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

[davek]

...and that orange kit. FFS.

 

[Yarrgh]

First Cuckoo of spring.

Had the awesome thrill of listening to a Kopite in the supermarket telling someone how they were going to win the CL this year.

Oh and how much he hated Juve and their 'lying fans'

If I hadn't heard it with my own ears I'd not believe it.

Then he had the usual bite about us.

I can't believe it reading that. Abysmal.

@HongKongToffee I expect a full run down of Keita’s performance tonight, complete with detailed graphs of his stats and a comprehensive list of all the players he’s better than. You’re competing with that Gylfi Sigurdsson nutter here so no pressure

Klopp proclaiming the RS “belong” in the last eight of the CL.

One would have thought the fact they had just won a two leg tie in the last sixteen match made that fact axiomatic.

But as usual, the re-affirmation has to be shouted from the rooftops.

The cult is so Narcissistic it cannot exist without inviting outside comments to quell its insecurity.

Maybe he should talk about how they "belong" 18 points behind the league leaders.

He was majestic mate, best player I've ever seen. He got that round ball and turned it into a square ball, a triangle ball, made the ball disappear, turned it into 3 balls where the opposiion didn't know which ball was real and which ball was an illusion. He made the ball levitate, he made the ball deviate, he made the ball communicate, he made the ball anticipate itself, it's soul, it's very own existence. He made time stop, the earth stood still, Jesus wept and the choir sang. Trump addressed the US of A handing in his resignation, offering his position to the only true natural successor which of course was Keita and along with the Martians living on planet Vulcan, were in agreement that planet Earth should be left in peace whilst this man, this pure species was alive and about to become the final final 2nd from last final missing piece half way there next step big leap giant step last last last last check mate last piece of the jigsaw to world domination for Libberpool Futball Klub



Everyone else who watched gave him a solid 6/10

Beautifully written that, touching, very touching.

I see the build up for the Utd v Liverpool match has started.

Did you know that it's not just about two football teams? Yeah, it's also about the rivalry between two cities over economic superiority (the hostility between the owners of the Port of Liverpool and Manchester mill owners and the building of the Manchester Ship Canal), and it's about the rivalry of working class culture, specifically concerning music rivalry and which was the best era: Merseybeat or Madchester.

In tears here. Was just about to go to bed as well ffs. I can never sleep when I’m laughing uncontrollably.

Utter pony he was. I see the RAWKultists are drooling over his zombie walk forward and pass for the Leipzig goal. I'm not surprised, he was a passenger for the rest of the game.

They wasted half the Coutinho money on Leroy Fer MkII...and that's doing a disservice to Leroy.

He'll be getting racially abused at Klanfield this time next season.

What a load of twaddle.

No such “rivalry” existed when I was growing up.

This nonsense started when they had their golden decade from the mid 70s until Howard’s team knocked them off their perch in 1985.

They could not handle the fact that even though they were all conquering at home and abroad, United were still regarded as both bigger and more glamorous than them

And it is a wonder they haven’t brought the Merseybeat into it.....saying the Mancs were jealous that The Beatles and The Searchers were better than The Hollies and Herman’s flaming Hermits respectively

 

[Sarnia Kevin]

I think it goes back a lot further than the 70's. My Manc friend, who is just 70, was brought up to be anti-Liverpool (the city) by his dad. It's called local rivalry. He also has the same hatred of anybody from Yorkshire, go figure as the yanks say

All the non-football stuff = Sky-era BS which had the objective of creating a rivalry where none existed on the pitch.

We have to endure this every time they play a game against each other.

Everton, the real McCoy team of the city, demoted to a bit part player: rivals to Liverpool FC but not to the same degree as with Utd blah, blah, blah.

Yeah, 'kin right. Anyone who's witnessed an Everton derby win against them knows how they go full-on Kopite homicide in a way they never go when they get their arses kicked by United.

That is a different issue, Kev.

There is an old adage......”one Englishman only has to open his mouth and speak for another Englishman to hate him”.

In shirt, regionalism is a nasty undercurrent in English society.

But there was none of this nonsense about Liverpool and Manchester in particular back in the 50s and 60s.

Let me put it this way.

Is there any great cultural divide between the RS and City?

Or between EFC and United?

No.

There ain’t.

This is a manufactured football rivalry.

And it is largely conducted by Norwegians, Micks, Cockneys and Jocks

I didn't watch the game as i was sleeping (Hong Kong time ) and i've never watched him live as i have no interest in a Bayern dominated boring Bundesliga,of what i've seen of him is youtube highlights and a gander on squawka.

But you tagged me for stats on tonight sgame and i'll oblige.

On whoscored.com he got man of the match with a 8.56 score.

102 touches
93% pass completion
5 out of 7 take ons
5 tackles
2 key passes
1 assist
