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

The stupid thing about the whole thing is that he doesn't take into account the away crowd. So there's been times we've had a full house for an evening game v Newcastle but they've brought about 100 fans and he's laughing that the stadiums not full. Brainless.
What MM and a few others at RAWK who've piped up today have totally failed to grasp is that I don't consider it to be a valid reason to 'make fun' of EFC at all because its a meaningless insult. There are evertonians within walking distance of the ground that could fill those empty seats 1000s of times over, but they can't afford to 'go the game' because tickets are prohibitively expensive to many ordinary working people. To ridicule this is something I'd expect from an affluent Man U fan living in Cheshire.

If your Grandson does make it, it maybe wise to make out he isn't a Scouser as this crowd will crucify him when he get his big chance
Also Everton FC belongs to its supporters, as it could do without some of these so called Evertonians
Melling is pure wool to be fair.
 

Liverpool Mascot Tears Hamstring

Liverpool’s injury crisis shows no sign of abating, with the club confirming that mascot Mighty Red tore his hamstring during a corporate event last night. The giant bird was entertaining a group of children when he reportedly pulled up and had to be stretchered away after receiving oxygen.

“It’s a bad tear,” club physio Chris Morgan told Soccer on Sunday. “He’s looking at 6 to 8 weeks. The gaffer’s had to recall Bloodthirsty Rottweiler from a loan spell at Crewe. Rotty’s a good mascot, but he’s not great with kids. There’s been one or two issues there. ”

Speaking this morning, Mighty Red admitted that manager Jurgen Klopp had asked him to adjust his style in recent weeks.

“I’d normally let the kids come to me a little,” the giant bird told Soccer on Sunday. “But the gaffer asked me to press them, create a high line. Maybe I didn’t warm up well enough, but it’s hard to know. I fractured a wing last year. Injuries happen.”

The latest woe marks the sixth hamstring suffered at Anfield in recent weeks. Club legend Graham Souness believes that Liverpool might be paying a price for adapting to their manager’s high-intensity style. Klopp dismisses the criticism.

“We must all press,” the German told Soccer on Sunday. “The players must press, the mascots, the receptionist — everybody. I had the food counter in the canteen brought 10 yards forward to create a high line, so the chefs can press the people eating the food. We must have intensity in everything we do.”

“If you think you can press and also have working hamstrings, that’s crazy,” added Klopp. “Everybody must choose. Success, or their hamstrings. There is no third choice.”

Why is their mascot a lobster?

Yep. I go the game when I can but it's not cheap. I have to factor in travel as well, coming form Manchester. Season tickets practically cost a month's wages. So Liverpool fans going 'hur hur empty seats' or making fun of me for not going matches is really, really irritating.
