I don't mind Liverpool and they've always had a plastic fan base. It's pretty bad in Reading. So many of them around. Bet they've never been and have a very tenuous link to supporting them.When I was living in England, the Baggies without a doubt.
But a decade+ overseas means Liverpool fans have taken them from being a club I felt totally indifferent about, to one I want to see fail.
Meeting plastic fans abroad means I've actually softened on the likes of West Brom, because following them can't be fun and there's a weird respect I have, as I've aged.
As for Liverpool: an odious, entitled fanbase, usually with little grip on reality. Winning is never enough for them. There are repulsive fans from every club,of course, even our own! But the sheer volume of Liverpool plastics I've been subjected to is beyond belief.
For example: a former colleague didn't speak to me for days when we beat them in the FA Cup (under Lambert, with that Stearman header and the near Costa solo-stunner). We weren't Premier League and it had been the first meeting between the clubs since I started at that company. In the build-up he'd been talking about a thrashing, then days later was on about how they had bigger things to worry about than the FA Cup...
