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

[Dithering Dougie]

He's scared of the Kopites. Rightly so too. He knows that massive adulation and death threats are differet sides of the same coin.

I read today that he's waiting for his pet dog to join him and his family in Liverpool...I'd leave it in Germany if I were him. That dog's going to be strung up from a lampost if they lose their forst three games under Klopp.

Losing the first 3 games is a distinct possibility and from Klopps perspective it's probably the best thing that could happen in the long run because it would quickly dampen expectations. Although that could quickly turn if he failed to get anything out of the following 3 games, which is also a very real possibility.

Around the exact time that gobshoite emlyn hughes blerted out his in his falsetto voice (Because his balls never dropped) "Altogether now, Livershoitepool are magic....." tripe .

lol lol lol

Yes.....prior to Emlyn's outburst they never seemed as bad.

It had been all downhill ever since.

 

[Woolly Blue]

Bad taste that I'm afraid........

@dandydan, no need for that image mate.

Agreed. Shows a lack of respect for the dead
Dandy can take some time off.

I'd be crapping myself if I lived in Poland........

We have no fear, mate

I tells ya - that's when it all started. From that came the creeping influx of their wool supporters.....who now outnumber them on matchdays.

Capello has always been a top notch club manager in my opinion...

I disagree, he is a good manager but he isn't one of the very best and the decision to sack del Bosque* (who had won the league twice and the Champions League twice in four years) was nonsensical, as subsequent events demonstrated.

* and replace him with Queiroz!

Indeed, they had just won their first European Cup yet felt the need to publicly rub our noses in it. Class and dignity were born that night......

interesting that older reds I know refuse to speak of Hughes in glowing terms

He wasnt a pleasant man by all accounts.

Nor exactly a shining example of professional probity. Most players in those teams did not like him I understand. Read somewhere that one of them, Tommy Smith I think, actually waited until he had died before releasing his biography; dead man cant sue.

Sure some of the older, local lads know more than me though.... @Eggs

Smith is another one who gets mixed reviews from my older red relatives etc, with Hughes it was generally just out and out insults and expletives

I have never forgiven Hughes for that incident on the steps of St. Georges Hall and never will.

Same here. I know me arl fella hated him...And I mean 'hated' him. Quite surprising for one of the most parochial kopites you'll ever see.

Like me arl fella, they're probly all in tommy (the clumsy bee-keeper) smith's corner. Hughes & smith hated each other.

Yep.....Of course it was a 'bitter' that blew him up lollollol

Don't think there was too many problems with his playing style, just remember my a few saying he a bit of a bell, loved his own hard man image a bit, that sort of thing, nothing compared to how hughes was talked about
