Liverpool thread 2019/20

[kaz7]

The thread that involved throwing tennis balls on the pitch in protest was cringey, booing the anthem is cringey. Throwing our toys out the pram when losing a derby and behaving like animals was cringey. Other fans being cringey doesn’t change that we are the same now. You can have an opinion on levels of cringe but it doesn’t change where we are at. We’ve lost a lot of what we had about us before. Be that just modern football or not adapting to new found success.

Nice to see you tom

Have they won the Div 2 play-offs?

I think not ;-)

*(I haven't researched that do apologies if incorrect but you get my point)

Oh by fuck I do :-)

That Saudi Arabian team who somehow played in that tournament, must be hard to beat. FFS, were these supposedly the best teams in world football?.

Yes, Monterrey are 8th in the world class Mexican league, Flamengo are top in the world class Brasilian league, Al Sadd SC are 5th in the world class Qatar Stars League, Al Hilal are 5th in the world class Saudi Pro League, Espérance Sportive de Tunis are 7th in the Tunisian Ligue Professionalle 1 and Hienghène Sport are first in the world class New Caledonia Super League.

Let me repeat that list of teams again ...

Monterrey
Flamengo
Al Sadd SC
Al Hilal
Espérance Sportive de Tunis
Hienghène Sport

Now, prior to me typing that, aside from Flamengo, has anyone even heard of the other teams?

Also, how can you be crowned champions of the world having played in a competition that didn't include teams from the US, Japan, China, India, Canada, Australia etc.

I would be utterly and cringe-worthily embarrassed if our club boasted about being world champions having basically beaten Monterrey and Flamengo.

What an utterly pathetic joke of a club.

I’ve been called Tom twice now but I am unsure as to why. Is this like a Clarkie thing? I take it you’re in the being a cringey fan camp Karen? I’d rather be in the one that laughs at ourselves in adversity. Takes a derby defeat on the chin without resorting to thuggery. What I was originally trying to get at is how anything Liverpool related, the jokes in their hundreds come in about them starting petitions etc. Everything I see from us nowadays is how we can protest against something else, quite ironic. It’s going off topic for the Liverpool thread anyway. Ultimately if we count the community shield as a trophy, we sadly have to do the same for the club World Cup. They’re still unbearable bastards though. ;)

No, because then you’d have to have a team from every country in the world.

well why call it the world club football cup ??

I don't count the comm shield but it is a trophy between two decent domestic sides,the club world cup is a bit of tat no more no less

Probably for the same reason they call it the Champions League

Not you personally, city in general. Fourmidables. I don’t see what they’ve just won as anything amazing, especially as you say taking into account the opposition also. I just fear we are moulding into everything we hate about them and also united. I’m not downplaying their achievements, mainly because I hope it’s us participating in that tournament next year :)

Because the winners of each continent’s club competition are in it.

The Champions of South America are quite a decent team. They’re a Brazilian team who beat the Argentinian champions in the final to qualify for the World Club Championship.

Just because you and others on this thread don’t look beyond the Premier League, it doesn’t make a competition irrelevant.
