ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC" part 2

The antidote is indifference. Let them hoot and holler, it don't matter. That will wind them up more. They crave attention above all else.

Perfectly put Davey.
In the words of Monty Python (kind of!), they should be ignored to death, which I realise is difficult when they're hurling flares and bottles at your team coach.

Haha, even Monty Python couldn't envisage scenes so ludicrous!

Yep same here, the fans just make it unbearable the flag waving scarf swirling poet prancing knobheads do my absolute head in.

It won't just be the trophy parade where 1 million people invade the city (900k of them have no affinity to the club whatsoever) but it will go on for months and months and months and months and on TV and documentaries and my missus will remind me day after day hour after hour after hour.

Anyone who lives out of the city it will be bad, anyone who lives in the city it is plain and simple unbearable.

Thing is they go on and on anyway, even with wining nothing they are unbearable, so this won't make too much diff, that's what I'm telling myself.
What will suck is social media, Twitter will be overrun with it, I'll have to have a major cull, same with facebook

I think they'll be even more unbearable mate even though you wouldn't think that's possible. They've always been a gang of muppets who in the main you can't have a footy conversation with but it will be even worse, they will go into overdrive. For then it's 30 years of pent up "it's our year" and getting buzzed off season after season

If Spurs and City can stay with them and then it comes to the Goodison Derby and we can play a part in their demise well that would just be beautiful

Miles ahead? They where technically 1 point ahead as City had a games in hand. Their defence cost them that year. Conceded 50 goals that season. Halfway thorugh this season and they have only conceded 7.

After 34 games RS had 77 points and City had 74. They lost the League through poor management when they tried to beat Chelsea instead of being solid and accepting a draw.

 

[PITA]

I reckon the only reason he won't have faced action is because them lot scored more goals to have made it matter.

If it was a 2-1 then maybe they would have acted. But saying that , it's the kopites after all.

I’d have some sympathy with what you’re saying if the dive had been at 3-0.

 

[PITA]

Both niasse and Salah were dives.

But one still had control of the ball when he dived and one didn't.

That's why Salah got away with it.

A big fat LOL at you and your pathetic excuse.

Went through the 70s horror with us not winning a trophy for 14 years and the gobshites winning everything in sight, so if they do win the prem, its all a bit "so what?" to me.....it will be a one off, and a Ferguson type dynasty will not happen imo. Have loads of sympathy though with those who have never seen us win anything for 23 years and have been consoled by the fact that they have not reached the heights of the 70s and 80s. We need to win a trophy sooner rather than later, a cup (which we have more chance of) to start raising our own profile as we did in the 80s, which cheesed them off more than they were prepared to admit. Klopp has, in part adapted his team's style and addressed the defensive deficiencies.....but there is still half a season to go, and folks who are crowning them champions now are a little over reacting. 20 games to go, not 3 or 4...a lot can happen until May.

Sums up my take on the situation.

 

[PITA]

Make no mistake, this will be a terrible experience for Evertonians if/when they win the PL. They are the Establishment club, and it would be celebrated every bit as much as if England had won the World Cup. The accolades and tv programmes and documentaries wont stop coming for years. They will be presented as "the club that the whole country wanted to see crowned champions". Man Utd have always had the glamour, like some Hollywood star. The showbiz club. Liverpool, though, are the club that are presented as 'traditional' - part of the fabric of everyday English life, like the Queen, the BBC, the Grand National, Marks & Spencer, red telephone boxes, the bulldog.

It is going to come at us, wave after wave of sycophantic adulation. The longer they went without winning it, the greater the reaction was always going to be to their eventual landing of it. And after 30 years of failure, you can be sure we'll never hear the end of it. Not just through the summer, but over the next decade. Those playing it down on here are kidding themselves. The people who say 'it;'s best to get it over with' or 'I wont give a toss, I'm just concentrating on Everton'. That's a fairy story you're telling yourself, I'm afraid.

That last part of your post is your opinion. As you’ve said previously you hate the RS more than you love Everton. Not everyone sees the world in the same way as you.

How can any Evertonian not think like that?

Heck, mac......if the whole civilsed football worrd is waiting on us riding to the rescue then, to quote Ned Stark, winter is coming.

And it is going to be a long, cold one

Absolutely my take on it too. Having brazened it out with them through the 70s and 80s, then their Istanbul Ring of Fire noisathon, I can still bear it. Youre right too that they were more gutted by our success than they cracked on. That accelerated the demise of the "matey" derby because we were now peers and even superior as opposed to plucky also-rans. Pride comes before a fall they say... so I hope that Premier Champions T- shirt fella has got his stall ready again even knowing they suffer from premature congratulation.

Its more fun watching them spectacularly fail then it is watching us plod along

Lads, I think this will be way worse than the 70s and early 80s.

Back then the gulf was only on the pitch......off the field they were no richer than us.

We always knew EFC was a sleeping giant which would one day stir.

We should have been champions in 1975 and gave it a good go under Gordon in 77/78 and 78/79.

The gap always looked easily bridgeable.....which Howard eventually proved.

But nowadays they are dwarfing us commercially in a way that never seemed possible even twenty years ago.

Plus you never had wall to wall football in the mainstream media back then.

If they win this title then be prepared or levels of unescapeable unbearability never before dreamed off

The only consolidation is that we are not alone in our dread of the oncoming horror.

Seems most other fans are too.
