Klopp is not loveable at all. Not only United fans, all the Spurs/Arse/Chelsea etc fans I know hate him as well.
'hate'?

I would not expect rival fans to love him. But people seriously need to sort their priorities in life if they feel hate for Jürgen Klopp :D

He is certainly lovable (and likeable) to fans of Dortmund, Mainz and Liverpool, but it'd be strange if he wasn't.

Dave, a Liverpool supporter, asks why his club is not universally loved:

Yep, it's a mystery, Dave.
He’s pretty much nailed it since he fails to mention the fans, whose insufferability (is that a word? It is now!) is the main reason for the neutrals’ hate of Liverpool.

I'm obviously not disputing that.

His excuses, whining and cringeworthy sideline antics (chest beating etc.) have made him an unlikeable character for most.

Fine example of the anecdotal fallacy.

Regarding the question of how loveable Klopp is, I don't think there is any reliable measurements out there of how loveable any manager is. Klopp is however currently topping the transfermarkt popularity ranking among EPL managers quite comfortably. Most people on here liked him before he joined the EPL, and most people without any bitterness towards Liverpool probably like him still.

Nearly everyone who doesn't support LIverpool hates them though.

Also, have you seen our crowd gif?

It just dawned on me who that is in the middle.
It's Johnny Vegas's scouse brother, La(s).

I always feel the guy in the middle on the bottom is thinking "is there enough of a smell of cock off my fingers?..... nope... I'll easily sort that out!"

Yes, according to the Mail.

The Smith's were shite. Morrisey is a fecking dickhead and Marr was nowhere near as good as the people who bum up to him have you believe. There's nothing special about Jonny Marr's guitar playing. He's lauded for playing an E chord with a capo on the second fret and using a tremelo. Occasionally - instead of strumming a chord - he plays the individual notes. Wow, what a genius!

They also inspired a legion of absolute dickheads, walking around with NHS prescription glasses and flowers in their back pockets. "Let's go write a 19th century poem, and when we're finished, we can kick a beer can around a puddle and contemplate our Northern malaise". Nonsense.
Of all the stupid posts you have put on here that is the fecking emperor.

Are we having a 19/20 iteration or just expecting them to romp to the Title?
I’m really concerned about 19/20. A 3-peat is notoriously difficult, the rest of the top 6 don’t look any good, it’s even called 19-20. :(

No chance for them next season, VAR will be their undoing. They will finish a comfortable 2nd though sadly. All the clubs who could challenge City & Liverpool are in total disarray.

Yes, historically very difficult.

If I'm going to end up liking VAR though, that sounds a bit more promising.
