KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Is it me or is there hatred against us?

I today look at the league table and see that we are on the same points as Spurs, above Villa and Everton. Yet we are the club in crisis with poor players all wanting to leave etc.Media claiming that current position is about right for us andprobably where we will finish.

Even today the Chelsea result is down to them missing Essien and Lampard. Yet when Torres and Gerrard are out it's 'you should not be so reliant on two players'.

Radio City pundits even claimed only 3 LFC players would get into the Everton side Reina,Torres, Gerrard how bizarre is that?. Whilst I am not a great fan of Roy I genuinaly thought that the back biting would cease with his arrival as he was a bit of a media darling.

Why is the mighty untouchable 'Arry not getting a pasting over their performances and results in the league? even Wenger is on back to back home defeats to newly promoted teams. Imagine if it was us?

maybe this is the way it will always be and we should circle our wagons and get on with it and IGNORE all press.

Roy even touched on press lies etc but has been put under the carpet by the main press.

Moan over

I think its because Liverpool footbal club had such a succesfull past people love sticking the boot in when things go wrong, a fallen giant type thing, Ive always believed that the papers tend to side with London clubs anyway.

Its always been the same mate, Over the years alot of people who weren't Liverpool fans envied are success and fanbase, and the whole Liverpool way.

So everyone tends too jump on the bandwagon to pile the pressure on us, plus on top of that we are natrualy expected too be ahead of spurs..everton..villa...and any other side like them, we have been for years so when the media and opposing fans think they say a demise at Liverpool they turn up the heat and push as hard as they can to make things get worse.

The media will be very dissapointed that Liverpool are out of the relegation zone and we beat chelsea.

THe fact that liverpool is such a big club with worldwide fans makes us a easy target for media. If we lose, its easy for them to point a finger at us while if spurs lose, they say, well spurs lost easy as that.

Pure Jealousy thats what
Everyone envies us, our club, our passion, our history,what we stand for.
Come on, we are the greatest football club ever - put that in your pipe and smoke it.

I think there is some, but it's weird how many fans from near enough all clubs think that there is an agenda against their club in the media. Fact is all journos and commentators have their favourites and their bias, some are pro us and some are anti us, same with the other clubs.

It's probably become fashionable to knock us but fact is we were just 19th not long ago, that does deserve abuse, whilst we've improved we showed larger worrying signs than spurs in getting to 15 points.

Best answer is to keep winning

They either hate our guts, or they give in and start supporting us. I bet Fergie wont get a good night's sleep either until he gets number 19, which in an ironic way we've just helped him by beating Chelsea.

That's nothing we can't sort out by giving them a hiding next time we play them.

i agree with the above

People love to rip on us due to our previous success.

Its just jealousy at the end of the day ... plain and simple.

Plus its very quite on the news front at the moment so they just fancying picking on us (nothing unusual)

We have kind of put ourselves in the spotlight with a very poor start to the season and now that we are recovering from it the tabloids arent happy.

They seemed a lot more cheerful when we were 19th.

Fk em tho ... we are LFC and with the right support and the right investment we will be champions again.

i have a friend (just the one friend) who is a REAL MADRID supporter and when every they f up i take the [oops] out of him but he always come back with the same argument. he says it doesnt matter what madrid do they will always be the NEWS because they are such a big club. if the papers write good things about madrid the pple will read it and if the write bad things pple will read it, madrid is news.
like madrid liverpool are a MASSIVE club and we sell papers. more pple will read a 10 line article on liverpool then read a whole page on tottenham, everton or villa.
you can look at it in a bad way and say the whole world is against us or you can take it as a compliment, it doesnt matter what we do liverpool is NEWS.
YOU NO WHAT THEY SAY, ANY NEWS IS GOOD NEWS
