I know. It's laughable. Sunderland have such a crap support. 200,000 people live in the Sunderland area and only 40,000+ can be bothered to go to watch a very average team at home. Part-time supporters. Not like those super duper Scousers at Anfield who have a cool 1,034 extra fans.

Sunderland ........ booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!! What a load of rubbish!! Keano out!! Sack the board!!

Just read an article that The Cop is noticable more quiet these days.

They are getting tired of Liverpool only playing well against the minnows.

Which cop is that? Bilko or something connected with Z cars?

Sound of silence as Liverpool go it alone

Dec 24 2007 Nick Peet Liverpool Echo

WHILE Sylvain Distin was still wrestling with his demons after calamitously handing Liverpool maximum points on Saturday the goading cheers of the fans raised the roof.

However, despite going 2-0 up inside the first 15 minutes against one of the best away sides in the Premiership, it wasn’t the home fans who turned up the volume inside Anfield.

“Can you hear the Scousers Sing?” bellowed the Pompey faithful, before they burst into a rendition of: “Two nil and you still don’t sing!”

And they were embarrassingly spot on.

Anfield on Saturday was as solemn as a morgue.

When the small pocket of visiting fans on the Anfield Road stopped to catch their breath, you could hear a pin drop – and every word out of Jamie Carragher’s mouth!

This was the first 3.00pm Saturday kick-off at home for the Reds in three months – and judging by Saturday’s poor display from the terraces, the players will be hoping that it’s at least another three before the next one.

Do the players need to walk out under the floodlights to the sound of the Champions League anthem these days to get any real backing from Liverpool fans?

It wasn’t until the third goal went in that we heard anything resembling a song from the Kop choir – who must have all been nursing hangovers from night’s out after most people finished work on Friday afternoon.

With at least two-thirds of that stand being season ticket holders, too, there really is no excuse.

It’s too easy to blame the day-trippers from Scandinavia and Ireland, too.

Whatever the Blue side of the city may jest, the heartbeat of Liverpool Football Club is still local fans – and it’s they who lost their voices against Pompey.

The Reds were two up before Portsmouth boss Harry Redknapp had even had the chance to moan at the fourth official, yet the fans failed to respond.

Portsmouth, remember, were on a run of seven away wins prior to Saturday’s kick-off.

Redknapp has put together a tasty little side with genuine European ambitions this season, while the Reds entered the game on the back of two title-pinching league defeats, and being knocked out of the Carling Cup.

This was a massive game for Rafa Benitez’s side, yet they were left to do it alone as the winter chill set firm with the fans.

Liverpool’s incredible 12th man has been cherished and caressed by the world’s media over the years, and rightfully so after countless occasions when the Red army has reaffirmed the club’s claims to home the best fans on the planet.

But, on Saturday, the 12th man, like Harry Kewell in the second half, went missing.
