Why do I hate Liverpool so much?
I have a good friend who thinks that I'm a Manches
I have a good friend who thinks that I'm a Manchester United hater but this just isn't true. I only have room for enough hate for two teams in my life, one of them unsurprisingly is Southampton but more importantly there is Liverpool...
The fans seem to have a bloated sense of importance. The team haven't won the league since before the Premiership started. I know they somehow won the Champions League three years ago but I still find myself shaking my head at that.
However last night summed up why I hate them so much. Liege were much the better side over the two games, of that there is little doubt, but Liverpool once again scraped through and did just enough. A goal deep, deep into extra time to grab the only goal of the tie to break the Belgian hearts.
Liverpool will now straight away be installed as the 6th or 7th favourites with the bookies depending on who you bet with and once more Liverpool fans will become insufferable with their crowing about how it is their year. Four games, one draw in Belgium, two domestic victories thanks to late goals and European qualification thanks to an even later winner.
Is this going to be Liverpool's year?
Quite simply put – No – but boy they'll think they are in the race for both European and Premiership glory until it is a mathematical impossibility.
