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

Status
Not open for further replies.

I had a taxi back from the airport last weekend. Taxi driver was a red, I asked him his expectations for the season, prompting with happy to make sure you consolidate top 4 and get to after Christmas in the Champions League or would you prioritise a trophy? (which to be fair a lot of mates of mine who are reds have said they'd happily take this season). His response was astounding.

"I expect us to win it to be honest mate, the way we finished the season last year, can't see why we won't this year. As for the Champions League, get the right draw, can't see why we won't win that as well." I mentioned the loss of Suarez and he dismissed it out of hand with "Liverpool have always lost players in the past and it's never stopped us before, I can't see it making any difference." Went on to say his mates had similar expectations and he couldn't believe how long their odds for the title were.

Now I appreciate that all clubs have some delusional fans, but for me that was above and beyond, not to hope, but to expect to do the premiership and champions league double. The mind boggles.

I honestly don't think it's bias, or blue tinted specs on my part when I say I think of this season's title race as Man City vs. Chelsea (with the latter heavy favourites, could be a over by April season), Arsenal could go either way with a half-hearted challenge (and then comfortably taking 3rd) or a fight for Champions League places with us, Liverpool, Man U and Tottenham where 3rd and 4th are up for grabs.

Been away all weekend and had been hearing talk from a load of kopite friends that they were signing him and thought it was the usual nonsense. Can't believe they've got him for £16m

Had a feeling you would be on today. Can't quite think why like.... It usually happens on days like today though. You've honestly NOT heard about Liverpool and Balotelli ? Its been over a week now. But you're a blue though, so of course you wouldn't have heard.

Tbh I think Sturridge will do more than enough attacking wise for them this season, would bet a lot on him getting 25 goals

I was thinking more of an FTY style bet...loser must go to a home game at Anfield the season after and celebrate as a kopite for the day?

Those atrocious joke names and the 'murderers' term is what makes this thread an absolute embarrassment

After our defeat against Leicester

If he did that then it would have been slandered as the biggest Moyes move ever. They just weren't good enough second half and that's it...

I've been at Leeds festival. Do one. Balotelli for £16m is a very good deal in a footballing sense.
