I don't understand how some of these guys are still on tv representing Liverpool though. I have seen Mellor, Kirkland, Matteo, JAR etc all referencing Liverpool as "we".
JAR is just terrible on tv. He did a casual segment on Malaysian tv as a "Liverpool Legend" where I thought he was smug and obnoxious to the fans. I have even seen him on fucking CNN commenting about us in a post match review.
Mellor and Kirkland really are genuine fans. And Kirkland still works for the club.
McAteer seemed to relish booting Owen up the arse at the weekend.

I can't really hate any ex-players as I could only take them seriously when they were playing. Otherwise they should be in remedial class.
However I do have an irrational dislike of Roy Hodgson. I feel both pity for his mediocrity and detestation at his ability to make a noble game seem like chess for beginners. If pity added to detestation equals hate then yeah he's a dick.

Lawrenson just never understands humour. He really wants to be funny, but doesn't know how to do it, so he relies on negativity and sarcasm in the hope it is taken as wit. But he's an odd character - off-screen he's really not a bad bloke at all; he doesn't dislike us at all, he actually speaks with real affection about us. His passion, though, is for Preston North End, he's a serious fan, and he's honest enough not to pretend he's as obsessive about us. But he does care about us.
Diouf obviously. Wouldn't have a lot of time for Pennant either.
I don't harbour any dislike for El-Hadji Diouf. I think people should make allowances. You can't pluck a lad from the back streets of Dakar, where they are probably spitting at each other all the time, and expect him to behave like Little Lord Fauntleroy.
Diouf had the mentality of a warrior, and never shirked a tackle. I think his best game for us was the League Cup Final versus Man U at the Millennium Stadium, when he made Gary Neville's life a nightmare*.

Little smug cunt broke my ten year old heart. Leaving LFC just seemed incomprehensible at that age. I've only grown to hate him more as time goes on. How he has a media career is beyond me. I don't know any football fan who has a good word to say about him.
You are talking about a player who scored 158 goals in 297 appearances for Liverpool, including winning the 2001 FA Cup Final against Arsenal virtually single-handed after Arsenal had outplayed us for most of the game. Although I share your irritation at his current media persona, you can't dismiss him out of hand in that way. Despite his idiosyncrasies, he has to be regarded as a club legend!
Tennants is a fine shout. Total brainless, horrible cunt.
I'm more than disappointed we signed him
Hes a fucking bellend.
I used to work in a popular South Liverpool Restaurant, a couple of night shifts through the week. He came in one Wednesday night with his page 3 bird, think her name was Amy something or other. We got him a table even though we were pretty much full. He had a 3 course meal and about 7 or 8 cocktails (fucking strong ones as well, I was making them). Paid up, left barely any tip, and got up to leave. His bird was fucking stunning like so I held the door open for them so I could get a better look at her arse. Walked out and not even a thanks or anything. Then I watched as he walked over the road, got in the drivers seat of a car (some Lamborghini or something like that), switched the engine on, and fucking screeched off down the road. The guy must have been 4 or 5 times over the limit the amount of ale he had. Hes a professional footballer on 60K a week, and hes drink driving in a very noticeable car. Prick.
And don't get me started on Xabi Alonso. Tight fucker.
