The first footie club in Liverpool la. The People's club la. Proper Scouse la.
You're actually quite accurate there. They do base much of their arrogance on that kind of petty nonsense. I say nonsense because two of those claims are actually false. They stole the 'club for the People of Liverpool' shout from Bill Shankly. We also clearly have far more fans around Merseyside than they do too. They think just because most of their support is local that they are the Scouse club, but all that tells you is that their appeal is very limited and few outside of the area (and Wales) give a shit about them. Liverpool, on the other hand, are not only Scouse, but regional, national and global too. Few clubs attain such status because it has to be earned over a very long time.
Bitters see the fact we are in such a prestigious category as a negative, but we all know it's a major positive, and the likes of Barcelona, Madrid, Ajax, Milan, Bayern, juventus, United etc who also fall into o this category will no doubt agree. It's a standing in the game that Everton can only dream about having.
The only accurate claim in there is that they were formed first. They revel in that fact, but who, other than them, gives a flying fuck about that? It holds no relevance at all. All it says is that we gave them a fourteen year head start and they still trail miles behind us.
The 'peoples club' and 'scouse club' things are simply inaccurate claims in a one-way dick swinging contest only they care about. The kind of stuff you expect junior school kids to indulge in rather than a club of professionals and its fanbase. And make no mistake, their club really do indulge in this petty, childish and small-minded nonsense. That woman (their CEO I think) saying the City would be all theirs just because they have offices in the Liver Building was crass and embarrassing from them. Utterly pathetic, and if I were an old school blue I'd have had my head in my hands when she said that. Surely their ambitions are a bit higher than juvenile, petty local jibes at their world renowned neighbours. Jibes that make them look so utterly small-time too.
Blues, the world is a big place. It doesn't end at Spellow Lane or the Rice Lane roundabout. Get your heads out of your arses and see the bigger picture before life and modern football leave you so far behind that you'll be fucked forever.
On second thoughts. No, just carry on as you have been, because your eventual fate will be more than deserved. A dinosaur club for dinosaur fans stuck in a far bygone age.
