Pacinofan

Unfortunately Fish it's not as popular as Liverpool. I brought CC up because that's the sign I saw when getting near to your city the last time I was up there. Seemed a bit odd to show such pride in a an author who writes womens books. It's not like she's an Agatha Christie type writer or a Bronte.

Aye, despite the fact Liverpool's bigger than Hull and Coventry's city center was the worst affected, as i've said . Pacinofan, you're not helping your cities image I really don't give a flying one about what you think of me, or the city I come from. Your ignorance was evident when you said Bristol was the most important port at the time of slavery. Liverpool overtook it in all respects.

I do realise that Fish but this idiot is absolutely obsessed with Liverpool. Most bombed is a bit contentious, Liverpool had the most bombs, Hull had more damage. http://www.liverpoolmuseums.org.uk/maritime/exhibitions/blitz/blitz.asp Canada dock was the most bombed square mile in the country, People come to Liverpool for many different reasons, The Beatles being one of them. Bigger draw than ‘Welcome to Catherine Cookson country’ but there you go.

Liverpool was the second most bombed city in the UK. Can't be arsed with the rest of your post which is a mixture of opinion and ignorance. No it wasn't, I know it wasn't because i'm from near Hull and Hull was, 90% of it's buildings were damaged! Hull's still a shithole, as is Liverpool, what's the relevance? From wiki... Hull was the most severely bombed British city or town apart from London during the Second World War, with 86,715 buildings damaged and 95 percent of houses damaged or destroyed.[2] Of a population of approximately 320,000 at the beginning of the war, approximately 152,000 were made homeless as a result of bomb destruction or damage. Aye and the whole of Coventry's city center was fucked too... Coventry, Hull, Liverpool, all severely bombed... all shitholes What baffles me is right take you. You're a standard kid who has nothing to slate Liverpool for, not from the North East live in London, forget what team you support, and you're basically echoing what I think too. He denies that scousers are generally ridiculed on a national basis, and for me it's not just the fact the place is a shithole, there's loads of shitholes right round the country, it's my signature that sums it up. They're ridiculed as much for the people they are than the actual city itself, that's more collectively than individually because you do scousers who are decent though. However, I've seen this view echoed everywhere. In my work they're all Londoners, and if you mention Liverpool in any shape or form peoples faces contort, it's a national thing. They're superior to monkeys, and that's still contentious. You’re one of the worst bigots I’ve seen on the net and I really don’t think I’ve come across anyone as jealous of Liverpool as you are. It’s like a sickness, you just can’t resist looking and reading every little thing you can about it, just to make yourself even more jealous. I have no problem being arrogant where you’re concerned, you’re like the old drunk sitting on a street corner with a bottle of meths in his hand, shouting the odds at everyone and anyone, with no sense to your words. You’re more to be pitied really, but hey, I’m arrogant enough to know that if I was anything like you I’d curl up in a corner with a bag over my head crying ‘unclean, unclean.

You’re an ugly minded jealous bigot. If others don’t see it, that’s not my problem. As I’ve already stated everyone is entitled to an opinion. I think it was Ewerk who made that brilliant quote about you having a loose relationship with facts, he was spot on. Liverpool themselves started reducing their population in the 1960’s to new towns, Skem, Kirkby and Runcorn because it was over populated. This has carried on through the last few decades; there are still swathes of empty houses waiting to be demolished. Only in the last few years have the council started to allow developers to build homes in the city centre again. It hardly equates to desertion. Many did leave for work in the 1980’s but that was happening in much of the North, many came back when things got better and overall Merseyside itself has grown in population. So you admit half the population deserted Liverpool over a 50 year period? Thank you. Facts are facts, don't let emotion get in the way of the fact the population of Liverpool is HALF of what it was. Incredible stat that, and as Cleetoon said, and I said earlier the only comparison in the western world is Detroit in USA. I wouldn't know about Asia or Africa and such epic desertion of a city. So in your view a city council reducing it's own population because of overcrowding is the people deserting? Jesus, you're a bell. Have you been to Detroit recently? Liverpool is better than most cities I've been to in this country and the thousands of tourists that come here each week feel the same.

No it wasn't, I know it wasn't because i'm from near Hull and Hull was, 90% of it's buildings were damaged! Hull's still a shithole, as is Liverpool, what's the relevance? Hull lost more buildings, Liverpool city centre was blitzed very heavily, had more air raids and lost more civilian lives, nearly 4,000 on Merseyside, two and a half thousand in Liverpool alone. Canada dock was the most heavily bombed square mile in the UK. 10, 000 homes were destroyed. The battle of the Atlantic was fought from Liverpool and it was one of the most important ports in the world during the war, hence why Hitler bombed it so much and hence why we have tunnels instead of bridges. For those that know Liverpool you'll recognise the Victoria Monument looking up to Castle Street. This is just one part of a city centre that was devastated.

I wasn't trying to change your mind at all. The fact that you compared them to those particular cities reminded of that thread on SSC that's all. I didn't say it was the Luftwaffes fault, I was being positive about the great strides the city made because of the way they'd left it. I live here and find the majority of Scousers love and are very proud of their city, and not afraid to speak up for it.

Glad to give such an ugly minded guy a laugh, you’re welcome. Our population hasn’t halved at all and our economy is on the up, has been for a few years now. Why don't you just give up, you haven't got a clue, and are so blinded by hate and jealousy that you rarely make any sense.

Your opinion is your own and I wouldn’t try to change it, doesn’t bother me at all, we all have opinions about everywhere. It’s when you say you know how people are going to re- act when the actual facts disprove your comments. We have very active daily and nightly phone in’s on the local radio stations plus the local papers, and the complaints in both forms of media were very, very strong in the summer. I’d say 99% against it. It makes me laugh when ignorant people like yourself bring up the slave trade when there wasn’t one part of the UK who didn’t benefit from it. Before, during and after the slave trade, Liverpool did more business with Ireland, the Isle of Man and other non slave trade routes than they ever did to do with slavery. BTW, none of those cities you mention suffered like Liverpool did from the Luftwaffe, where swathes of the city centre were left as no more than free car parks. I think this city has done fantastically well to build itself up again, considering we live in a London centric country. Many visitors would disagree with your opinion of Liverpool against the other cities you mention. This guy for instance, loved England and the cities you mention, except Sheffield, but he fell in love with Liverpool. http://www.skyscrape...d.php?t=1455347

Even the centre is very different now Tom, Liverpool One has joined the city to the waterfront, plus a lot of new buildings on the waterfront itself. It's worth another visit, honest

I disagree with you Tom, there are many fine parts of Liverpool outside of the centre. The area around Anfield is a disgrace and would have been dealt with years ago if everyone had done what they said they'd do, and not having Evertonians in the city council. The Wirral is lovely for the most part, if a bit dull. My Aunt and Uncle live in Port Sunlight village, a wonderful concept when built but it reminds me of a Stepford type place. Every single blade of grass is manicured, the town 'council' decide on which plants you can have outside of your front door. Sometimes it's good to see something a bit more edgy and rough.

Yeed shag a barbers floor yee, ye filthy wrongun. and pacinofan? I've never met a group of people with more blind fanaticism for their area. The emphasis on the blind. Everything about Liverpool is great, and everything that is great is Liverpool. I've no doubt there'll be a couple of exceptions, but I've been there enough and spent more than enough time with scousers to know I'm not being unreasonable when I say they're generally so far up themselves and their city it's repulsive and they've the biggest chip on their shoulder I've ever seen. I didn't think it was possible to have a victim complex at the same time as a superiority complex, but there they go, swaggering with an undeserved arrogance down the job centre. what's the difference between a scouser and Batman? Batman can go out without Robin Not everything about Liverpool is great, but most of it is, yes. Your victim complex jibe is ridiculous and shows how little you know. Most Scousers are willing to stand up and fight against anything they see as wrong, if you see that as victim complex then poor you. There is a certain amount of arrogance in Scousers but I love it, and yes in many cases we do think we're superior, so what? Your other comments are banal stereotypical nonsense. :lol: The whole country laughs at you, you're like Chechnya compared to Moscow and St Petersburg, is it any wonder you're the most ridiclued looked down upon people on these islands with comments like that??? No actually they don't as proved by the many, many people who visit and go away with only good and positive thoughts. I've been to most parts of this country and the rest of the world, not once have I felt looked down upon nor been ridiculed with anything other than two way banter. You sound a little bit angry there, calm down lad.

Batman can go out without Robin It's not their fault though really, it's because they are so insular and don't know any different. To anyone outside that area, when you go there for football or whatever, you generally think what an awful shithole, but look at it like this. If you were born in Tirana in 1950 you'd think Tirana is the best city in the world because you're told it is by the people around you, and you don't actually have experience of anything better. Insular? You dumb little person. This is a port city and has been for hundreds of years, we look out to the rest of the world, not inside to little England. Very far from a shithole as all the tourist polls will tell you.

You'll be watching every minute though, just to get your needed Scouse fix. I only watch reality TV shows in passing, but I've yet to see real stunners from anywhere, including your town. They look for the odd, the freak, the extreme, when casting these ridiculous shows and there isn't one town, city or village in this country where they can't find those, plus the ugly looking and ugly minds. Sounds like you could be a contender, tbh. I really won't. Your lack of self awareness is hilarious. Bet this movember crack is being well practised around your way eh? It will take you back down memory lane to the 70s 80s and 90s no doubt. Maybe even the 00s. I'm not aware of anyone I know participating in movember, but no doubt some here are. My self awareness is fine, I know who I am and where I'm from, happy with the first, and extremely proud of the second. I live for now, but if it's football memories you're talking about I'm spoilt for choice. Irony is lost on you isn't it?

If you look back you'll see we were mortified at the prospect of ubermongs embarrassing our region. You should also know loads of bars shut their doors on the empty empty scumbags that were made famous by that bortion of a tv show. You'll find no Geordie Shore fans here mate, but I'm willing to bet if I were to slate Desperate Scousewives down Merseyside I'd be told that they're all sound lads and I'm just jealous and it'll show how great a city Liverpool is... Honestly, if I were you? I'd be embarrassed about this... it's only Essex and Liverpool who'd revel in this kind of vacuous bilge. I presume you call yourself the fish because you like to wind up, but if so you really need to brush up on your skill. You could say you caught me, but there are times I'll jump in just for the hell of it knowing full well when someone's fishing, but anyway. Mersey shore and Desperate Scousewives have been panned here since they were first mooted in the summer. The local papers and radio have been awash with complaints of embarrassment and horror at the prospect of these two programmes. Don't try to act as though you actually understand, or know, the people you're talking about.

That should have read got rid of 14 players, as some went on a free. The undisclosed ones are usually guesstimates Chez. http://www.lfchistory.net/Transfers/ByManager/24-0

I wouldn't call 33 million net a huge injection of cash. KD has sold 14 players bringing in 78 million and lowering the wage bill at the same time. John Henry and Werner are far from having cold feet judging by their comments.

I heard Gazza a few weeks ago saying that Kenny Dalglish had wanted to sign him but wanted him to wait a year. Gazza said he couldn't wait a year.

I disagree, I believe we'll get back in at the end of this season. We're playing better football than we have for a while, and once we start capitalising on the chances created (our finishing has been shite) we'll win the matches we dominate instead of losing like against Stoke. We've hit the bar or post 10 times this season, top of the league for that anyway. Being Liv you should really get goals for that I reckon. I can only agree PL

Not really. The net spend is only 30 odd million, and the CL losses should be made up with the new sponsorship deals which are big. We got rid of a lot of players in the summer which also brought the wage bill down. I would expect the club to show a loss though in the next set of figures.
