The problem is it’s a self fulfilling cycle. Liverpool fans absolutely lap up any form of media attention about them in a way no other fan base do. They’re the easiest fan base to extract money from in the world. Nivea have even justified a business case based on potentially alienating all other fans of premier league teams by advertising with Liverpool knowing full well that normal people won’t be bothered by it and will still buy their deodorant but they’ll tap into a rampant cult market all trying to one up each other and prove themselves top reds by buying only Nivea.

So the media execs, pundits, commentators, and football presenters know that if you churn out positive content about Liverpool it gets lapped up, websites are clicked on, tweets liked, tv subscriptions bought. Other fans turn off and the market research just continues to inform the view that if you pander to Liverpool fans you get more money. It used to be a bit similar for Arsenal fans (hence the success of AFTV) but United fans for example never really bought into all that even when they were winning it every year. The newspapers remained often quite negative about United as they are about City now. Some fan bases just love reading about themselves all day long and none more so than the narcissists over the park.

Telegraph Sport were at it again today. Two double page spreads on Liverpool. One an article by a self-confessed Liverpool fan, who said: 'The speed and scale of the improvement over the past two seasons would be worthy of greater acclaim if this side were not in the same era as Manchester City.' Well the Telegraph Sport are doing their best to rectify this.

Fella who posted the incident on his Twitter has changed his account to private. No doubt getting pelters for daring to show that lot in a bad light.

I seen someone tweet about it and get told it wasnt the day for sharing negative stories about Liverpool Football Club. While I, like the fella in question im sure have always been %100 supportive of Hillsborough, that just bolux.

Chelsea fans showed class yesterday, shame Liverpool fans cant
 

I’m confident they’ll draw one of the Newcastle / Wolves games.

Wolves have beaten Liverpool once already, drawn with City, beaten Utd twice and drawn with them once, beaten Chelsea once and drawn with them once, drew with us, drew with Arsenal.

Some record v top 6 teams that. Don’t underestimate them, and we know what the last day of the season can throw up. Banana skin written all over it, will be classic Liverpool.

Wolves are great this season and i expect them to want to end on a high as much as they can, i also dont see Newcastle players rolling over as much as we might think, lets face it, we didnt roll over for city, even if some fans wanted us to, players just dont look at it like fans, Liverpool might beat them on merit, but im sure they will have to work for it
 

Best fans in the world, apparently :
