PaddockLad 14923 Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 To be fair I don't think anyone would slag Liverpool off if they were as humble as what Idioteque has been so far. TOUGH Guy Mick is completely typical of the majority of their mouthy twats and gets people on the offensive straight away. You'll get offensive if wankers took the piss out your city? Don't get me wrong every city in the UK has got its problems so dont have a go at Liverpool have a go at the MPs for fuck sake. Sterotyping happens to much on this site. If you cant beat them join them on this site thats the way it goes. By the way Liverpool has history a thing that seems to piss a hard hit jobless north east. Yeah..human slavery and poverty stricken Irish immigrant ghettoes...nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom_NUFC 0 Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 I'm more familiar with the other side of the river where I have family, but I was down for the away game at Everton earlier in the season and went into Liverpool for the first time in years (apart from going to Goodison/Anfield and straight out again). I have to say it's improved a lot, and I enjoyed it. I would say Matthew Street is worth going to, even if it is a massive Beatles tourist trap. They had a live band on at The Cavern when I went that were really good, doing all sorts of stuff and there was a good atmosphere. I went in a few other places around and they were just ordinary places, nothing special about them though other than they either had Beatles related names or were full of Beatles memorabilia. They have a Head of Steam pub right next door to Lime Street station which wasn't open when we wanted a pre match pint upon arrival at Lime Street shortly after midday. We got in after the match and it's pretty much like the Head of Steam pubs here - so it's decent. Everyone was kicked out shortly after six though as they were closing! But I think that may have been a one off. Across the road and down a bit from Lime Street there's a place called Doctor Duncans which we tried and it's a nice traditional pub. The Philharmonic pub west of Lime Street is worth a look as well, especially for the architecture of the pub. Speaking of Architecture, Liverpool has it's highlights. Down by the river of course there's the 'three graces' - the Liver Building, the Cunard building and the Port of Liverpool building (my Grandad's old workplace). And there's St George's Hall opposite Lime Street. What you don't get though is the architecture in the ordinary streets. There's nothing wrong with many of Liverpool's streets. It's just that they're quite ordinary. You don't get anything that matches Grey Street, Grainger Street, or anything like the Central Arcade. Nor do you see large sections of 900 year old city walls or castles, nor do you see beautiful original Tudor houses such as Bessie Surtees or The Cooperage. So anyway, Liverpool isn't as bad as some are making out (or the centre at least). It's decent enough and you'll enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 18053 Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Main difference is that they've got a wider river and we've got some bridges. I think the second Tyne tunnel is opening next year, isn't it? Ridiculous to use tunnels as some kind of landmark though The kingsway tunnel is no landmark for Liverpool its just that Craig lad he said we've got some bridges Aye, because Newcastle is defined by its bridges. Tbf there's been a lot of development in Liverpool recently, I hardly recognise some of it. Both cities have improved massively in the past two decades.

The Fish 9240 Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 There are some great underground drinking places To steer this back on track, any ones in particular you recommend? I dont know any underground pubs/clubs in Liverpool and I'm from Liverpool ffs. I know a few clubs in Liverpool you walk downstairs to get in but thats the basement not underground. Not unless this dude is drinking tins of larger at Liverpools underground train stations. Can't believe nobody picked up on this earlier. This kid, he couldn't be a bigger moron if he tried.
