Here's a couple I've come to know and love,

Doomer and gloomer-anybody who doesn't think we'll do the quadruple next season.

Moaning tw@t-anybody who moans about the fact that we won't do the quadruple next season, even though they know we won't do it.

Rafa basher-anybody who thinks that sometimes the manager makes a mistake, and even worse says so.

Armchair fan-anybody who disagrees with someone who goes to the game, when they don't go themselves. Note-it's OK to be an armchair fan or an OOTer, as long as you agree with the fans who aren't armchair fans and OOTers.

Newbie-Anybody who disagrees with a member of the forum who has been around longer than them. The same disclaimer applies as above, as long as newbies agree with old timers etc.

Clueless gimp-Anybody who doesn't think Alonso is the most important player at the club.

Sam Allardyce lover-anybody who thinks there could possibly be another human being on planet Earth who could perhaps manage the team as well as Rafa.

Winger and whiner-anybody who's not on the forum extolling the virtues of "Rafa style" within thirty seconds of us winning a game, particularly if we've seen off non-league oppo by two clear goals or more.

Arsenal supporter/Wenger's bumchum-any Liverpool fan who draws a comparison between our achievements and relative spend over the last four years and Arsenals.

True fan-anybody who draws a comparison between Alex Fergusons first four years as manager and Rafa's.

Drama queen/over reacter-anybody who comes to the conclusion that we maybe putting ourselves out of the title race after only a few matches. Once we are twelve points behind and obviously not going to land a blow, and once everyone accepts it, it is however OK to start thinking of reasons why not (injuries, boardroom comings and goings, bad refs, bad luck, bad finishing etc etc).

Kuyt basher-anybody who originally said Kuyt was a good player and worth every penny of his fee, but has since concluded that they were totally wrong. Talking about the fact that he has scored three league goals this season and describing how they came about (two pens and one inadvertant ricochet) gets you life membership of this particular club.

  I've come to know and love 'em all   :laugh:

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Brilliant!

And now some from the other side of the divide...

Rose-Tinted Brigader--anyone who actually enjoys it when we beat the likes of Inter or even Havant & Waterlooville and isn't afraid to say so (See also "Happy Clapper")

"In-Rafa-We-Truster"--anyone that refrains from calling Rafa an "idiot" or "clown" or fails to make fun of his broken english in their posts.

Pro-Rotationer--anyone who expresses even the slighest skepticism that rotation is the only reason why we fell off the pace this season

Excuse Monger--anyone who suggests that other factors besides Rafa-Style rotation have contributed to our problems this season.  Excuse Mongers are particularly evident when discussing injuries, international breaks or the off-field turmoil surrounding the club's owners.  On occasion, particularly enthusiastic Excuse Mongers are criticized as being Tomkinsesque in their views

Realist--(AKA a "Tell It Like It Is'er") an individual who relishes coming into the match thread after a victory to remind everyone that said victory in no way makes up for our failings over the course of the season, which are, natch, all Rafa's fault.

"Call a Spade a Spader"--anyone who must simply comment on how rubbish Kuyt is game in, game out...no matter how many other possible talking points may be worth discussing.

:D

Anyone play cricket using a lamp-post as wickets - "garden and you're out"

i remember curby. boss little game that.
1) You'll Never Walk Alone
2) pass and move is the Liverpool groove
3) FIRST WILL ALWAYS BE FIRST AND SECOND WILL ALWAYS BE NOTHING.
4) If Torres has scored 60 league goals for Liverpool by the start of the 2011/12 season, I'll say he's better than Owen.

Did you's ever get a double curb?  Y'know bounced off one curb straight back over the road back to your curb - game over!  Great little game curby was... is.

I remember curby, kids still play it today. As for the moving cars the amount of ten bob floaters we went through as the cars ran over them ! Even better when it was windy nobody had control over it !

I thought it was spuggy not spoggy. Also known as chuddy in some circles.
From Shankly to Brendan we follow our team, Rome to Istanbul we've all lived the dream. Our journey is long, our goal stays the same, to keep for our children the famous red name.
