To be fair, going to Anfield is like going to Disneyland for a day out. It seems like more of a plastic family fun day out than any other ground in the country whenever I’ve been over the last couple of decades. Even in Liverpool city centre pre- or post-game, there’s just loads of Irish just having a nice time.
Their away ends at the Etihad always seem like softies. Even when we go to Wembley against them, I’ve never once encountered any trouble or groups of “lads” within Liverpool’s fans (there was a bit of mither with one coach at a services on one trip, but that wasn’t anything compared to the trips down there against United or even Wigan). Of all the sets of fans we’ve encountered at Wembley, they’re down the bottom for it feeling edgy or like something will happen.
I genuinely think he’s right, the Etihad and our fanbase is miles more moody than Anfield or their fanbase. Heard it said, seen it written online (Villa fans online saying it was frightening in that last game of the season at the Etihad for their fans) many times by many different fanbases that City and United’s fanbases are a bunch of nutters.
