NICE BIT OF HISTORY

Posted on: Sat 28 Nov 2009

 

History, dontcha love it?

 

Short of Arsenal being relegated there is nothing quite so delightful as seeing Liverpool knocked out of the Champions League.

 

In the group stage as well, and with one match still to play. A quick glance at the record books suggests this is a first for an English club - Man Utd hung on till the final group stage game in 2005 - so definitely a piece of a history there.

 

And funnily enough - as Motty used to tell Trevor Brooking - I think you'll find (heh heh) that Man Utd beat Debrecen twice that year too. You could call it a Hungarian Rhapsody.

 

£359 million in debt - give or take the odd £5 million. Exiled to Channel 5. Struggling to keep pace with Spurs... It doesn't get much funnier than this, and to add to the fun it seems they have to stick with Rafa Benitez because it would cost too much to pay him off.

 

I used to quite like Liverpool.

 

Bill Shankly was a character, Bob Paisley was a good man. And some of their best players seem to have a fondness for Chelsea - Alan Hansen and Kenny Dalglish usually have a good word to say for us, although that maybe because the Scousers can no longer compete with the Mancs.

 

But any residual respect has long gone because of their fans.

 

Talk about history...

 

These are the fans who literally got away with murder at the Heysel Stadium in 1985, and who two years ago went close to creating another Hillsborough tragedy in Athens.

 

These are the fans who scream to high heaven about Justice for Michael Shields but don't lift a finger to bring the true culprit to book. Evidently the Rule of Law only applies to other people.

 

To listen to them you'd think no one else had any 'history', particularly Chelsea.

 

Yet Liverpool's history isn't that glorious.

 

They were set up after a rent dispute with Everton, who originally played at Anfield. Initially the new club tried to call themselves Everton Athletic - they only became Liverpool when the FA refused to register the name.

 

For all the talk of their great fans, Liverpool's average crowd over the years is just 2,000 more than Chelsea's - and their biggest crowd, 61,905 back in 1952, is precisely 21,000 less than Chelsea's highest and puts them down at Number 18 in the all-time list.

 

'We never bought success' they claim, which is strange because the club owes its success almost entirely to the Moores family, best known for setting up the Littlewoods Organisation, once the largest privately-owned company in Britain.

 

Sir John Moores started off in gambling - Manchester born, he began by selling pools coupons outside Old Trafford in the 1920s - and later moved into the mail order and retail business.

 

In 1961 Moores and his family took control of Everton, and he started off by sacking their manager John Carey as the two men were in a taxi on the way to a meeting of the Football League in London.

 

But being a man who made his fortune from the pools, Moores decided to hedge his bets and also invested in Liverpool - which was how his nephew David, already club chairman, came to acquire a controlling stake after Sir John died in 1993.

 

As the scousers pet football expert Dr Rogan Taylor admits:

 

'Liverpool fans have a lot to be grateful for from him. He is passionate about the club and has put a lot of money into the team.'

 

As for that great European history, they have indeed won it five times, as they never cease to remind us: it being the Cup with Big Ears.

 

Yet Liverpool only won their first European trophy, the UEFA Cup, in 1973 - two years after Chelsea beat Real Madrid in Athens.

 

And when Chelsea became the first English club to qualify for the European Cup, back in 1955, Liverpool finished in eleventh place.

 

That's eleventh place in Division Two.

 

Avanti!

[RedinSweden]

Ridiculous.

[Lucky Pierre]

It's hard to know where to start with that. Wow.

[Red Nick]

Pretty emotive and confrontational points of view there, however if you werent a Liverpool fan you might agree with some of the points made.

[silverlining]

Amazing. I *can* hate Chelsea more.

[Xherdan]

Its called an Inferiority Complex.

[Trumo]

And the Headhunters helped old grannies crossed the street. Aye aye guv, sor'ed!

[old skool tom]

dont know why he'd bring up another clubs history like that? strange indeed

 

though he's got a fair point about athens.it was a fucking disgrace to see thousands get in with those blag tickets.every cunt who was a part of that needs to have their fucking head examined.

[Russ Atmosphere]

Not only beat us to a European trophy but also beat us to waterproof flags.

[House of Dirk]

Cuntface Cohen has got to be involved in this somewhere.

[RedinSweden]

After the debacle with that twat in the US, which this cunt is obviously aware of, it is obviously a wind up. I seem to remember chelsea coming out and condemning his views on Hillsborough and now they have this on their official website. It would be bad enough just on a normal site, but on their offal, it is appalling. He probably wants a shitstorm, but fuck it, give him one anyway.

[Liverpool lad]

'We had a bigger attendence than Liverpool'

 

Well done, but Everton had underground heating before all of us, and goal nets. Small time in the extreme when you resort to this, and even worse that the official site are now carrying it.

 

I was on a Blackburn forum yesterday, and again people were talking as though Rogan Taylor is the voice of Liverpool fans, neglecting to say what a lot of us really think of him. I hate it when we are all tarred with the same brush, because of the words of Rogan Taylor.

[WaltonRed]

I hope the club pull them on that

[Section_31]

Yet Liverpool's history isn't that glorious.

 

And with on sentence, all credibility dies anyway.

 

Even the most hard-core, dyed in the wool manc wouldn't come out with such nonesense. But then, you have to bear in mind that the average Chelsea fan is a peroni-drinking estate agent who's only been 'into footy' since 1995. He also gets the entirety of his football knowledge from the s*n's football pullout and from Ian Wright's column.

 

The majority of Chelsea fans are Thatcher's wet dream, this is why they tend to be horrible bastards with no concept of anything of any true worth, no idea of what football is all about, of what being a football fan is all about - save being a tool to belittle others and brag - or of where its roots come from.

 

They deserve pitty in a sense, because on the most fundamental level, the 'point' of football escapes them entirely - what's funny though - is that the great clubs of Europe, and their fans, all know it.

 

They turn up at the party, show everyone their watch, but nobody cares.

[Lucky Pierre]

'We had a bigger attendence than Liverpool'

I find it laughable that they reckon they've ever had 82,000 fans!

I like it

But in 1995 they weren't supporting Chelsea. It will have been the mancs or even Newcastle. I reckon 95 is too early. Euro 96 hadn't happened then.

[Redder Lurtz]

I think that bloke has a very small penis indeed.

[T0RRES]

ha ha ha ha thats such a good read I am going for a poo!!

[Unrighteous]

Bwahahahahahaha! Small time piece, from small time cunts.

[Antynwa]

I think I'll let the Olympiakos fans sum up my feelings.

Next insight from Giles:

 

"The Universe: it really isn't that big."

[Section_31]

On second thoughts it was probably Keegan at Fulham that got them interested in football Jim, that was the start of their soccer adventure, when 'that man off TV' got involved.
