To the hyenas, jackals, and the hellhounds
Liverpool should be gracious winners.
In a way, kinda sorta, I can empathize with those folks out there who have hated on our Reds for so long.
I understand…I really do. I was witness to this.
Fans were not very magnanimous in their glory years in the late ‘70’s and 80’s; very unchampionlike in fact. The football hooligans that found great pleasure in the gloat; made a meal of it actually. Remember?
In fairness to this team, the city, and the club; they have spent 30 long and painful years to polish a tarnished image of gloating winners and sore losers.
We all know this to be true. I can only hope this time will be different.
But my message today is to all those Liverpool haters out there and to haters in general. Even those at Liverpool.
‘Hate is an acid that eats the container that holds it.”

So to all the hellhounds, hyenas and jackals: howling with gnashing teeth, spewing bile and bilge water; when your team whomever that might be (Manchester United excluded) takes to the pitch the next time. Take a good long look.
This is what you will not find. Six golden European crowns above their name…
19 English League crowns in their cabinet. (Only Manchester United have more of these; and they deserve each and every bloody one!)
Eight League Cups…seven FA cups;
And the final straw on this camels back?
When the Reds take to the pitch at Newcastle on final match day, they will have a Champions League winners patch, a Club World Cup patch, and an Premier League winners patch on their shoulders.
No other English side through all of the glorious years of English football can lay claim to this piece of business.
This is why; ‘this means more’.
There is a way the true champions act. They do not gloat because they do not need to. Everything that needed to be said, a true champion leaves said on the field of contest.
Nothing more need be said.

While this most assuredly will not silence the hyenas…etc., and while this lot will never give their respect to greatness on a football pitch;
They have earned it nonetheless.
