Go City!
Liverpool are 100% entitled to put that message out. Who the f**k are we, honestly, to question that. Get a grip.

a team who went 13 years without a proper home ground, after being robbed of literally everything we had, and yet still managed arguably the most controversial, thrilling, against all odds, survival story football has got to tell. (Which includes 3 league titles and a Play-off final Trophy)
What was that about 'it means more'?

I dislike Man City far more than Liverpool.
In terms of disliked teams, I'd put them above Man United.
They have been completely "Chelsea-fied" with money from a highly dubious regime. The way their manager in interviews attempts to disconnect "the team" from the boardroom turns my stomach I'm afraid.
I'd love Liverpool to win the title just to get one over on them.

That they are. I am also 100% entitled to comment on it being puerile, nauseating, self-important bollocks though.

I want Liverpool to win the title. I don't want Brighton to lose. So I'm sorted for the last day.

It's not the club. It's an independent page. One person's message. Can't see the issue. Better things to get uppity about.

Every club has a story. They have their own. Brighton’s story is not their concern. Why should another team’s fans consider your view while rallying support from their own? If they were an immediate or local rival I’d get it, trouble is they’re at another level and 100% entitled to that arrogance.

All clubs are capable of inducing vomit with self promotion, you just don’t see it when it’s the club you’re immersed in. Brighton are as guilty. Even little old Donny Rovers are guilty and who the f**k are they?

Every club does have its story, I agree, so Liverpool with their "it means more" slogan just shows how they think football revolves around them
It's funny really. I like how "It means more" is associated to the passion and divine spiritual power Liverpool FC is blessed with on that video, when actually the real reason it'll mean more is because they've not won a league title for nearly 30 years and it looks like they won't be winning it this year either..

The City game was dull, watching them grind out an inevitable victory, whereas with Liverpool there's always the excitement it could all go horribly wrong. As a football fan that makes them far more enjoyable to watch. I also think they are the only club where the entire ground seems to sing non-stop for 90 minutes and have more than a couple of songs everyone knows too, and I reckon most clubs would give a lot to get that same level of devotion and support from inside the ground. The only thing that really annoyed me about Liverpool yesterday was the thought that the "Brighton Kop" might not even register if their local team gets relegated while they ride the bandwagon of another team hundreds of miles away to reflected glory.

Ah...Liverpool....the self appointed centre of the universe for music, comedy and football.

I assume everyone on here will be hoping that the ‘It Means More’ line will help Liverpool beat Cardiff next Sunday?
What’s wrong with trying to create a real bond between a club and its supporters? I don’t get the need to feel so bitter about another team!

This exceptionalism I'm afraid is embedded in scouse culture, its not just football it goes way beyond that.

You just reminded me of that banner: 'we're not English, we're scousers', or something like that.

Although not restricted to Scousers - Geordies too? (The latter have got a bit less to shout about right now.)

Its the worst possible mixture of arrogance and self-entitlement. The sort of attitude that led thousands of their fans at big games over the years to believe that it was their right to get into games without paying. The sort of attitude that led to their fans lining the streets leading to Anfield and raining more than a thousand bottles and assorted missiles on an opposition coach and know, because of the sensitive and protective arm that has been thrown around them, that little or no action would be taken.

Go City!
"We have a family "
They have got a fair few distant cousins that live miles away and don't visit.
You don't need to see any of that. There are plenty of decent groups that are brilliant for hobbies and local interests.

This 100%.
Fans of the top 6 are supremely smug about their greatness, that they’re on the cusp of immortality (in City’s case, they’ve bought it already). Plus if West Ham ever got a top team, their fans would dominate the airwave ... going by the chirpy Cockney arrogance during their one good season with Payet.
