The majority of Liverpool fans I encounter online aren't even British, let alone Scouse. Fucking plastic glory hunters who genuinely believe Everton have never won any trophies, and I'd be amazed if any of them even know who Bob Paisley is. Or Steve Heighway (my mum's favourite).

Liverpool are corporate whores. They're not a workers' collective. Not that Everton are either but at least we acknowledge that.

Media and time have changed the whole way fooball is run, played and supported. Maybe its red tinted specs but I dont recall the angst and hostility between clubs when I first started following football ...certainly makes me feel old. I recall going to visit my old "aunts" down the bottom of "The Port", one red, one blue (who incidentally "courted" Joe Mercer briefly) Always banter but never any grief.
Oh for happier times!
Or perhaps more innocent times as I "hope" to be happier by the end of May

It's today's society, led by social media LGWIO, it's full of hate.

Pick a subject, Brexit, Tories, Left, Right, Trump, Business, Banks, Dippers, they are all full of hate for many people.

There's nothing wrong with discussion, disagreement and dislike, but it's quite sad that so many people appear totally consumed by hate.

Is it caused by frustration, a lack of self worth, keyboard warriors protected by anonymity, jealousy, envy.........there must be reasons for this increase in hate?

Nobody is allowed an opposing view otherwise they're hated. The media stokes up the fires of hate and drip feeds it to the masses 24/7. Talkshite is the News of the World of radio. Loudmouth idiots spouting controversial views to get morons to phone in and either agree or rant against them. Simon Jordon being one of the worst, because he can put a sentence together people think he's knowledgeable, whereas he's just a media whore. They all are, sold their souls for money.

As for our fans it is laughable the shite that such halfwits throw at us. When we were in the third tier in 1998/99 we retained a hardcore support of between 28-35,000. That was in spite of having no success for 23 years at that point and with a highly successful local rival who as we won promotion by the skin of our teeth were winning a treble. We lost a couple of generation of young fans during our dark years and we are only just regaining them now. I remember every single football fan admired us back then for sticking with our club through thin and thin while our rivals won everything. Now idiotic football fans from outer Mongolia, who've never stepped foot in the football stadium of the club they're supposed to support giving us stick online is one thing. For paid so called journalist to do the same thing is beyond contempt. For 28-30,000 fans to travel 200 miles at great expense and inconvenience is to be praised not sneered at. Fuck them all
 
Sickens me to the core the expediency shown by the UK sports media to this lot. It emboldens their feral fan base to believe they can act with total impunity. Spineless click baiters without the moral fibre to stand up and call them out. They would be welcomed with open arms into Putin's propaganda machine.
The Ronaldo tweets will of course be blamed on Chelsea fans..
Grrrrr.....

From my experience you can’t “discuss” anything with a dipper.. the moment you say something that they disagree with they get nasty of offended..

Never has a phrase been more apt for them; “Offended by everything, embarrassed by nothing”

It’s all down to social media, phone in radio shows etc

in the 80’s when Liverpool were easily the best team in Europe I respected them and wanted them to win when watching them on tv in European cup finals (heysel changed that)

but I never ever had to put up with the entitlement, delusion and superiority complex you suffer constantly these days due to the above as you never ever heard off them

I’m sure their fanbase was exactly the same and if I’d have known I’d have wanted them to lose every game badly as I do now

Klopp winning the mental battle, Pep is shook

They have steamroller us today

Their recruitment has just been better than us

Spending £100mil on Jack when Liverpool got Diaz and Jota for about £80mil is what could be the difference this year

I'll admit it, it makes me sick how kuch better their attacking players are than ours

Just wait. We’ll have a much better front three next year.

People have changed, that's the problem.

Even on here a difference of opinion is not allowed, your a cnut or the like.

Debate and opinions are what can make life fun and interesting, sadly we now live in a world where they are frowned upon.

I dont do Twitter but wandered on there recently (I think it was a link from here) & there are some seriously weird people on there talking about football, I am happy to try & have a sensible conversation about football with anybody but the raging hate towards city from some Liverpool fans is amazing, and to think thats while they are doing well, god knows what they would be like if they were losing?

I think Declan Rice is there for the taking for somebody this summer and I don't think Liverpool have many weakness elsewhere. Perfect Henderson replacement in that he is actually a good footballer

Rice wedded to London?

I did get bullied by Liverpool fans at school, but at matches, I don't remember it being as toxic as it is now. Social media has a lot to answer for.

Liverpool fans are the only fans who've really enjoyed rubbing my nose in the dirt. I've had a lot of abuse off them online and it's at the point where if someone says they're a Liverpool fan, I'm on my guard. It really is that bad.
 
Their fans are horrible cunts the lot of them. Had the joys of two of them on the tube after the match singing etc, fine you won enjoy it… but no they had to then start the anti city shit coming down the train to try and get a reaction. Young girl they called Mario because of the colour of her skin… class as ever. Fucking hate the cunts.

But I thought mo salah and sir Jordan have singe handedly defeated racism on merseyside surely not!?
 
my view is that the toxicity is 99% driven by fans on social media who never attend matches. This is then driven up by the media shills where is seems primary measure of success is engagement and hits. it becomes a never ending circle of hatred that now appears to permeate to match going fans.
