This is the thing though mate! WE DO!!

Like it or not Liverpool are the most successfull English team ever. Rival fans argue that its all in the past but it doesnt disguise the fact that we have won more than most. And this is the problem - we, the fans, expect Liverpool to be competing for if not winning the league title and European honours. It hurts that a club with a great history and pedigree both at home and in Europe is in such a state and we are finishing 30 points off the champions.

So I think we did have the right to ask for more off Houllier and unfortunatley because he couldnt deliver he paid the ultimate price!

we were one of the best teams in the world too (leeds: 65-75) and more recently we reached 2 european semi-finals, and looked like we were going to become a real force in european football. a couple years later we find ourselves battling for existence at the bottom of the table, all before finding ourselves playing nationwide football next season. that fall from grace isnt easy to take, believe me. when we were getting hammered off the likes of leicester, portsmouth our fans still got behind the team, all season our fans got behind the team. yet when liverpool draw against a top 5 side the fans turn on the team. i think the liverpool fans need to start realising how lucky they are. your playing champions league football next season! the way the fans turn on the team/manager is pathetic. to be honest, liverpool supporters are probably the worst in the country.
