Aye pretty pathetic stuff thought isn't it? i mean quietly hoping another side stops us fair enough but literally crying their hearts out in desperation at Chelseas failure??

Sounds a bit obsessive to me, especially considering they are cheering on such a plastic club like Chelsea, oh how the once mighty have fallen. :lol:

If you're wanting a laugh, you should check out this twat on twitter.

I feel dirty. I just cheered a Chelsea goal. And a John Terry goal at that. But they remain the best bet to stop #19.

Him and his followers have all gone into a state of mourning over Chelsea's demise.

I don't understand your disdain.

Utd fans on this board are always actively cheering on anyone who plays Liverpool.

to be fair Sam thats how football works. I cheer anyone on whos playing united unless united beating someone benefits City

Indeed.

You'll support Wigan when they play United, but I suspect you won't give a feck about them in their fixture against Newcastle today.

Liverpool fans support Chelsea every game they play (some even wanted Chelsea to beat Liverpool at Anfield earlier this season).

Massive difference.
 
There is a difference, Liverpool fans are cheering on Chelsea/Arsenal as if they were their own teams, being geniunely disappointed when they drop points.

We just laugh at Liverpool losing because of the rapid demise.

I hope you lose every game of course, the difference is i don't actively and passionately support other teams all in a cause that benefits nothing of my clubs, most scousers are now avid Chelsea fans! :lol:

A large seciont of Liverpool fans equally support Chelsea these days, look on RAWK, youd be hard pressed to tell who they supported, it sounds as if more were gutted about Chelsea not winning then happy their own team did, which says it all.

Liverpool scored a late winner yesterday, dont remember to many on here bawling their eyes out at it mind you.

scousers are strange though, they think shiney green lacoste tracksuits are smart.
 
In fairness to the dippers, if we were outside the title fight and they were leading a title challenge I would want the other sides to win the league and take more of an interest in their games. You naturally do if your team are not contenders. I wanted Arsenal to win the league in 89 and 91 when we were not contenders and I wanted Wimbledon and Everton to win the 88 and 89 cup finals. Thomas's winner for Arsenal in 89 when Dalglish played for a draw was brilliant:lol:

I would not display any disappoinment on an Internet message board and Tomkins can be laughed because Chelsea fecked up, but the actual issue of hoping another side wins the league over your team's biggest rivals is just an obvious state of affairs, I don't know why an issue is being made of it.

Liverpool fans don't want Utd to secure their 19th league title. Some obviously feel Chelsea is the best bet to stop them so are disappointed if they drop points.

If you don't think you lot would be the same if the boot was on the other foot, you are quite severely misguided.

How long have you supported Utd? My guess is post 1990 or so.
 
The reason for Liverpool supporters supporting Chelsea in their games (apart from against 'Pool) this season are obvious to the point of me not even needed to include it in this post.

I suspect the people getting smug here would do the exact same if roles were reversed.

Im 23 Sam, ive supported United ever since my dad took me to Old Trafford when i was 7 years old, quite what relevance that has here i dont know although im sure its got something to do with that famous scouse stereotype of 'football didnt exist before 1990 according to Utd fans'

And no actually, id NEVER lower myself to basically becoming a Chelsea fan just in order to hope Liverpool feck up, im a United supporter and thats it, dont try and divert the obvious embarrassment of the lengths scousers will go in the hope of stopping United.
 
If the roles were reversed I would want anyone but Liverpool to win it.

Read the post a couple above by Ole'sbodyguard. An older fan.

It's the way fierce rivalries work.

You have never known anything but success for Utd. And it shows.
 
I think it's funnier because it's Liverpool. Self-proclaimed best fans in the world, of the most successful club, being reduced to hoping a London team beats them at Anfield, so as to improve their chances of stopping United winning the title.

Whilst it's perfectly understandable to hope someone wins the title over United, the way Liverpool fans have actively supported Chelsea for a number of years (as they've been United's only rivals) hasn't helped them shake the tag.

If the roles were reversed I'd wager that this board would have a attitude similar to Tomkins.

The presence of this thread taking the piss out of a half of season of misery for LFC and the contributions of RAWKITES concerning Rafa is actually pretty strong evidence that would be the case as well as as all the other old Caf stuff. Half the threads in the football forum are taking the piss out of Liverpool and Rafa. I would not have it any other way personally.
 
Amazing how people care so much who Liverpool fans supporting today, do you care so much about them?

I think you'll find it's not Chelsea but anyone who has a reasonable chance of stopping Utd winning title after title! Be it Arsenal, City, Blackburn, Newcastle, Leeds or Chelsea. Or Leyton Orient.

The way you carry on, Red I would wager (heavily) you're another who has only known success for Utd.

There in my opinion is a difference between wanting a rival to lose and actively supporting another club week in week out as passionately as you would your own.

They are not doing this. If Chelsea continue to fall away, do you seriously believe Liverpool fans will still care if they win or not?

It's not Chelsea they (I) want to win the title. It's anyone but Utd.

edit: Obviously given Liverpool have no chance.

Which is fine and perfectly understandable, its just the lengths or should i say the passion in supporting these rivals to Utd where i feel a lot of your fans go way overboard, hope they win sure but my god some of the stuff on RAWK at times goes way beyond hope.

Im also probably not as ABL (anyone but Liverpool) as most scousers are ABU.

I think there's a big difference between supporting United's opponents week-in week-out, and actively throwing your support behind another team like Chelsea.

I was sympathising with you though. Chelsea have been our only challengers for a while, so your fans have been forced to support them, and have almost developed a bond with them over the last four or five seasons.

I think there'll probably be some Liverpool fans going to bed tonight thinking about how Chelsea can strengthen in the window to get back in the title race.
 
See nothing wrong with them 'supporting' Chelsea and co against us in the title race. And it's nowhere near as bad as some on here are suggesting. I still see a few in that thread who were having mixed feelings when Chelsea scored ("I hate terry" etc), there were some who had to laugh when they got pegged back and there are even a few who say it's pathetic people have become like Everton supporters and/or obsessed with us. That mix is exactly how I imagine this place would be were the roles reversed:

80% if not more 'supporting' their title rivals, 15% mixed feelings, 5% mocking the 80%.

Can't see Liverpool wanting City to win anything.

Vast majority would rather City won the title than Utd.

Saying that, City and their fans were an irrelevance until this season. This season you have a chance at the title. Good luck to you I say.

City fans hate Liverpool as much as united. Its a manchester - liverpool rivalry. Same as Everton, city and Everton don't really get on either

You must be a new fan supporting Liverpool, older fan would definitely know that. Smug Look

It's hardly the same as actively supporting another team throughout the whole season.

Liverpool fans, including yourself, have been proxy Chelsea fans for a while.

You simply have no idea what it's like to follow a team who won't be winning, when your rivals are always winning. Until you do, you won't understand.

I follow the SF Giants baseball team. We just won our first WS this year. But until that happened, watching the Los Angeles Dodgers not win or end up below us in the standings was as good as winning. It's what you do when your team is hopeless.

As someone who follows a team that always wins you simply have no idea.

I completely get why Liverpool followers would root for Chelsea. I would do the same.
