The cheap seats: 5 things Liverpool fans are sick of hearing

This year could be our year

JOE

You’ll Never Walk Alone.

But you will occasionally have to walk with fans of other clubs.

And god knows, they like sticking the boot in.

Some of the criticism is fair, but mostly it’s the same old record stuck on repeat.

Read on…

Gerrard never won an EPL title

A common reference point for Mancs. However, it’s hardly fair to criticise a successful player for one missing honour.

Gerrard never lifted the Premier League trophy, but he did win the FA Cup and the the UEFA Super Cup twice, the League Cup three times, the Community Shield, the Champions League and the UEFA Cup.

That’s a pretty impressive list, particularly for European trophies.

Did you guys know that United icon, Eric Cantona never won a European trophy? *tosses grenade*

Liverpool deduct transfer fees by using ‘Scouse maths’

This is how Liverpool justify transfer fees for big-money flops, such as Andy Carroll and Stewart Downing.

This type of math must be taught in London (Francis Jeffers to Arsenal £8.5m, Andriy Shevchenko to Chelsea, £30.8m) and Manchester (Juan Sebastian Veron to United, £28m) too though…

Every club makes bad signings and every football fan tries to justify them, no matter what club they support.

“Hey Liverpool fans, do you still think it’s going to be your year”

Liverpool fans are no more deluded than fans of any other team.

For heaven’s sake, United put up a banner of David Moyes’ face and ‘The Chosen One’ written on it.

Now if that wasn’t misguided optimism, then we don’t know what is.

Liverpool fans are stuck in the past

Why should they forget 18 League titles, 5 European Cups, 7 FA Cups, 8 League Cups and 3 Uefa Cups?

The great past is used to inspire their current crop and there is nothing wrong with that at all.

Brendan Rogers is a bluffer

Actually, you might be right there.
