Let’s be honest here scousers are and will always be vile pathetic victims. They were never like this when they were any good though they were happy to fly the British flag.
As well as the Munich 58 flags they so loved (which would now be banned under their no tragedy chanting rules)
They actually like playing the victim as it suits them and they actual play up to it
Heysel, Suarez racist t shirts, bricking our coach……
Getting everyone banned from Europe for 5 years
they booed the national anthem so that everyone else would react and they could be the victim again

I hate them more than the Rags. I know it's not supposed to be that way. But I can't help how I feel.

Good demonstration of how standards have slipped over the years. How many people do you see these days going to the match wearing a suit and tie. Having said that, someone should have told Bill Murray to fasten his top button and pull up his tie.

They're just wonderful images that last a lifetime. The iconic imagery of 1966 has and will stand the test of time. People dressed and behaving respectably, virtually no advertising, no stupid haircuts or tattoos and all of the attention drawn to the playing area. I reckon I could look at a photo from any World Cup that took place between 1966 and 1998 and put it in its time and place. Nowadays, everything is so saturated that it's stopped being iconic. England winning the World Cup in 1966 will never be surpassed if they won it again. The 1966 triumph almost came to define an era in British life. We can all picture Bobby Moore being raised by his teammates. Were it to happen now, it would simply be a team winning a football tournament.

You are far from alone.

Cup final day may change a few opinions.

"God Save the King" was first sung in 1745 when the existence of the British state was threatened by the last in a series of Jacbite uprisings. Though most frequently identified with the Highland clans there were Jacobites from all parts of the UK. "God Save the King" was sung as a patriotic song by those who wished to preserve the statusquo rather than see the overthrow of the state. It became the National Anthem later. Thus it was written at a time of national division. Today it is sung as a symbol of national unity, but it has this in common with other countries such as France and the USA, both of which were written at times of violent and bloody disunity. In common with the anthems of both these countries ours is a symbol now of the pride we feel at the emergence from such violence of societies which are based on values such as the rule of law, social justice, democracy and individual liberty. People can sneer but these three countries are the home of these values, which have spread to many others and though we fall short at times in our observance we are nearer in the west to anywhere else. So let's stop defending "republicans" who won't sing a national anthem because they don't like kings. I didn't think anything of Trump as head of state but I thought a lot of those Americans who resisted his attempts to change the USA forever. It still is one of the "lands of the free". I don't like much about Prince Andrew, or many of our elected representatives but the values this country represents are still worth celebrating.

Spot on

If you look at the City thread on their forum - they try to dess it up in bollocks about human rights and sportswashing (these are the same cunts that had banners in the kop begging Dubai to buy them) - but the posts are full of moaning about them being the victims - losing out because of City

Just fucking hypocritical lowlifes

They’ll stop caring about human rights when Arabs buy them. Cynical? Me?

just to say...

we all know these bin-dipping cunts are wankers,
but lumping all scousers together as cunts/wankers isn't right.

If I went to a match wearing a dress, full make-up, hair done up, people would think I was weird and stare or laugh at me. Maybe I should try it, I’ve got blue eyeshadow.

My stepdad recalls his dad telling a man off for swearing at Chelsea - he’s 67 so it would have been in the 60s. You do that now, you’d get laughed at or, at worst, battered. What happened? The decline of the country under Thatcher or something?
