[Football] Liverpool and their self-importance

When I started at HGSB in 1969 every kid had a school bag that was a football bag. Leeds, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea. Not one Brighton. Lots of us went to watch the Albion, but nobody claimed to be a Brighton supporter. We were a small division 3 side. Not proper football, even. It perked up a bit when we were in our later teens, and Clough arrived, but . . . . .

The plastic Liverpool fan is everywhere. I live in the Midlands and recently ran a race night with the option to buy and name your own horse. It was Anfield this, Liverpool that with the coup de grace being 3 horses named after the Chicken Tikka Mo Salah pun. Football training is awash with Liverpool kits (and one solitary knockaert or ryan top)
City may have only bought up 25k for the cup semi but they regularly churned out big crowds in league 1, have a largely local fan base and don't take themselves too seriously. For sure they are funded dubiously and borderline illegally but I'd rather they won than Liverpool. Just imagine the tweets we will be subjected to if they will the bloody thing.

Oh yeah. the 90% horror fest is full of that. I was an early adopter back in 2007. I'd never join up from scratch today unless forced in to it.

Woah! Clearly touched a nerve here!
Liverpool your 'other' team, eh? Or your first really?
I'd be a lot happier for Liverpool to win the league if it wasn't for their fans and their seemingly complete inability to STFU about how many times they've won the European cup or similar. They're so much more arrogant than even Man Utd fans are, at least when Utd have been shit they've accepted it whereas Liverpool fans utterly refuse to countenance any other team being better and when they lose it's all a conspiracy.
Man City might not have many fans, but at least that means they don't seem quite as obnoxious.

That's bollocks (and I know both of you so I can say that).
Tell him to wind his neck in then. Cheers.
Anyway, I must have been walking alone because I know only three Liverpool fans, my mate and his kids. They are all scousers. Their second team is BHA (because of me). I love them dearly. I have run across some southerners who claim to supp.....
Let's stop there shall we. If you are Brighton (or Hove) Born and Bread, you cannot be a Liverpool (or ManU) 'supporter'. Anyone who wastes a nonosecond talking to such weasels needs their head examined.
'I support Liverpool because they are the bestist'. FFS
This is a bit like claiming to be a red hot lover because of the quality of porn you've wanked over. Seriously.

This. Who cares how other clubs present themelves to their own supporters?
To be honest, folks who have so much loathing for other clubs.....do you actually enjoy the game or is it just about showing how your town is better than their town? Personally I like football, and I like watching it. A few years ago most of us were up to our elbows in MOTD, and balls-deep into the champion's league. Now these clubs have suddenly become our rivals.....
Champions League? Couldn’t give a xxxx, then or now. Bad for the health of most of our domestic clubs.
Poch will manage them one day, especially with his Spanish experience.

Who cares. Whoever wins it deserves to. Concentrate on being fans of our own club

I use Facebook and never see any of those things. Perhaps choose your friends more wisely?
This shows the arrogant shits for what they are.

Did you meet any City fans at Wembley? All of the top 6 clubs have arrogance in spades.
Pretty sad when we’re wasting our energy worried/bothered by Liverpool, we have slightly more pressing matters nearer to home....

Try being from South Yorkshire where there are dozens of teams to support locally before you go glory hunting. I literally laughed my head off in the mid 90's when I moved to Brighton and there was only one local team to consider before dirtying yourself.
