Tell me this isn’t true. Surely even this detestable bunch at least made it look like they were clapping?

I did notice a chorus of boos after the minutes applause. Was that for them not singing.

They very considerately started singing during the minute's applause for Eric HARRISON.

Anyone seen this post from a Liverpool fan on Red Cafe? I nearly fell off my chair reading it but fair fucks to him as he fucking nails it:

Unpopular opinion: Oil money is fine (in the PL), & the hatred towards the clubs comes from...

Entitlement & jealousy, moreso than any sort of morality.

City, & Chelsea before them - Both of them ruffled some feathers when their multi-billionaire sugar daddies took over, but their success has not been damaging to the league, and the hatred they've received is driven by factors other than the supposed morality a huge chunk of people claim. In the last 10/11 years, since the City owners have taken over, we've seen the following:

  • Some of the best attacking football the league has ever seen.
  • Two of the best all-round teams in Chelsea/City that the league has ever seen.
  • A more intense competition at the top of the table.
  • Not a single team has defended the Premier League, so it's not like they've bought invulnerability (like PSG did in their league, which is an issue).
Both entertainment value & competition have increased since Roman & the Shiekh's, so that's a good thing, no? To me, yes. I might've despised Chelsea at the time, but in hindsight, their rise to power has been fantastic for the league, and it changed the way I view City currently.

City's owners get stick for their awful human rights record (& rightly so), but I truly believe the overwhelming majority of their rival fans don't actually give a shit about any of the atrocities going on elsewhere in the world. They're more concerned with their league position than the state of human rights in Abu Dhabi & elsewhere. They're more worried about improved competition. They're worried about how it should be them at the top of the league, as these oil clubs just bought their way there.

... All the while secretly wishing it could be them playing the way City do right now. I know I wish we had a squad like theirs.

Am I wrong? If so, I have to ask one thing... Do you ever question your purchase of new technology (phones especially) knowing they're coming, in part, from modern slave labor companies like Foxconn? Or is that different because it adds something to your life, while oil money in other clubs seems like an injustice against what works for you.

I know I'll get stick for this, but whatever :D

There hasn’t been much said in the media about the best , most knowledgable supporters in the world not observing the minutes applause on Sunday. You can only imagine the outcry if that had happened during one at Anfield!

The commentator I heard said that the applause was observed by "most" of the Liverpool crowd, which is about as far as they'll go in criticising the finest supporters in the world.

Here you go mate: http://www.redcafe.net/threads/unpo...e-hatred-towards-the-clubs-comes-from.445330/

Actually, plenty of people agreeing with him but also a lot coming out with their hypocritical shite, claiming there would be riots at Old Trafford if the Saudis took over!

The fucking lying hypocrites would be over the moon if they were back to the point where they bought all the best players again , and removing all competition. It's exactly how they built their fuckwit fanbase !!

A school of fish A herd of sheep A rawk of unbearable w@nkers I think we can make that fly.....

I thought it was a shoal of fish and a school of dolphins

Collective nouns can be numerous for any animal, group etc.. for example, sheep can be in a ‘flock’ or a ‘herd’ or a ‘drove’ or a ‘hurtle’ etc, while dolphins and whales can be in a ‘school’ or a ‘pod’ etc.. so everyone’s correct and wins a packet of Dolly Mixtures!

As for The Anfield Road Formation Brick Throwers, well I wonder if the collective noun for turtles might be appropriate.. ‘a dole’.. because turtles only poke their heads out when it’s safe to do so (for example, when their team has been on a bit of a flukey winning streak, punctuated with lots of offside goals and dubious penalties) yet withdraw into their shells once their team is on the receiving end of a good tatering (for example, as with their recent performance at The Etihad)

There could be one other interpretation of ‘a dole of Scousers’ but I’m having trouble remembering what on Earth it could be (my age, forgive me.. I wish I could recall what it might refer to..)
