Liverpool Thread - 2022/23

[Blue Floyd]

End of World Boosts Liverpool's Champions League Chances.

By eliminating their opponents, Armageddon will ensure the Mighty Reds bring Big Ears back to Merseyside.

We all should turn up with knockin sticks and chisels and send that place into the sea.

 

[Gingers Dad]

Were any members of the Beatles interested in Liverpool football club? At the height of their fame weren’t Liverpool in the 2nd tier of English football waiting for the Littlewoods money to happen? It would be like us trying to claim Ian Brown, when non of them have any affinity to that shit stain of a football club and couldn’t wait to get out of Liverpool.

The Beatles weren't even interested in Liverpool. They all left as soon as they could.

 

[Gingers Dad]

Fucking Dipper flag flying at Glastonbury. I take it they claim Diana Ross as one of their own as well.

Definitely when she dies

Just for the record where are Liam and Noel currently living...

 

[The perfect fumble]

No.

McCartney grew up in an Everton supporting family, but never showed any interest.

As for the others, their families had no interest in football whatsoever and John, George and Ringo carried on that tradition of complete indifference.

Hats off to you mate and anyone else who goes above board to watch the blues.....brilliant!!

Anyone who goes above and beyond to those levels deserves credit.. well done hope it continues,

No.

I have found that when you make it big in another sport or industry it’s always better to leave your footie alligencies out of it... that way you unite the town and city you come from or represent.. always thought it was stupid for boxers like David Price to do his ring walk to “ You’ll Never Walk Alone “ or Tony Bellew coming out to “ Z Cars “ as straight away you have split your fanbase in half.. the amount of reds fans who used to love seeing Bellew lose was amazing.. you get away with being vocal with your football team coming from Leeds or Newcastle as that Josh Warrington from Leeds proves.. he even gets players from Leeds to carry his belt into the ring and the whole City is behind him.. point I am making is John.. Paul.. George and Ringo probably were clever enough to not publicaly show who they supported

 

[blue by birth]

That's me and me mate :) )) :D

Isn't that Rossey in the blue trainer??

 

[Tolmie scores]

Very true, your fan base is loaded with them same as the Rags and I read your earlier post about what clubs want from match going fans(customers as they like to call us now) and its sad, but its the way the modern game has gone

I hope City doesn't go the same way, but I won't hold my breath on that, I hope if it does it takes years and years and years

I agree this bollox about 'global fan base' who reaaly wants that..someone from Miami or wherever 'supporting' us because we win FFS. There are fan bases in the prem lording this sort of shite. I prefer i proper fan base that get to games more often then not. Would help if tgere was a min number of Sat 3.00 pm games a season nut that ship has long gone

 

[Tolmie scores]

Ah, the Second placed Salbutomolites, The Anfield Asthmatics, Bobby Charlton's Business Partners.

Not a cycling off season for them so expect they'll be up there. But losing Mane and bringing in Nunez is a risk (as is Haaland to be fair, albeit arguably less so). Have a sneaky feeling they may struggle and end up just about fourth.

Hmmm Klopp is too good to let it all go tbf

Unfortunately City’s winning path in ten to fifteen years time will mirror exactly the same sort of Gloryhunting support you despise so much about United’s and Liverpool’ nothing can prevent that if a club becomes a global success which City are far along the road of becoming now.
I think the other thing about this global Club is at one time Clubs were owned by your local businessman or maybe a very rich man who happend to support your Club.. this is still the case in the lower leagues.. however once SKY was introduced it attracted blue chip mega global conglomerates who seen how much money was involved in the English game and wanted a piece of the pie.. that’s why you have owners like FSG.. Big Stan Kronke at Arsenal and the Glaziers.. these people don’t even understand football never mind like or love the clubs they own.. what happens then is decisions to the football club are made in a business way rather than a footballing way and that’s where we are now where they would rather have tourist day tripper fans in the stadium spending money rather than a local from Walton or Ancotes.. a player will be bought from Korea or Japan not because he’s good but because they will market him in those countries.. fans still think they are supporting a football club when really they are just supporting a business or franchise.. we are no longer fans or supports just customers.. where I am in Liverpool if I gave up my season ticket in protest I would be replaced by the few hundred thousand from all over the world from the global brand who wanted one so you could never win.

It happened at Dortmund. He lost his best players and the recruiting was poor or didn’t work out.

Ain't no turnstile high enough is a classic song to be fair.

Bravo, sir (or brava, madam)!!

Honourable mention for 'Get in the Middle of a Claim Reaction' too.

 

[yeah whatever !!]

Ain't no turnstile high enough is a classic song to be fair.

Awesome!! so deserves a song.

Aint no turnstile high enough
Aint no pepperspray strong enough
Aint no candle flame bright enough
To keep you from jibbing in free.

 

[Crooked_rain]

What do you expect glastonburys full of cunts

Indeed, I went once a while back

Funnily enough, there was a gang of scousers going around robbing from peoples tents. No joke.

 

[yeah whatever !!]

Fucking Dipper flag flying at Glastonbury. I take it they claim Diana Ross as one of their own as well.

Not after she saw KKK on it.

 

[yeah whatever !!]

No.

McCartney grew up in an Everton supporting family, but never showed any interest.

As for the others, their families had no interest in football whatsoever and John, George and Ringo carried on that tradition of complete indifference.

Their famous club 'The Cavern' was named cos it was full of knuckledragging cavemen.

lfc really should pay their players more. Cheapskates or what. No wonder their fans keep banging on about our wages, but even Villa and Arsenal and leicester are paying more than lfc do for some of their "big stars". Their fans need to look at their owners.

But wtf Bernardo should be on more.

I don't think that's a particularly accurate list, wasn't Liverpool's wage bill the highest in the country the year they were given the league? I'm pretty certain it was shown to be when their accounts were released for that period.
Either their players are all on pretty much the same amount no matter who they are or these wages listed show them with their usual bonuses (i.e. very little in the way of trophy add ons).

They did write one song for the Egyptian King....

The best things in life are free
But you can keep them for the birds and bees
Now give me money, (That's what I want)
That's what I want
(That's what I want)
That's what I want, (That's what I want), yeah
(That's what I want)

Bang on Tom. Same as you. I drink in town before the match. I get to the Etihad and go in. No shop, burger or programme. I watch the match, clap the team off and go back to the pub.
There is a reason I am offered 10% off everything, the club want to know how much I spend at the shop and at the bar. I assume there is a bad mark against my name !
The main reason the clubs like 12,30 and 4,30 kick off times is it coincides with dinner and tea so fans buy the minted lamb burger because they are hungry.
I took my 2 lads to the game from the age of 10, I do not think I could afford to do it now.
We are becoming what we despised about the rags.

I’ve never been asked to show my proof of being a season ticket holder to get the 10% discount. If you think they like non 3pm kick off’s just to sell food you really need to give your head a wobble

Peter Robinson on Heysel​

“I was in the stand that night, not the official area. At 9pm I made my way to the area where the disaster occurred.

“I tried to speak to a group of Liverpool fans. Some explained the problems – the total lack of control...people had tickets which hadn’t been torn in half.

“Then a group of men descended on me and said their tickets were from the black market. But they wouldn’t show me them.

“They had strong southern accents and they suddenly turned aggressive and started chanting ‘Shankly’.

“That was strange as Bill Shankly hadn’t been our manager for 12 years.

“It was well documented at that time that members of the National Front went to matches. And it was very odd to me this group should be here.

“They were quite vicious and we had to move on. It was not a good experience.”


“An independent inquiry in Belgium found that Liverpool was in no way to blame. The main blame lay with the Belgian FA and security.

I can only say, thank God Hitler wasn't from Liverpool and a regular on the Kop.

If he had been, 'independent enquiries' would be telling us the Poles were responsible for WW2, and that the Holocaust was caused by mysterious men from southern England; while Adolf deserved compo for the cruel rejection of his skill as an artist, given that he was better than Rembrant.
