Amazing article (like the others). Gerrard has been Captain Fantastic for Liverpool. Hopefully, next year, Liverpool will return his loyalty with trophies for him to preserve.

well, i don’t agree with you Patrick. I think being a fan also involves beig criticak of the team. You can’t be oblivious to your team’s faults, can you? Liverpool is suffering. This doesn’t make us Liverpool’s fans any lesser. We would just want the team to start playing like it’s formal self

Thanks Jeff. Oh, I have no idea. It really depends on the route Dalglish decides to take this summer. Will it be same old Dalglish with the British players, or have Liverpool already established a British-enough core to start looking abroad for established European players and/or bargains? I hope it’ll be the latter. But I wouldn’t complain if it’s Adam Johnson that we sign.

One of my articles on Bleacher Report touches on a few Bosman signings that will be available this summer. Wouldn’t be a bad place to start at all: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1092570-liverpool-fc-7-free-transfer-options-for-the-reds

Great Article first of all.. But who would you think to be some new signings for the next season if afforded to King Kenny?

Comment on On Luis Suarez’s Racism Row by Vince Siu

Is it fair or blinded to say that I hold the same logical standards for everyone I come across, family or not? Just because they’re in my “family” wouldn’t exempt them of a logical examination of events. The outcome of the Suarez incident is whatever we all make of it, but I wasn’t happy with the way the whole thing was handled.

As for unconditional love – there’s no such thing as unconditional. If you (as in royal you) do something in a way that betrays what you stand for (hence, a willingness to accept mediocrity, giving up and making lame excuses), then there’s no reason for me to keep sticking up for you, because you’re not sticking up for yourself. So a midtable finish or anything lower is absolutely unacceptable.

Of course, these are my own thoughts, and they shouldn’t be misconstrued to mean that I’m a glory hunter – after all, especially for a 20-something like me, Liverpool aren’t a very glorious club in this period of history, are we? I thank you for sharing your views in this discussion, but please don’t resort to petty personal attacks. Because you’d be betraying your “family” by attacking each other as well.

If that was your family accused of something, would you trash them in articles? You don’t get it Liverpool are a family and we stick together. We don’t denounce our support at the first sight of trouble, no, it’s Unconditional love. Liverpool could be sent to the championship and we wouldn’t love them any less, were as you would most likely go follow a different team with a new shiny Torres playing for them. By calling us “narrow-minded people” you betrayed the family.

So you’re saying that being a Liverpool fan means having to blindingly shut out the opinions of fans of other football clubs, especially if – God forbid – it’s United they support? I’d say that I’m the one who doesn’t want you on my side, but that’d be too blinkered.

I’d say that only a diehard would be able to afford the emotional reactions to Liverpool’s current form as I have – but I can agree to disagree.

You know when two United fans are agreeing with you, you’re talking garbage right?! And why wouldn’t they agree with you, you’re calling Liverpool fans “narrow-minded people”
What a disgrace you are Vince Siu. Don’t bother calling yourself a Liverpool fan, we don’t want your support, I don’t think any team deserves your blinkered support.
