Liverpool

I hate Liverpool for all the obvious reasons. Yes they were winning everything during my formative years as a Red in the 70s and 80s but it is more than that.

My first visit to Anfield in the early 80s and despite only just being a teenager I felt threatened and intimidated by the whole experience.

We had no escort from the coaches, “have you got the time please mate” was a regular favourite to unmask us, all in all they were sly cowardice bastards.

The way Scousers make out that it was a sad minority who sang Munich songs prior to April 1989? Absolute bollocks, the whole ground sang and taunted us for years. People say we’re obsessed with them and act as if it’s all one way.

I remember two low life with a ‘Munich 58’ placard on the Richard and Judy set at Albert dock in the mid 80’s – and they say we’re obsessed?!
