Yeh, second that.

Best fans in the world. Thierry Henry said that about us today. He said it is more intimidating playing at Anfield than at Man U purely because of our fans.

That Henry quote is a good one.:D
Quote from: Dion Fanning

The chants for Kenny Dalglish that were heard again on Wednesday do not necessarily mean that the fans see him as the saviour. This is not Newcastle, longing for the return of Kevin Keegan. Simply, Dalglish represents everything Hodgson is not and, in fairness, everything Hodgson could or would not hope to be.

Our support is overrated according to Spurs fans that I'm friends with ::). Although Anfield was quite when they came around they seem to think its like that every game.

We will go and own them in the last game of the season :scarf

For every passionate night at Anfield there's 2 or 3 dire daytime league displays where half the crowd can't be arsed getting behind the team.

For every passionate Red giving up their free time to further the causes of HJC, SOS, RTK, Michael Shields, Ray Kennedy, Bob Paisley etc. there's a dozen more concerned about getting out of the ground in time for Doctor Who.

For every banner making red, devoting their weekends to preparing a knock out banner there's a dozen reds whose sole contribution to a match atmosphere is telling Riise to fuck off and shouting 'you're not singing' at opposition fans who have outsang them for the entire point up to a Liverpool goal.

Now bearing all that in mind some of the self congratulatory, 'best fans in the world' bollocks doesn't just get up the noses of our rivals, it turns many Reds cold as well.

It's not all bad because the first set of supporters in the examples above are truly brilliant and their efforts go a long way to ensuring we can hold our heads up high. But if we don't remember the second, larger set, if we buy into the 'we're all soo brilliant' nonsense peddled by some then we'll be living in fantasy land. In which case I'd rather be in a threesome with Jessica Alba and Monica Belluci than moderating this board. So although I understand and appreciate the thought behind the topic I'm going to lock it all the same.
Well, I don't know what it is, but there's definitely something going on upstairs

Armin's alternative take on our alleged great supporter's mantle
« Reply #21 on: April 29, 2008, 10:49:52 am »
Armin's interpretation is in the thread by Honeypot bestowing bouquets upon how great we are.

He [Armin] says it better than I ever could. But I'm going to take advantage of his interjection to further a truly decent and honourable cause which has all but been ignored by most on this message board.

I refer to the thread about Billy Liddell in which one poster is attempting to have a statue erected for Billy - Sir William Beveridge Liddell that is - in Billy's hometown of Dunfermline.


Now don't tell me that any self-respecting Red is unaware of just how pivotal Billy Liddell was to the LFC we know today.

The term "pivotal" scarcely begins to do justice to the man.

And yet a thread requesting one pathetic measly signature on a heartwarming petition from every fan reading these godforsaken message boards so as to procure a fitting edifice for our greatest ever footballer in his hometown is effectively cold-shouldered by 99% of so-called reds reading these boards.

A fuckin disgrace. And yet all so fuckin typical. And boy does it demonstrate Armin's point to a tee.

That self-praise is indeed no praise whatsoever.

Self-evidently, in this instance.

The fact is for all the warmth, wit, invention and ingenuity of every truly heartfelt Red there is that worthless sterile easy peasy bandwagoning of so many more to whom our peerless mantle has been passed on a fuckin huge dinner plate. Accompanied by huge fuckin tablespoons with which to serve up their self serving horseshit.

Great fans or glory hunting c*nts. I know what my money would go on.

 ;D

If I'm honest, most threads with please sign petition, at least gets me into the thread to see what it's about.

Contrast that, the day before a CL semi final with a thread titled  Sir William Beveridge Liddell, I won't read it.

As it happens I'd read your post prior to Armin's comments and had really wallowed in your nice comments about us fantazidoby Reds. Then armin's counter argument brought me down to earth with a bump. And I thought aye aye - chance to get some more signatures for our greatest ever footballer.
