[Football] Liverpool fans have their doubts about us...

Sadly, I'd be Palace.

We don’t bloody want yer !

I’m with Danny Baker. Get a map of England. Stick a pin where you were born. The nearest League club to there is YOUR team.

I’ll allow for family / historic ties..say for example your Dad hails from Liverpool and indoctrinated you from birth. Anything else is SHITHOUSE.

So I was born someplace at the other end of the country, with no family ties to at all, as my parents were there while my dad had a 1 year contract. Then we moved around a lot. Does this mean I have to support Middlesbrough as I was born near there but only lived near there for the first 3 months of my life and have never been back?

 

[Se20]

Mutual.

Where was you born ?

 

[Surrey Phil]

Well if Kompany can welly one in from 30 yards, why can't Dunky? Miracles do occasionally happen!

 

[Sussex Nomad]

Where was you born ?

Where was I born, get your grammar correct. Biggin Hill.

 

[Wilko]

Where was you born ?

Were. FFS, what do they teach you in Croydon?

 

[Se20]

Where was I born, get your grammar correct. Biggin Hill.

Biggin Hill hey ? Nice.

 

[Sussex Nomad]

Biggin Hill hey ? Nice.

Not quite sure where you're going with this... weirdo.

I think people take this a bit literally and get touchy on the subject.

When talking about supporting your local team, it would be the first (or any) place you lived for a significant period that you had affiliation with.

The only people I hold in contempt are those who support and claim affiliation with teams hundreds of miles from them based on success and/or superstar status. This covers about 6-8 clubs in recent times.

 

[Durlston]

Parents lived for five years and I was conceived in Bolton so I have to support them? I thought they're trying to bring the suicide rate down.

 

[papajaff]

Good post, I don't think it's the cassette nicking scallies we dislike but the Sussex folk that decide to support a team some 200+ miles away.

Exactly. Hands up anyone who hasn't nicked something in their life. For me, it is the self entitled, never been to Anfield, chose them early on types. Referring to them as 'us' 'we'. Give over will you.

I agree to a certain extent. I’d be lying if I said I haven’t seen some pissed up scousers kicking off for no reason but I think there’s another reason there too.

The Irish/Welsh/Lancashire melting pot meant that made up modern Liverpool drew the lowest rung of those societies in for work so, historically they are belligerent and passionate like their forbears.

Go out i Dublin and you’ll see EXACTLY the same stuff, people arguing, sometimes violently, about utter tripe.

I don’t agree that Liverpool and the level of deprivation visited there is equivalent to many other cities. Liverpool topped every table in terms of unemployment, drug addiction, political upheaval for most of the late seventies and into the 80s. I know it was hard on Newcastle, Glasgow, Birmingham etc. But pretty much every social study at that time ranked Liverpool as “the most deprived city in Europe”

Listen. I was born in Brighton. I’m a Brightonian, not a Liverpudlian but, because of Family breakup I was moved to just about the most deprived area of Liverpool and can say with hand on heart that the overwhelming majority of folk there are proud and decent. I know there’s some right bellends there and I know they harp on about Hillsborough etc. But I put a lot of it down to their feelings of pride and “in it together”. Things we don’t have in Brighton, a city of incomers, with a whole different take on what’s right and wrong when done to others in our community.

BHAFC core support, the demonstrators, the protest marchers, the letter writers, the media botherers..have a LOT more in common with the average LFC fan FROM LIVERPOOL. Than any of City’s hangers on and glory hunters.

**** off, I'm not an incomer!

 

[oneillco]

I like Liverpool. I’d much rather they won it than City.

Park the bus I say, and then it’s up to Klopp and co.

Don’t understand all this Liverpool hatred when City have bought the league.

Agreed. I've got nothing against Scousers and I can't stand Oasis...

OK I challenge you to name one city in the whole of the British Isles where you won't see EXACTLY the same stuff on Saturday night...

True.

Based on my back of a fag packet maths, Liverpool's starting line up this weekend only cost £345m

Meanwhile Man City's cost a staggering £330m

Oh.

Your parents only lived for five years!?

Sorry, couldn't resist.

 

[Brok]

Oh.

Then one of them has spent an awful lot of cash just to be also-rans...

 

[Brovion]

Oh yeah. I can’t stand them either.

You can **** right off. I was born in Purley.

Exactly. You can support whoever you like for whatever reason you like. That being said I do find my tolerance is often stretched past breaking point by Sussex-born Liverpool fans; then I can suddenly switch to 'support your local team you twats' mode.
