Let's All Laugh At... Let's all laugh at Liverpool thread

[yankspurs]

Theres a epic article on SSN relaying the Gerrard slip. Bit much but such a happy memory ?

I hope henderson ends up taking the mantle of slipping the title away at some point this season

Think it will fuck everyone up a bit, I can’t wait. Should shake things up a bit.

They’ll find a way of favouring the usual suspects

Look at midweek. Rose got given a penalty against him, Alexander-Arnold got away with his handball.

The guy is a legend. I grew up in a Pool dominated the era and he was one of the kingpins of that team. That team were incredible and as a kid, even as a Spurs fan, I’d want to emulate him and Keegan and Toshack and Heighway and Clemence. He was their Roy Keane when they were winning everything. Totally deserves the headlines and respect.

Don't get me wrong, I grew up in the 70s and appreciate what a player he was. It's just the crap that they spout all the time and the passing of a former player of his stature will only increase the "It's our year" drivel.

He was Liverpool’s version of our Dave Mackay.

It was always the way attending Liverpool games at Anfield the 1970's/80's/90's when supporters of visiting teams always had to run the gauntlet of marauding Scousers along Scotland Road and around the Lime St/City centre
while Lancashire's finest bizzies failed to stop them and often joined in the fun whacking fans with their big batons
and saying stuff like 'fuck off back to London you cockney bastards'

Just clicking back on this thread, and missed this one. I remember those long black canes the police had up there. Anfield and Goodison. Had to be between ’75 and ’79, ‘cause that’s when I went to most away games. Only lasted a couple of years, because I remember seeing them for the first time, then a few times after that, and then it was regular truncheons again. Never saw those things at any other grounds.

I remember when I first saw them, Anfield night game. Think they thought they were the Soweto police. Whacking everyone. Had a mark on my jeans and a welt on my leg. Goodison was even worse than Anfield in those days.

Never saw those weapons anywhere else as far as I could remember.

They hardly needed an excuse to use them, loved giving it out.

I didn't either. Merseyside thing I guess.

Minging old bint

I hope if she ever comes back she gets chucked out. Fuck off to Liverpool love.

I admit I actually got really irritated by that! How the hell she got a ticket in the first place annoys me. And she's so small that she has to come to a rival's grounds just to poke fun? P*** off!

To be fair, I’m sure there are non-Spurs fans all over the home stands.

I went to WHL with Sarah (who didn’t even watch football), my step-dad (who is a Fulham fan, and it was to actually watch us play Fulham), and a close friend (a Liverpool fan). They all enjoyed the experience.

She was probably there with her husband.

I'm sure I've missed thousands of shitty comments but I've been slightly surprised by how many positive comments I've read from Scousers about Lucas Moura's kick about with his kid after the match today.

"That's what the game is about" seems to be the gist of the comments I've seen and fair play to that. ?

Respect? Sounds like he was a racist bully to me.

The amount of people coming out saying 'different times back then' is scary. How are we ever supposed to eradicate racism when people continually look for excuses for these things been said.

But that’s the point. It was normal then just like George Washington kept slaves but is still seen as a hero and leader of a free people. Times have changed so you can’t judge people by today’s standards. In 30yrs time You will be deemed guilty for driving a fossil fuelled vehicle that people will look back on in disgust.

Makes me kinda vom in mouth but hope they beat Chelsea today.

Really don’t want them to win prem but would be good for us if Chelsea dropped all the points.

Is really hard watching them and wanting them score.

Have to keep reminding myself that it's best for us if they do.
