Why are Liverpool fans so weird?

[Nocturnal Submission]

I was having lunch with work colleagues a while ago when a young Charlton fan started to have a bit of a good-natured pop at those supporters of the BRCs from many miles away, "like Manchester United fans from, oh, Torquay" he said, innocently plucking a place from thin air but nevertheless rather embarrassing the Manchester United fan from Torquay who was sitting with us.

Where is poor Gerard Houllier in that banner?

[Rogin the Armchair fan]

I thought that. Houllier won five trophies in a year.

[The Awesome Berbaslug!!!]

never mind that nonsense, he did win a european trophy though, and he did nearly die during a match.

[Lang Spoon]

Aye but the football was pure muck. Benitez seemed like Rinus Michels compared to the lump it to Heskey to knock down to Owen/Baros show of Late Period Houllier.

That manager banner is airbrushing a lot of history between Dalglish and Klopp. I am of course presuming that it's younger title winning Kenny and not older racist sympathising Kenny.

Does Sun columnist Souness not get a shout out then?

[Guy Profumo]

"Racist" Sir Kenneth Mathieson Dalglish MBE?

Is this about the Suarez thing?

Then it's racist apologia, and guilt by association, surely?

[Sean of the Shed]

Or, as I put, sympathising.

The Hypheneers are splinters.

I've no idea about any of that. I just think that it's a shame people seem to have stopped using hyphens, as they aid meaning.

[Sean of the Shed]

Probably because you have a hyphen first key on a computer keyboard but not a phone keyboard, so it tends to get neglected.

[DCI Harry Batt]

Good point.

I'm that old and decrepit I can remember to-morrow rather than tomorrow.

Looks like one of them might have precipitated a bit of a goalkeeping crisis: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/49369915

Klopp says that fans are running on to the pitch too often and setting a bad example to others, well Jurgen, maybe if you stop doing it they will as well.

Good Christ,

That's quite something. It'd be a bit over the top for an 8-year-old boy's bedroom. Ideal for someone who's always dreamed of living in the LFC club shop

[treibeis]

If I were to ever kidnap somebody, that would be my hide-out. One video of that place to the victim's family and they'd pay double what you were asking for immediately.

I'm afraid that isn't at all unusual by North American "man cave" standards

[Kevin S]

A single man refers to his apartment as a 'cave' and wonders why no-one wants to go home with him?

[The Awesome Berbaslug!!!]

This sort of video is popular in the gaming community where youtubers walk people through the customized player homes they have built in the game. It really needs a voice-over to say and "that is the chest where I keep the magic armours" or such.

Isn't a man cave typically part of a much larger house, or do you get it taking over an entire small duplex?

[Nocturnal Submission]

I haven't even got a man drawer, let alone a man cupboard.
