I watched their game last night in a pub in the centre of Hull. Sitting around me there were about 30 people who were working in Hull from Carlisle, Derby, Swindon, Devon and Boston. Most supported their local teams Plymouth, Derby, Swindon, Carlisle, Villa with the odd Manu and the solitary RS fan from Boston. When they scored he was the only one that cheered all the rest groaned. By far the biggest moans and groans were for Suarez, Sturridge and Johnson diving/falling over when slightly touched. I asked who they wanted to win the league and the vast majority were for City, some weren't bothered but said City and a couple said Mourinho. Only the RS and 2 others wanted Liverpool. One thing that stood out was the dislike of Liverpool players diving particularly around the area, 'so that they can get a free kick and Gerrard or Suarez will score'. When they got the free kick and scored, one bloke said to his RS mate, 'see told you that would happen'.
They can't stand it that Moyes called us the 'People's Club', it has annoyed them ever since. Hence the PR Johnson's 'we will be the people's champions'. They are not the neutrals favourite and no amount of hanging around clubs interviewing fans until they get the 'I want Liverpool to win the Prem' response will change that.
