Liverpool thread 2020/21

Whenever I see stuff like that, and not just Liverpool, I can't help but be thankful I grew up in simpler times. Why anyone would actually find that shite entertaining let alone subscribe and engage with the prick is well beyond my comprehension. Each to their own I guess!

Same here. Can't even bring myself to watch it for alaugh

I've also seen Everton fans calling Richarlison out for diving. Me included. It's one thing that annoys me about him.

He was poor the other day. Deffo not fit

Yesterday PERFECTLY highlighted what an absolute shithouse of a team (and manager) they are. From Klipperty's pre-match bullshit excuses to that first tackle on Gundo and Salad's cowardly play-acting. Utter disgrace.

I think we'll see more of the toddler- like sportsmanship of klopp as the season goes on. He was OK when he first arrived because he revelled in the low expectations of being underdogs with his full team laps of honour after a draw ect. Salad is a quite wonderful player but teams tend to reflect their managers personality and the lad is a ****. Probably dives more in a game than kun has in a career.

Still raging about that time Aguero was booked for diving against Southampton when he was clearly scythed down.

The media narrative at the time was Aguero is a diver, which we all know is bollocks.

Sadly I think that has become all part of the game...much as I like you, hate it.
It is not confined to one team or nationality, it has almost become the norm.

About the first time I really recall the diving/histrionics (or should that be 'istryonics?) was with Klinsmann. We then went a few years before it was Drogba (see...I blame Chelsea again!) and since then it has slowly crept in to being something that according to some pundits "is all part of the game".

Perhaps the most regular user of that phrase is Cundy on Talksport who views it as something players should do.

Yes Salah went down far too easily, but then there was some contact. As said all sides do it to some extent. The Soucek/Mitrovic one was a prime example, Salah against West Ham and Wellbeck against us beign others where there may have been the faintest of contacts (if at all) and they have gone down.

So is that gamesmanship when they respond to the contact or simply cheating? Oh for simpler times!!!

Whilst there may be times when it is a close call, you then get the complete wankers like Neymar and Rivaldo where you just have to shake your head and laugh at them.

At some point it became an undeniable footballing fact that any trophy we win has an Asterix next to it and is a hollow win because "nobody cares" and our club "has no soul". In reality it's only a fact on RAWK and they care so less that there is currently 313 pages of them telling each other that "nobody cares" in classic posts such as this one:-

" No-one gives a fuck about them winning, and no-one will remember it even if they wanted to. No-one gave a shit about their treble"

So you are unable to remember us winning the treble but you do remember nobody gave a shit-ok?!

I to have been told over & over that no one cares. I got told today that they care that little about they would rather us win the title as they don’t want their “real” rivals.

I simply said why would I care who Liverpool fans want to win the league, how bazaar you’d imagine it’s important to us.
