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

[degsy]

Nothing could be worse than the 1986 dual homecoming the day after the FA cup final.
If you lived through that as I did, I couldn't give a flying fig how many European Cups they win.

Didn't Reidy refuse to go on it

Didn't Reidy refuse to go on it

Indeed he refused to go. I didn't know he was fined for doing so!
Just thinking about it what kind of marketing manager agreed to a stunt like that? Topical subject like.

The way we're being run today he's obviously still there

There's pain and then there's '86. Witnessed as a nine year old and I'm still emotionally scarred by that week in May. Nothing will ever come close.

Nailed it exactly.

Jeezus....I thought 2005 was bad, really bad.

I can only be greatful I was just too young to remember 86 if that was worst.

It sounds like I dodged a bullet.

I shouldn't really be surprised when I think about it that it's some 32 years ago now and a generation were not around.
But I shudder even now thinking about it. How cruel it must have been for our players.

1986 was hell, it's hard to quantify how much it stung having them beat us to the double. Particularly straight after the European ban. Thing is the players back then seemed to be so much closer to the fans and felt every loss just as bad as us. The current lot just aren't arsed....

2005 was a giant kick in the balls, the subsequent CL game against Villareal just took the pish in the worst possible "Everton that" moment since.

If they triumph - undoubtably due to a snide decision knowing their satanic nature - the summer will be pretty much unbearable.

De Bruyne can console himself with his two trophies whilst Salah shines his tin pot thinking how he will ever win a premier league.

He could move to City but hell, at least let's make the competition something of a challenge. If Salah moves to City they'll win the title in February.

Loads of these tramps in town already, stumbling around looking vacant with their suitcase and 10 bags from the Souvenir Shop.

 

[hallamblue]

What annoys me is like Coutinho/Sterling/Suarez he'll go for a massive fee and be nothing special at his new club. They always seem to have players who play much better at their club than whoever they move on to.

Sterling is twice the player he was for them.

They'll all be wearing their replica shirt tonight, whilst watching our match.

The Pricks are at it again.

The Pricks are at it again.

I’m sure the police will give them the exact time the coach will arrive.

 

[davek]

Klopp has issued a plea for Liverpool fans not to wreck the Roma coach or endanger life.

Is there another club in this country that needs to remind its own fans not to kill the opposition?
