Ha ha. Yeah you know it's the truth. The moral high ground remains ours you scouse scallywags with your Stevie G's and your king Kenny's.

Must be weird being on such a high morale ground, yet a fairly flat and middle league position.

I always seemed to regard the majority of utd fans I know to be a bit patronising, but lately their true colours are now starting to show and the bitterness they really feel towards Liverpool.

I much prefer it this way as I admire honesty in a person;)

Who do you support?

Its quite confusing when people don't initiate their sentences with, "As a ___ fan", isn't it?

What we got here is a classic case of Catch-22.

If nullzero says he's a United fan, he'll have stated who he supports and is therefore, a Liverpool fan. If he doesn't state who he supports, we can't be sure which standpoint he is coming from and discussion will be stilted until we have further information.

Its more of an issue your side than ours tbh.

Utd at this point in the season, and for a few weeks now have been an irrelevance when it comes to all things related to LFC push for CL, and or a title challenge.

Everything else is just banter and you've got to realise there are years worth of 'comebacks' bottled up, so take em on the chin and who knows the shoe could be back on the other foot next season, but really dont expect any let up for now.

This plane thing is brilliant. They couldn't just do what every other group of fans in the world do and chant "Moyes out". No, one season without a sniff of a trophy and they have to get a plane involved. They're making a tit of themselves

It's something I'd expect out of Paddy Power's marketing department of fun & games. I can't believe fans are considering doing this.

Gokei

You hear the vast majority of OT fans every match singing their sorry hearts out.

Theses plane banner lads mustn't have large enough numbers to get a Moyes Out chant going..

I was gonna give a proper response but then I recognised your username and remembered this and how much of a show you made of yourself, this was pretty hilarious

Now I probably won't be able to take you seriously ever again, sorry!

Demosthenese

United fans leading by example yet again putting us all to shame ... shouldn't we be all pitching in for a banner to fly across the Liverpool sky saying "Brendan, one game at a time, we are all revelling in the dream, this is a great season, you are the man for the job and have made great progress this year, YNWA" ... obviously for safety and financial reasons we can just make it "Brendan IN, Moysie too" ...

Didnt we do the plane thing ourselves..albeit not about a manager

I posted that about the plane yesterday afternoon and it went under the radar but I see by the reaction it wasnt just me who was surprised.

Its absolutely outrageous for someone to go and organise something like that. It does absolutely nothing to help the club and is quite vicious. Id be surprised if most Utd fans agreed with that course of action.

I for one would be disgusted if a plane was flown over Anfield for that reason. There are other ways to show your displeasure with club/manager.

Aww, you're cute. You haven't a clue what you're talking about though.

Oh yeah that season where we won 10 and drew one from the last 11 and hit what 86 points.

Unfortunately Utd went on a similar run but that's the way it goes.

That total would have won the league most seasons. Good chance 86 will be enough this year too

True...but with the amount of crosses in a United game meaning a lot of fans will be looking up this is the most effective way.

Seriously who gives a fcuk what they do we have bigger and better things to be worrying about

I would say the same about any club. I personally dont give a f*ck about Utd and what they do. If any club fans did this I would think it a disgrace.

We have nothing to be worrying about!

Knex*

I give a **** for football reasons, not because its United. Same way when Cardiff's owner changed their colour, and other things like that.

There's stuff you don't want to see as a fan of the game, and this is certainly one of them.

Everton have announced they are planning to erect a permanent tribute at Goodison Park to the 96 Liverpool fans who died at Hillsborough.

The Blues have revealed they have been in discussions with an Everton supporter whose brother lost his life at the 1989 FA Cup semi-final.

Everton head of media and communications, Mark Rowan, said: "Plans at this moment are in the early stages. But we have a commitment to unveil a memorial to coincide with the 25th anniversary of that tragic day.

"Evertonians and the club have always stood shoulder-to-shoulder with the families of the Hillsborough victims and we feel it is fitting that our home should have a permanent tribute to the 96."

Tickets confirmed for the Aviva game ,not sure what players will make the trip but even if we are celebrating top 4 it will be great.
Heading over for the Chelsea game before that,what a tense affair that will be, cant wait !

Nuri Sahin

What they're going through is miniscule compared to what Liverpool has gone through be it in recent years or going further back, on and off the pitch. You'd swear their club's existence is being threatened with the way some of them are right now, so I don't have much sympathy for them. Some will say otherwise now I'm sure, but make no bones about it, many of them nearly got what they wanted a few years ago when H&G were still here.

I have a little hope in me that Everton get that 4th spot.

It would be good for the league (as is us challenging for the title).

Shows it isn't predictable, the top 4 isn't a lock, and that teams with disadvantages in terms of resources challenge above their station.

It would be a phenomenal achievment for Martinez and enough to warrant Manger of the Year imo, barring us winning the league

Tickets booked for the Aviva. Hopefully we play a bit better than in the Celtic game last year

I have slagged united fans for years calling them glory hunters, while they laughed at us in midtable. Its easy to support a team when they are winning, but when they are losing is when you see the real fans.

Ive supported Liverpool since I was 6, roughly about 1994. Admittedly I lost interest in football in general around 2002 for a few years (teenage years ).

1999 was a terrible time to be a Liverpool supporter, just ****ing awful United did a clean sweep, a domestic and European treble. And let me tell you there was numerous people in my class at the time defected to united.
Those same people where/are the ones pissing and moaning in my facebook feed about Moyes. They just had 25 years of unprecedented success but they can't take one season off the top?

Real childish stuff like 'I cant bear to watch this team anymore' and 'Im not supporting united until they sack David Moyes'

David Moyes is the wrong man imo and while I detest Ferguson, I respect him and he has earned the right to put his faith in a man he thinks will take the club forward.

Some people just like to back a winner and a terrible losers, that's not me personally. I have two mates who follow West Ham and Leeds and they have been through the mire, they still go to about 10 games a season each of them, I just have huge respect for that.

Any united fan under 30/35 has only every known success.

gafferino

I would be happy to see Everton take 4th - it means Arsenal/Spurs/Utd wouldnt get it and thus reduce their appeal to the top calibre of footballer. United probably still will due to their wealth and history but it would mean players wanting to play CL football for an English club will come to us, City or Chelsea - I cant see Everton having a large budget or be a good longer term option for 'top top' players.

More praise for Rodgers. All of the players speak so highly of him.

Sterling's form for Liverpool since Christmas has been electrifying. He has scored seven goals this season and set up many more. He cites Brendan Rodgers as a huge influence.
"He's helped me massively," Sterling explains. "Not only with my footballing game but if I need someone to talk to off the field he's there for me. I've got to really give credit to him and thank him a lot."

Demosthenese

For all those saying why should we care about whats going on at Old Trafford ... i CARE ... Ferguson is their gatekeeper for 20 years and he made it personal - he made it about knocking Liverpool off their ****ing perch - unfortunately they did and the fans all bought into that and never let us live it down. Yes we had some great times and that was what we called the 80's! So we plodded on through it all and kept our heads held high, picked up a champions league on the way, showed glimpses of what we were and how important it was for us to get back to competing again. We endured the Roy era, Gillette and Hicks almost ruined us ... it was a horrible few seasons for the club and supporters.

... they have had 20 years of pure success, sometimes unrivalled. Laughed at their neighbours and ridiculed them for not being able to compete. They've grown a set of new age fans, of the 20 year+ bracket that do not know anything other than success and how easy it must have seemed to them. League after league title being collected.

So pardon me for having a chuckle at them having fallen from grace, not just fallen but completely slipped from the top so fast that even the most imaginative of fans would never have believed they'd have such a season. It is refreshing for the game, it is a wake up call to their fans that things cannot last forever and when you take your eye off the ball everything can do downhill fast. We have waited so many season for them to transition, Ferguson was a freak and although his accomplishments will always be respected it is a double irony that the man who made them what they are today, has also made them into what they always feared. He used his influence and god like status to install the next generation of United staff and has made them swallow it by fisting the mantra "Stand by your manager" down their throats.

It is like a soap opera really, it is so compelling that it's hard to turn away from the drama that unfolds after each result rolls in. This whole aeroplane thing is just the icing on the cake really. They couldn't even go 1 season without making a complete show of themselves in the most embarrassing fashion. Blaming the manager as a scapegoat when there is no magic wand to cover the fact that the squad are just nearing the end of the road.

Long may it continue and we should make no apologies for enjoying the show they put on. Doubly funny since we are the ones cashing in on their fall from grace.

And they're doing so playing positive football as well to be fair to them which one can appreciate, even if there is a complete lack of plan B from Martinez from a tactical standpoint.

Snap! Got my first shirt aged 6 with Rush on the back in 1994. And had the same spell aged 15/16 where I wouldn't say I lost interest, but it certainly waned a little bit.
