I couldn't agree more Shrute! I said in the days leading up to Liverpool v United that Liverpool would treat it like their cup final and that they would thus put in a month's worth of effort into that one match and that they would then revert to type, and although I got a lot of critcism for saying so, I do seem to know the Liverpool mentality somewhat better than some of their own fans do.
One of the reasons for this is that the Liverpool of today remind me so much of United in the dark days of the late 1980s, where we would also put in a month's worth of effort against a far superior Liverpool side at the time and sadly it was enough to keep our fans happy for weeks afterwards - with that braindead fucker attitude no wonder it's taken us so fucking long to catch up with their eighteen times!
