They were fuck all until the mid-60's. We won the FA Cup 60 years before they did and a European trophy 2 years before them. To put it the other way round, how long is it before you're not a "big club" anymore? A season in the Championship would bring the deluded idiots down to earth with a big bump.
This bit also made me laugh:
Liverpool are struggling to adapt to Rodgers’s style of play.
Liverpool are struggling to play football full stop. I'll be seriously annoyed if we don't beat that shower of shite on Sunday.
I remember your blog, PB after visiting Anfield last season and you were quite complimentary towards them then. What's changed?
I don't have a blog (unless you mean one I wrote on here) and I don't remember writing anything like that.
I did used to admire Liverpool and do feel sorry for any club who have been shafted by their owners like they were. They were a great club and awesome to watch, particularly in the mid-late 1970's.
But I found that piece by the Liverpool fan quite annoying & patronising. "You're not a big club like we are" This concept of a "big club" is nonsense anyway but the fact is that we'll be playing in the CL every season and they won't. We could well win the league again this season and they certainly won't.
It reminded me of my grandma's cousin by marriage, who was an East End girl from a poor family who married very well (to the man who invented the electronic scoreboard). She went everywhere first class on the company but when he died, all that stopped. So when she came on the train to Manchester she travelled second class but walked up to first class to get off when the train came in. And that's the attitude of Liverpool fans. They're travelling in second class but want everyone to think they're really in first.
I was looking at a thread on RAWK about what other fans think of them. They all realised other fans laughed at them but couldn't understand why. Well they could actually. It was because fans of other clubs were ignorant and knew nothing about football really (whereas tyhey of course did).
We couldn't see what a truly great manager Benitez was and just claimed he pissed away loads of money on poor players and, apart from a fluke in Istanbul, won nothing. Whereas they knew what a legend he was.
And none of us really understood what happened in the Suarez affair and why Dalglish was right to protect him so vehemently because we all just believed the media sensationalisation of it but they all know for an absolute fact that he quite clearly never made a racist comment to Evra and we're all too stupid to see it.
And none of us understand what great footballers Downing and Carroll are and once they've got an understanding going then Downing will be popping over pinpoint crosses that Carroll will bang in. And we laugh at the £35m paid but if Steven Fletcher is worth £12m then £35m's a bargain for Carroll.
Anyone who dares speak the truth on there - that they're an upper mid-table club for who a good season is a Europa League place, who have clueless owners and have bought a pile of crap for far more than they should have - is banned.
