Exactly. But now theyve got a new generation of young / global fans because of their success then ALL Man City fans are a bunch of plastics according to the Sludges of this world.

The vast majority of match going Liverpool fans are from Liverpool. A die hard Liverpool supporter, from Livcerpool, is no different to a die hard Newcastle supporter from Newcastle, or a Carlisle fan from Carlisle.
Yes Liverpool have a global support too, it comes with being succesful in the 70s and 80s as football started reaching a wider audience, but to suggest that their core match going support is not from the city of Liverpool is ludicrous. Most Premier League clubs these days, the larger more established ones - including your Newcastle and Villas - have an element of support outside of the city and plenty of tourists too.
And on the subject of support, Liverpool supporters were 100% the proverbial 12th man on Sunday. NQAT.

People have short memories, especially when it comes to football.
Who has mocked Man Citys support ?
You need to go and have a lie down
