We've not lost the title. I don't get why our own supporters are starting thinking that. One thing is that it is completely opposite if you are a Liverpool supporter
 
I get people saying that if we diminish and disrespect what the dippers have achieved, we also diminish our own achievements. There's no doubt that the challenge of livarpoo has forced us to raise our own game and not become complacent.

For their part, the dips are an extremely effective team, but comparing their football to ours is comparing McDonald's to a Michelin starred restaurant. Their midfield in particular exerts precious little control in their games, but their forwards do tend to bury their chances. Paradoxically this makes their games more exciting as there are more mistakes and potentially more excitement than our metronomic strangling of games.

However I find it extremely distasteful the way they physically target players, systematically foul with impunity and generally show contempt for their opponents, Robertson finding it hilarious to push opponents into the hoardings, fake hardman that he is.

Then there's the decisions they get on a regular basis. We may all have confirmation bias, but fans of literally every other team notice it too.

Their fans ain't great and seem to have a larger proportion of maladjusted thugs than even the other red arse cheeks. These bestest fans have a great many theories why we're successful, all based on cheating, doping - financial or chemical, paying off CAS, pigmol, uefa and the rest. Perhaps having had experience of some of these behaviours, they just assume we must do the same.

Klopp isn't a particularly likeable individual but he's a decent manager and likely to be our main rival whilst here. 3 CL finals is nothing to sniff at, but his domestic record is ordinary. Perhaps next season they'll decide to compete in all competitions, that will spur us on,I hope to finally secure the CL. But to them I'd say respect is a two way street, you have to earn it in order to receive it. A proportion of the graceless knuckle draggers who follow you do you no favours, even if the media are terrified of offending you by reporting on some of your unsavoury support.

Thought the scousers booing the national anthem and Prince William was a disgrace. Must be the Irish in the crowd supporting them, absolutely zero respect for anyone or anything

Think you should look into the reasons why we boo the National Anthem as you seem ill informed. I would say more but my posts do not seem to be getting past the mods even though they are all, as is this, extremely polite and respectful and just point out certain facts.
 
Too scared to name Liverpool fans in the headline. Hide it in the smaller print.

Not really arsed about the national anthem being booed, but why did you boo Abide With Me? Seemed a bit weird tbh.

As for why your earlier post wasn’t approved, you’re posting on a City forum minutes after winning the FA Cup. Read the room and just enjoy the moment. It’s never even occurred to me to go straight on a rival team’s forum whenever we win trophies.

You can’t get on rawk if you don’t support the dippers, in fact this is the most lenient forum I know and that’s not arse licking

You support a very good team but I can’t think of worse supporters in England. I can’t think of any set of supporters that put such a huge stain on the sport as you guys.
 
Liverpool are a great team but we're better

I've found that not watching their games / muting the ones I do watch has significantly lowered my dislike for them this year
 
As long as City get the league I’m not really arsed about them winning the rest. The idea of the quadruple would have been rubbing salt in, but City being the only thing between them and the clean sweep would be quite satisfying really. I know it’ll rile a lot of them.

Especially if they end up going on again about how they deserve a trophy for second place instead of celebrating what they actually won

I don’t know why some people are trying to convince themselves that they’re not that good. We’re an exceptional team, and there’s barely been a cigarette paper between us in recent years. They’re extremely dislikable, but to pretend they’re not an outstanding side just seems a bit churlish. Stopping them winning the league (and probably the quadruple) would make this one of our most rewarding titles to date.

Populist view. If it’s regurgitated enough it becomes the truth. I don’t rate the dips as highly as you and it’s not churlish. Liverpool are a good team with a much improved squad this season.As I said before, an exceptional team win more than 1 league title. Cups no matter the importance is down to a lot of luck.

Let’s not pretend Liverpool are something that they are not. The amount of fawning is not backed up with facts but with well rehearsed rhetoric.

This is just what other fans used to do to us. Win the domestic cups and they’re meaningless. Win the league and it’s irrelevant unless you win it back to back. It’s just a set of constantly moving, arbitrary goalposts. There’s no shame in acknowledging the achievements of your rivals, you know.
