Hypocrites.
In my experience a lot of Liverpool fans are indeed extremely blinkered and genuinely seem to believe their own hype.
As for Rafa, ''Chelsea is afraid of us"- Rafa's quote right before 4-1 debacle at Anfield.
"We know how to beat Chelsea" - out of the same mouth( 9 matches: 1W, 3D, 5L )
Let's not forget his postmatch rubbish about Robben's trip to the hospital and his whining about Essien's tackle that forced the Ghanian to miss the Barca encounter( Hammann's much worse two feet tackle on the Norwich player from last season somehow didn't bother him much). That Rafa bloke,what a picture of dignity and integrity he is.
If it was Mourinho saying those things about Pool i could only imagine the outrage of scousers everywhere.
Mourinho never insulted Pool by saying something like "they're afraid of us" or "we know how to beat them" although his record against Benitez allows him to say that and much more.
As for their fans , I wouldn't even bother to go into detail with the integrity of these , (shirt burnings,attacking ambulances with an injured player inside,booing George Best's name during the minute of silence,robbing your own team museum.
Take your blinkers off and you'll realize that your precious Rafa is not the perfect gentleman scousers portray him to be,your players cheat,dive and whine in order to get their way just like other teams' players do and your fanbase is full of hypocrites blinded by jealousy.
Only credible domestic aspiration this season for Liverpool is a chance to win the FA Cup, At least United gave us a decent fright and could still nick it because of their ability to win games when it matters .
Back to the diving issue , its ok for Stevie Gerrard to DIVE because he's a Liverpool player and , wait for it............................................... they have .......................................ahh......Hi story.
