They're not Scousers, they used to be , But in the last 30 years have you ever heard a Liverpool accent when their fans get interviewed?
They obviously have some Scouse fans but they were priced out of the ground years ago and now its tourists that fill the place.
When you see them on telly the whole ground is full of tits covered in merchandising with I pads filming throw ins.

Is there even a scouser playing?

Arnold, but he is on the way out. I feel sorry for some reds like my nephew he ls a red like his dad and they will never see a Premier League game . The only time he will get into Analfield is if he does the tour or watches the under 18's.
Seriously you have not seen anything like it, when Liverpool are at home the hotels are jam packed and John Lennon airport and Lime Street station are chokka.
You have people from Northern Ireland ,the Home Counties along with fans from Kula Lumpar and Norway singing 'We're not English We're Scousers'

It's not just Liverpool. Most of the "top" Premier League clubs are the same.

I watched two England matches with a new manager in charge and new players in the squad and they won them both 2 - 0 and 3 - 0.
Both opposing teams came to block and defend, hoping for an occasional breakaway.
England's goals were of excellent quality, especially the 'free-kick one and the passing was sublime.
But the TV pundits and news channels told me they were rubbish.

You actually listen to the pundits?

Or the news channels...

The free kick was a cracker, but from what I saw the England team never seems to have that spark of belief in themselves with too much "you have the ball, no you have the ball" back and forth, which makes their play boring to watch

Or, more pertinently, you actually watch England games?

My son always calls them Boner-Mouth.

Nice win for Villa today. I was at the mega-grocer a few hours ago and the kid working in the bakery said, "Is that an Aston Villa cap you're wearing? You guys play Brighton today, right? And then a big game against PSG coming up. I hope you get all the wins." Nice kid.

Tomorrow I'm flying to Charlotte, North Carolina, for the annual North American Villa meetup. My brother and his family live there, and my daughter is flying in, too. Hundreds of Villa fans will be in attendance, including the host who owns three breweries. My liver is gonna be sore by the time I fly home.

Former Villa coach Dean Smith coaches the Charlotte MLS team, so I'm hoping he'll stop by for a pint.

You should ask him what he thinks of Cockermouth..................

Absolute mega match at Portman Road this afternoon, because if Ipswich don't beat Wolves (their bogey team) it literally is game over as they simply won't have the games to recover and it'll be Championship next season.

If Ipswich win, it will put them 6 points behind Wolves, but 12 behind I think will be too much ground to make up

FA Trophy s/f day: Aldershot v Woking ko 12:30 & Rochdale v Spennymoor ko 3pm.

Had a great time with about 200 Villans at the brewery yesterday. Former manager Dean Smith showed up at the gathering and hung out for about four hours, shaking hands and taking photos with everyone. About 20 brewery regulars showed up and were confused and bemused by the boisterous, singing mob. A mother and daughter told me that they'd be back today because "you're a fun group of people."

Alan McInally was there all day, too.
