BOF Posted June 12, 2013 Moderator Share Posted June 12, 2013 I've seen a softening in their fans' attitude. The sane ones now accept that this current period is a necessary step if they're to try and bridge the gap. I expect they'll make progress next season and I think the fans will be happy with that. Don't mind the muppets. Every club has those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted June 12, 2013 Moderator Share Posted June 12, 2013 No you're not. He's often referred to as Brenton and there's even a test online to see if you can distinguish both of their sets of quotes from each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshVilla Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 (edited) I seen a few posts on the sky sports website in regards to an article about Suarez leaving "We should get 30 mill + Higuain from Real Madrid" Yes because Higuain is going to want to play for Liverpool he will be going to Arsenal a club in Europe. I'm surprised they haven't mentioned Cavani as a replacement yet Edited June 18, 2013 by AshVilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's understandable, they've not won anything in a while now. But their name still carries massive weight. I suspect Higuain will want CL football, but it's not as delusional as you think.

BOF Posted June 18, 2013 Moderator Share Posted June 18, 2013 DDID is right to an extent. The club still has far more sway than a typical 7th placed side does, but I think they would only carry more sway if they were competing with either 1) another side not in Europe or maybe 2) a side that are clearly not a perennial CL side like a Malaga for example.They'll always be a huge club historically, but it's 23 years since they won the league. Next year it'll be 24 and that'll mean that nigh on 50% of the league won't have been born the last time they won the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appointing Woy and then King Kenny was in retrospect a terrible decision, the latter heightening the first and setting the club back quite a long way. They needed to rebuild, but they didn't half get it horribly wrong. Arsenal haven't won anything for 8(?) years either. Yes they have champions league football but then, £150k > £100k. Should Liverpool wish to go down that road then their name is certainly big enough that it might sway a player like Higuain, someone young enough and talented enough to know that if it doesn't work out it won't be his last move. All that said, that particular player is going to Arsenal, or if Wenger had any sense left he should be, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Livepool did win it 8 years ago, but they'll need to start qualifying again before they can go shoulder to shoulder with someone like Arsenal. I would love Everton to stay ahead of them.Ficksed innit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshVilla Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 (edited) Sadly i think it will take something like Liverpool being relegated (won't happen) for that small vocal minority of fans which they have to lower their expectations Newcastle fans used to be the same way but they have actually woken up since they went down Edited June 18, 2013 by AshVilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
