Some good points in there.

 

Supporting Liverpool instead of Everton will change your life for the better, that's for sure.

 

We're bigger and better. Not the club, the people. They base everything on being downtrodden, it affects their personalities.

 

We're happy when we're winning. To an extreme level. It is religious. If the other clubs don't have the same experience then I'm not sure what they're in it for. It is quite interesting that United still don't seem to know what to do with the fact that they are huge and great.

I could go on about how they have created a god out of Shankly. Someone who is often quoted, even though he didn’t really ever say that much which is particularly illuminating or original. I could also mention the self-pity (another religious characteristic) and their desire to always be a part of every tragedy.

 

What a little turd.

They're obsessed with us and have no idea that we don't care about them. If you ask their fans who they hate the most, we'd win.

On that CFCnet whenever we play them they refer to it as our cup final! how sad is that.

Why take any club serious, who was born out a corrupt Russian wishing to secure an life insurance policy, and give him an opputunity to wash some money out of his country, and whose rivals are Fulham?

I liked it when we where told that having the first set of floodlights was bigtime. Still, at least it made them the fourth biggest club in London

He is right and wrong.

 

There are some clubs around that have moments that bestow on them a religiousy spiritial significance. Very few have loads though. It's doubtful that any have seen as many treasures as us.

We're their Mancs. The team from outside their circle they hate.

It's all from 2005 and considering when their "fans" jumped on board it's a rivalry they want to manipulate.

As a club they're f***ing crap, no self realisation.

That 'no history' chant winds them up big time.

 

It really does :)

 

Had a bloke i used to work with, who was a chelsea ST holder. Whenever the 'no history' thing came up, he got more and more enraged, during conversations in which he'd insist that it didnt bother him. Pretty amusing.

i believe it was a no history comment that got that s*** head chelsea fan fox soccer pundit to go off on one of his anti liverpool rant which eventually got him fired from fox first then lost his radio show.i personally love the "where's your famous plastic flag" chant.

I have a rule of thumb that any article, comment or statement that uses the phrase 'self pity' to refer to us - club or city - has proven itself ineligible for rational consideration. Like invoking 'Political Correctness', 'Patriotism' or 'The Bible', it is the last refuge of the scoundrel without a real case to argue.

Very very true that. Their identity as a club doesn't seem to extend beyond a conviction that they must remain the Coca Cola of football. The consummate brand. When I was a kid, and they were sh*t, they did seem to stand for more. They seemed rooted in the heroism of the club's comeback from the Munich air disaster. If I'm being bitter, they almost seemed to 'dine out on it'. It was, and remains, a great back story.

 

As time as passed though, they seem to have little left but the fading memories of those ghosts (from Duncan Edwards to Georgie Best). They don't seem to have other great stories to tell. Just money and power, and the trophies that those things bring.
