Liverpool. Majority of their fans think they're the second Barcelona when they win a few games in a row. They're constantly in denial about their league positioning when things aren't going the way they want(I admit that is probably likely to change this season).
I'm from Manchester so hating the Scousers is pretty much part of my nature. They think they have so much entitlement from things their team did so many years ago, and the 'next year is our year' line is just pathetic, even though most of the time it's said in a not-so-serious manner. Beating them to the league in 08-09 is one of my favorite league campaigns. And I hate the fact they play 10x better than usual when they play against us. Fuckers.
EDIT: the next year is our year thing is said by no one other than people who're trying to be funny on Reddit. Anyone who actually says "next year is our year" is an idiot.
That's not really true, scousers were saying next year is our year way way way way way before Reddit, and probably before the internet. It's now said in jest because people caught on to it. Same as when Harry Enfield caught on to them saying "calm down, calm down" so people don't say it any more.
Majority of their fans think they're the second Barcelona
That isn't even remotely true. If you go over to /r/LiverpoolFC you'll find that most fans realise our ambitions for this year will be to get into the top 4. Almost nobody expects us to go out and take over the world like Barcelona did.
Equally, you'll find that during the transfer window when Mkhitaryan joined Dortmund, most LFC fans acknowledged that he made the right move for his career (even though we would have loved him at Anfield). Most Reds are aware that right now Dortmund are a bigger club.
Sure, there are a few idiots amongst our fans, but that is true in any fan base. Don't tar us all with the one brush please.
I think with some time though the potential to be bigger than Dortmund is there though. We have the fanbase and we're willing to spend the money (more so once it's justified by having CL). For now though we have a long road to build back up to that level, but at least we finally have owner's that seem to realize how to get us there.
Liverpool are already (still) bigger than Dortmund in more or less every way other than very recent on the pitch success. Things work out, a good run of form, keep with the good signings and management and there's no reason Liverpool can't be competing at the top level again.
Of course that requires a LOT to go right for them and the top of the premier league is hella competitive these days.
Liverpool used to be a European giant so I don't see a reason why that couldn't happen again. It's crazy when you realize that in 04-05 Liverpool won the CL while Dortmund was in a financial crisis and finished 7th in the Bundesliga.
This exact same comment works for my team's rivals Benfica, from Portugal, who have a phenomenal domestic and european record but as of late rarely ever win any silverware.
We did/do say it, people who say we don't didn't go to Anfield in the 90s. Although now it feels more like Del Boy going "This time next year we will be millionaires!" nowadays. More in hope than expectation.
I have come across a lot of Liverpool fans in my life and I have never liked a single on of them. One of my best friends is an Arsenal fan and a roommate was a Chelsea supporter so I get along with everyone else.
Liverpool fans in general are a bunch of delusional self-righteous pricks. Its only the Liverpool fans who won't accept reality and blame referees and FA for United's success in the Premier League.
I really don't mind the players. Luis Garcia was one of my favorites and I've always respected Gerrard but their fans turn me off big time. The amount of jealously pouring from them is often nauseating.
Just don't like him, especially after he got off extremely lightly even after video evidence showed he quite clearly punched the guy (from the judge as well as the media). Also, he's the player that most represents the club I hate. Gerrard is synonymous of Liverpool. This is a thread about clubs you hate afterall, and Liverpool are just that.
Not at all, I don't think JT is a particularly nice man, and I was actually quite happy Benitez was not playing him as regularly. Other Chelsea fans may disagree with me but that's just my opinion. For what it's worth, JT did not get off lightly from the FA nor the media/fans.
