Liverpool comes from the French word Livrée meaning to trade. Liverpool meant trading pool or harbour. <ok>

As well as meaning 'to trade' the French word 'livre' also refers to a unit of mass (from the Latin 'libre') which corresponds with our weight of a pound (hence lb).

So in effect Liverpool means the Place or Land of the Pound, or in today's parlance Poundland

<laugh> Don't think they were around in Medieval times - I could be wrong ......
 
Who can blame him after what they did or did not do with some of our fans on New Years Day.

It was local scallies who did the coach, not Liverpool supporters - disgraceful whoever did it of course, they deserve locking up - but not Liverpool fans <ok>

The stabbing was an organised ruck - allegedly.

So is it just coincidence that the Liver bird on the liver building is named after the seaweed in its mouth?

Livre actually translates to book - we are a studious people.

The Liver bird holds a piece of broom in it's mouth, broom being a symbol of the royal family of Plantagenet of King John who granted the city it's charter.

The first use of the bird shows your version's wrong. In 1668 the Earl of Derby gave the town council a mace "engraved with ...a leaver", the first known reference to a liver bird by this name.

Stop these fanciful notions and delusions, your town's named after seaweed and a dead bod, just be told lad.

The British Museum disagree!

How do you know they're not local scallies who are also Liverpool fans? Have you established which football team they all support?

Why you want to pin it on Liverpool fans is beyond me and a bit sad tbh.

There's a gang attacking coaches in the area around Goodison and Anfield, I'm pretty sure they're not EFC and LFC fans taking turns - although one was seen in a yellow and black striped top - ring any bells?

I didnt pin anything on anyone. I didnt even accuse anyone of anything. You categorically stated they werent Liverpool fans and I wondered how you could possibly know this? Id love to know the methodology undertaken to determine the perpetrators.

Try being a Hull City fan. Anything occurring within 10 miles of the stadium on a match day, even hours later, is down to football fans. Coaches being bricked after rugby matches is not rugby fans but City fans with nothing to do. Trouble at rugby matches is not rugby fans but football fans supposedly latching onto rugby as the police are on top of things at football.

Scallies-sounds so picturesque and reminiscent of Mersey Beat and the swinging 1960s. Cheeky, irreverent, full of humour scousers. Over here we call them yobs or cowardly thugs.

It's called arrest and question <ok>
