You're daft.

[Red Beret]

Half and half scarves.

... just... why?

You're daft.

i sure am, innit

where have you seen these ?

[12C]

what do you mean by "little englander psyche"? i don't understand the term.

Isn't the crass stereotype that Scousers are dodgy and comical something that is more widespread?

I'm thinking it were that monkey Harry Enfield that was partly/greatly responsible for that with his scouser/calm down routine in the 80s.. made it into every lounge in the country..

It was long before that.
As someone who was on his bike looking for work in the late 70s I invariably got the full scouser= thieves routines.
The only place I didn’t get it was when working in Scotland. All I got up there was how great the city was and how they had enjoyed coming here to beat the Welsh. A common love of Kenny and the boys helped of course.
I was in working men’s digs in Scotland when the riots kicked off. I came in to the TV lounge as the news at 9 started, and realised it was Upper Parliament Street with added Molotov cocktails.
No one had a go, no one called us hooligans, the people there from Scotland were more concerned that my folks at home were safe.
Yet coming back to work in the North West, the English all started the thieving scouser jibes.
Harry Enfield didn’t help but he didn’t start it.

[Caligula?]

After the market had started to shift towards us as favourites, in the last 24hrs its moved back towards City.  Tells me we might see a surprise in the lineup.

And how would anyone know that? Ironically I think its because City have gone 4th and the bookies/markets think they'll be he'll-bent on not only closing the gap with us but also going back into 2nd so they have them as favorites.

I'd agree with that, I felt it during the early 70s.

Living outside of the city all we heard about was the dockers strikes and/or fords and that scousers were lazy, workshy doleys.

It was what drew me to the Club and the City, how amazing it was that everyone stuck together and refused to be walked over.

Shankly helped obviously but to me the football was also a big fuck you to the rest of the so called "big clubs".

If you are going today, pack in the Booing shite. Just sing our name, fuck them, whilst they are a class act, booing is such a cheap shitty thing that for me, other clubs do and one not too far away either.

SING, don't boo.

[Zoomers]

We need to take advantage of this, get stuck in and get the win, doesn't matter how we do it.

These bastards still have a lot of tough games that we've already got past in the 1st half, Leicester, Chelsea, United and Arsenal.

[1892tillforever]

I'm surprised that the cheats are favourites for this game. I work for a group that does detailed analytics and they say we have a 46% chance of winning, compared to 27% for the cheats.

Could also be a case of people making moves because they think the Abu Dhabi PR crowd is overpriced.

Are you talking about City there?

[harleydanger]

Im fucking excited to see an angry Sadio running at their joke of a cb pairing.

[harleydanger]

I’m excited to see Virgil disdainingly outpacing Stirling to a long ball after there should’ve been an offside flag

[harleydanger]

I’m excited to see Gini stick his arse out to three different City midfielders protecting the ball before threading it through to Bobby, who does some ridiculous pass that then becomes known as the ‘Firmino’

[harleydanger]

I’m Excited to see Robertson running on to a 70yarder with off spin from Trent before delivering to Hendo at the back post

[JonnyCigarettes®]

I'm excited to see what sort of shape Klopp has whipped the hot dog sellers into.

[mikeb58]

Don't care how we do it, just win. Couldn't give a fuck what measures we sink to in order to achieve 3 points today, being the good guys gets you nowhere.

Come you mighty Reds, one massive game this, a 9 point cushion by mid Nov will be an incredible achievement.

Reckon the occasion will get to the cheats....3-0 to the European Champions!

[Red Beret]

where have you seen these ?

Saw a lad in one yesterday by John Lewis, maybe around 6pm. City/Liverpool.  I can only assume he wasn't local because I cant imagine a local wearing one.

We were clear favourites but people have piled their money on City so the odds have changed.

[Zlen]

Oh boy, oh boy, it's today.

Woke up with a shitty feeling of us definitely losing this. Paid it no mind.
Just my chickenshit brain shrivelling at the lofty notion of being nine points ahead of these.

But that won't change a thing out there today, because those boys will not consider any other result apart from being nine points ahead. They won't accept anything less, they won't settle, negotiate or make deals. They'll have no mercy and offer City nothing for free. I am uncertain of the result, but I'm quite certain that we are going out there with only one diamond-hard through - win. Oh boy, oh boy.. what a day to be alive.

Really!? The whole ground was booing against the likes of city, Roma and Barca in the CL when the opposing team had the ball. When Liverpool have the ball we sing. It all adds to the intimidating atmosphere and it works.

[sinnermichael]

Well I'm shocked.

[Trendisnotdestiny]

Getting after this lot is all I care about --- psychological, physical and tactical domination.  Have them limp home on an Int'l break knowing they have a tough set of fixtures, relevant injuries, and a large advantage to overcome. 

We must break them

[[new username under construction]]

Well I'm shocked.

https://twitter.com/SamLee/status/1193497522871963648

Not too bad even if they do play, won't be match fit

Agree with the singing not booing. Booing should be reserved for the ref. (or VAR) not the opposition.

As for City being a class act - they're not. They have some great players, but most of them lack class and are just a bunch of overpaid mercenaries that foul and cheat when things don't go their way. As a club they have no class whatsoever and are just a plastic billionaires plaything.

We have class. Klopp has class. but City? No way.
Let's put them in their place and show them what a real club with real fans is all about

[TepidT2O]

Well I'm shocked.

https://twitter.com/SamLee/status/1193497522871963648

I mean, who knew that they’d make a Lazarus style come back?


Everyone!

Agree, give them shit on every level, make it so they can't wait for the fuckin game to end!

[Tony19:6]

Well I'm shocked.

https://twitter.com/SamLee/status/1193497522871963648

Wouldn't be surprised to see Kompany start too.

[TepidT2O]

Wouldn't be surprised to see Kompany start too.

Denis Law is fighting for a starting position too

[So… Howard Philips]

Denis Law is fighting for a starting position too

They'll always find a place for Franny Lee, one of the pioneers of diving.

[Ocean Red]

Well I'm shocked.

https://twitter.com/SamLee/status/1193497522871963648

What a shock. Will Ederson be playing too?

[jillcwhomever]

Ederson will probably make a "shock" appearance too. Do they really think we're that gullible? 

[ABZ Rover]

Trautmann in the nets?

[Gray Hamster]

Saw a lad in one yesterday by John Lewis, maybe around 6pm. City/Liverpool.  I can only assume he wasn't local because I cant imagine a local wearing one.

was the lad being held at gunpoint by a fella wearing a sheikh outfit?

[Ocean Red]

With David Silva, he can't be 100% fit that quickly after a hamstring injury. Unless they totally bullshitted he was injured.

[12C]

I mean, who knew that they’d make a Lazarus style come back?
Jesus working overtime?

Everyone!

[12C]

Agree, give them shit on every level, make it so they can't wait for the fuckin game to end!

I used to love that feral snarl from the Kop at kick off

Used to sound like 25000 all snarling

“Comeongerrintothseseshitebastardsyoumightyredmen”

[jillcwhomever]

All mind games you know. Sort of thing Guardiola may try, just hoping that he over complicates his team selection this afternoon as well.

[Dave D]

Here we go, enjoy the game everyone.

Guardiola has a reputation for going against doctors orders and rushing players back who aren’t ready throughout his career. The fraud is getting desperate.

Give them fucking hell until we break them.
