Get ready for an hour long lecture on how they transformed the very game itself in the 70's and 80's. So cataclysmic was the shift that they caused that it lead to them becoming shite, having a brief upturn for a decade and now are sliping back into averageness.
Seriously, no team could live with them apparently.
(Jesus Christ, I know they had a fucking good period of winning shit) but you'd think they were 1950 RM and 1970 Brazil rolled into one, dipped in honey and inserted into Natalie Portman).

I've posted in several threads on this topic before, so if others have read similar posts from me in the past, I apologise for repeating myself.
I met my wife at Uni and moved to Liverpool, where she is from, about 12 years ago. When I first moved here it was unusual for the locals to meet a Spurs fan and as such football is one of the first things many people talk to me about. Obviously I know loads of Liverpool and Everton fans now and I will always have a chat about footie with them.
At first I had no axe to grind with either team, didn't mind watching Liverpool win their 'treble' back in 2001, let's face it, a great acheivement. They were lucky though.
Fast forward 10 years and we are a better side than them and I now can't stand the average Liverpool fan. If Spurs lose I often receive gloating text messages or snidey remarks. They fear us. We are cocky, media darlings, not all that etc.
Any Everton fan will praise us for the football we are playing, our players and where we are in the league. Any Liverpool fan will either try to play it down with how well we are playing or make out they have been unlucky, we are above our station and normal service will be resumed next year when we will finish mid table and they will once agin "win the league next year".
If we finish above them this year, that will be 3 seasons on the trot. It could be 2 Champs League campaigns in 3 years and none for them. At this point their history will be rolled out.
The Suarez / Dalglish thing was an utter disgrace from day 1, in my father in laws mind though Evra and Ferguson are to blame and in the wrong. Incredible.
I now don't really want to discuss football with many of the fans I know here. Evertonians are a much more pleasant breed.
Dalglish acheived something last weekend that many thought wasn't possible. He made Sir Alex Ferguson seem more reasonable, in touch, less biased and blinkered, more media friendly and savvy, more moral and likeable.
Well done King Kenny, let's hope he carries on managing them next season.

I just had a flick through a page of the Liverpool forum someone linked in this thread.
Fuck me they're delusional.
And I also couldn't understand half of the posts, they were so poorly constructed.
I think I dislike Liverpool and their fans even more now and I didn't think that was possible.

So here is there newest attempt to justify themselves
And it's very popular on 9Gag. I hate them so much.
Pathetic, absolutely pathetic.

Anyone that has me on facebook will have seen the "discussion" I had with 2 liverpool fans They really are a clueless bunch, except the third liverpool fan who goes to uni with me wrote this..
"What irritates me most about the whole Suarez racism issue is this. He was found guilty, fined some money (which he can easily afford), and banned for eight games. If a fan had been found guilty of an identical offense, they would have been banned from all grounds for a number of years, and have to give up passport etc whenever their national team plays. One rule for players, one rule for fans, it's not a great way of dealing with things. If the man is guilty, and he was found guilty, then he should be punished equally to a fan. This from a Liverpool fan, by the way. I think Dalglish is right for defending his player, but wrong for not separating his player and racism. It would have been much better to say "I don't support racism, but I will forgive my player for his actions, and back him in this time where he needs support." I also think Suarez should have been made to donate money to an anti-racism charity."
Some do talk sense, but they are few and far between.

Sadly this is the most damning statement made to date about them.
We can all look at any club and see that they are made of reasonable supporters, but there exists a small element of horrible people. If we take our intense rivalries with West Ham, Arsenal and/or Chelsea out of the equation, most of know many more decent fans than bad ones. We just don't like to admit it sometimes. And this definitely applies to our club. You can't have a big following and not expect to attract a few turds.
But with Liverpool, its gotten to the point that the inverse arguement is in effect. They are bad, but there are a few good ones.
John Oliver, the comedian, from the Daily Show is a Liverpool supporter and he's very nice and definitely intelligent. But even there I am stretching to somebody somewhat famous.
If he had said this on Rawk, he would have been shot.
