What LFC means to us all

Gents and ladies, I know we have been through a lot together, the highs and lows, the successes and the failures. We have fought off many wums and we have successfully managed to construct arguments that defy laws of supportership But I just wanted to remind us all of a bit of positivity that makes LFC so special to us. Despite the debates and the arguments, it all proves how passionate we are about one football team that, to me, represents something that is so human to us. Our beloved club has so much humility, grace, intelligence and a sense of profound belonging, that I feel its time to celebrate being a part of a family that gives us so much fulfilment. For that, I thank you guys for being a part of this journey with me. And its nothing to do with the 5 pints and 3 whiskies I consumed. Our team needs us more when the times are tough. YNWA.

Drunk posts are the best!!!

We all have had Christmas cheer spread upon us and receiving a liberal sprinklings of warnings 

Oh my head...did I write this? It's quite sweet really.

I am getting a bit closer to buying a boat this year. I want to know, what boat dealers around are best?

I was going to suggest you have a word with the L.F,C, transfer committee but on second thoughts you had better not. They would probably advise you to buy the Titanic.

Now now Billy - surely we'd get 2 Lusitania rather than 1 Titanic?

Gotta think of the resale........

If it was left to our transfer committee they would probably finish up buying us a run down cargo boat instead of a liner the manager requested.

Not being afraid to be a scouser. Not being afraid to say you did witness the Great Bill Shankly parade the league trophy around Anfield.
Not being afraid to say that we are a million miles off where we should be .
Not being afraid to say that Rafa Benitez should still be the manager of this club

Not being afraid to tell a scouser that he's talking out of his @rse when he questions other peoples support based on where they live/where they're from. It's a complete bollocks argument and betrays the fact that he's getting into difficulty.

Do you not realise the Club is called Liverpool Football club the clue is in the name .

Wirral FC.

Ah the OOTer arguments? I've done this argument a few times. This is the one where I open up by asking you if you believe only people who live in Liverpool should be allowed to support the club. You'll wriggle around on that one for a bit, probably drawing in some boundary off the top of your head taking in Birkenhead to one side and St H on the other. I then put it to you that you're saying people from Ireland wouldn't be allowed to support the club, then you change tack completely and say EVERYONE can support, as long as they understand the scouser is king. I then ask you about the players and the management and whether the boundary extends to them, leaving you to wallow around spinning some bollocks about no it's different then because we pay them and as employees they're blah blah blah.

The long and the short of it you'll talk a whole heap of bollocks and I'll waste an hour of my life that I'll never get back. In the morning JD will erase it all, because nobody wants to read your bollocks, and nobody will ever be better off for it.

So I'll circumvent all of that by answering your question thus: No I didn't realise the club is called Liverpool football club, thanks for keeping me informed.

is that it really. I know who I am and I know where I come from you will never get the better of me when you post sh*te like that.Try again

at ;east you have learned something and yes Anfield could be filled every week by people who actually live here and to think otherwise just shows your ignorance

I enjoy watching us play. Feel a little deflated this season. I suppose this is what differentiates the die hard fans from the more casual fans.

More import things in life nonetheless.

I think you must have a bug in your computer or something Walton. You've quoted my post and then said this? I thought the whole point of quoting a post was to demonstrate that this was the one you were arguing with, or if you bold it up this particular bit is the bit you are arguing with. I've never said in my post or anywhere else that Anfield couldn't be filled by people who live within whatever radius of the ground. Where do you get this nonsense from? This is why I try and avoid these arguments, it just descends into complete bollocks.

You never hear Bill Shankly's quote?

you like to use the term bollocks but do you ever read your own posts

This is how you do bold. You do these two [] with a b in the middle before the words you want to pick out. Then you do the same two [] with a /b in the middle at the end of the words you want to pick out (I never knew that meself for years until my 12 year old taught me). Now go back to my post, and bold out the bit where I've said people from Liverpool can't fill the ground.

When you've re-read and realised you've made a mistake I won't sweat on an apology, but I will give you a tip. I talk plenty of utter sh!t where I DO actually talk bollocks, without you having to invent stuff for me. Just pick on that, at least we can debate it then.

I have said  I post bollocks plenty of times mate sometimes when I look back at my posts I could swear at times someone else had control of my computer.
I don't really want to upset any red but I guess what is real is our frustration that after last years beautiful season we have gone back so far having spent so much money,
after 50 years of seeing real footballers and real managers I know what I see and this is a poor team managed by a manager who has overseen a spend which the like of Rafa or Houlier could have only dreamed about.
now if we stuff UTD 4=0 on Sunday I doubt many of us will be looking to highlight our faults I guess we are fickle after all

I can post more bollocks than both of you put together .   



I'm getting me head down.

Can't see it myself mate (us winning at all never mind 4-0) but like the silly bollocks that we all are, by Sunday morning I'll have convinced meself that we are going to batter the c***s. Anyways not 1% hard feelings from my side, good debate but I gotta go to bed I'm working all hours tomorrow.

Despite differences I know come Sunday we all will be desperate for a win against a team we all loathe

Yes, I noticed. I noticed it doesnt say Liverpool ONLY Football Club. How do you explain the MASSIVE turn out of Liverpool Supporters when they play in the U.S. They sell out 50 and 60,000 seat stadiums for friendlies in NY and Boston.
If anything I envy you for being able to go to Anfield.  But I have put in thousands of hours watching matches on shitty streams online waiting for buffering and signal drops.
I love this club and will ALWAYS support Liverpool FC. I have sat in a toilet at work and watched a match. I watched a match at a wedding where i was the best man and  delayed my speech for 20 minutes. Thats borderline sociopath behavior. Please dont question my support.

i would love to visit anfield one day and watch a couple of games

Aw, where are you living Pear?

Btw I personally scrawled LFC in my text books in school, grew up with everyone of my aunties and uncles a Liverpool supporter, 13 of them, (one uncle in law and his daughter are blue but that's ok.)
All I heard about was greatness and glory, I grew up in Liverpool and never showed major interest when I was a kid & teenager (never watched every single match), I was more into music but I still loved the club even if I never kept up to date in every miniscule happening of the moment, now info is easy to access, free of charge, everyone wants instant news because of the gift of high speed internet.
Tough times now, because it's so polar opposite of the season before.
One thing I'll say is I don't like people saying just because you aren't from Liverpool you can't be 100% affected by every nuance and feel it in your heart just the same as if they were your local team.
But I have noticed, some people on here that aren't from this neck of the woods, take the piss and only chip in when they can belittle everything we stand for.
That may seem like a contradiction in terms, I'm not sure.
I don't mind fans criticizing because that's what we all do to different degrees, but, sometimes on here the venom crosses the line and is totally un-Liverpool like. Also it seems to be relentless.

Looks like the Scouse supremacist are out in force. Nice going, lads!

Please elaborate on this. It's all in good jest I know. No ones excluded in the Liverpool fan base so... what do you mean?

Well not too far,serbia, former yugoslavia

Maybe you aren't reading well, I don't see anything in jest about some of the posts in here and it's been made very clear that if you don't live within a shout of Anfield you can't possibly "get" the club or be a "real" supporter. Quite silly really but nothing new if you've spent much time on here.

Amazing, well you can watch a game at Anfield at some pont my mate, see how it goes.

Don't fret, that's not how I think, and I've been upset at that attitude here, but rise above and everyone is 100% Liverpool supporter.
My point may have been lost but whatever.

Slightly off topic but some of the frustrations of the last five years or so have hit home and made me wonder what it would be like to support a perennially underachieving club.  If we lose or even draw a match it totally ruins my day.  If we go on a series of poor results it puts me in a completely different mood.  And yet, all things being relative, we're still really well off.  I met a Wolves supporter a couple of weeks ago.  I mean can you imagine?  fighting off relegation year after year, then getting relegated from the Premiership, THEN getting relegated from the Championship... I couldn't crack a smile for nearly a week after the game against Chelsea last season---and we still qualified for CL etc.  Relatively speaking we have it easy.  If you are, say, a Wolves supporter though, you have to deal with disappointment literally week in and week out.  It can't be fun.

Differing expectations, once you've attained greatness its expected.

But yes, I think sometimes it's good for folks to remember how lucky we are to support this club even in the down years.

What LFC means to us all? Well, to me LFC simply means it's part of my family, it can't talk, it can't walk but it certainly affects my mood if we're not playing well.

I think it's fair to say that the likes of Wolves have a higher percentage of die-hard fans than us. I wonder how many million fans we would lose  if we were relegated?  That would separate the wheat from the chaff.

Just might do.

But think about it, really---can you imagine being a Wolves supporter?  losing again and again and again.  Can you imagine going months without a win, realizing your club is going to get relegated? 

I don't see how that couldn't affect a person.  We've all seen the videos of people around the world crying when we lost against Chelsea etc.  or bawling their eyes out when we drew against Palace.  If we accept that Wolves supporters care just as much about their club as we do about ours then can you imagine going through lows like that on a regular basis?

kind of depressing to think about.

I suppose to not qualifying for the Champions League is our equivalent to them being relegated!
Maybe we should all moaning a little less about our current predicament, and be thankful we support Liverpool and not some lower league team struggling to survive.
