Is there a collective chip on the Liverpool shoulder?

Seems like it but don't ask the fans on here, 99% of them aren't from there.

Steven Gerrard to gift Liverpool the Premier League though. Can you imagine the scenes? The headlines are already being written! Coutinho or Ings with a 94th minute strike, deflected off a City player to count as an OG, VAR review for offside which it clearly is but they rule it onside because, well, it's VAR. A man can dream.

Surely Gerrard comes off the bench to score the winner, finally winning the league for Liverpool?

Must admit as an LFC man and boy and a north west chap, I loathe both the boo'ing and then the excuses for it. All it does is reinforce the stereotype.
There is no need for it and its absolutely about damn time people got over themselves. Its bad enough that Burnham swans about giving it the professional Woe-Are-Us-Lancastrian crap without Liverpool fans trying to outdo him.

We're bigger and better than that.

Exactly. Liverpool are a great club from a fantastic city. You really don’t need all that c***p.

I speak as a West Ham fan and yes also have our share of brain dead fans.

I just go back to what I said before - there's been a few incidents recently that have fuelled this and nothing was said.

There is so much sub-optimal behaviour at every football match that I can't get my knickers in a twist over this.

Establishment not kind to your city? Please explain how Liverpool has been disadvantaged compared to other cities.

Managed Decline.

Mrs. BC and I went to Liverpool for a short break last summer. We had a great time and the city looks a LOT better & than when I was last there some years ago.

Good but that doesn't change history.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-merseyside-16...

That’s over 40 years ago. There’s been a lot of investment and rejuvenation in Liverpool since then.

40 years ago? So it should be forgotten about? Hillsborough was in the 80's too. You think that's going to be forgotten about?

You didn't think Liverpool had ever been treated badly or differently by the establishment.

I showed you it had.

You spending a weekend there doesn't change that. Glad you had a nice time though.

But as I said earlier, don't ever rely on a football crowd to do the right thing.

Nobody said anything about forgetting Hillsborough. Thankfully the truth prevailed in the end.

You showed me a 40 year old news article which has turned out to be wrong. As I see it Liverpool has been treated very well indeed, better than most other cities.

As I said Liverpool seems to be carrying a big collective chip on it’s shoulder. Your posts reiterate that.

Yidwann said:

You have to admit booing a choir with Sickle Cell Disease on probably one of the biggest day of their lives is pretty shameful though?

Is that right? Disgusting if so.

Much like booing at other countries National Anthems, which England fans do and pretty odds on that's fans from all different clubs, a few behaviours are not reflective of all fans.

Absolutely not the point, I'm not talking about booing the anthem.

I'm talking about booing a group of seriously ill people that, like Yidwann has said, were probably enjoying the biggest day of their lives representing their families, their communities and raising awareness of their life threatening illness.

They didn't have to boo them. Just don't sing the national anthem. Poor form.

...but then every club has it’s share of A. R. Soles.

Never ever EVER mistake football supporters for being representative of the general public. Too many are arm swinging, beer fuelled apes, especially when they get together .

I don't think anyone on here would defend anyone booing people with a chronic (ie long term) health condition. They probably had no idea. That doesn't excuse the booing. But anyone ignorant enough to blindly join in with booing is probably too ignorant to have taken notice they were people with a health condition.

I was waiting for a comment such a your last paragraph. You didn't disappoint.

The article is not wrong. You just know nothing about the City, but think you do because you spent a weekend there.

Oh and the article is 11 years old. You can't even get that right so do you expect us to heed anything else you spout?

I shall not respond to you further.

No question. The strength of the opposition, length of season and number of games sees to that.

Southampton aren't just going to roll over. And I can't imagine City not smashing Villa regardless.

Southampton aren't but Villa will? Both will be tough games and if City win the league, it will be because they've earnt it (football sense, not financial).

[CalNaughtonJnr]

If memory serves, Southampton got hammered 9-0 in 2020 and 2021 - what are the odds of it happening in 2022?

I didn't say Villa would?

Talking to a mate about Trent winning all the trophies he can and only being 23.

Mate said,he's not won the Europa or the Europa conference.

I said he doesn't want to play for Spurs or Utd so he won't get much chance.
