Liverpudlian
One day, Satan was out for a walk through Hell, making sure things were running smoothly. When he got to the Lake of Fire, he saw a man sitting by the lake, relaxing in a deck chair, and not sweating or looking uncomfortable at all. Perplexed, Satan approached the man and asked:
"Young man, are you not hot or bothered by this heat?" The man replied, "Oh no, not at all. I lived in Liverpool and this weather is just like a typical July day in the city." Satan thought that this was not a good sign, so he rushed back to his office and turned up the heat in Hell another 100 degrees. Satisfied with himself, he again returned to the Lake of Fire to check on the young man.
When he got there, the man was showing a few beads of sweat, but that was all. Again Satan asked the Liverpudlian, "Are you hot and uncomfortable yet?" The young man looked up and said, "No, the temperature is just like a hot August day in Liverpool. I'm coping its just fine."
Satan decided that he had to do something drastic to make this man's stay in Hell unpleasant. He went back to his office, turned the heat all the way down, and then turned up the air conditioning. The temperature in Hell quickly dropped well below zero. As he approached the Lake of Fire, he noticed that it was now frozen over. He also saw the Liverpudlian jumping up and down wildly, waving his arms and yelling into the air.
"This looks promising!" thought Satan. Coming closer, he finally made out what the man was shouting:
"Liverpool have won the premiership! Liverpool have won the premiership!"

Re: Liverpudlian
If that means hell will freeze over before Liverpool win the premiership - I'm not rising to the bait!

I shall treat that remark with the contempt it deserves. If you ever need directions to Liverpool, let me know. Anfield is the hallowed ground anyway and they only allow people with a good sense of direction in.geddes wrote:Where is Liverpool???

Re: Liverpudlian
Is the place you mention where your grandfather fought The Spion Kop?geddes wrote:I remember they have place at their football ground honouring the place where my grandfather helped to win a battle.

This was the site of a battle in the Boer War and it is reputed to be the origination of the name Spion Kop, which famously became the biggest terrace in the Anfield ground and held up to 30,000 supporters.
The atmosphere and experience of being on The Kop (as we called it) was something absolutely unbelievable, particularly in a really big European game, or Merseyside derby. It was made non-standing in 1993 (Ithink) due to the advent of all seater grounds after the Hillsborough disaster. There are still a couple of sections in The Kop which steadfastly refuse to sit down during games but, this is frowned upon by the stewards.
A lot of supporters still think the best course will be to revamp Anfield, rather than move to a new ground although it seems a new ground will be the most likely outcome because of planning constraints and compulsory purchase orders. I bet there will be a section still called The Kop, and the real supporters, as opposed to the 'prawn sandwich brigage' (yes, I'm afraid we have a few of those) would want the creation of a special section in 'The Kop' where singing and generally enjoying the game will still be allowed!
Here endeth today's history lesson (we've got a lot of history) and no doubt will make more in the future..........................Come on youse Red's

Yes he fought at Spion Kop in the (English war) that is what it was called his side.I must confess I have been to Liverpool & loved every minute of my stay but still remain a staunch Newcastle fan.
