It's been a nickname for as long as I can remember. The Redmen and the Blue noses.

Why are Liverpool fans so weird?

I pondered that but if it has been then it's a bit of a 'Boleyn Ground', in that it seems to only have become widely adopted more recently - perhaps to add a tinge of supposed authenticity
They've always been just The Reds as far back as I can remember, which is the mid seventies.

Bluenoses has always meant Birmingham supporters (as opposed to the team) to me.Last edited by Ray de Galles; 14-05-2019, 16:20.

looking at the twitter feeds of Tariq panja, Ewan McKenna and Rory Smith, it would seem that there are a lot of Man city fans out there who have seen the best efforts of the wilder edges of LFC fan culture, and have decided that what they lack in numbers, they can make up for in quality, enthusiasm, and unhinged unbridled madness.

There are no shares in FSG.
It is an LLC.
If the Times' corporate parent had a membership interest at one point, it was almost certainly due to the fact that that entity also controlled the Boston Globe (which John Henry now owns outside of FSG). The members of FSG are primarily super-rich finance types from Boston.Last edited by ursus arctos; 14-05-2019, 17:54.

No he's not persona non grata. I'd just never start a fight with him.
Meanwhile I'm sure that by now every Liverpool fan with access to the internet has seen a video of the man city squad singing their version of that weird Allez allez song that liverpool. sing.
The lyrics for the song are
"All the way to Kiev, To end up in defeat,
Crying in the stands, and battered in the street.
Kompany injured salah, victims of it all.
Sterling won the double, The Scousers won fuck all."
Man city have sent out an email to all journalists politely suggesting that they are preparing to take legal action, if anyone suggests that the song refers to the stabbing of sean Cox or Hillsborough. I think that horse may have bolted.
I see that Man City are going to be taking the Denis O'Brien approach to public relations. I look forward to seeing how this strategy of winning hearts through an aggressive legal defence of their rights at every opportunity works out for them.

Getting the tram back from the derby at their place last season, I heard some city fans talking about how they hate Liverpool as much as they hate United now. I was naturally appalled at this, but it seems that they've not taken well to having that can of strawberry Rekorderlig thrown at their team coach that time. This rivalry is brewing up nicely.
It does seem odd that City players should sing such a song a few weeks before Liverpool play in yet another CL final while they got knocked out in the quarters again, but there you go. They may have an impressive business structure in place, but it seems you can't stop footballers from being fucking idiots.
(Gary Neville tweeted a version of the Allez Allez song that, thankfully, hasn't taken off at OT. It's possibly because it's too complicated compared to blindly chanting Ole Ole Ole or 20 Times 20 Times Man United, but who cares.
They thought they'd conquered Europe
They thought they'd made it 6
Along came Gareth Bale
He made them look like dicks
26th of May
Forever in our hearts
United won the treble
The Scousers fell apart...
It's great that I don't need to worry about Ander Herrera singing this because he's leaving and we;;ll not win anything for years. I'm not sure my spine would take the cringing)

Never forget Berba that the Plain People of Ireland kept awarding DoB squllions in damages, usually against the advice of judges. Sure, he earned his money, worked for it didn't he?

The weirdest thing about them singing that song, (apart from the classlessness of it) is that they're all going to go off to their national sides soon where they're supposed to be mates. Can you imagine the conversation between Henderson and Stirling or Foden? Or Milner slowly and calmly twisting Walker's head off his shoulders while discussing the ironing?
