Always support the team, no matter how bad they are playing.
If the team is doing badly, cheer even louder as they need your support more.
If a player is struggling, sing his name louder and more often as he needs it.
If the opposition are the better side and perform well, appreciate it and give them the credit they are due.
What has happened to the Kop pledge?
Things really got ugly over the last week as many Liverpool fans started attacking our players, our manager and turning on each other. We all heard Anfield booing on Tuesday, disgusting. Some fans even went as far as calling Ryan Babel nasty names on his Twitter account forcing him to change his username and protect his updates. When I confronted them about it I was attacked and called a B****end. Others have taken their Rafa bashing to the next level calling for his head. But the player who gets the most abuse of course is Lucas, even if he plays well he gets attacked. What has happened to our beloved Liverpool?
So I am starting here at Empire of The Kop, all the writers on this blog will from now on abide by the rules above, and those who don’t will have to write elsewhere.
Remember football is a team sport and when we lose a game we all fail, the 11 on the pitch fail, the manager fails, the backroom staff fail and the supporters fail.
Remember if you are a supporter you are more than a fan, YOU SUPPORT and we do this in sickness and health ’till death do us part.
AMEN
Now, let us beat United.
