Have you ever been to a game? They hate each other, what did you think they would do, blow kisses at each other?

Exactly. Passion in football is great, banter between fans is great but there is no need for hatred and that sort of vitriol. I think Frankie is playing keyboard hardman.

Yeah you're not a proper fan unless you go the game, mock football tragedies and treat each other with utter contempt. The Old Firm are an inspiration to us all.

The people going on away days to Liverpool are mostly your hardcore, not the docile day trippers waiting to be entertained while eating a prawn sandwich. They are creating more of an atmosphere than people in their living room tutting.
Sloth's opinion isn't less valid if he doesn't go the game, ignoring the fact that you're just assuming he doesn't. Match-goers don't appreciate it either. There's a difference between enjoying a rivalry and just being scum. I don't need to be a season ticket holder to tell you that. |

That doesn't make them more of a fan than someone who doesn't go. I live near Anfield but it's hard to get tickets, availability, cost and the difficulty of getting a ticket if you haven't been to a certain number of games makes it difficult.

Sounded like Firmino had a decent game, which is a bit of a surprise considering he was written off as a giant flop here by August. That made me feel blue.

You can pretend your living room is just the same as being there if you like, but it isn't. If you gave these armchair fans a free ticket I suspect they still wouldn't go, or would go and sit on their hands waiting to be entertained. People that pony up the dough and put aside the time to go there and create atmosphere and noise and colour and back their team have my respect. Those that bump and moan about it in their living room don't.

Klopp gives the impression he is good at encouraging creative players, the complete opposite of Van Gaal currently who seems to suck the life out of them.

While Liverpool have been woefully inconsistent they have a real chance to finish the season strongly. Bar Tottenham at home (and that's a winnable one imo) and the Everton game in hand, they have no "big" team left to play at all. Stoke and Southampton are the height of it, and if they can play like last night they shouldn't have problems in either of those. It's mostly bottom half teams
Huge chance to finish 5th (I'd be amazed if the top 4 doesn't finish like it is), which psychologically would do them good heading into next year. Heck if City or Arsenal do somehow fall away Pool should be the best placed team to take advantage given the run in The Summer will be huge for them though. Looking forward to seeing Klopp being given a chance to build a team. they have a lot of mediocre players now, but a few big signings and why shouldn't they challenge for the league? Hard to see Spurs or leicester having the same hunger levels, United are a mess, Arsenal will never do it under Wenger, while it could well be all eggs in the Europe basket for City again. Chelsea could well be in another rebuilding phase when they ship out some of the prima donnas |

You go in the away end at Anfield and get all your fans to sit down and be quiet. Let us all know what hospital ward you wake up on.
The idea that football fans cannot make an atmosphere without singing hateful songs absurd. |

Big difference between asking people to be quiet and asking them not to sing vile putrid songs.

Do you even go to games? If you do then ask them to be quiet, see where it gets you. Armchair fans turning up the TV volume to be the most offended of them all is tiring.
Who is telling anyone to be quiet? People just don't want to hear bile. Sounds like it you are quite happy with anything goes. Bigotry, racism, mocking the dead etc etc. Who cares what people say and what offence it causes its just what football fans do? Maybe in your little world. |

Way to go in missing the point.

As soon as armchair fans say 'don't do this it offends me' the opposition will do it. |

I've had a season ticket for several years and people are encouraged to speak up against certain kinds of filth. People chanting in support of Marlon King's conviction for instance were shouted down without anyone being punched, I'd be quite surprised if the corporate Premier League still has much of a snarling animalistic edge to it in that regard.

I've been to plenty of games, both in the U.K and on the continent. I've never once been punched in the mouth. Never been to a Scottish game though, maybe you do different things up there?

Yeah of course everyone on the internet goes into stadiums telling hundreds of angry men to sit down and shut up with no consequences. Then they speed back to their mansion in their Ferrari to shag their model girlfriend.
