Anyone moaning about Livermore go suck a bag of dicks.
There's some serious zoomers on this forum. Some of the comments in match threads beggar belief and today is no different.
If you feel you "hate" any of our players, think they are betting against us (like some posters do), or don't understand that we can't win every match 5-0, please do me a favour and fuck right off and kill yourself.
I personally have no issue with a debate around the merits of certain players, or around the performance of the team, but some of you fuckers just need to chill out a bit.
First league defeat in months, just pumped Inter 3-0 and now a narrow defeat at Anfield. Never had it so good, you shower of glory hunting cunts.

This is how they'll feel on Sunday...
That would be the same West Brom who have beaten them 3-0 and 2-0 this season.
Deluded.Bunch.Of.Fucks.
Had we won today it would've been a huge win. Massive. Liverpool are still a top 8 side, probably a top 6 side, with some very good players. We were the better side and lost as a result of two brain spasms and that shit happens. Move on. It's our only defeat in thirteen games, we're still third, and still 4 points ahead of Woolwich even if they win their game in hand. At the start of the year we were looking at this as a transition year as we adjusted to the losses of King, Modric, VDV and Redknapp, and yet we're in a better position than we were this time last year, when Redknapp was being called the messiah. Had Lennon been fit I have little doubt we would've swept the Bin Dippers aside, which is thoroughly encouraging for our run in.
Oh come on mate. We're still in third.
I swear that, in some respects, a good run is a curse on some Spurs fans. They expect every single game to be won until we lift the title.
We're still in a great position, and, unless there really is a God and he's having a great big laugh at our expense, then we can't possibly throw it away like we did last year.
Positive thinking please.
ME WANT UNBEATEN!!! ME WANT UNBEATEN FOREVER!!! WAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
