Heysel, Liverpool fans responsible for the deaths of 39 Juventus fans. No responsibility from their supporters for that, instead a lie was spread about "cockney accents on the ferry"...Ed Hunter The Gooner wrote: ↑Wed Aug 22, 2018 6:46 amGenuine question, please don't shoot me. Where this hate towards Pool originates from among Arsenal fans? Asking because I'm not English and really don't know about it...
Again, please don't shoot me but Pool was years ago actually a team I followed to some extend at least after Arsenal as my countryman Sami Hyypiä played there. Best defender in Finnish football history.
Misty eyed sense of entitlement , too many plastic fans(especially in Ireland) , their quoting and of an misquoting of their history by the same plastic fans. Their current manager with his constant playing to the media and his manufactured passion.
As said above their intimidation of referees at Anfield in the 70s and 80s.. I remember listening to a game at Anfield on BBC Radio 2 back around 1978 .The commentator said there was a massive claim by Liverpool players for a penalty. The ref denied it and a Liverpool player grabbed the ref to complain..the player wasn't sent off as he should have been (commentators words) but a couple of minutes later the ball was back in the opposition penalty area....guess the rest ? Enough to say Liverpool won with a late penalty.
