'Off you pop!' Liverpool legend takes extraordinary swipe at Cardiff City fans after Anfield clash


The Bluebirds fans were in full voice at Anfield but one former Reds player and ex Newport County player said he was unimpressed by them



Tuesday 8th February 2022



Despite a commanding performance from the English giants and a 3-1 defeat, Cardiff fans certainly enjoyed their trip up to Merseyside and backed their team throughout.

However, former Reds and Republic of Ireland forward Aldridge, who began his career with Newport, has bizarrely said he was unimpressed by the travelling Welsh contingent at the weekend.


"Cardiff brought about 8,000 fans to Anfield. They got a lucky draw. They enjoyed the day out but their fans didn’t impress me," Aldridge wrote in his Liverpool Echo column.




"The likes of Shrewsbury, Leicester, and now Cardiff - some of the things that we had to endure - they don’t sing about their own team half of the time.

"But they’ve had a day out, had a bit of a jolly and got a goal. I thought they’d won the whole game the way they celebrated it.

"I’ve noticed that the away fans this season seem to have gone a lot more volatile.

"You used to get an atmosphere like that in the old days of the Kop when it was all standing.

"But all of a sudden the away fans are coming and standing and they’re definitely more volatile than they were before.

"In any case, we got the result and their goal didn’t matter because it was a cup game.”

"The Cardiff fans have had a good day out in one of the best stadiums in the world. They’ve made a few bob for the club, now off you pop!"

Best stadium in the world? Hmmm. I'd expect better for their standing in World football to be fair.

And the way he dismisses our atmosphere, sour grapes and jealousy to me. Is he saying he wouldn't swap the fans on the kop on Sunday for those in the 80s... yeah, Whatever!

Spoilt entitled fans. Too used to getting everything their own way.

I guess some of our supporters humorous songs hit a nerve.
I wasn't at the match but from what I observed on TV was Cardiff fans enjoying a great day out watching our young team give 100% and the Liverpool fans sat looking miserable other than when they scored.

One of the best stadiums in the world?????????????????????? Has he even seen a newer stadium like spurs new one or the sofi stadium in LA to name just 2. Anfield isn't even in the top 100 as one of the best stadiums in the world. What it does have which the newer ones don't is a great history.

He's got a massive chip on his shoulder dating back to when we pipped County to promotion
to what is now the championship.
Not the first team he's had a pop
at us. He reckoned there youth team would have beat us in the Premier.

He sure sounds bitter about something. "Where's your famous atmosphere?".

Awwh is he sad that the TV exposed the myth that is the Anfield "atmosphere", not the 80s no more anfield is crap and most of their fans don't even know how to get there :lol:

John who...???? :? :?:

So good his club is listed as 'Tranmere Rovers'

So good he had to go to Ireland to get international recognition under Jack Charlton

So good he has to say something/anything controversial just to get noticed

Our support was class on Sunday and drowned out the 'famous Anfield atmosphere' quite easily

The guy is a 'has been' and should be taken with a pinch of salt and a very bitter lemon... :cry: :oops:

Surprised the Liverpool press give this pillock any print space. Only played for Liverpool because Rush went to Italy. When Rush came back, they binned him to the bench, then got rid. He also missed a pen in the cup final v Wimbledon.
In Liverpool’s illustrious history, than penalty miss will be all they remember him for.

Good day out in the Insole that was.. when the Cup was a big day out. Aldridge, fair play was an excellent player, had to be to play in that side.

Lol Alridge - a poor mans Ian Rush at best - in fact not even that - a poor mans Dean Saunders.

I guess he has to make a name for himself being the big 'I am' on Radio Scouse FM
