Yup.
Another from the Grauniad;
"When Chelsea became a successful club, I had to listen to some of them droning on (or so I thought) about how much they disliked Liverpool fans. I could never work it out. “Why Liverpool? Surely you hate us (Spurs), West Ham,Arsenal, Man Utd etc?” The response was unanimous, “yeah but you wait until you’re one of their rivals. You will never see a more hypocritical, entitled bunch” Of course I dismissed what he said. Why wouldn’t I bearing in mind the history between Spurs fans and Chelsea fans? But now I totally get it. Every game we play, we are deluged with comments from Liverpool fans - we’re cheats, we’re divers, we were lucky, our opponents are in the worst form they’ve ever been in. The list goes on.
So thank you Liverpool fans. In all my years of watching Spurs (nearly 50), we’ve played second fiddle to the great Liverpool sides. It’s so gratifying to realise that you genuinely fear us now. Enjoy your Sunday."
I work with a Chelsea fan who is very level headed and you can easily have a decent chat about football with him. He knows I hate Chelsea but he has nothing against tottenham, and the team he hates more than anyone is Liverpool, basically for the exact reasons you stated above.
I never hated Liverpool until I became an adult and really found out how much the media love them and how their fans are utter deluded, self entitled pricks, who always have a victim mentality. Funny how they never say anything about Heysal.
