A small minority once again blacken the name of another English club.
An interesting quote from one of the stories above regarding Athens says,
"You must ask yourself why at the same match, with the same conditions, there was no trouble with the Milan fans - only the Liverpool fans." That there is a very telling truth indeed.
That was asked by William Gaillard a UEFA spokesperson. Now this guy is very smart indeed and knows what he is talking about. At least that was what I was told by every man and his dog when he called Mourinho an "enemy of football " a couple of seasons back. Back then, in most peoples opinions ( anyone but Chelsea fans that is), he was spot on. Why then are Liverpool fans and their club now insisting the guy is an idiot.
I have read up on both sides of the argument and to be honest, I don't think Liverpool has a leg to stand on.
" Liverpool fans stealing tickets from other Liverpool fans, including stealing the tickets of children. What other club's fans would behave like that." says another quote that stands out. Shocking really.
One Reds fan said, " Well they know what we are like so they should have been prepared for us." Thats just out of order.
We all got banned from Europe once before thanks to Liverpool. I hope that if UEFA are looking to exclude clubs with troublesome fans abroad, that they treat all English clubs seperately and not ban all of us because of a handfull of moronic scouser bindippers.
