I would find it hard to disagree - but all clubs have fans like that dont they?
I have a couple of friends that do but the rest dont, I guess because they are my sort of age and dont really know what glory at the lane looks like.

If you'd have offered Liverpool fans what Benitez has achieved over the last few years at the time of his appointment they would, I think, have been reasonably content.
However, it does look as though his focus is mainly on the Champions League, and he also appears to have favourites who don't deserve to be playing as regularly as they are (e.g. Kuyt).
Sacking Benitez is only worthwhile if they can bring a better manager in, and there aren't too many of those around. Certainly Mourinho, but then after that you're struggling. Get knocked out by Inter and he is f***ed, of that there can be little doubt.

Rafa Benitez refuses to look beyond Inter Milan clashFeb 18 2008
by David Prentice, Liverpool Echo
RAFA BENITEZ refused to look beyond tomorrow night’s Champions League clash with Inter, after Saturday’s embarrassing FA Cup exit again raised questions about his future at Anfield.
And he pointedly refused to answer whether his squad possessed the quality required for a club of Liverpool’s stature.
Clearly devastated by Barnsley’s shock 2-1 triumph, he was asked: “Do you need to win the Champions League to be here next season?”
Benitez retorted: “I just need to win the next game.
“I don’t know of too many managers who win the Champions League every year.

“I think we need to improve the squad and keep working.”
Then when he was asked: “Is there enough quality at a club of Liverpool’s stature?” he sidestepped the question.
“At this moment we are out of the Cup,” he replied. “We need to think about the Champions League.
“If we can create the chances then that we created against Barnsley I am sure we will score goals. We must try to keep going.
“There is always pressure when you cannot win games. That is normal. When you cannot win games you must try to change the small things.”
Liverpool’s starting line-up will be dramatically different tomorrow, with Pepe Reina, Steven Gerrard, Javier Mascherano and Fernando Torres all set to return.
Benitez pointed the finger of responsibility for Saturday’s FA Cup exit at his goal-shy forwards rather than unsafe goalkeeper Charles Itandje.
“Do I regret changing my keeper? No, not really,” he said. “If we had taken our chances it would have been different.
“Barnsley had a fantastic goalkeeper who made some great saves. But they didn’t have too many chances and I cannot blame the keeper. The team was working really hard, so we just need to score the goals we deserved.
“We had a lot of chances. Their keeper was man of the match. We could not kill the game and, in this case, conceded in the last minute.
“It is difficult to explain. I think that every game we have a lot of opportunities. I said the other day we must be more ruthless, and it is true.
“It’s not about one name, because when you have so many chances you must finish the game.
“I said to the players at the end, in terms of their work-rate you cannot blame them, but in terms of their game, when you are creating chances you must think about doing the same in the next game.
“We are really, really disappointed, but we must start to think about the next game and we must start to think right now.
“In the last month we have had a lot of chances in every game but we haven’t scored the second goal in the game.
“We must keep working hard, creating chances and have confidence that we can score the second goal.”
