Hello everyone, the names calum and I have split heritage, my dad is a true scouser and my mum is a true Southampton lady. I am 27 and I was a joint Liverpool and Southampton fan until we lost at St Mary's in 2002/ 2003. Ever since for 15 years I live and breathe the club, as ed001 and the majority of the true supporters know, we are not the force we once was, I was at Istanbul with my father when we won the champions league in 2005 and it was the best night of my life, it was an underdog story that I doubt will ever be repeated.

I am a Liverpool fan, I live and breathe our club, I can't watch a game Without the nerves or the genuine expectation of past times. My father is a true scouser, he always tells me about Shankly, paisley, Fagan and Dalglish, and whenever I listen I shake and shiver about the community that our club gave us. In 1986 sir alex ferguson famously said he wanted to knock us off our perch, did he succeed? I think not. He gave our arch rivals success on a huge scale, but what he didn't take and could never take is our love for our family, Liverpool fc.

I have no desire to cause arguments or problems I am Only speaking from my heart. I have read these pages for about 8 years and I have nothing but total respect for every editor on this site, I don't always agree but I always respect. As Ed001 knows the thing that makes lfc a true family is the nature of our surroundings. We care and look after our own.

And that is why any signing we make from This point forward will get my full backing, I won't rush them at all, any player than comes or goes are human beings and they are transient employees of a franchise. We are a franchise people, same as every top level club in modern football. But the only Difference is that Liverpool are a true family, anybody who supports us are truly welcome in my heart.

My prediction is that we will finish between 2nd and 4th this coming season and if we stay lucky with injuries maybe a title push, I expect us to excel in the cups and. Have one final. champions league is a mystery and I am looking forward to the ride.

Liverpool fc is not a football club, it's a way of my life

Far too many fans are wrapped up in their own self importance. Throwing out sentences like as the true supporters know. What does that even mean? I'm sure everyone is as passionate an LFC fan as each other but people's circumstances will dictate how much they can follow the team financially or personally. It doesn't make them less of a fan though. Everyone has different opinions and that's what makes football what it is. Just because some people may have a moan it doesn't make them less knowledgable or less of a fan. And the majority of fans who make out their in the know probably talk out of their arse most of the time anyway. We're all on this ride together. People need to get off their high horses and just enjoy it. I'm expecting criticism from the in the know brigade now so I'm looking forward to reading their comments.

So jayden what was your point, you say everyone is entitled to an opinion which is correct, but you have a problem with people calling themselves true supporters because they go the game, or have a conection to the City. They are opinions mate, which you say fans are entitled to have.
I was born in Liverpool and have a season ticket but I have no issue with fans who come from far and wide to support the team or think I am up my own arse, because I was born in liverpool and i have a season ticket. We all have an opinion mate keep supporting your team the way you can. And YNWA.

No fin way- I've just re read my comment and can't see where i have said people who go to the game or have season tickets are up their own arse mate. My point was about when fans make out their more knowledgable or in the know of other fans who have different opinions to theirs I said Most of the time their talking out of their arses. If someone has a different opinion to me I'm not arrogant enough to believe it's because I know more than them.
