United...



Watching that circus of a club from down the East Lancs makes me realise how thankful I am that I was born and raised a Liverpool fan.

When Moyes was appointed, the mancs were on their high horse making comments about how "we're not a sacking club" and how they'd give him time no matter how bad things got. These were snide, back handed remarks about how Liverpool have been in their times of struggle over the years.

Comments made with arrogance, born out of a sense of entitlement their fans have from years of control and protection provided by Alex Ferguson. They never expected things would actually turn bad.

Now, only seven months into his first season, and they're already resorting to embarrassing measures to get the manager sacked, and looking on enviously at how Liverpool dealt with their problems in the past.

At times, things were bad for Liverpool. Real bad. But no matter how bad things got, we never had to fly a plane over the ground to get our message across.

No matter who the owners were, or who the manager was, no one has been able to stop Liverpool fans voicing their opinions inside Anfield. It doesn't matter who's name is on the papers, the fans own the club.

At Old Trafford there is a dictatorship, and their fans are starting to realise this. It must be frightening seeing the lack of control they have over the club when looking to the future. They can't even take banners into the ground to protest the manager.

For United fans, it's time to get down off that high horse. You may not be a sacking club yet, but you want to be. You've already embarrassed yourselves. You've been protected all these years and now you can't face life without Ferguson, and Ferguson's players won't play for the new manager. It's the Damned United.

You can only dream that you had a real club and real supporters like Liverpool. We sing You'll Never Walk Alone, and we also live by it. We took your insults, the same way we took everything else that's been thrown at us over the years, and we're still here.

And this may be the most "#LFCFamily" thing I ever post to the internet but I don't care it needed to be said. Thanks for reading.
