ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC"

[Goat]

If they get something from their next 2 games they have certainly gotta be in the mix.

Same as us really.

I care about how liverpool do and I'm not even remotely ashamed of it.

They're our biggest rivals and I know a lot of liverpool fans from my family and from when I lived in merseyside. When they do well it matters to me because they get smug and give me stick and when they do badly I get to enjoy their pain.

Rivalry and tribal warfare is a huge part of the narrative of football and why it's so gripping. Hating your rivals and cheering when they lose, groaning when they win is a huge part of being a football fan and I don't get why people are so reluctant to admit to it.

Derby games matter to me in a way other league games don't and where liverpool finish in the table and what trophies they win matters to me only second to what everton do and I think that's entirely healthy.

I agree with you, mate...have posted very similar views to your one here a few times.

Still get sucked in now and then, tho'...some blues are just obsessed with the red side (while professing they're not...just like how our song wastes two lines on them while claiming "we don't care").


Works both ways, to be fair...the red team have a forum which is oft-quoted here, and their Everton thread is just as big. Many families have blues and reds (mine does, and we're proper wools).

My family too kid, but only inlaws.

While you'll wanking over gnasher, what do you make of Sterling? he seems to have upped his game in the last three games

hes awful lad

 

[Goat]

Serious question here, has Brenda signed a good player since hes been at that Club?

Agree with all that too...but the point some of us are making is that there is a seemingly daily obsession with them. One established GOT member even knows minutia about their history and team tactics and shares this knowledge in this very thread, way outside of any derby game.

That just goes too far, imo.

Yes mate it matters , but not that much, and for me certainly not over 1000 post matters.

Sturridge & Countinho

 

[El Scouse]

To be fair the last 10 or so pages has been a rather round-a-bout discussion on who currently is the best player in the world.

 

[Goat]

Sturridge & Countinho

I said good players Bry.

 

[TheFinnFan]

Simple question lads

How can Suarez be their captain?

Not this again.

 

[teppic]

Their fall in the New Year will be amusing.

 

[Huyton Layne]

Simple question lads

How can Suarez be their captain?

A complete lack of ethics and shame?
