Liverpool Thread - 2022/23

Geez that should send shivers down the spine of anyone, most of all Tranny, knowing people are so obsessed with him.

No word of a lie. It's "GOAT" this, "GOAT that. Continually comparing him (favourably, of course) to Messi. Or, as they like to call him," Pessi ". Can't fathom out why starting a player's surname on twitter with a P is seen as insulting, but hey ho.

I know you'll say; "well, he would say that, wouldn't he?", but anyway. I can’t fathom why L***s are seen as a "big" club. They've won 3 league titles*, 1 FA Cup, 1 League Cup and 2 Inter City Fairs Cups. They seem to pretty consistently average crowds in the mid 30ks down the years. Not bad, but it is a one club town. Not having a pop at you, by the way. They're seen as big by the footballing world. I'm just puzzled as to how they've attained that status

*3 league titles isn't shabby, by the way. Better than the majority of clubs in the top division. But if you look at what is referred to now as the "top 6" clubs, only Spurs (2) have less top flight titles.





But then; I would say that, wouldn't I?

Weirdly, Leeds have quite a few followers here in the US. And they had many before Marsch became manager. Now since then of course, they have more. Of course they also have or had USMNT players like Aronson and Tyler Adams. They tend to get their games broadcast on free TV (well USA channel which is an NBC channel) almost as much as City do.

I like the partnership with a Sheik and that woman from that 80’s pop group …… Salt n Sheik

Anybody mentioned Sheik an Vac? One for the foc’s there.

The Kinahan Cartel ??

Now that may prove interesting!

I was more meaning the number of the post within the thread.

Bayern also sponsor themselves

We have our own version now, Haaland. If/when Haaland ever leaves he'll take a sizeable amount of followers/'fans' with him to the next club, because it's about following 'him', not the club he plays for, to those people.

Odd, but I suppose a natural progression in the weird world of celebrity worship - It used to be films ('Who's in it?', rather than 'Is it any good?'), and has now moved onto football, some people support the 'talent' not the 'product'.

A bit like motorsport.
'Yogi bear'....

Note: Inter City Fairs Cup was not a real competition, with participants being “invited”and restrictions on eligibility.

I only laugh at the self entitled red shirted mardarses pal :-)

All self inflicted btw.

If I ever see any of the Glazers clan.I'd gladly treat
them to a sherbet or three :-)

I'd buy them a pint.

This ‘sale’ is laughable.
Klopp begging, scousers begging and all while the media peddle this plucky underdog story.
Poor Liverpool cannot compete with clubs run by countries.
Wish we were, can you imagine how much we could actually spend.

Rags, all of them.
