Especially when the other teams fighting for 4th spot are just as inconsistent? Theatre of dreams = dreaming about losing to Man City these days?

Liverpool tries their best. Regardless of how the result influences the league table. I recall in the mid-90s, Newcastle was managed by Kevin Keegan, a liverpool legend. Liverpool beat Newcastle 4-3 on 2 occasions. These 2 defeats helped Man U win the title. Liverpool never kelong even though the Liverpool - Man U rivalry is strong then.

Actually when did the Liverpool - Man U rivalry begin? In the 80s, our main rivals were Arsenal and Everton. Man U was just a mid-table team then. Something like Everton is today. The Liverpool - Man U matches were nothing extraordinary then. It is only when Alex Ferguson became the manager that Liverpool and Man U fans become bigger rivals. Alex Ferguson wanted to overtake our total titles won. Other than that, why should both sets of fans dislike one another? I support my team, you support yours. Life was simpler then.

All these talk about getting your team to throw a match away is just bullshit. Why will a true fan not want their team to win? Does it mean there are Man U fans waking up at 3 am tomorrow to watch Man U hopefully lose?

I am not bothered or interested by what they say... All I am interested is manure to get a result tonight in Liverpool's favour! YNWA
