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

devogue · March 15, 2019

I have a feeling that Liverpool would actually beat Barcelona. Barca are a good team but they aren't as strong as they once were (Messi is carrying them), and they also an arrogant side who would leave their defence exposed like City did last season.

That stuff with the flights still makes me laugh, so funny, I often laugh about it to myself when I see a plane.

I might be weird, but if they did fluke the CL, (every cup win by anyone ever has some fluke involved), I am not that arsed. Dont get me wrong, I dont want them to win it, but in Kopite minds, its their nearly 30 years of League Winners absence that stings more.

Maybe its the similar feeling that United fans have with not being arsed if/WHEN City win the league instead of that lot.

Sadly, it's scant relief from the weeks of puff pieces about European Royalty that we have to endure leading up to it

Ah the joy and hilarity at the heads falling off is worth it. Days like fanta scruff still bring joy.

Barca estimated fans worldwide - 450 million

Liverpool estimated fans worldwide - 100 million

Guess who UEFA want in their final?

Thought it was 100 million just on Merseyside?

If Suarez goes all racist and starts bitting people after scoring the winning goal, and the press start going for him... do you think it will still be a witchhunt, or just the lovable rogue antics of someone from a rough background?

And of course Chelsea are playing away in Europe the Thursday night before the RS game..

You’re talking out of your hoop, mate. Teams like City and Liverpool beat other teams because they’re miles better than them. Liverpool wouldn’t have accumulated as many points as they have if they weren’t a very good team. Pointless denying it. Makes you look clueless.

I meant not that good compared to let's say Arsene Wengers Arsenal sides, in the 2000s, or United's teams in the late 2000s and 1990s, nor are they anywhere near Man City last season. Look at their team in 2013/2014, Suarez, Sterling, Sturridge, Gerrard, Agger, Coutiniho even Skirtel was wanted by Barca recently. They destroyed us, United, beat Spurs 5-0 away from home and 4-0 at home, thrashed Arsenal 5-1 and beat City. Beat West Brom 4-1, Fulham 4-0, Norwich 5-1 and so on.
We would of got a result against them if it wasn't for a Pickford mistake and we're far worse now than we were then. They lost 3 of their group games, in one of those games the player who scored against them works part time in his dad's shop, plus if Napoli hadn't missed a sitter in the 91st minute they'd be out. What's happened is teams like us are spending huge amounts of money on s***e players so it seems like the standard of football is going up when it isn't. Just because Celtic have dominated the SPL from 2012, doesn't mean they're a great team, it just means the other teams are crap. Any time a team put's in any effort such as us a few weeks ago and West Ham and Leicester previously they s**t themselves. City are a great side though probably one of the best teams I've seen at GP.
