pages at us. Anyway, I think we'll run you close again; no doubt City's squad is superior and Pep is such a great manager but I do think this has been a defining season for Liverpool and we'll be there are thereabouts again. I just can't see anyone else coming close to challenging.

Fuck me another one, are you going to admit your “supporters” have been responsible for the death of fans at football?

think they might struggle a bit next season to replicate what they have done. Although they got 97 points, I don't think they are one of the Premier League's great sides yet.

Hate to say it, but with 2 signings (and no departures), they'll have an incredibly solid team. De Ligt or another good CB and their back line is sorted, with no Lovren fuck-ups. Werner would mean they're rapid on the break, could play with 2 strikers, or drop Firmino into attacking midfield and play with 2 midfielders. Could probably achieve this for under £100mil. Not saying they're the best team, but as much as I hate to say it, possibly the most well structured.

We've got key players leaving (Vinny), getting older (Silva, Aguero, Fernandinho), big injury problems (Mendy, KDB) and a few rumoured to be leaving (Sane, Otamendi, Delph, Danilo). Our first 11 is better, but we've got a big window ahead of us. Hope they completely drop off, like.

Thanks for the offer, but I don’t need any help.

I’m at ease with my hatred of Liverpool fans.

Note: Not Everton fans or Scousers in general.

As a city I like Liverpool. It’s Architecture, the Waterfront, Albert Docks, the Edwardian Quarter, etc. It’s got so much going for it.

I agree with all of this. I worked in Liverpool for seven years and enjoyed it. I know a lot of good Liverpool fans but there is a cultural difference between Everton and Liverpool fans in my view. The Evertonians I knew were very like traditonal City fans with a gallows humour and very little arrogance. The Liverpool fans as a group (not on their own) were self-entitled and arrogant.
I know that Everton had a strong hooligan element in the 80s but, for me, attending Anfield where I witnessed first-hand stabbings and slashings was a much more hostile environment. The toxic atmosphere before the CL game was horrendous. Some of the fans I saw on the approach to Anfield were behaving like animals. It was just like the 80s. What pisses me off is the fact that none of this was properly reported by the media. If it had been Everton fans they would have been slaughtered by the press. There is a double standard with the way Everton are reported. I am old enough to remember when Liverpool celebrated their European Cup win in the 70s and Emlyn Hughes sung to the crowds: "Liverpool are magic, Everton are tragic." Instead of enjoying the moment he chose to mock their rivals. Tells you a lot about that club.

You’ve had a good season, fair play to Liverpool.
Unfortunately for you next season will be so much harder, not least as this season has been an abnormality for Liverpool.
Your players “will” get complacent and believe everything should be handed on a plate, instead of buckling down and pushing on.
Manchester City have proven their ability over a long period, and will continue to improve. The reality is City are not going to drop below the 95 point mark. So it is up to other teams to raise their levels.

I have a prediction, Liverpool will not achieve more than 83 points in the 2019/2020 premier league season, will not win a domestic cup, and go out of champions league at the first knockout stage.

Oh I nearly forgot, the unrest in your dressing room come the end of December, should be fun to watch.

Anyway, good luck for the upcoming season. Due to the implementation of VAR, I think your luck might not be as lucky as 2018/2019 season!

PDQ? Is that one of GDM’s cousins? ;)

Strangely subdued dippers at work on Monday, thought they would be rocking but they seemed almost embarrassed at the performance.
Granted not being born and bred scouser's they are less cult like and great for banter and never become entitled but still Liverpool fans.
All seemed to open with "wasn't a great game was it", even the pen was met with a "could have gone either way".
I dread to think how they would have been if they didn't get that second goal, it was their salvation.
One back in yesterday had his wallet lifted after he left the stadium, said those "Spanish light fingered f**ckers", I managed to raise a smile with a "surrounded by a hundred thousand dippers and a Spanish f**Ker beat them to it".

No no, we shouldn't hate them it's wrong.
I mean I loathe them with every fibre of my being.
But I don't hate them.

You're a representative of a football club that is universally despised everywhere outside of your own little scouse bubble. The animosity you arouse from fans of other other clubs is truly startling in both its intensity and ferocity. The club you support has a following that is responsible for some of the most horrific incidents ever witnessed in sports arenas anywhere on these shores: including murder. The disgusting behaviour of your fans stopped all English clubs from participating in the lucrative European Cup (as it was) for years and years, and yet not one word of apology has ever been sanctioned by your club. And this arrogant refusal to accept responsibility for your horrendous behaviour in the past is symbolic of everything that the entire footballing world loathes about you.

I don't know you, I've never met you, and you may well be as genuine a bloke as you could ever wish to meet, but I'm sorry mate, you're a fan of a club that I utterly despise and for that reason alone I'm out.
