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

[MikeH72]

Imagine thinking that Manuel Pellegrini has a clue how to stop them. 4-1 big red tomorrow.

What strikes me about the average RS fan these day's are that they are not really interested in football.

Unless it involves the cult, and in true Stalinist North Korean fashion, all external clubs and players don't exist.

This occasionally back fires on them in spectacular fashion, they sign a player ( of whom they have never mentioned before) and he becomes 'da best prospect in da world'.

A year later, the same 'best prospect' leaves on a free to a minor German team, and is never spoken of again.

He is erased from their collective consciousness and official club history.

As orthodoxy dictates, Cult's are always right and never make errors of judgment.

Try talking to any RS fan about Lionel Messi, and within 10 seconds, it's all about 'the superior' Mo Salah.

Had this conversation many many times with an RS mate of mine when he tells me their new signings are the best in their position in the world, only to have never seen them
Play before. He done it again this season with Keita. When I pointed out his previous with diuoff, Diaoa, cisse, sakho- he had a prepared explanation how he never bracketed them the same as he is now and why they ultimately failed.

He’s now proven too me he’s either a liar or part of a cult. I think we know what he is tho.

We need to donate our three points to City this week and take three off them. Now that will impact this title race as much as Pickford did with his calamity.

In reality it needs us and United to lose to City and both of us to take points from Liverpool. The ball is still firmly in their court though unless the wheels come off completely.

Watch T-Rex arms play an absolute blinder and keep a clean sheet for once on Weds.

Give them the points gift wrapped. If we win i'm gonna go live in a cave somewhere and become a local legend to the nearby townsfolk due to my wailings every night.

 

[Yarrgh]

I'd like to refute this stuff about the older generation not hating them.

My Dad was a lifelong blue until he died just over a year ago aged 87. He used to watch Tommy Lawton - his favourite player ever.

He said to me once when I was a kid 'Son, I wouldn't cheer for Liverpool if they had Jesus Christ managing them and the twelve apostles making up the team and the sub'. I quoted that word for word, on the altar at church, when I delivered his eulogy. With my EFC shirt on as he'd asked.

He loathed them. Proudly. All his life.

And so do I. Have never wanted them to win a game of football, ever. And never will.

 

[marmor]

This is true, gives some people the impression that scousers think they are better than the rest of the country. I couldn't give a toss either way but I've known people bring this up several times before over the years when they've been moaning about scousers.

We are better.

 

[goodisonopheliac]

We're going to get utterly creamed by City regardless, tbh. I mean, we got turned over by Wolves.

Kopites who sign up to a rival fans forum and pretend to support that team are even weirder IMO.

Proper obsessed little virgins.

Quite. And kopites who hang out on Everton pages on Facebook and message you out of the blue, and then ask you if you're 'fewmin' because Everton didn't buy anyone.

Why yes, this did happen to me.

I know this is contentious, and I know that I am a poor blue for saying it, but I hope we get absolutely stuffed by City....there I’ve said it......

I don't, I never hope we get beaten, but we've got as much chance of beating them as my incontinent old cat has of not pooping on my floor for one week.

Oh, I've made my peace with it. This MNan Cioty team are brittle and will drop a good few points still. But it's nice to know that we can get right up their noses at least a couple of times this season.

It's a knocker that gormless get has his best game of the season.

Don't bother giving them a coherent response because all you will get is 'AH YEH HEDS FELL OF AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAH' in response. Or maybe a nice classic 'EVERTON WIVES RUN FOR YOUR LIVES'

The reason why no one wants them to win anything is because they are such bad winners. They are unbearable. I can deal with the die hard Scouse reds who've followed them for years but the ones who all of a sudden come out of the woodwork and start ramming it down your throat. I don't think there is a club more universally disliked by other fans. Every single Manc, without exception, I have spoken to would rather City win the league. That speaks volumes and to say it's a regional thing is wrong because at the same time they'd sooner we won the league over City.

It's true that the arm chair fans come out of the wood work when the RS do well more so than any other club. The week leading up to the Champions League final my office was crawling with them. They'd all got back in their boxes by the Monday after the game.

 

[efcforever]

You name it I've heard it from them, salah better than messi is one of the tamest ones I've heard , titi camara is one of the best wingers this country has ever seen , is my favourite.

I once had one insist that Jerzy Dudek was the best keeper in the world.

 

[messymascot]

My RS mate says not a single Everton player would get in there team and would struggle to even get on the bench. Yet their heads will fall off when we get beat they will say we threw the game even though they think all our players are garbage.

The RS melts give all scousers a bad name. Personally I try and make allowances for Toffees but I'm sure plenty of others lump you all in together.

The 'Scouse not English' thing doesn't help.

Honestly if you don’t get the “scouse not English” thing that’s fine. But if you’re from the city or have any idea about how it’s viewed and been treated for a long time then you know it means more than just some footy fans giving it the big one. The RS don’t help the scouse image that’s for sure, but I can personally attest that I’m far prouder of my city (for reasons outside of football) than I am of this country. Nothing Kopite about that mate.

Quote from a local Australian webpage:
"Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp says his team have shown they are mentally equipped to handle a title run-in, having acquitted themselves well in high-pressure situations over the past few years."
Huh?
