Surprising. I got banned from RAWK just for supporting England. I've never ever known anyone being banned for supporting England. In fact there's a very specific club v country thread on the main Liverpool forum and an England thread on the General Sports forum that encourages discussion from supporters of the national team. If you let me know what your username on RAWK was and when you were banned, I'll look into that with our moderators for you mate. Cheers.

Hi everyone, The article has gone live on our site. Feel free to have a look at it here http://www.redandwhitekop.com/forum/index.php?topic=304624.0 It seems to be going down well with our members. Obviously it had to be edited down a little to make it more condensed, but where I've included one of your responses, I've tried to keep the spirit of your answer but just a bit shortened. Unfortunately I couldn't keep everyone's answer for every question, so I've tried to make sure I've given you all a decent chance to get your views across. I'm really happy with the over all feel of the article and I think it's great credit to you Villans, but If anyone is unhappy with any of the editing I've done, please let me know and I'll do my best to change it. Once again, thanks for all your help. Have a happy Easter and good luck with the run in (after Sunday ) Sean

I'd just like to say a great big thank you to everyone for helping out here. There's been some brilliant responses and it's nothing less than I expect from a decent fanbase like yours! I can say this now you've helped me out because i didn't want to say it beforehand in case you thought I was just trying to curry favour with you, but I've always had a soft spot for Villa since I watched you winning the European Cup in 82 as a youngster with three Scousers in your team. For those of you old enough to remember Kenny Swain (in an era of bad perms, his was truly outstanding), his mum and dad moved from Birkenhead to Liverpool and lived in my street. Whenever he came to see them, he'd always have a knockabout with us kids. How many people can say they've played 3 and in with a European Cup winner? So good luck with the game (but not too much!) and the rest of the season in particular. For my money, it'll be QPR, Reading and my outside choice for the third spot will be either Sunderland or Southampton who will go down. Both of their run-ins look absolutely horrendous for them, and I just can't see where they'll get the points to take them over the 40 point line. I think the match between them on the second to last weekend will decide who stays up and who goes down. To the mods, thanks so much for letting me have access to your forum. I've got more than enough replies to compile a decent article now, so if you would prefer to lock this thread that would be fine. Hopefully if it's ok with you, I'll keep my membership open and come back next season to do another one? Cheers, Sean

Hi all, Fellow football supporter coming in peace! As you know, Liverpool are playing Villa on the 30th of March. My Liverpool supporters’ forum Red And White Kop ( http://www.redandwhitekop.com/ ) do a feature before every match asking our fellow supporters their views on the coming game for an article on our site. So what I’d really appreciate is if a couple of you Villains would give me their answers to the following few questions. If you could also state in your replies that I’ve got your permission for me to post the answers on our website, that would be fantastic! To the moderators, Limpid given me permission to post this on here thanks. Thanks for your views and for taking the time to help me out. Sean There’s lots of similarities between our clubs this season; a new young progressive manager with their own brand of football, teething problems bedding in the new style of play, over reliance on younger players being rushed through and playing too many games, and most of all, American owners with long pockets and short arms. So how do you feel this season has gone for you so far? What are your feelings about the present state and direction of your club and how do you rate the boss and Randy Lerner? You’ve had a couple of good wins recently against Reading, West Ham and QPR. What are you hoping for the remainder of this season and going forward into next season? Players of the season awards being talked about in the press all the time, so who has been your best player of the season so far, who has been your most improved and who do you reckon is the flop of the season for you? And the same thing for our team, who do you think are our best, worst and most improved. Finally on this subject, who would you choose to have in your team given the chance, Van Persie, Bale or Suarez? How do you think the match at our place in December turned out in such a comprehensive victory for you? Paul Lambert got his tactics spot on that day, Benteke played like a man possessed, Villa got lucky with a smash and grab raid, we were too embarrassed to play you once we saw Lerner’s pockets bulging with his £20 million Downing money, Liverpool were poor, or somewhere in between? On to the game now, and firstly, who are the form players and danger men we need to look out for and which of our players are you not looking forward to playing against? Which of your players are we best targeting if we want a win, and which of our players do you think will help you out with a poor performance? In what areas of the pitch do you think the game will be won or lost for you, and what tactics do we need to employ to beat you and get our revenge for the match at Anfield? ​And now for a few off the wall questions. Well I never promised I was Geoff Shreeves! There’s a new Pope in town now. If he could throw out a few miracles on request, what ones would you ask him to perform for the team and for Paul Lambert and why? Lookalikes now. Brad Guzan, hero goalie or the boss eyed bloke off Dragon’s Den? Nathan Baker, full back or bloke from Thor with shorter hair and no beard? Any other lookalikes you can think of from either yours or our team? The game is more and more about managers and styles these days. So let’s say Brendan Rodgers v Paul Lambert were to have a Mortal Kombat style fight. Which one is most likely to throw sand in the eyes and kick his opponent in the family jewels to get the win and why? And finally, your realistic and honest predictions for the score. Thanks again for your help, it’s much appreciated. Once the article is up and running on the site, I’ll send you a link for you to have a read if you would like. Cheers, Sean Thanks and good luck for the game and for the remainder of the season.

Hi All Villans, Scouser coming in peace! Firstly, congratulations on wiping that twitching smile of Droopy Jaws yesterday! Fantastic result for you. I'm from Red And White Kop, the biggest Liverpool independent fan forum. I'm not here on a wind up or as a troll, just to ask a favour from some fellow football fans. We do an article before every match called "The Spyin' Kop" where we ask a few of our opponent's supporters to answer some questions about the up and coming match. It's just a good way to get a bit of hopefully humourous and honest dialogue between the real people behind the club; the supporters. Once the mods have given me permission to post the article and questions, I'd really appreciate it if a couple of you could take the time to answer some or all of them and give your permission for me to publish your answers on our website. I'll then compile it into an article and will publish the link for you to have a look at. Take care Sean.
