I’ve been thinking a lot about Liverpool lately. I know, wild thought right? But working in retail gives you a lot of time to think, and I’m a deep thinker, or so I’ve been told. One question I’ve been pondering, is why aren’t more football fans, Liverpool fans? Why do clubs in the EPL have fans, when we all know the best club, and players have come from Liverpool? These are just the things that keep me busy during the day.
What does Aston Villia, Everton, West Ham, Stoke, Blackpool etc have on us? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Other teams may wear red, but LFC makes it look very good. Plus that iconic crest, and the players, why else would another club have fans? Oh and our trophy cabinet?
