That's the one that was found at White Heart Lane isn't it? Not a good sign that their chucking them away seeing as they was only issued to a few people.

Gerrard is a great passer of the ball, or at least as good as any other English midfielder currently in my humble opinion. Although I think he's mainly in the team because he's a leader on the pitch and a good experienced head to have in the squad. Plus he's still capable of doing special things every now and again, and he adds goals and good set piece delivery to the team.

Gerrard was one of our best players in the Euros and his lack of pace isn't as exposed in the middle of the park as much as it would be in the heart of the defence. Also, as Gary Neville pointed out, Ferdinand's not been a first-team regular for years and there's little to be gained from bringing him back when he isn't going to first choice. Gerrard's also not had the chronic injury problems that Rio's had over the past few seasons.

The lads only 21 though, willing to give him time to prove himself.

How was that not a red card for the Udinese player i will never know

And Borini's done well tbf, was a good little analysis of his first half performance at half time.

Yeah we do seem to have a habit of getting into horribly petty arguments that end up a mile away from where it started. Especially me and Ninja

I blame jumberto. He's the bad egg.

Totally agree. Rodgers should get some credit for being brave enough to play them over Dalglish's big money flops but he didn't have anything to do with the youth team.

I'll get over it.

I had no idea what they were arguing about tbh, just had a quick glance at Ninja's long angry post and decided this wasn't for me.

Seriously? Do you really think that the group of United fans chanting about Liverpool fans always painting themselves as victims, on that particular day, had no idea how that would come across? Even if those chants stem from elsewhere, singing them at Anfield on that day was grossly inappropriate because it is frighteningly obvious how those chants could be interpreted. The fans who chanted that would have known that, anyone who heard that would have known that, and even you know that - unless you really are this tribalistic and ignorant, and truly believe that those chants were acceptable because they don't directly reference Hillsborough. Pathetic.

Right, this is my last post on this because if you don't agree with me then you're clearly being deliberately stubborn and obtuse.

You are telling me there is absolutely no way somebody can be offended by what was sung? You're saying there is categorically no way that somebody can attribute that song to being as about Hillsborough? Absolute zero way you could interpret it that way? Because if you can then the interpretation is not wrong, and being offended by it isn't wrong. You even say it here:

You're contradicting yourself. You agree that you could interpret that song as having references to Hillsborough and that singing that song on that day was bad? THAT IS THE ENTIRE POINT.

I'M COMPLAINING ABOUT BOTH.

BOTH FIT. BOTH SOUND LIKE THEY'RE ABOUT HILLSBOROUGH. BOTH COULD BE OFFENSIVE TO PEOPLE. WHY ARE YOU BEING SO AWKWARD?!

ARRGGGHH.

The fact that's its not DIRECTLY referring to Hillsborough is irrelevant. Can you not see how the average person who heard that United fans had sung 'always the victim, its never your fault' followed by 'murderers!' on the day that the Hillsborough victims were being remembered would think that was a bad thing to do? Its not bloody difficult to understand.

*smacks head on desk*

I'm getting really bored of this now, but I think its pretty fucking obvious why people would be offended at that song being sung on THAT SPECIFIC DAY. That's the reason its being highlighted and that's the reason its being talked about. That's not hard to comprehend.

Its also incredibly boring hearing 'look at these stupid comments by Liverpool fans! your club is forcing your fans to be stupid by feeding you conspiracy theories and false assumptions!!'. No, its just that as a big club there's going to a fair share of idiot fans who like to think everybody hates them. They are also the select few fans that go on the internet to tell everybody this.

You just answered your own bloody question

Yes, that's why singing it makes it even more moronic.

EDIT: I don't give a shit if United fans want to sing that song at OT or wherever from now on, but singing that at Anfield on Sunday specifically and then claiming its got nothing to do with Hillsborough was not on. I'm just pointing out it happened, and I'm glad that it was reported and shown to people.

There's always going to be shitty songs aimed at people, that's just football, but it clearly does have undertones towards Hillsborough, and just because its actually about Suarez it doesn't make it alright.
