If cliches weren't invented rawk wouldn't exist and if mawkish sentimentality was abolished the club would go into administration. The scientific theorem linking their club to the crazies running N.Korea is irrefutable.

LFC = Rawk = no opposing view = N. Korea.

Proof positive.:smirk:

Nah, the analogy falls away if you take it to that level.

In North Korea, the people say insane things because they want to please the Dear Leader. With Liverpool, Rogers says insane things because he wants to please the peope.

If u don't like us or a player keep it to your self because people who actually come on this page support them, an to be honest I don't care what ur opinion is all I no is that we support Liverpool so don't like someone don't comment on a picture or anythink, u all must be jealous the people who do that. I mean if u don't like r page DONT GO ON IT! Ur going to be staring at Liverpool pics so there's no point dahh?!

They have a thread on there called 'we go again, again' which contains insights such as;

I really hope this 'we go again' nonsense doesn't last. It's nearly as cringey as that tralala song. Nearly.

You'd think it would only serve as a reminder to the fact that they threw everything away in the aftermath of that little speech. Bizarre they're so infatuated with it.

England's most successful team that hasn't won their own league since 1990.

Oh right....I forgot about those famous 2nd place finishes.

I imagine they had a double pic of Suarez and Gerrard on the first proof read a month ago, wonder why they didn't swap in a Ricky Lambert for Suarez ???

Being really imaginative positioning halos above their bonces indicating sainthood would have been a great tribute to the supplier of players for this tour - Southampton FC.

Team is singular. Should be: "is visiting the USA".

Poor.

A collective noun such as 'team' can be singular or plural so are/is can be interchangeable to some extent. For example, it would be acceptable to say 'Manchester United are a team that play in England'. Similarly, the phraseology on the Liverpool poster is acceptable.

Are they seriously claiming to be Englands most successful team? I think there is one team who is above them.

I am sure America is going crazy at the prospect of Steven Gerrard coming to visit.

The 5 European Cup thing gives a degree of licence in that regard.

Not total trophies won, then?

Why pick the 5 European Cups?

Why not the English league titles since its claiming the most dictation team in England and not Europe?

Because they're using 'in England' to mean 'out of all the teams located in England' rather than 'the best in English league football'. Otherwise, they would have to concede that they're behind us.

Just seen this regarding our interest in Vidal
Chilean media reporting that United have asked for Vidal's medical records from the national team regarding his knee - obviously with Vidal's authorisation.
Surely that's real dickhead behaviour? Cutting out Juventus like that seems completely disrespectful. Wouldn't be surprised if this killed any potential deal.

Due Diligence is dickhead behaviour? Any club with concerns about a future players fitness will get all the available information from everyone that works with the player.

Not looking forward to watching United next season. Not because I think they'll be hugely successful but I just think they're going to be very much another Chelsea, with a well-disciplined back line and keeping 10 men behind the ball and waiting for the opposition/the referee to make a mistake and take advantage.

For me the absolute best thing about our current manager is that he manages to get results without doing this - it makes the wins twice as enjoyable.

True, but I still think from an etymological standpoint it's grammatically incorrect. I'm pretty sure every other language, at least European language, would use the third-person singular when it comes to team. For example, "L'equipe est ...", not "L'equipe sont ... ". Then again, I could be completely and utterly wrong.

Either way, the way it's written on the poster doesn't quite read right.
