Please don’t let us be like Liverpool fans if Newcastle have even fraction of success they’ve had | OneFootball

It is no secret that Liverpool FC are the undisputed darlings of the English media.

When they win their 20th domestic top tier title this season they will undeniably be England’s most successful club.

Living in North Shields, I know quite a few glory hunting Liverpool fans.

Some of these lads and lasses are older citizens, who jumped onto the Shankly and then Paisley bandwagons in the 1960s and 1970s.

There is also a fair sprinkling of younger Liverpool fans who have joined them more recently.

After the Anthony Gordon saga last summer, the latest coming out of the tabloid press and various Liverpool outlets, is that Newcastle United’s prize asset Alexander Isak is on the scousers’ summer radar.

Some of them even seemingly believing that it is only months before Isak is a red.

So only days after we lost 2-0 at Anfield in the Premier League, just two weeks before Newcastle take on Liverpool in the Carabao Cup Final at Wembley, the scouse propaganda and BS is at it once again.

I’ve got to admit that I’ve never been keen on them.

Obviously there is the 1974 FA Cup Final defeat, though I was only a boy back then.

Although I love my football, I was never a great lover of the dominant Liverpool side of the mid to late 1970s and 1980s.

Constantly yapping Emlyn Hughes, dirty Graeme Souness and dour Kenny Dalglish didn’t float my boat.

There was also always that dreadful passing amongst the back four when they were winning, then eventually passing it back to Clemence or Grobbelaar to pick up.

They have also poached and signed some of our star players over the decades, the likes of Terry McDermott, Alan Kennedy, Didi Hamann, Andy Carroll, Jose Enrique and Gini Wijnaldum.

The Jurgen Klopp years really reignited everything that I ever disliked about Liverpool. The man, for all of his success, was a patronising hypocrite and bully in my eyes.

All good teams get their fair share of luck and Liverpool get more than most, without taking into account some of the dubious decisions that go their way.

As I have already stated, the media and tabloid press fawn over them like no other club. Punditry is no exception and the annoying Jamie Carragher is a massive turn-off.

I think it’s the self-entitled and opiniated Liverpool fans that really seal the deal for me.

I was quite confident beforehand that United would get a result at Anfield in midweek. That’s game is now history and we move on.

If in future, Newcastle United ever have even a small fraction of the success that Liverpool and their supporters have enjoyed over the last half of a century, I hope we never go on or act like them.
