You have a couple of type of fans knocking around the grounds these days. You have your old generation, the respectful diehards who talk about the 'good ole days'. These ladies and gents are the fans that remember what real football was all about before the theatrics, gold boots and crazy haircuts. I can't help but wonder as a younger generation fan myself what it would be like watching a game of football and the main topic being the football not how much money some kid deserves to be on. The older generation have a unconditional love to the game of football, no time for the other garbage that follows. On my part, there is a huge amount of respect for the history of the club, not just the trophies we've won or the finals we have participated in, what made us special were our fans and my oh my what i'd do to participate in supporting my club back in those days and supporting football.

We are now a breed of supporters who cling on to that history, don't look back in respect but use it as a tool against the club going forward when things don't go our way. This We Are Liverpool attitude has been bringing the club down for many years, expecting to be the best, bring in the best and nothing else but the best just because of our name. We should want all of those things but as fans we go about it the wrong way, now days fans are quick to turn against people be it the management, the owners, the players or each other, we are now breaching Liverpool's famously built reputation for great support. I've been to a lot of the games over the years, more so recently where our support hasn't been great there has been a lack of singing or passion from the stands until we score of course then there's 5 minutes of horrars. More so, its full of people winging and shouting some pretty unsavoury things, the days of singing for 90 minutes non-stop support has gone which is a great shame. i'd love it if fans could talk about the game and the players that play for us instead of constantly talking about transfers, changes of management and contracts, I love football, the dramas that follow can wait till the summer but until then, shouldn't we be concentrating what happens on the pitch? Maybe i'm sounding a bit silly but we had 2 of the greatest clubs in England face one another the other day in Arsenal Liverpool but all the commentators wanted to talk about was Sterling? It just baffles me, do people support Liverpool for the football or the drama?
