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

Not open for further replies.
I'm convinced West ham will do city, not in a " quietly hoping they do", I actually think they will.

0-1
 
This from RAWK:
Clutching at straws here but that's what I do,last nights result might be the one that wins us the league,City will now go out in their last two games thinking it's all over which might lead to a slip up

There is clutching at straws, and then there is just plain mental.
 
Tottenham apologise for tweet mocking Liverpool's league title blow
• Spurs apologise and claim Vine account was 'compromised'
• Tweet followed Liverpool's wild 3-3 draw at Crystal Palace

Spurs will get the blame for stopping the 'Roy of the Rovers' team from winning the league.

"We thought we could play Roy of the Rovers football and make the goal difference up but tonight was about winning the game".

And what part did Rodgers play in this debacle? Not my fault it seems. Blame the players. Who made the substitutions and who brought on Moses? Was he hoping for a miracle.
 
Crazy to think i was tempted to put a bet on this weekend for our perfect results. Almost worked out that way.

anyway i know they arent challenging for the league next season, not some sort of prediction, chelsea city and united will be stronger than this year and we will be better than this year hopefully. Add on top of arsenal adding another 40 million pound player to their first team and Liverpool need to spend a hell of a lot to compete, considering how little they always spend........

So i take joy in the fact that they are so far out of winning the league now. City win this week and it is almost over, only a draw needed against West ham which is brilliant for city.

Oh and genuinely true, about 7pm last night someone on facebook put a picture up of the 3-0 AC scoreline at half time with a pic of gerrard saying it wasn't over then, believe.

didnt think it would apply to the match they were about to watch lol

They're a peculiar beast, and a difficult one to try and analyse. So that's precisely what I'm gonna try and do.

On the face of it - a team coming from seventh to win a Premier League title would be something celebrated by the wider footballing world. It's tedious to watch the same players pass it on from each other and receive the adulation that comes with it. So by default humans welcome some change in their life.

The problem being for them is that the neutral fan almost to a man despises them and what they stand for. The reasons are what we already know as many years suffering as their rivals but perversely it's their best player who has almost single handedly being that agent of change in public perception that has made them so universally disliked. For all the reasons I don't need to go over but it's safe to say that their carefully engineered public mask slipped somewhat, and the unprepared public were subject to the hideous, bitter, one eyed myopic kopite behind it that we are very well aware of.

Humility is a trait that is celebrated in England. The best champions do it with integrity and by being the best and not resorting to having to cheat to prove it. Self deprecation goes a long way in facilitating positive thoughts about those who prosper.

A big problem is that your average kopite follows the club for reasons of self reflecting glory. It attracts a certain type of fan that has to rely on the perceived success of the club they follow to give them the identity they crave, rather than genuinely have.

So at the merest hint of success the full gloating parade comes out. Not content with the prospect of their chosen club being successful the average kopite has to use it as a vehicle to make them feel superior to others by their belonging. Out come the pre prepared buses (Athens 2007), the ruffling of Brian Laws hair by Aldridge despite the significance of the replayed game and my personal favourite - the Premier League Champions 2013/14 t shirts readily being pushed around the city prior to the beautiful Chelsea capitulation.

It's so, so similar to religious fundamentalism in that there's one myopic point of view and agreed path of glory and low and behold anyone who speaks out against it. The healthy leveller of criticism and debate is met with hostility and any method is used to silence the perceived dissenters, including stooping so low to making fictitious accounts of spitting on a monument outside their stadium for the dead. Or as we see - the twitter army putting pressure/death threats on those in the media trying to speak out on negative things the club or it's followers are doing. Look at the disgraceful displacement of families around the ground to enable the extension of their stadium. I've seen very few media pieces for an unethical process that deserved widespread condemnation.

As a safeguard to keep the general public on the party line there is an unprecedented amount of ex players in the media offering key commentary on the national game, with always a sympathetic slant towards their ex employers. This is not a conspiracy as they may level at others, but a given fact, the numbers and percentage of their ex players outstrip any other club - never mind one that's not won been the best team in their country for nearly a quarter of a century.

You and I live with and note the hypocrisy and bitterness (YES! actual substantiated bitterness!) of them on a day to day basis but there needs to be a continuation of those with media standing speaking out. They're a foul institution and as such should be called on it until the point where they develop a collective awareness that facilitates positive change.

So, in summary - LOL @ Stevie's slip and Palace out-Istanbulling you.

This is an accurate summation of them. But, I don't think it really needs to be on the homepage in all honesty.

Again it's linked in to the misinformation and propaganda their ex bellend employees in the media spread.

They're trying to paint themselves as relative paupers compared to namely Chelsea, City and United. Yet the statistics show that they have spent £200m in the past couple of years and over the entire period of the Premier League - a competition they have not won - they are third top spenders.

So watch and see the collective narcissism in them now will manifest itself in the next couple of days shouting about how great it is to qualify for the Champions League against the odds, when the reality is that they should have been finishing top three at least (and more) during the past twenty odd years based on the resources available to them. Which they've duly wasted.

They had this title in the bag up until the moment their cringeworthy ultra wannabes starting unveiling MAKE US DREAM and #wegoagain banners over the walls of Melwood like creepy stalkers in the past two weeks.

In their classless way they then decided to parade a player before a key Chelsea game who controversially put them through to a Champions League final at the expenses of the opposition that day by cheating them out of it with a "ghost goal".

Class and dignity eh?

It would seem that messrs Mourinho and Karma could proceed with a policy of inaction no more.

And how we laughed!

Wait, that Luis Garcia thing actually happened? I thought it was a joke. Unbelievable. Truly unbelievable.

I like to think that those weird banners being thrown over the walls of Mellwood were the last straws which broke the back of Buckaroo FC, causing them to totally bugger it up. Hahahahaha.

The fans did put extra pressure on the team, plus waiting for the team bus to come in. The celebrations over city was silly as well
 
Anyone who thought all the merseyside stuff was genuine etc, watch how they turn now!

There'll be murder when we eventually get the better of them regular! There's no info in the scarves and banners handbook on how to handle coming up short. All it says is lie and slander.
