A Kopite work colleague of mine who's watched them for ages and still goes all the home games has just been telling a few in the office that he is waiting on forgeries for the CL final. I'm quite suprised, he's a decent sensible lad normally. I just expressed my disapproval. He doesn't seem to understand the hypocricy. I didn't bother explaining it to him.

Houses boarded up for a few years in some streets. They stayed like that for years. I knew people who had lived there and they said it was awful. No team is bigger than a community. A lot of people had grown up in that area and raised their own kids there. Many of them were reds fans. I know someone who lived in Tancred Road, about 10 streets back from Lothair Road. He was brought up there and loved the area. He is a red, and supports his club, but he hates what they did to his area.

Yet they genuinely believe they are a 'family' club. You ask any of them what has the club ever done that would warrant that tag and they can never give an example. Even in the last few years we've had -

U23's sleeping rough for homeless
EITC continuing to be ace
Bill giving people a fiver to say thanks
Fans receiving letter thanking them for their support
Cheap season tickets for kids

That's a family club, yet they still try and claim something they'll never be.

As much as I hope they don’t win it, maybe if they do it will give the people upstairs at Everton a kick up the arse. They’ve floated along for far too long delivering nothing hiding behind ‘well Liverpool spend well more than us and don’t win anything either’.

We just got worse after 2005.

I lived in Anfield when that all started, it was the speed of the decline that was frightening. It wasn't gradual, from Blessington to Breck road it was a true unmanaged and deliberate decline.

I'm also from Anfield,although fortunately far enough from castle greyskull, the club didn't do anything for the local residents. Compared to the amount our club has done for poor communities in the vicinity of GP, it's ridiculous.
