ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC" part 3

PaulPowersTash said:
Its amazing: At the end of last season Burnley put in a super human effort to try and stop City winning the league at Turf Moor - to a man (and manager).
They played like it was a world cup final and were totally devastated when we beat them. Liverpool turn up and it's truly a walk in the park for them.
Burnley have not played any where near like they did against City before or after. Why?

Perhaps Burnley only can get themselves interested for big teams when they visit?

On the subject of the 'good old days' of the 'friendly rivalry' that some on here are waxing lyrical about, I have to state my case.

I hated that. I hated the media trumpeting about how the fans 'loved' each other, 'backed each other in finals', sat next to each other.

I never once sang 'Merseyside' at a game. I never once sang a gloating song about Manchester at a Derby.

They are, and always have been, our number one rivals. And that is before the actual logical reasons to despise them.

Sorry, but the day I want Liverpool to win a game is the day I've lost touch with what being an Evertonian is. Playing Man Utd? United all day long and twice on Sundays.

Remember that vomit-inducing team photo around the '85 cup final time, with the players from the two teams lining up standing alternately, and the two managers sat at the front? Anyone who considered putting that on their wall wanted a punch in the face, but only after every single person in the photo.

Bitter? That's me. I hate them, I always have. The day I saw a guy burning a Liverpool scarf in the Gwladys in the mid-80s was the day I knew the 'friendly rivalry' was dead, if it really ever existed. And I smiled because all was as it should be.

I'm just saying...

Tough to score against and get goals. A team like that will do well anywhere. They are VERY fortunate to find themsleves in a two horse race for two years running though. They'd be struggling to get near City if there was a functioning United, Arsenal and Chelsea to take points off them and add to the competition.

As soon as those teams sort themselves out Liverpool will be back where they belong: struggling for CL qualification places.

Was talking about Juventus being the biggest, richest club in Italy and why would they let Kean go, when all their strikers were 30 plus. He was inferring that Mean must have an "attitude problems", in as many words. When really all he had to do was a little research, Kean was in the last year of his contract and wanted to play first team football. Yes Souness's alarm bells were ringing, his own word's. There was other things which I can't really recall atm.

Sorry I was thinking of another thing about Souness, Anyway from what I recall it was on match of the day 2 last night. Wright thinks there must be a feud going on between Mane and Salah, that reaction Mane gave was in his words, definitely not just over that one incident. He showed clips (lol) of Salah not passing to Mane last season and Mane's frustration and a chart which gave passes and chances made by each player to the other.
 
Walking into our local Tesco at 10 a.m yesterday morning - Kopite neighbour is walking out, his first words "Christ your lot have had a terrible start to the season haven't they", and he was actually being serious! Replied " good to see you've already won the league again after four games" - yes he says "we're well on the way! They've played four games :confused::confused::(
 

Not that I wish to mention the berks at The Red Rag, but it seems under freedom of info, theyve obtained race hate crime stats from the Police re Goodison and Anfield. Anfield's read 12 for 2018, Goodison's read 2 for 2018. 16/17/18 totals 21 for them ; 5 for us. Of course, the paper points out that "data for the second half of Liverpool F.C.'s Champions League winning season was not yet available from the Force". They are at pains to point out that it doesnt say home or away supporters but refer to the number of high profile incidents that LFC players have been subjected to which have repeatedly hit the headlines. Code for away fans being the guilty parties surely. Our 2 is, of course, still 2 too many, but by comparison were doing something right. The fan commissioned Moise Kean anti racism support banner soon to be displayed at Goodison will hopefully help our efforts even further.

"I was going to stand up at a football ground and spout racist abuse at a 19 year old, but that banner has really made me see the error of my ways..."

Whether or not they have more is really inconsequential. It’s a disgusting stat for both clubs.
