Liverpool has questionably the most passionate support for any football club in the world. Knowledgable, humourous, and patient. Passionate, vocal, and honest. These are some fo the attributes a typical Liverpool fan has. Talk to any Liverpool fan anywhere in the world and you'll immediately realise that supporting Liverpool is a religion. Whether it's at Anfield, away from home in the UK or far afield in Europe the fans always do their best to get the best out of the team. Constant support and acknowledgment that things are going well will filter through to the players, and their confidence will no doubt be bolstered with he support of the fans. Liverpool fans give the team an extra 10% over the opponents and will surely be singing "Champions" in May 2003.

apparently these fans were a disgrace against Spurs.. accordiig to some Tottenham fans i know... they didn't sing much...and on the whole it was a VERY quiet atmosphere...
btw..the real knowledgable ones from Merseyside, support Everton....

No. They support Tranmere.
Nate isn't sure of anything anymore - he's making it up as he goes, trying to wriggle out of it all because he's the one starting to look like a dick.
Whatever was wrong with Murt looking on the positives of not being the Premiership leaders at this stage, even given I am addressing a Liverpool fan?
It is common knowledge that teams who sit atop the Premiership at this stage in the season or earlier/later, do not necessarily stay there because of a number of factors. Remember Aston Villa and Arsenal in the recent past?
The team in that position has more pressure - every team is gunning for them, and while some teams have thrived on the pressure (Manchester United for much of the 90s, Arsenal last year), being top at this stage of the season is not necessarily going to be handled well by all teams.
I find the tone of some of the Liverpool supporters in this thread to be childish (not referring to davo who has a sense of humour), especially as I personally have no time for the `You`re shite/stupid/crap` etc lines of argument.
I like Gerard Houllier and I think the work he has put in at Liverpool is bearing fruit. He has also been a shrewder buyer of players than Sir Alex if we honestly compare what he has got (the likes of Hypia) for bargain prices.
But whether Liverpool`s current position is really a herald of success or just another false title dawn at Anfield remains to be seen.

Well,Giggsgirl,always a pleasure to read your balanced and thoughtful comments.Not bad for a Manc !!
There will be ups and downs all season,I think ,and it could be even closer than last year.The one thing I'm sure off is that the title will end up at either Highbury (that'd be nice again,) or Anfield (Shurely shome mishtake,hick, <img src="graemlins/houllier.gif" border="0" alt="[Houllier]" /> )
So the Scousers are currently making the running....so what......I'd like to know how often an early leader still went on to win the title....not as often as you might think !!
I find it pathetic the way 'Other Red' had come onto this site to basically stir up trouble. Do you think a United fan would get away with it on Krap Talk!
all talk of winning the league in october is frankly insane.
anything whatsoever could happen between now and may, so to talk of having it won and your rivals being "finished" when november has not even arrived is lunacy.
if liverpool are still 4 points clear with every team having 1 game left to play, i will start to celebrate, and not before.

Hoolypops really isnt getting the hang of the phycological warefare is he. Babblin idiot!
From Sky:
He said: "Mentally we are more equipped than last season to last the course. We know how to seize the opportunities now. Good teams learn fast.
"The most important thing is we're learning from the past. We're more consistent now, more than last season. I know why - but I won't tell you."
Mad as a balloon that bloke. Its a bit wierd seeing the Poo on top of the Prem, but let them have their fun I say. Normal service will be resumed soon enough.
Bless em for trying eh

took you 26 years last time.
So the bindippers are going to be champions?
well you are 8 pts. clear of Utd.
BUT WHO HAVE YOU PLAYED THIS SEASON !!
Chelsea ...did not deserve to win that one.
Spurs ..1-1 when the prick went in on the boy wonder when he did not need to make the tackle.
Bolton last minute winner ,a Bolton fan i know told me after the game you would have no chance v. Valencia 2-0 I think.
All teams need a bit of luck now and again lets hope you have used yours up.
By the way wer'nt Villa top of the league this time last year <img src="graemlins/yawn.gif" border="0" alt="[Yawn]" /> <img src="graemlins/yawn.gif" border="0" alt="[Yawn]" /> <img src="graemlins/yawn.gif" border="0" alt="[Yawn]" />

From on here! Where'd you think
I support liverpool and this lad is talking shite. Man Utd are hardly in decline and have suffered alot of injuries this year explains a slow start while we have been lucky in many games spurs and leeds to name a few and been steady which explains a 4 point lead in the PL. But united are showing in Europe where we arent which is the true test of class which to be honest we have shown nothing in!!! Your right nothing is won in October and good teams just dont get bad overnight. Also the reason liverpool fell apart in 1992 was the sale of Houghton, Staunton and the appointment of Souness!!!
