i don't think i've ever whitnessed a prem season where they haven't been labelled as "title contenders" for the large majority of the past 5 or 6 years they've been in the same bracket as us and spurs, yet only they get called contenders :s
partly because of the mountains of dosh they splash on crap

Why Liverpool fans should Kop the flak for their tasteless Bucharest banner
10:00, 12 February 2010

There was a banner on Liverpool’s Kop last Saturday that carried an illustration of the European Cup and read ‘Steaua Bucuresti 1986’.

It was there to goad Everton fans who, to this day, still believe that the team that lifted the championship in 1985 would have gone on to win the greatest club competition of them all had tragedy not intervened in a corner of a Belgian field.

Howard Kendall’s side were prevented from become our standard bearers because of a ban imposed on English clubs in the aftermath of a disaster that saw 39 supporters killed before Liverpool’s European Cup final against Juventus in the Heysel Stadium.

So on May 7, 1986, Steaua Bucharest became European champions by beating Terry Venables’ Barcelona on penalties in Seville after a mind-numbing goalless draw.

And Everton’s golden generation – they won the title again two years later – were denied the opportunity for real greatness.

Now football fans of all clubs have this uncanny knack of pinpointing the weakness of the opposition and ramming home any advantage.

That’s why Hull supporters who gave John Terry grief one evening last week saw Wayne Bridge as fair game three days later.

It’s why some Manchester City fans called Manchester United supporters ‘Munichs’ and United once sang about City ‘going down like a Russian submarine.’

And it has to be said that Everton’s followers are not above reproach.

Some of the things they spout about Steven Gerrard are as reprehensible as the ‘Murders’ chants they sang from the sanctuary of the Anfield Road Stand last weekend.

But Liverpool’s supporters were the last people I expected to make capital out of a tragedy that cost 39 fans their lives.

Hillsborough permeates everything at Anfield. From the Living Flame memorial outside the stadium to the continuing fight for justice for the 96 supporters who went to an FA Cup semi-final in Sheffield in 1989 and never came home.

The grief will never go away.

I am sure the Kop banner carrying the name of the 1986 European Cup winners was intended to jar the nerves of Evertonians rather than be an insult to Juventus.

But to any Liverpool fan who thinks all’s fair in love and war, just answer one question.

How do you think someone sitting in Turin watching the Merseyside derby on television last weekend would have felt had they realised the significance of ‘Steaua Bucuresti 1986’?

That article is a mealy-mouthed crock of sh*t! The author obviously drinks the 'class & dignity FC' kool-aid if he thinks Kopites would be 'the last people <snip> to make capital out of a tragedy'.

There were MUNICH 58 banners openly on display at Heysel FFS!

For some reason, wee young Jordan Ibe has a double page spread in todays Mirror/People. He manages to slip in the old Gerrard chestnut and air it before the sanctimonious slurry of his last game even starts....
“Sometimes he doesn’t have to say anything but you just see the way he conducts himself on and off the pitch that he is a legend for the club...."

Still time to slip in a red card and/or court appearance before L.A. beckons though I guess.

Liverpool idol Jan Molby believes that his old side have avoided a potential Premier League flop after losing out on Memphis Depay to Manchester United.

The Netherlands international was announced as an imminent Red Devils signing yesterday, with a move from PSV Eindhoven set to go through as soon as the 21-year-old passes a medical.

His potential switch to Old Trafford is one that has come as a blow to the Reds, with reports in recent times having suggested that Depay was a major target for the club after ‘secret talks’ had taken place.
...
“He’s a typical Dutch wide man, he has real pace and ability to take on people.” He wrote in the Liverpool Echo. “He also has good technique and is a set-piece specialist but I’m not convinced he’s going to transfer his goalscoring into the Premier League.

“Of course, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink and Luis Suarez scored in the Eredivisie and then the Premier League, but not everybody does.”

Molby also believes that Depay is not the sort of player Liverpool actually need:

“He’s a wide man, not a striker, and got his goals while playing for the best team in Holland – so this isn’t something to be too disappointed about.

“I had a look at him when we were linked and thought he would be a good bonus signing, but he doesn’t fall into what Liverpool definitely need.”
