    Home crowd - if this doesn't stir you, nothing will.

    Seen this posted on RAWK, brilliant. Thought I'd share it with you all.

    Straight cut 'n' paste.



    It's May 2009 in the Cat and Fiddle pub on Stanley Road, Bootle.
    Two fella’s are sitting at a table motionless, staring into their pints,
    Refusing to acknowledge what is being beamed out
    to the world on the Big Screen in the corner.

    "Thought you'd have gone to West Brom lad"

    "Nah, couldn't be arsed mate, i'm fed up with it……….
    I never thought i'd see this day when these cunts
    equal our League Title's record."

    The screen in the pub is showing footage of
    Manchester United players running round the pitch
    with the Premier League trophy, the fans delirious
    knowing that they have finally ended Liverpool FC's
    reign as the team to have won the most league titles.

    "Sickener innit? You know our problem don't ye lad,
    too many draws, look back to the likes of Stoke and Portsmouth
    at home? The week before Stoke, we beat Man U,
    the game before Portsmouth, we beat Chelsea away,
    and then we go and draw against them ****e teams."

    "Tellin' ye...the team and the crowd are just not up for it
    in them lesser league games, and we'll never mount a decent title challenge
    until both the team and the supporters go into
    these games and give it their all.....I just wish I could turn back the clock
    to October 2008 when we'd just beaten Chelsea and we're sittin at the top of the Prem.
    I'd do absolutely everything that I possibly could to drill it into our players
    hearts that it was our year. And if we, the supporters, believe in them
    and could transfer that belief from the terraces and into their
    minds…then we would've done it. We'd've stopped this ****ing nightmare!
    We’d beaten the best, we just had to then beat the rest.”

    “I know mate, I know….can’t turn back the time though can we. Just got to focus
    on next season now, see who we buy in the summer, and then hope we
    mount a decent challenge…..aaaah who am I kidding?
    We’re always out of the title race by January…can’t see that ever changing….”

    The two fella’s gulp down the last of their pints and shuffle
    out onto the street, Sky Sports is now showing footage of the Man U
    game, “Beautiful Day” by U2 accompanying the celebratory scenes at the end...


    …then, the music stops,

    And you realize that it’s not May, it’s not 2009, it’s October 2008.
    You’ve got your wish. The time has been turned back and you’ve
    got that second chance to make a difference.

    So what are you going to do with it?

    Cos I don’t wanna be sitting there watching those cunts
    run round whatever pitch they clinch it with their 18th League Title…**** THAT!

    We know we, the supporters, can make a difference.
    I’m not arrogant enough to suggest we’ve won games ourselves
    (ok, maybe the Chelsea semi 2005 like) but we DEFFO make a difference.

    So as long as we do our bit off the pitch,
    We might not be watching them horrible ****s celebrating their
    18th League Title come May 2009.

    Singing, flags, banners, getting’ in the ground a bit early etc. Sound. No problemo.

    What about something different though,

    What time does our Team’s Coach arrive?

    What about a proper mob of die-hard Redmen waiting on Anfield Road
    for the Team Bus to turn up. That could give them a bit of an edge,
    seeing a load of contorted faces, clenched fists and banging on the
    side of the coach instead of a gang of blerts with Anfield Arnie Autograph books.

    Some of our younguns could get down to Melwood the training session before a game,
    let the cunts know that WE mean business and we DEMAND them to mean it too.

    Things like, if ye see Riera doing a bit of shopping in the Allerton Tesco,
    Don’t blimp his trolley to see what scran he’s just bought,
    Grab the cunt by the ****ing throat and scream down his ear
    How important it is that we beat Fulham this Satdee!

    Cos ye know what la, I’d hate to be watching that shower of *******s with number 18,
    knowing in the back of me mind that there was something more
    I could’ve done to prevent the horror show of what we’d be witnessing.

    Oh and just to re-iterate, man u could be winning their 18th League Title in May 2009.

    MAKE A DIFFERENCE

    I know we won but it didn't exactly work, did it. Sounded like a pretty tame atmosphere again.

          Got to admire their efforts though, that's a well thought out piece. Who ever it is, I hope they keep trying.

              does anyone have a link to a piece last year by someone repeating "it's on isn't it"
              similar kind of tone to this and was well worth a read

                Yeah but you gotta bare in mind that the weather doesnt help. I was gutted that i couldnt get a ticket for tonight but when i woke up today i was sort of relieved that i wouldnt be driving all the way to pool to stand in the freezing cold whilst our patched up team beats Pompey.

                People say out of towners don't contribute to the atmosphere yet i know i do lot more when im there than alot of the local fans

                The only thing that pisses me off is that unless im in the Kop im not allowed to stand at all so it makes it damn near impossible to get an atmosphere going. If i sit anywhere else some us will stand up and try to encourage others to get up and make some noise but some boring cunts behind me will always tell us to sit down

                  Happens pretty much everywhere in the ground these days sadly, apart from the Annie Road...in my experience anyway. I don't think the atmosphere will ever return to what it was on a regular basis - but it's obviously not just us. It's the same at every ground. A sad fact of modern-day football.

                      That's true but I hope if say after the xmas period we are 5 points clear that the supporters will be more up for it for the so called mundane games than what they are now.

                      With belief I think it will
                      Nah. He won't win the Prem. You can quote me on that. - Sarb24

                          How about we all arrange a Skype conference call and create our own atmosphere? Banter, swearing and cheering!
