Liverpool + Help - 1 Villa - 1 Post Match Thread

[Bad English]

Apart from the fact that everyone has to listen to that dirge for no real reason.

It’s now a thing to sing the National Anthem to wind up 'The Mighty Reds YNWA', don’t see a problem with it if it works.

Agreed. Also, football fans signing football songs. The horror.

I thought the Liverpool fans were spot on with their treatment of the anthem but I accept that might not be everyone's opinion so fair enough I guess. Although I won't be joining in.

Although I really enjoyed the away day, I hate the borish 'sign on' song at Liverpool. How moronic and small time are some of our followers. I even heard some pro Thatcher songs from those not alive when she was PM.

I found the Liverpool slums song really embarrassing as we were queing to go into the ground, mainly lads in their twenties and thirties I thought, but really cringeworthy, makes us look like a bunch of reactionary right wing morons.

As unpalatable as it is, some of our supporters are just that.  Put a load of people together and you get a cross section of society. 

I was embarrassed by our fans while queuing up outside. Singing the national anthem, always the victims, sign on. Right bunch of twats. Then, in the ground, loads of blokes trying to get into rows further down instead of going to their own seats. I asked the bloke trying to stand in my spot where his seat was and thought he was going to lamp me. Not a pleasant experience really.

Yes, I have enjoyed going away this season but I've started to look for seats where I can minimise  the prospect of nutters around me. Apart from the predictable younger set, it's embarrassing how some of the over 50s behave as well.

Maybe the bed to end the away games closed shop.

I found the singing of the anthem similar to the way England sing it at the Aussies at the cricket, although the Aussies are not in the same universe of sanctimonious pomposity that the Kopites are, so its probably less impactful.

Felt the first half was a superb display. Totally controlled affairs and it bodes well for next season. Pity we couldn't keep up that level of control second half and also a shame about the injury disruption. If Moreno stays on, they probably don't equalise.

For all their whinging, they wasted the entire first half and most of the 2nd by being bang average and failing to lay a glove on us. They didn't look like scoring so a shame to concede as we did.

Europe is in our hands. Let's go and smash Brighton and put that annual leave to good use come August.

It's all the other baggage with it that's the problem.

Completely missed the game. So what happened to get 11 mins added time?

Out of nowhere there's a directive suddenly to go back to World cup injury time with just two games left so every single stoppage is getting counted.

From yesterday's second half Digne went down with an injury, then Moreno came on, cleared for a corner and went down himself before going off and we then had someone down in last 10 minutes as Emi did his usual of collecting the ball and throwing it straight out for throw in. He also got the inevitable booking for delaying his goal kick.

So that probably adds up to 4-5 minutes before adding up the subs.

What is very frustrating though is you see Everton get 9 minutes at Molineux when there were no goals in the second half and only 4-5 subs. We got three there a few weeks ago despite Ramsey being treated for a head injury for two minutes alone so that's the rank inconsistency straight away.

Spurs and Liverpool both needed wins so got 10 mins, Man Utd were hanging on to a 1-0 so there was 4.

Remember going to Blackburn years ago and got to my seat and they were 3 pissed up 50 year old, that pissed they were holding each other up

Sorry about that!

I can't find Wilma's comments? Have they been on this thread at all?

I can think of 97 reasons why Liverpool boo the Anthem.

This. The moronic, racist, homophobic 10 percenters. In every club, every town, every city.
