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

[Jacob]

Lads, I think this will be way worse than the 70s and early 80s.

Back then the gulf was only on the pitch......off the field they were no richer than us.

We always knew EFC was a sleeping giant which would one day stir.

We should have been champions in 1975 and gave it a good go under Gordon in 77/78 and 78/79.

The gap always looked easily bridgeable.....which Howard eventually proved.

But nowadays they are dwarfing us commercially in a way that never seemed possible even twenty years ago.

Plus you never had wall to wall football in the mainstream media back then.

If they win this title then be prepared or levels of unescapeable unbearability never before dreamed off

The only consolidation is that we are not alone in our dread of the oncoming horror.

Seems most other fans are too.

Know what you mean....but they can still get stuffed !!

Yeah mate but most other fans don't have to live amongst them

Make no mistake, this will be a terrible experience for Evertonians if/when they win the PL. They are the Establishment club, and it would be celebrated every bit as much as if England had won the World Cup. The accolades and tv programmes and documentaries wont stop coming for years. They will be presented as "the club that the whole country wanted to see crowned champions". Man Utd have always had the glamour, like some Hollywood star. The showbiz club. Liverpool, though, are the club that are presented as 'traditional' - part of the fabric of everyday English life, like the Queen, the BBC, the Grand National, Marks & Spencer, red telephone boxes, the bulldog.

It is going to come at us, wave after wave of sycophantic adulation. The longer they went without winning it, the greater the reaction was always going to be to their eventual landing of it. And after 30 years of failure, you can be sure we'll never hear the end of it. Not just through the summer, but over the next decade. Those playing it down on here are kidding themselves. The people who say 'it;'s best to get it over with' or 'I wont give a toss, I'm just concentrating on Everton'. That's a fairy story you're telling yourself, I'm afraid.

I think their supporters/idolaters including armchair and those infesting the national media have force-fed so much sentimental guff about them down the throats of the more rational football supporting public that they started to gag-reflex at their tarnished rose tinted image some time ago. I might have agreed with you to a degree a few years ago, but not now. Personally, its no fairy story for me. Im an Evertonian...always have been, always will be and nothing they've ever won or ever will win will change that. Theyre the spawn of the devil regards jamminess as proven with undeserved wins/decisions/officialdom etc over the years, but if they deserved to win it on merit Id say so and have done on occasion to the odd slobbering Kopite who doesn't know where Im at. Shuts 'em up you know...sanguine indifference disguised as a compliment...most of them cant process that.

It was Mane who was standing in an offside position when the ball went to Firminho (who was onside) mate, but Mane wasn't involved in the build up, so wasn't interfering with play, Firminho then has a shot (Mane is back onside when the shot is taken) it comes back off the post, and Mane taps in, so goal should have stood.

How do you rememeber all this stuff?

Yep mate,I think the penny has finally dropped with a lot of "neutral" fans about what we have known for donkeys years, they have their beloved Media/SKY behind them, but most football supporters won't be seeing them as their "second team" which is how they like to be perceived.

And so it begins.

The person who had the big RS flag hanging out of his flat window before the CL final has once again put out the flag..
Confidence must be high.

( and this is in Southampton btw )

Sure it's not a covert signal for male companionship when the fleets in ??

I'll never give them credit. Here's why: they shouldn't be in existence after the manslaughter they carried out.

Them winning trophies makes a mockery of criminal acts.
