Transfer Rumour Juan Mata

[efc.1878]

Don't forget Liverpool is only a 40min flight to Dublin! !

Just got back from Dublin last night, flight from Liverpool only took 35mins, couldn't believe how quick it was! Absolutely incredible place btw!

I think people who aren't from Liverpool in the UK see Liverpool as being industrial and the basically having the docks. What you fail to understand is that there's 124k of coastline here and some of it is quite beautiful, for leisure we have seven championship golf courses and more courses per head of capita than the whole of Britain including two open venues, Royal Birkdale and Royal Liverpool. The World's greatest steeplechase the Grand National is here and Chester and Haydock races are down the road, and we have the most National museums and galleries outside of London, hence European capital of culture. The city centre is one of just over 1000 world heritage sites in the world awarded by the UN and we are internationally famous. The city is a draw internationally even though people in this country don't see it through constant negative media stories, and this is without me even getting into it.

But dem scarsers r bindipperz m8

(Spot on though yeah)

As someone who isn't from Liverpool I can tell that is wrong.

I have no links at all to Liverpool other than Everton, and would say me and people I know hold Liverpool as a city in high regard.

It's a vibrant and still up and coming city to most I know.

One of the worst posts I've ever seen.

They're not some provincial backwater you couldn't point out on a map.

Both comfortably inside the top 5 places to live in England.

Even if Liverpool or Manchester cities don't float your boat Cheshire has many affluent and very lovely areas, with the benefit of being close to Liverpool, Manchester and the M6

People who say things like that usually come from areas with much worse deprivation or it's as bad as and have a much higher crime rate, Manchester yes that you.

I suppose we're any easy target for those who want to hate, the media trot out the same old stuff all of the time and the haters lap it up, you can't mention Toxteth without them mentioning deprivation and some riots in 1981 (which happened all over the country by the way and despite it having so many amazing buildings). And our crime stats are some of the best in England but again you wouldn't know it from listening to the media or on the forums. I suppose, if you are actively searching for a target then we're here, if you're more level headed and look beyond the stereotypes then you will come to your own conclusions like you have yourself. I suppose I'm referring to 'many' people and not all.

Liverpool has a great reputation in Ireland. People over here love the city.

Probably worth adding that of course me and my friends don't speak for everyone. One of my best mates married a scouser (a blue thank the lord) and she couldn't wait to and visit and now she loves it.

But yeah, it does get bad press for no real reason.

If people believe what they read or what the media says than maybe. Luckily most people aren't utter morons and can make their own mind up.
