Well yes that's true. And if I wasn't a Liverpool fan I wouldn't want us to win the league either.
It's a huge compliment

The unbearables.
Suarez would definitely have to start... But there might be a spot for Firmino too. No reason Firmino couldn't play in an attacking midfield role, he played in such a position before joining us.
Firmino and Suarez would be incredible with their interplay and trickery together.
See, this bit, I don't get... Aside for those who have always and will always hate us, why wouldn't the neutrals be rooting for us?
We've been a sleeping giant for much of 30 years now, but we're also a massive underdog when it comes to a straight comparison between our squad and payroll and that of City, the abhorrent, neuvo-riche, epitome of a plastic football club. AND, on top of that, there really doesn't seem to be one single areshole on that team - They all seem like very decent blokes. Plus... well... Just Jurgen.
Seriously... Why do so many neutrals hate LFC?
Nah, it has changed massively since Jurgen came.
Teams domestically and abroad all want to beat us, because we are usually the biggest matchup in their calendar year.
Neutrals love to watch us, we are entertaining and we provide lots of drama. There usually isn't a dull moment with us if we are being very honest. We have a very likable team with honest, hardworking players. And of course, Klopp. What is there to not like about this guy?

It's partly our long period of unparalleled success and refusal to accept any loss in status as a football team. A sense of entitlement perhaps, albeit well-placed.
We are football royalty, like it or not.
It's also partly about Liverpool as a city; there's a bit of 'otherness' and a lack of interest in lots of aspects of being 'English' as portrayed in the media; the Royal family, the national team, national press, and the Tories fucking the city over. Etc.
It's a city full of immigrants, because of the port and proximity to Ireland.
And also we *do* think we're better and 'not the same' as the rest of the country; The Beatles, fashion, culture, humour, art.....and partly because there's also still a stigma about people from Liverpool, a siege mentality railing against 'robbing, jobless Scallies', which is why there's Liverpool cliques in every industry and city across the country.
And Scousers have long memories, which is misconstrued occasionally as 'bitter whining' (and sometimes correctly)
I dunno. That's my take. I'm not a historian or sociologist.
I dunno, Woland. Feels like it's always been there as long as I can remember
My antipathy about 'England' is hard-wired
Mind you, my parents are Irish, so they don't like the English anyway
Although strangely the Welsh are higher on the shitlist, but I'm assuming that's some kind of weird fucking internecine bog-trotter struggle about who is the least English of the people living next to the English.

What's the point? Has a Tory ever won a seat in Liverpool?
I genuinely don't know, but I'm assuming not since I don't know anyone from Liverpool who has ever voted Conservative

Apart from Portly
Hating every political leader and every political party is not doing my reputation for crazed misanthropy any good at all
Like who? What else is on that coast? It's just Geordies, nothing until you get to Scotland, and then nothing South until you get to...er....France
Oh yeah, always think of it as being just in the middle
I'll be honest, my UK geography is confined to London, the Northwest, and roughly where Wales and Scotland are.
Leeds, Nottingham, Birmingham and all the rest are 'in the middle'
For example, if you asked me where Hull was on a map, I would be delighted to get within 50 miles. And the right coast.
I mean, where the actual fuck is STOKE?
See? Nobody knows. Not even people from Stoke.

Sunderland? It's like, right by Newcastle. They do sound very similar, but not exactly the same.
It's also a shithole, whereas Newcastle is actually pretty fucking decent. Spent a few boss weekends there.
That's the brotherhood of mental accents.
My mum hated the idea of going abroad, so I spent much of my young life being dragged around stately homes & other fascinating national trust owned properties all over the UK.
As such I've been to loads of places, but in terms of knowing where they are, could probably only find about 20% on a map!
That sounds like luxury, that.
We just went to Wexford or Rhosneigr, depending on which place wasn't flooded at the time
So, usually Rhosneigr then..?
