Why the hell are Chelsea more popular than us....
Keep the conversion going!
I guess it's a recent success thing.
The world loves a winne and Africans are no different.
My people can t remember the last time Liverpool dominated the game.
For them, yes we won the CL in 2005 but crazy as it may seem they mark it down more as a fluke than as a win by design.
You have to look at it from their perspective- satelite television and fly on the wall coverage of football has been available in Africa for a lot less than ten years and in that time The Reds havn t exactly set the world alight. In short, we're not truly rated. (More fool them!)
But, and I consider this as important, that's one of the reasons why I believe any Liverpool fan base burns bright with passion.
Fans have faithfully stuck with LFC without cash "From Russia With Lust" and havn't had a zillion premiership wins to help stoke the embers of popularity for the club.
We have simply quitely (Anfield nights dont count!) gone about our business of playing football, improving where we could and though we all would have expected more (than a UEFA Cup, CL Trophy, Super Cup, a host of domestic gleamers etc..etc..) as we are all rightly greedy that way, overall we havnt done too badly! But do 'they' rate that? I guess not!
Sadly the flash brigade have amassed such a following it would seem only if we won the Mars vs. Earth Club Championships could we even start to sway the unbelievers our way. Bring home No.19 and who knows, respect might just follow...
But even now I can hear some of them say they would turn Blue waiting for that to happen.
As I said, MORE FOOL THEM!!!
