I think anyone saying they'd give up on LFC is probably being a bit shortsighted. I mean, it'd be a massive blow, and it could dent your enthusiasm in the short term, but what on earth would you fill the void with? And even if you managed it for a season or longer, you just know there would come a time when you'd find yourself watching MOTD or stumbling upon us playing in the pub and you couldn't help but find yourself willing us to win. They're our boys FFS. Ultimately, the enthusiasm would return and you'd end up back in the cycle again.
For me, I doubt it'd last a week. I mean, sure, I'd be mortified and all, but Liverpool is a drug for me. Sometimes I love it; sometimes I hate it; sometimes I get the pure stuff and it's euphoric; sometimes I get a bum deal and it leaves me feeling robbed. Sometimes I feel like there's nothing else I'd rather do; sometimes I feel I could be spending my time more productively - but ultimately, none of it stops me tuning in at the same time the following week.
Football fans are fickle. The reason we're fickle is because we're passionate. And while that passion may see us taken to the brink every once in a while, it is precisely that passion that would bring us back. Some quicker than others, perhaps, but it's unavoidable.
