      John Aldridge: I’d have to Kop it against Chelsea

      May 1 2010 by David Randles, Liverpool Echo

      I’M not sure which way it will go against Chelsea on Sunday.

      As a Liverpool fan I never want us to lose. At the same time I’m sure none of us want to stand by and watch Manchester United overhaul our record number of league titles.

      I don’t believe we’ll get fourth place now anyway so I’m not sure the Chelsea result will have any real bearing for us. Does Rafa Benitez decide to give the likes of Dani Pacheco and the other young lads the chance to experience playing against Chelsea, or does he go for it and play his strongest side?

      All I know is that if I was out there and we got a penalty in the 89th minute to make it 1-1, there’s only one place it’s going. Right in the top corner – of the Kop!

      No way, I understand what he is trying to say, but if we have anymore heartbreaks this year my heart will actually break into pieces. Any big win is momentum for next season, if we concern ourselves with united winning their 19th title then we aren't focused on what is best for our club.

      I can just hear the pundits sucking it out of Ferguson's rectum: how great he is, how he broke records, how he surpassed Liverpool FC, how Man U is the most decorated blah blah blah

      Painful as it may sound...If Chelsea want to win, they're gonna have to bring it on.

      No offense to one of our legends, but thats just yet another trying to preserve what we have rather than look to the future. Fact is, we have let manure get 11 titles already without reply, one more won't change THAT much if you REALLY care about this club. If you truly believe in this club, then you will believe that we can overhaul manure if we need to in future years. And we will. YNWA.

      Sorry Aldo, no.

      Why would we play our ressies and co. against Chelsea? They'll be out to put these kids to the sword and no youngster needs that for their confidence.

      Go for the win. Maybe being behind in the league tally will spur some of our players to actually play for the shirt and win the record back.

      My thought exactly. Though if it can be avoided, i don't want manure to win the title - i don't want them not to win it expense to our pride as a club playing the Liverpool way.

      We have to stop living so much in the past. Yes, be proud of our history, always. Never forget it. But, don't try and LIVE on our history. Because we will never move forward as a club if we try to live off that, we need to acknowledge it but also look to the future. Im sick of this "preserve the 18" attitude. If you want to lose against a team lke Chelsea more than you care about the pride of the club, then check your shirt at the door cos we dont need you here.

      Since when did we have such a defeatist attitude?

      Since when were we so bitter?

      Said it already.
      We are damned if we do or damned if we dont.
      Ferguson will slag us either way.

      Wasnt it the scum who decided "not to play the FA Cup" to do a Far Eastern tour?
      Wasnt it Ferguson who blamed the Bayern players for getting his player sent off ...... yet his players intimidate referees every week?

      No. I agree with Aldo.
      Fight ugly. Fight dirty.

      Get our new owners in place and move on whilst leaving the scum in debt with the Glazers on a downward spiral.
      Send out Babel and Chelsea will keep the title warm for us.


      Dont give them the title on a plate FFS.

      I like what I have seen so far.  ;D

      The Kop will NOT lie down & let them have their title. They will have to win it tough & dirty if they want the title. Its not right to win it if we just lie down. I won't want us to win it this way as well.

      We'll go out to try & win this match & the next as well & come back for the title next season what ever happen to the title race & fourth place.

      I agree. Getting 4th place isnt impossible, we're just asking a lot from other teams but surely that is enough to persuade Rafa to play his best team and go for the 3 points.

      'IF' Chelsea beat us on Sunday i won't be down hearted, i just can't bear the idea of us helping the 'Mancs' to win the title, because you can bet your life that 'Whisky Nose' will be on the back of all the papers come monday morning thanking 'Liverpool' for giving them a helping hand, i'm afraid i agree with 'Aldo' we just can't help the 'Mancs' to win the title, because you can bet that bent nose won't let his players beat the 'Mancs', not if he want's Fergies job. What a dilemma.

      if we get a pen in the 89th minute maybe we should get Aldo down from his radio commentary to take it or just let Carra
      'aeroplane' it.

      I think it will have a more profound meaning to Aldo than us as just fans, Aldo's goals helped to secure them titles and create them records and he's a true Liverpool fan at heart also, can you imagine now as a fan as a player your goals had helped create history/records for the club, you wouldn't want to see them broken, so fair play to Aldo for saying it but I think his heart is over ruling his head on this one.

      If Man United beat are record of 18 titles I don't see why we can't do it back to them in the future..

      Aldridge is a legend and completely agree with him.

      Is that your reason for agreeing? Just because he's a legend? Not attacking, just curious.
