Was in Annie Road and I thought it took a while to get going. Seems we often need a couple of goals before the crowd get properly involved. Sunderland fans were a decent laugh with some good banter, although they did roll out some sad classics about Suarez and getting a job. Much better away crowd than Fulham the other week.
Was sat near the most annoying and cynical old bat in ages. Season ticket holder. Must have been about 65-70 and didn't stop whinging. Here are some classics.
After the brief Rodgers song (when 3-0 up).
"Well that died a death. Can't stand Rodgers. Hopefully he'll be off soon"
When Joe Allen came on.
"When it comes to the two Joes I actually prefer Joe Cole"
When Henderson went off to a standing ovation.
"I suppose he tried, but he was awful tonight. Never make it here."
And of course every time an attack broke down and we rebuilt from the back we got
"I hate this tippy tappy rubbish"
Thankfully there were a couple of peeps nearer who were trying to educate her, but she was the worst type of fan and probably been going for decades.
Anyway... that probably affected my appreciation of the atmosphere somewhat, but the crowd did seem a lot better once we went 2-0 up.
