Would someone explain this to me:

To be fair Shankly didnt hate Liverpool. He clearly felt let down and rightly so considering he built them into the club they are now. Without him they would still probably be stuck in the second division going nowhere.
The Liverpool board **** themselves cos they seen what happened when Busby retired at united. He cast a long shadow and managers after him failed badly. Classic case and could happen to united now if Ferguson tries to pull the strings too much. They even got relegated as a result.

We tried to pick Shankly's brain on football when he felt he wasnt welcome at Melwood but from what ive read he never gave us much. He appreciated us though.

I was getting into football after the Shankly era when unfortunatley the other side were dominating .. due to the foundations shankly lay. I never hated him though. He was from that old school of football managers and players that sadly doesnt exist anymore. You hated them during the 90 minutes but it wasnt quite the all consuming hatred that we get from both sides nowadays. (better days I think although I am biased as Everton used to win things then!)

Amazes me that their older fans don't slap these young lads into shape with regard to these chants. No matter what they say they've never had Hillsborough thrown in their face with anything even approaching the same venom with which they gave us munich for years and years and even today they're worse than we are.

If there was an LFC fan on here he'd immediately say "you sing Murderers" and "without killing anyone" and no doubt there's a snide reference to Hillsborough in there but never once have they been subjected to an en masse verse of any Hillsborough song, not once, never, can't repeat it enough because it wouldn't be allowed by the majority of our fans

I wont be there this weekend as the missus is doing a ****ing 10k at Tatton Park and I have to be there but I was there last season and every season for about the previous 25 years and everytime they're doing aeroplane impressions from behind police lines or from the main stand, they've learnt **** all, they respect nothing.

They become less and less relevant to us with every passing year, it's like a last desperate bid to attract our attention.

The bottom line nails it mate and they know it.
 
have we had this yet?

Liverpool have apologised and launched an investigation after their Twitter account appeared to mock the Munich air disaster.

@LFC asked fans to suggest three tracks to be played over the Tannoy at Anfield ahead of Sunday's meeting between the Premier League's two fiercest rivals.

One fan apparently responded by suggesting three songs making fun of the 1958 tragedy in which eight Manchester United players died.

The songs were Come Fly With Me by Frank Sinatra, Always Look on the Bright Side of Life by Eric Idle and I Like to Move it by Reel to Reel, according to the Manchester Evening News.

The Monty Python song has been adapted by some who chant "Always Look on the Runway for Ice" while Reel to Reel's 90s dance track has been switched to "I Like to Munich, Munich".

The Liverpool account, which has 1.9m followers, then tweeted back: "Have you been sneaking a look at the dressing room iPod?"

After a deluge of complaints the offending tweet was deleted.

Liverpool today released a statement saying: "Liverpool Football Club responded quickly to correct the error of judgment that was made last night on it's official Twitter account in responding to a distasteful and inappropriate tweet. The club took decisive action and the comment was deleted swiftly.

"We apologise, unreservedly, for any offence that was caused by this mistake."

Liverpool have launched an internal investigation into how it happened.

A Manchester United spokesman said: "We welcome the apology."

In fairness the "without killing anyone" chant isn't at all classy but it goes far beyond stupidity when the club is promoting the behaviour.
