Admin Maesknoll Red Posted December 29, 2018 Admin Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 Different gravy! Now, I must profess to having held a dislike for Liverpool for many years, when I was at school they were in their pomp and they had plenty of ‘plastics’ back then who only ever saw them on MOTD. We had those hessian type rucksacks that the flap was painted and many of the Bristolian kids who had never been north of the M4 had Liverpool adorning their bags, when some of us remained resolutely City. I guess it is similar to those who have grown a dislike of Man U over the period Fergie led them to dominate, but even then, it was Liverpool that were my ‘other’ team to enjoy seeing their failure to regain their glory days. Not sure I can easily renounce those years of enjoying them suffer, but Jurgen Klopp, what a character, football needs characters BTW, what a Manager, he has them playing football that is a delight to watch, not sure how I will feel if they carry this through to win the league, gutted on one hand, but pleased for Klopp on the other, as he comes across well and has put together a great team.

Believe me a lot of us hated manu even before Liverpool became dominant. You have to say Liverpool look unstoppable at this moment. Avoid defeat at manc and that's it all over isn't it?

I can recall there was quite a lot of warmth to Man U, the likes of Best, Stiles, Stepney and Law appealed to many fans who watched football, I really only noticed the fact that Liverpool attracted ‘fans’ from around the country, rather than people just appreciating good players, as Man U had at the time.

That could apply to any side that has dominated, all had great players. No different to today really even going back to school days (late 60s early 70s) every other kid was bloody manu. They had supporters branches in Cornwall, Newton Abbot and North Devon to name a few. So not so much a hatred for the club but the plastics that were around even back then!!!!!

Fordy62 Posted December 29, 2018 Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 Undoubtedly a class above Arsenal. But helps that the ref is wearing a Liverpool shirt. How in any way on earth is that a penalty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Maesknoll Red Posted December 29, 2018 Author Admin Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 I thought they were penalties, but they didn’t change the game or rob Arsenal, Liverpool are a joy to watch, how I wish I could get enjoyment like that from my team, a team I want to see win and be entertained by, rather than one that I have held in disdain for the best part of 50 years......

That’s expressed it better than I did, I have a couple of Scouse mates, Liverpool fans and I have absolutely no issue with them supporting their team, you have highlighted perfectly what has got my goat over the years, the armchair fans, verging on fanatical and have absolutely no connection with Liverpool.

joe jordans teeth Posted December 29, 2018 Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 Not a fan of Liverpool and their supporters but klopp has got them playing fast attacking football like he did at Dortmund and after watching our drab performance again it was a relief to see tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lack of Action Man Posted December 29, 2018 Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 Must say Liverpool well and truly thrashed Arsenal. Not even any doubt about it, the better team won and were the better team by quite some distance. What a season it's shaping up to be! Personally can't stand Guardiola's cockiness, and equally can't stand De Bruyne for the same reason at times, so glad to see him having to work for it this season.

One of our clients up in Liverpool in work who I’ve known for 10 years said to me it’s all about the league for him - simply because they’ve never won it since it became the Premier League. Not sure if they blow it from here if it’ll be worse than that season under Rodgers. They certainly have a far better team than them - scary when you think the likes of Firminio are only 22.
