Just like here but without the moderation
There are idiots on all football sites, including the Utd ones, Republik and Red Cafe
But if you want to laugh, try logging onto Blue Moon, it was hysterical on Sunday.
Or there is of course RAWK, which is just funny all the time.

Still funny - just read some of the comments.

Anyway, City seem to imploding after the defeat.
Joe Hart has fought back at Mancini's finger of blame.

Glory hunter? as a fan since 1974 I don't think so. Still have the program for the 77 FA cup final.

In fact would be truer to call most older Liverpool fans glory hunters as most became fans when they where the top team.

Seems a lot of the fans on there are ashamed of the behaviour and tarnished reputation from Sunday.

Just this once i'm going to give you a serious answer.

Yes, I started supporting them during the 74/75 season, when they were in the 2nd division. I don't actually remember them being relegated.
Always wanted to be Lou Macari or Stuart Pearson when we played in the park.

I can remember being distraught in 76 when we lost the FA cup to 2nd div Southampton, I had to go round a relatives to watch it in Colour TV.

When my Grandad got tickets for the 77 final I didn't really want to go, Liverpool were favourites, and on for the treble, it was my first live game, and what a way to be introduced to live football! The rest as they say is history.

Why Utd as I have lived in Essex all my life?
The honest answer is as simple as they played in Red, are the Red Devils, and it is my favourite colour!
No one else in my family watched football so there was not other influences.
Honestly as a kid I often wished I had supported Liverpool, like my younger brother, as they were winning everything.
But all those early years have made me enjoy our recent success all the more!.

As you would expect my kids are Utd fans, and have been taken to OT each year since they were old enough! 480 mile round trip, 12+ hours

As Macari was my favourite, I still like to think he scored, even if it was giving as a Greenoff goal.

The one thing about Sunday was if Valencia had been match fit rather than coming back from injury we would have stuffed them by 5 or 6. I lost count of the amount of times he was clear and rather than his usual sprint and cross he held the ball up and wanted to come inside.

Get match fit soon Ant

How does that work then? If it's "of all time", did they expect different results each time they asked?

Anyway, that's the closest Gerard will get to winning something this year... once again.

When Brendan Rodgers said he thought Liverpool could finish second I didn't realise he meant in every game.

Just watching the highlights (lowlights for Liverpool) of the match. They really are a pathetic excuse of their former selves.

The racist had a good match didn't he?

Stevie Gerrard - the best English player never to win the Premier League.
