If we can recreate just 25% of the atmosphere in the European Cup semis for every home league game this season, does anyone think it will not positively effect our results? And if it can, if it just worth one point, is it not worht it?  Imagine how bad we would all feel if we lost the league on goal difference having failed to create an atmosphere for a load of dull nil nils against ordinary sides.

Stoke was hopefully a wake up for the players.

That should equally apply to the fans. How much do we want it?

I'd really love to see the Kop bring back some old school chants.

Ones like "Every Other Saturday" ... and some classic Mersey beat tracks (Beates etc).

I don't want to see another season where, after an excellent start, the crowd sit there in virtual silence at a game like this thinking "Well go on then, fuck it up like yer normally do" and it becomes a self-fulfilling prophesy. Get behind them every game and believe, shout from the rooftops. I don't care if we could end up with egg on our faces. As Adam Ant said "ridicule is nothing to be scared of". OK, he ended up getting sectioned after someone took the piss out of his hat, but that's not the point.

What a brilliant post that is.

I'm 33 now, and throughout my entire life, we have been the most succesful club in English football. Like a lot of us, i stood on the Kop when we lifted number 18 in 1990 and if you would've told me then that we wouldn't win it again for nearly twenty years, I'd have told you to get a grip.

As much as we all hate Sky and their post modernistic, post 1992, myopic view of English football, to their credit they often refer to us as the most succesful club in English football, especially when we come to play United. If United win the league, that's it, that tag will go, and I for one will be devastated.

For my 33 years, that sense of pride of being THE best club in England has been an integral part of my life and, at the risk of sounding dramatic, if the mantel goes, it would be like the loss of a close friend or relative.

In any walk of life, you should never ever lose a part of your identity, or compromise on who you are or what you believe in. If they win it, part of that bond we all have, that little something that unites us all wherever we are, will be lost, maybe not forever, but one day of that is too much. WE ARE LIVERPOOL FOOTBALL CLUB, THE PEERLESS CLUB, CONTINUE THE FIGHT, starting against Pompey.

I can't stop giggling at that for some reason. Probably still full of happy hormones from Sunday.

Thats why its EVERYONE's duty to tell the others at the match. Dont let ANYONE sit silent. Really wish I could be there with the lads and to sing until my lungs burst. EVERYONE must sing, must chant, must cheer, must bounce. Lets batter the opposition into submission every week!

As good a post as it is, and it gets the blood boiling, if you need to be told this or need this to get you up for a game then you need to take a long hard look at yourself. Sadly that's a fair proportion of the ground.

To be fair here, the atmosphere was good against the scum and good against wigan when we got it to 2-2 and then at 3-2 ud have thought we'd won the league.  It shows the prem crowd CAN make some noise.  Im not affraid to say, I go to CL matches firstly to support my team but also because i love a good atmosphere and a good old singalong in the kop.  prem matches my seasie is about 5 rows above directors box and its dead silence.  Probably why i go to euro matches so i get a chance to sing.  People say i should move to the kop but i love where i sit for league games, but i wish everyone was like me and the fella i sit next to.  Every match were to to calm down.

 suppose the point im making is the prem crowd has shown a couple of times this season they can make some noise.  Mid-week league games are usually a drap affiar so here's to a noisey mid-week match and a nice 3-0 win for the reds.

If this notice can't be put on the seats, how about those who are going print off say 200 copies each.  Where ever you are before the match hand them out.  If it costs you a fiver or more to have them printed its only a couple of drinks and a cold hot dog!! Well worth it if the twelfth man can make a difference.  Start spreading the word.
