Guy Bifkin Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 My face saving angle on social media is going to be that Frank Lampard has now won more league titles for Liverpool than Steven Gerrard. The "debate" is over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy Bifkin Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 Congratulate him like a gentlemen but politely point out this year's title winners will always have an asterix next to them, like those during World War 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kid booting his ball at the "United win the league again" sign is funny.  On one level its a really good video. But on the other hand, going hand in hand with all the OTT coverage, are we meant to feel sorry for Liverpool fans or something? I can count a few FA Cups, League Cups and Champions League over the past 30 years. Not too bad if you're a supporter of 99% of clubs that have won fuck all over the same time period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too bad if you're a supporter of 99% of clubs that have won fuck all over the same time period. The "30 years of hurt" nonsense has been a bit much. Though of course, in typical football fan style, they've taken the piss out of Liverpool for years for never winning the PL and now they have, everyone says it's no big deal because they won cups and finished second a bunch of times. You can feel what you want for anyone. We all want to succeed and success for all teams is relative. The title being something Liverpool won time after time over three decades only to go 30 years without one became the thing they strived for. I'm sure the people who go week in and week out, especially the ones too young for 1990, feel about it the way the rest of us do about anything. That video could apply to any fan of any club really. Except the ending would be shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gaffer Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 Hit the nail on the head, there. A similar juxtaposition is the "Nobody cares about this title" already turning into "I wish the media would stop going on about it." The rolling coverage is absolutely mental. And absolutely nauseating for some, absolutely. But it all abundantly spotlights how big this is and how remembered it's going to be, in hilarious contrast to years of City wins that nobody has given a flying fuck about.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Scott Malbranque Posted June 26, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted June 26, 2020 My life is in the key of D Minor. I've had to deactivate my Facebook and Instagram accounts. And I stormed out of a WhatsApp group in a fierce huff at lunch time after being teed off on all night and this morning by all my Liverpool supporting mates. But...they thoroughly deserved it.

Paid Members tiger_rick Posted June 26, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted June 26, 2020 It's a nonsense. As if any Liverpool fan thought they were popular after last season when people were calling the Saudi financial dopers "heroes". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the only plus side is how it will annoy Man Utd fans. Couple that with the hot weather in London it’ll be an unpleasant weekend for them.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
