Yes we have been the occasional pain in the arse to the buggers, but it's not enough! My loathing of LFC is pretty superficial. It is based on four decades plus of being surrounded by gobby armchair Liverpool fans. I have a number of very good mates who are season ticket holders, and I enjoy a proper bantering relationship with them. There are 6 coming with me on the train tomorrow, and we'll have a laugh, and the banter on the train will be good, as ever, as Liverpool's travelling support are a very knowledgable lot who enjoy a laugh. The thing I will hate if we lose will be the smirky "Eh, lah,we screwed you lot big time" from some prick in the local shops who would struggle to name more than 3 Liverpool players! Like Man U, Liverpool have so many telly fans who know sod all.
As for ex-players, I have always taken a passing interest, but once they're gone they're gone. I was pleased to see Mane do well; I'm delighted for Oxo that he's found his mojo again after all those crap years at Arsenal.
Lovren, Van Dijk et al will get a broadside of abuse from me if they take out one of our players. I always boo the opposition in these circumstances, and tomorrow will be no different. Booing ex-players, even those who behaved like petulant children when with us, isn't for me.
