April 29, 200718 yr My comment which I'll be quite astounded if the Daily Mail, a.k.a that sh*tty little rag, ever publish: Ian Ridley: "You ain’t got no history," sang Liverpool’s fans, brought up on stirring European nights that entitle them to sing that they’ve won it five times — and they are right.My comment: How ignorant are you Mr Ridley? If 102 years, numerous Cup Finals, both European and Domestic, several of which we actually WON, long before the Abramovitch era, equals no history in your opinion, then I suggest you buy yourself a new dictionary. Or get yourself some history lessons, and actually learn about the subject upon which you purport to have an opionion before shooting your ignorant, prejudiced, band-wagon jumping mouth off.

What irritates me more than their curious definition of history is the highly selective coverage of the Best Fans in the World. Ridley slips in the standard digs at our fans, how our atmosphere will never rival theirs and so forth. Yet I haven't found one mention in the news this week of the coin throwing incidents, the Scallies fighting amongst themselves or the alleged racist abuse to their own players. It's like there's a blanket ban on covering anything that damages their myth.
April 29, 200718 yr The man is total tosser and that article is just a joke. No history? Chelsea? Who have just celebrated their centenary of playing in the same stadium? Who were the first British team to qualify for Europe (before being denied permission by a short-sighted FA)? Who won a European trophy before Liverpool ever did? You expect bullsh*t like that from one-eyed fans of clubs jealous of our current success, but to read it from a 'Chief Football writer' is just pathetic. And a minor but significant point: the man mangles the English language (I used to teach English). And if it hadn?t have been so grim, is a non-existent tense. He means 'If it hadn't been so grim'. 'Hadn't have' doesn't exist.
