Tony Evans having a go at our fans singing 'The reds have got no money' chant.

I like Tony, I have a lot of time for him.

But he's overthought that one.

Northface going out of fasion in liverpool ? didnt see many in that crowd yesterday

I thought that was jibbed years ago here once the rest of the country started wearing it.

Still going strong but not 'essential' like a few years back. Of course, it could have been an end full of wools 

[rob1966]

It's the times we live in, Rob.

When did this sudden forensic scrutiny of chants start? It's particularly galling when the chanting elephant in the room goes completely ignored.

Idiots all over the country can sing filth revelling in death, tragedy, grief, poverty, unemployment etc and nothing is said, written or done about it. Liverpool sing a harmless song highlighting the absurdity of the money in modern football and it warrants a piece in the press. What next? A broadsheet doing a piece on the historical accuracy of Poor Scouser Tommy?

The song is ironic. It points out that in the modern game, where entire countries plough billions into mediocre football clubs, a global giant like Liverpool is comparatively skint.

While we're at it, maybe all away fans at Brentford this evening should be frisked for axes. After all, ''we don't carry bottles, we don't carry lead, we only carry hatchets to.... '' 


It was similar with that banner around the time of Brexit that stated we liked being in Europe. Clearly a topical pun but with the focus on the European pedigree of LFC, yet a number of po-faced idiots in the media jumped on that too, suggesting politics should be kept out of sport.

If anyone in the media feels like doing their job properly and would like to highlight some seriously disgusting songs and chants, I can point them towards Old Trafford, Elland Road, Goodison Park and a host of other grounds. If they'd rather stick with Anfield, maybe get a ticket sat next to most away fanbases when they arrive up here. They'll find plenty of genuinely disturbing stuff to write about then. If they have the guts to, of course.

4 weeks until the "Always the victims, wall pushing/holding breathe" and associated shite gets an airing, then its few weeks until "Feed the scousers" gets aired for about a month.

I wouldn't put it past the Mancs to get a reference in to 97 now either.

[Shanklygates]

First time I have seen TVs IN the stand, (i.e. Upper seating part) but a whole row of them at both ends. Ideal for Corporate fans I guess

Quite a weird little ground - in the terms of the shape of it due to railway lines, roads and a river, but also the steps up to the seats, with the upper concourse separate by a metre or so of space behind the steps, so you had to go back down for the toilets or snacks.

Nice to see the Red Indians there in force, although I admit I probably wouldn't have recognised many without the cycling tops!

[monkeyharris]

I thought it was a good away
Nice to get a new  ground in and I give a thumbs up to the architects for managing to shoehorn it to the space they did as odd a shaped ground as I’ve ever seen. Design manages to keep crowd noise in though which is a bonus
Bit of a needless faff to get in with their ticket readers taking a good few seconds to register each ticket and the poor stewards who had to try to keep people calm as kick off was approaching. I bantered with the two doing my turnstile that they should quit the moment Brentford bring in phone tickets😬
Shame they can’t sell booze as the concourses seem like they can deal with it well. Loads of really nice boozers down by the river that weren’t massively busy and let you take a pint in a plastic pot to the river wall

[CHOPPER]

Bang average ground, but there you go, that’s the price of land in London, I guess.
Gone is the claim to fame of a boozer on each corner. Think it’s now an overly price dwelling on each corner.

Had a good natter with one of their lads after the match who firstly, made a statement that we were ‘noisy bastards’ which we were, even though considering it was a dads army away, obviously due to it being a new ground.

More poignant and more that mattered, the lad I spoke to was the best mate of Joseph Daniel McCarthy, who passed at Hillsborough. A tear shed and shared.

Fab and Jotta need a song, even Matip needs a song. come on you wordsmiths. The Curtis one was lame.
Having said all that, we don’t arf have some back catalogue of 4-5 verse songs 

[scouse neapolitan]

Here you go Chopper. Here's one.  This was made for Matip.

[Billy Elliot]

I'd like a few more simple ones. It sounds boss when all the kids are joining in with, "Oh, Andy, Andy". Need a good mix of straight forward, no messing, to go with the five verse songs.

Most of our best players used to have two songs. One that everyone could just burst into, one a bit more three nil up alreadyish.

[Billy Elliot]

I'd like a few more simple ones.

Reckon we'd get pulled on "sing a simple song, you simple c*nts" these days. It'd be all over the front page of the Echo.

simple twats was the line.

[kesey]

I reckon Fab .. Fab .. Fab .  Fab .. Fab ..  Fab .  Fab..  Fab to the the tune of match of the day and we all stick our thumbs up just to show how Fab he is. I reckon for Jota we should do it to the Jaws theme tune . For example everytime he gets the ball we could put one of our hands on our head to look like a sharks fin and speed up the song when he starts to run faster to goal or something .

I'm working on the Matip one .

[Fromola]

That will always be Phil Babb's song.

Looks like a nice day for everyone in Porto

I know people don't like using old songs, but the Coutinho one would be perfect for Fabinho.

[Scouser-Tommy]

I know people don't like using old songs, but the Coutinho one would be perfect for Fabinho.

Good shout that to be fair, no reason why not either it's only a basic song.

Wow !!! You've made my morning. Bursting my arse laughing at this. I love RAWK, sometimes.
So,
I'm gonna see your Jaws Jota and raise you ok.
What about using the old Batman theme tune ... You know, the classic,
Denna nenna nenna nenna nenna nenna nenna nenna  JOTA !!!! (
You're the best with the choreography so I'll leave that to you ....)

As for Matip, I have it ....

To the tune of Boney M - Daddy Cool

He's lanky and he rules
Jo-el, Daddy Cool

[RainbowFlick]

I know people don't like using old songs, but the Coutinho one would be perfect for Fabinho.

just a bit boring though isn't it

[jonnypb]

Sounded great tonight, especially in the second half, sounded loads better than Brentford!

[kavah]

Well in everyone that went  - what a lovely night 

[FlashingBlade]

After the first goal tonight get this going 🎶 Mo and Curtis Jones, they got a thing going on🎶...dont forget the dee-de dee-de dee-de bit after

[kesey]

That will always be Phil Babb's song.

And a boss way to hail a cab   

[scouse neapolitan]

Seemed noisy on the telly. Sounded like a good away day.  How many went?

[anitrella]

In full form today, came through well on the TV

[CHOPPER]

It was ok

[jackjones93]

Was loud at times - but definitely some very quiet periods I thought. We just need some new songs.

[Chip Evans]

Joel, Joel the kopites did say,
Best defence in Europe we have when you play,
Alongside our Virgil, we love you indeed,
With Trent and Robbo, all bossing the field

Joel, Joel, Joel, Joel
Born is the king of A-a-a Anfield


For Matip at Christmas. Someone improve the lyrics and get it done.

One of them away day films just up on Youtube to play spot yourself

My big ugly bonce front and centre after Mo's goal!

[meady1981]

No offence to anyone there, Im 40 myself, but watching that footage Im struck by the average age of the away end these days. Its got to be 35-50. That's not healthy.

[redgriffin73]

I know what you mean, however the two older ladies down the front singing away at one point are boss!

I have had that mentioned before🙂

[meady1981]

Why is it not healthy?

No regeneration of the hardcore away fanbase for the years to come?
The obvious lack of affordability and availability for young supporters?
Complete lack of pyro?

[Six Beardy]

Haha yeah - Pat Coombs and Margaret Rutherford belting out Fields Of Anfield Rd was the highlight of that video for me too. (https://youtu.be/J54vPZKZARQ?t=187)

Pat Woolmore isn’t it? Not Coombs.

[ImABeliever]

Off to OT tomorrow. Hopefully our away end's a lot livelier than it's been in recent years there.

It was def lively after we got No.6 with all the balloons etc. We weren't there last year but I'd be happy with a repeat.

Yeah pre-match it was fun, but during the game itself we were pretty average I thought. We've had some great away ends there in the past but from experience it's been a bit flat the last few times I've been.
