Nine Reasons To Hate Liverpool Football Club

1) "They have the best fans in England"

Hmmm...strange one this one. Just because every so often on an important European night their fans make a bit of noise they think they can call themselves the best in the country.

As a Man Utd fan I know Old Trafford can be quiet, and frequently put up with these kind of "insults". However, Anfield is just as bad as Old Trafford. You watch, come Saturday against Stoke City Anfield will be like a morgue. Liverpool fans being great supporters is a MYTH.

I'll give the fans one thing, they are patient—18 years without a league title is a long time yet they still turn up most weeks in their boiler suits and fake rolex watches.


2) The "This is Anfield" Sign

Er, so? Scary isn't it? No, it's not. Anfield isn't a scary place to go anymore, mainly because the fans don't create an atmosphere often enough. I mean, is that sign seriously meant to strike fear into the opposition?

Come on, it's just a bit of laminated pathetic-ness really isn't it? Probably nicked from the back of some white van. That sign is every bit as bad as "The Theatre of Dreams" nick-name.


3) The 2001 Fake Treble

Liverpool won the treble in 2001. Did you know that? The only problem was that it was a mickey-mouse rubbish treble.

I mean don't get me wrong, winning the League Cup, FA Cup, and UEFA Cup in one season is a great achievement. Just don't go around shouting that you equalled Manchester United's treble winning season because it just isn't as good or as brilliant. It was minor in comparison.

To even come close to equaling United's treble you would have had to have won the League—difficult to imagine isn't it? Thought so...


4) Living in the Past

This is 2009. It is not 1979. Liverpool were the best team in England, maybe even the world around 30 years ago. But that just isn't relevant anymore. So please don't tell us about your former glories because it doesn't count in the Premier League era.

You haven't won the League since the change from the old Division One. So despite holding a record 18 League titles, most of your fans don't even remember the last one so don't brag about it. It's silly.

Also five European Cups. Well done! Impressive, seriously. But how many of them were won when colour television was around? One, maybe.

So stop living in the past. It is sickening and makes you look stupid, because most of you don't remember it so holds no credibility over fans of currently competitive teams. I mean, even Blackburn have won the league since you did last!


5) The Pepe Reina Myth

Is Pepe Reina the best goalkeeper in England? No, of course he isn't. Yet for some unknown reason Liverpool sincerely without-a-hint-of-a-laugh believe he is the best goalkeeper in the Premier League. Apparently he should also replace Casillas in goal for Spain. Ha! Good one, that!

We all know Reina is a good shot-stopper but he also has that inane ability to cause one hell of a cock-up. Whether it's a rush of blood to the head coming off his line, or simply pushing the ball onto Andy Johnson's head, we know that Reina can be a liability.

So he is good, but not the best. Cech, Friedel, Given, and Van Der Sar are all more consistent and generally better goalkeepers. Paul Robinson when he is confident is a better 'keeper too.


6) Season 04/05

Liverpool finished 30 points behind champions Chelsea in 5th place. outside of the Champions League places. Their league form was sketchy at best, losing 11 of 38 games. Yet they somehow ended up winning the Champions League.

Of course, UEFA pull strings to allow them into the Champions League next year, when they clearly don't deserve it. They ended up being the worst defending champions in Champions League history, losing to Benfica before the quarter finals. *Sniggers*


7) Jamie Carragher and Steven Gerrard

Carragher sounds like Donald Duck. It's annoying. He's also not as good as Liverpool fans make out. He is not better than Rio Ferdinand and John Terry. In fact, when fit Woodgate and King are better than him. England don't miss him, he's not good enough anyway.

Gerrard is annoying as well. A Hollywood player who seeks headlines and personal glory instead of putting the team first. I'm telling you, get rid of Gerrard and you will win the League. As the song goes... Steve Gerrard, Gerrard, He kisses the badge on is chest, and hands in a transfer request, Steve Gerrard Gerrard. Great loyalty from your skipper there.


8) Rafa's Beard

Need I say more. It's just creepy.


9) Hillsborough/Heysel/Munich Disasters

Let's just get this straight. What happened at these respected tragedies was unbelievably awful. However, it appears the hypocritical and fickle nature of Liverpool fans dictates that they are allowed to sing disgraceful songs about the Munich Air Disaster, call Man Utd Manure—which has its roots in the Munich Air Disaster—but as soon as anybody dare mention Hillsborough, or the fact that Liverpool fans killed Juve fans at Heysel, then that's out of order.

I personally feel nobody should sing songs about this, but as soon as the Scousers open up on Munich, then it's no holds barred as far as I'm concerned. If you don't want us to sing about Hillsborough or explain how you were at fault at Heysel (probably Hillsborough as well, from what I've heard the police did a professional job on the day!) then don't mention Munich it's simple.

How to Know When You Have A Fake Friend

This is a very common thing that has been happening in this world. People should choose their friends wisely and not for all the wrong reasons. People should know what kind of friend they have when certain signs or things are being shown. Well this article is going to tell you all about those signs and things.

1st clue to know when you have a fake friend is when that so called friend talks about you behind your back. Alot of people that consider themselves real true friends, but is not, tend to do this alot, because their 2-faced and to much of a coward to tell you what kind of friend they really are face to face.

2nd clue to know when you have a fake friend is when that person tries to come in between you and your boyfriend. Fake friends that do this just want some attention and hate the fact that you have someone that really cares for you and they don't, so they try to break your happiness up so they can have a piece of what you have.

3rd clue to know when you have a fake friend is when that person talks about you to another friend and once they get into in with the other friend they come back to you telling you about the situation and they start talking about them as well. Fake friends like this go back and fourth between one person they claim as a friend and the other they claim as a friend also. They tend to smile in your in face and make everything seem good and perfect when the whole time it is not.

4th clue to know when you have a fake friend is when that person acts antisocial or antagonistic towards you. People like this are just calling you as a friend for just that time being. For example; say you just started working at a new job and you introduce yourself to everybody, and there is the one particular person that has this nice to meet you, you should hang with me kind of look on their face, lets say you do, so by now you have worked at the job for 4 or 5 weeks and suddenly you notice that person starts to get tired of you because they only want to talk and hang with you at work, but when it is somewhere else, they act like they don't know you and never seen you before in their life. This is a kind of person that you can call an acquaintance, instead of a friend.
