Why all the Liverpool hate? Don't get it. They are a massive club always have been always will be. Yes they have had problems in recent years but they will be back at some point.

Anfield is still the best and most special ground in the country IMO give me an Anfield over Eastlands, Emirates, Stamford bridge etc every single time.

Yes we have had the better of it over the last 3/4 seasons but guys show some class. You have to respect LFC as a club. Always enjoyed a beer and a chat with Liverpool fans before and after the game at WHL never seen much animosity, so really don't get all the hate on here??!

Would much prefer LFC to be in the top4 than any of the other clubs up there with us. Especially the club that is everything I hate.... Chelsea! Now the hate I have for them is something else!

Not from RAWK, but off the BBC website in respect of Joe Cole returning to Wet Sham, his 'spiritual home', after being failed by his managers!

"But to many Cole was the landmark signing the club had been waiting for, proof that Liverpool would succeed under Roy Hodgson and a sign that the allure of Anfield still counted for something in the minds of the best players in the land.
Steven Gerrard, memorably, went further still. "Messi can do some amazing things, but anything he can do Joe can do as well, if not better," he claimed. But the Liverpool captain was not alone in prophesising success for Cole in the red of Liverpool."

Their fans are deluded idiots.

Get ready for this because its deep and profound....

I hate Liverpool because they are a bag of shite and they can't accept it.

Pow!

 

[TottenhamLegend]

just trawled thro' 7 pages on Holtby, some real crackers in there - but it seems there are a couple of sensible ones after all. I submit this post to prove my point:

Come on, get real.

Never mind if Rodgers 'wanted' him or her or whatever. We signed the England U21 captain for 16m. They signed the German U21 captain for free.

They are clearly much better managed than we are, and it shows in multiple ways.

They are way ahead of us in the league table, even though their overall wage bill is far lower than ours.

Our club has been managed by two opportunistic American clowns who almost ruined us. Then we got more responsible but utterly inexperienced owners, who gave Kenny more than enough rope to hang himself (and he certainly did). And now we have an inexperienced rookie manager who is way ... way out of his league. Our transfers keep being lousy... mostly over-hyped and over-priced English mediocrity. Spurs are miles ahead of us at the moment, a blind man could see that.

The funny thing is, he's been absolutely ripped for this on RAWK.

You obviously don't live near me mate! Deluded people who cannot get over their decline.

I'm not even trying to defend RAWK here on any other site if its kind but its clear to see that there are an element of these morons at ALL clubs not just Liverpool, I mean you ever read SC on a match day for example?

"Liverpool fans de.."

Liverpool fans death
Liverpool fans deluded

2nd result, nuff said.

I hate them!

This poster must be about 7 yrs old

Perhaps they can stick a 'swear jar' in the canteen and buy Eriksen with it in the summer too

Don't even have to do that, just go on glory glory any day of the week

I REALLY don't like Liverpool but I do feel that they are being massively underrated on here at the moment. They've had their rickets for sure but, from what I have seen of them, they are slowly getting there and, in time, will really be a force to be reckoned with.

Their last few games they have really put teams to the sword and have looked extremely comfortable doing it, and this with some decidedly average players on their books. It really wouldn't surprise me if they have a very strong 2nd half of the season and are there or thereabouts.

This is a concern because they still have drawing power with their name. I also feel that Sturridge will do well for them with the quantity of chances they create. If him and Suarez click then that really could be a wake up call for the EPL.

I'm hoping that I am being overly cautious here, but I can't shake the feeling that they are heading towards being a force once again.

Agree with most of this, with the old 'top 4' now well and truly buried over time I still feel they'll be one of the top 6 clubs in the country

 

[miles_64]

I'm just baffled as to why our fans would 'hate' Liverpool fans for being deluded. Maybe worth our laughter but not our hatred. I reserve my immense dislike for City and my hatred for Chelsea.

PS - agree with earlier poster; I think Liverpool might come back into the equation in the second half of the season. They have mixed abysmal results (Villa) with some strong wins of late and Sturridge is likely to be a decent addition. Exactly what they need.

"Forget Rodgers and what he says. Liverpool are by FAR a bigger club than Spurs, how on earth are you going to tell me he'd rather join Spurs than Liverpool ******* FC.

They went in for him tried to negotiate but failed to realise the players potential and played hard ball as usual and Spurs came in and showed bottle.

I understand Sigurdsson but you shouldn't allow a free transfer like this get away to a club like Spurs.

65k a week ?

Compare that to the 50k we're paying that out of shape fat *** smoking waste every week for the next 18months when he's not even here."

It is going to take many years before they admit that they are a mid table club now

This should be a reminder about the cyclical nature of football. When they were a top 4 team they could attract big names and we couldn't. Even if we were willing to match the wage demands, Liverpool would be a more enticing destination than Spurs 10 years ago. It wasn't a refection on either club or their fans, just logic. Now the tables have turned, it's still no reflection on the clubs but most players would rather join the team who are third in the premiership than the one who are in tenth. In a few years the tables might have turned again or maybe we'll all be wondering why the next big thing is joining West Ham

To some extent, but I don't think that's universal.

Liverpool have a glamour to them through their history, as do we through ours (and our more recent dynamism). The same type of thing can be said of others, Such as Man U, and the scum. All other things being equal, the most influential factor for a player with the choice will be league position.

But there are many teams that doesn't apply to - most of the rest of the EPL tbh. Even Citeh don't hold that cachet, they're just nouveau riche. There are only a handful of 'prestige' clubs, and we're one of them.

Clear symptoms of a man in his 20s with no perspective on the history of English football. He probably thinks City hold some sort of legend status rather than historically being mid-table mediocrity as well.

If any two teams are on a par in terms of glamour and history, it's Liverpool & us. Many similarities in terms of achievements and style. But they're shit now, and we're not.

If i'm being honest, I believe their trophy cabinet over the years is better off than ours.

This is a great post

He's quite right. They need to start acting responsibly. I can think of no better way than spending 12m on Sturridge but not getting the captain of Germany U21s for free
