Liverpool thread 2019/20

[gordondaviesmoustache]

I have to disagree and think that most of the top half of the prem clubs do try and come up with something to sell more merchandise or create "the brand". Then just degrees of cringeworthyness?
I think many fans...or maybe even most fans would look at the Liverpool slogans and shrug their shoulders, "meh" or just shake their heads. But with the ire that comes the way of Liverpool (unsurprisingly) on this forum it is used as one of the many sticks to beat "us" with.
Whenever I do see it on the hoardings around the ground I do shake my head a little and almost look back fondly to the days when you would have had boards for Greenwoods for men, Castrol GTX, The local Ford dealership around the pitch....or even better the half time/full time scores alongside letters of the alphabet.
I wonder if this sort of tosh is more bought into by those fans further from the club or area, so that they can buy into it and be part of the "brand".
Money money money

I agree with the two points in your first paragraph which I’d say sort of support the point I was advancing; imo, with Liverpool, this means more cringeworthyness.

And I also agree with the thrust of the issues you have with much of the monetisation of the sport, a direction of travel in the sport that, it should be said, was driven as much as any club, by Liverpool.

I especially agree with your last point - unlike others on here I don’t have a rabid dislike of scousers; I think there are loads of sound, genuine people in the city - I have several scouse mates who have held season tickets at Anfield for many years who I was genuinely pleased for when you won the league, but that feeling of goodwill was overshadowed, overwhelmed in fact, by the type of supporter you seem to attract from outside the area, especially those that never or seldom go to games. Without a doubt the most graceless, moronic, non-self-aware, hypocritical, spiteful and boastful manifestation of the football supporter in these islands, who regretfully appear to feed off each other.

Not characteristics, I should add, that you appear to share.

Must admit, the Spurs ones always make me laugh, it's like they've watched old re-runs of 'Only fools and horses' and come up with that claptrap.

Have they taken their flags down from their windows and doors yet. Will they move on?
We've had the FA cup, we're into the Champions League knockout tournament now. They are so much last season except to themselves. Cunts.

I think everybody else has moved on and the rest of the country forgot anything happened. Did they win sunmat....last season it? Or season before? or was it in the 1980s? I cant quite remember.

when city were going for the league in 2012 the statement was “together” so you can see a difference in culture between the 2 clubs.

I have a savings account I've renamed 'The Coutinho Money' in the hope it last forever.

The government furlough scheme and the bounce back loans have all been funded in full by a slice of the Coutinho money.
