THE MAGNIFICENT ASTON VILLA 2-1 LIVERPOOL FA CUP SEMI FINAL POST MATCH THREAD

[peter w]

I never disliked Liverpool growing up. they were just better by far and ruled Europe. It took Man U getting the breaks with that youth team and the Sky money to try and achieve what Liverpool did. I've only started really disliking them since their fans became utter gobshites over the past 10-15 years or so.

Well according to a rather dodgy report on SSN this afternoon, Liverpool are the most supported club in England whilst Arsenal and Chelsea dominate the continent. It seems on Planet Sky, the number of Twitter followers is representative to the size of a clubs support not only across the UK and Europe but in North and South America!

I think hating Liverpool is something which is standard for those of us born late 60s, early 70s.

Them being the flukiest team on earth, as well as winning everything for years, those are memories that stick.

Not to mention the media love-in for them.

To my recollection it became full-on after the 1964/65 season.  They won the FA Cup that year and it was only one-way after that.  With the rise of the Beatles around the same time, everything that came out of Liverpool was the best ever seen according to the media when they quickly made Liverpool the centre of the universe.

Don't know why but liverpool have gone up a notch in my estimation since Sunday.

Wasnt my experience. Liverpool were my second team in the mid to late 70's. Keegan was probably something to do with it. I dont remember the media love in at the time but it wasnt 24 hour coverage in those days.

During that time, if a British club played in europe I supported them albeit there was little live footy to watch. Now I've changed, the biggest laugh I've had this season is seeing Paris beat chelsea. Golden

Got to say every single Liverpool supporter we encountered on the journey down and back and at the ground before and after were great, very magnaminous and gracious in defeat and quick to say howwe deserved the win as we by far the better team.

[leylandalbion]

Agree all but one knob head on a coach were very gracious. Even when the knob head put his finger at my 10 yr old, his mate said "give it him back laa". He did but 2 fingers and 1 :-).  A few I spoke too were genuinely please due to the young fan base we took.

You can say what else you like about them, but they weren't lucky. They were very good, and sometimes great.

They had a very good side in 76/77 and we stuffed them 5-1.  Still one of our greatest performances in my lifetime.

[silhillvilla]

I don't think its worth signing out the odd idiot. 99.99% of them were sound.

We had a good side in 1981-82 but it still didn't stop Notts County doing the double over us.

[paul_e]

For me the ain reason I dislike Liverpool is because all the glory hunters when I was growing up supported them before switching to Man U in the early 90s.

[Meanwood Villa]

Liverpool and Man U are two sides of the same gloryhunting wankers coin. I have been loving the "Liverpool in crisis" fallout since Sunday.

The difference was though, we didn't just beat them, we took them apart.  It was unheard of at the time for teams to do that to the Liverpool side in those days.

I like genuine Liverpool fans and have never met a bad scouser pool fan  however it's the brummie reds I hate whether pool or Manu.
