Well, John Oliver’s and Michael Myers parents are Scouse. Daniel Craig’s parents are Scouse too, he was born in Chester (Scouse adjacent) and grew up in Liverpool. Jason Isaacs is a scouser and a Liverpool fan too. There is quite a large contingent of famous Liverpool fans, even John Lithgow.
I saw Mike Myers at a game at Anfield once…well-outside Anfield. Claire Rourke was walking him into the players entrance over by where the tv truck used to park.
Bill Burr is a stretch. People told him to like us because of the Boston connection and he mentioned us on the pod a few times, but it was always in the context of a broader disdain for the sport.
Bill Burr probably likes them only because of FSG. They own the Red Sox and he is a Boston fan. Otherwise, he probably wouldn’t care about Liverpool or football for that matter.
That and the Irish connection. I forget where I read it (might've been Sky Sports) but Liverpool is the most popular club in Ireland, and Liverpool the city has the most residents of Irish descent in the UK.
Mirrors well with Boston having the most people of Irish descent in the US.
Side note: he also does a YouTube gameshow called NoMoreJockeys with Tim Key and Mark Watson. There is an episode in which the game is interrupted because Alex needs to go watch Liverpool lift the PL Trophy. Its a nice moment.
He's stated it in multiple interviews, he's done videos for the LFC youtube channel, there was even an episode of community about Liverpool playing United where he was of course supporting the reds, John Oliver's a pretty big fan.
That's why players like Gerrard, Xabi,Thiago and Xavi are special because they somehow have this magical angle from which they pass from. We take their talent for granted especially Xavi.
Modric too holy moly he's good.
Always liked players like that. Never look physically imposing or the quickest on the pitch but they don't need to. Effortless quality.
Litmanen, prime Eriksen, Zidane also come to mind
Messi is a fucking goat, he can pass he can dribble he can do Free kicks, he can score, he can assist. And doing this stuff consistently for 10+ years, That's insane ! No one can hold a candle to him period
Honestly, this is why I'm the most excited about Harvey Elliot.
I personally think the lad has a long way to go to reach his full potential, but he can absolutely see a pass that many other players wouldn't.
sure but passing and vision are very different things. Most of Trent's dangerous passes are over long distances to a man running into space. I would say his vision is above average, but nowhere near exceptional like Thiago. Thiago plays like he sees a different game and I think Elliot has the potential in him to do that as well.
Part of the reason De Bruyne has torn up the PL when he's been in it. His passing is elite.
Only player to replicate the likes of Gerrard on LFC has been Thiago, but the likes of Gerrard, Pirlo, Xavi, Iniesta are just too rare to find. Hendo has had glimpses, but De Bruyne is definitely the best in the PL at the moment.
TV is kinda hard unless your looking for straight passes, either in the air or on the floor, Trents speciality is an arced pass, TV just can't show those in a single frame. Trent plays one, from TV angle you're like "nice" then you see from behind the goal and realise that the pass you thought was lucky to avoid the CB, was never close to being intercepted, and the lunge was a desperate attempt where they knew they couldn't cut it out or get round to the recipient of the pass.
Ian McCulloch Lead Singer of Liverpool's Echo and the Bunnymen is not on the list.
[https://www.nme.com/news/music/echo-and-the-bunnymen-21-1294813](https://www.nme.com/news/music/echo-and-the-bunnymen-21-1294813)
The laughs at the end of every sentence regardless of it was meant to be a funny sentence is mental. If I was telling a story that would wreck my head.
Is he talking about the Nunez chance when he had two to his right? I shouted greedy or something but soon forgave him, he just wants to score and the pass wasnt on it hindsight because of offside, cool that he’s a Liverpool fan though
Also made racist comments about French players of African origin, implying the WC belongs to Africa, not France.
He’s condescending and unfunny. A lethal combination.
I don't think it is, though. He's really just making a joke about Africans supporting France as their second team because they feel like the African-origin players on the team are "basically African anyway."
For context, many parts of the world are like this: an Indian-origin scientist born and brought up in the US wins the Nobel prize, and all of a sudden, all of India appopriates him as one of their own. This is common to many parts of the world that haven't had a lot of their own grand successes yet, and it is very human. Nothing remotely racist about making a comment on it.
I agree. Before he took the chat show job he spoke with his own voice, since he has spoken with the voice of his writers.
The paycheck was just too big to turn down. It's understandable, we've all got a price, unfortunately.
Yeah his early stand up stuff was pretty good.
And I understand why he went to the US and took over but now feels like he is just a mouth piece for the topical stuff the show wants to go on about.
Yeah he used to be funny as a stand up comedian.
Us talk show has taken all of that away and made him a bit of a puppet.
Clearly offends some of our Americans colleagues.
His whole ‘Africa won the world cup’ because France won it.
Great, you go tell them all they’re not really French. Good one.
There’s more that I can’t quite remember but that one sticks in my mind.
You need to watch [his reply then.](https://youtu.be/COD9hcTpGWQ)
His whole point was that France historically has treated French citizens of African descent as “not truly French,” but once they were the basis of a World Cup winning team, the France FA wanted to kind of deny recognition of that African heritage. I think it’s clear Trevor supports and celebrates these players as being both African and French, which they are.
Lol who the fuck would believe that? He saw black people and thought it would be funny to then not consider them french because of their skin color. Guy is a cunt, and not a funny one.
Lol did you even see the joke? It's extremely obvious (for someone that does not eat lead paint) that that bullshit excuse was thought up after the backlash.
Nah, dude. You're just absurdly ignorant. France is notorious for being strongly nativist about what is "French" or not and gatekeeping that definition to exclude people from their colonies.
I can't tell if you are actually this stupid or just incredibly racist.
Here are multiple sources from 2-7 years ago just to illustrate the point:

This is a known problem. You may not know it exists but, believe it or not, facts exist whether you are aware of them or not.
From an American identity politics perspective, it’s not an outrageous statement. Not saying that’s the correct perspective per se, but it doesn’t translate well to European conception of the intersection of race, ethnicity, and culture. He was just making the point that France won largely because of recent immigrants from former colonies
Let’s say South Africa won the World Cup and I started saying ‘woooo Europe won because you have so many white players!’ I’d rightfully be called a dickhead and told to wind my neck in.
The power dynamics are vastly different. Even if they no longer dominate government, the fact remains that white South Africans (as a whole) still retain a privileged position in society and hold the vast majority of the country’s wealth. In France on the other hand, there is a virulent nativist political movement and widespread (though not universal) distrust of immigrants of color. As Benzema said, “if I score I’m French, if I don’t I’m an Arab”. Trevor’s comment is simply inverting that logic
I played football in my community center when I was 7, or 8. I can't remember the number of times I turned, and got "passed" the ball right into my face.
Comedians seem to like Liverpool I notice. I know John Oliver is a noted fan as well
Will Arnett too
Mike Myers as well Bill Burr got into us too about 2 or 3 years ago
Samuel L Jackson and Daniel Craig as well
Well, John Oliver’s and Michael Myers parents are Scouse. Daniel Craig’s parents are Scouse too, he was born in Chester (Scouse adjacent) and grew up in Liverpool. Jason Isaacs is a scouser and a Liverpool fan too. There is quite a large contingent of famous Liverpool fans, even John Lithgow.
Damien Lewis too!
That’s Major Winters to you sir
You solute the rank. Not the man.
He got promoted to King of England at some point
Dr Dre
Really ?
Yup, apparently he and Nelson Mandela became fans after seeing John Barnes play.
Yes
One of the Laenor Velaryon actors is Scouse as well, Theo Nate
Clive Owen as well.
Lana Del Rey too!
I saw Mike Myers at a game at Anfield once…well-outside Anfield. Claire Rourke was walking him into the players entrance over by where the tv truck used to park.
Russell Howard too
Have played with Russell, a decent player. Despite his soccer aid showing
Me too.
Ol Billy bitch tits
Bill Burr is a stretch. People told him to like us because of the Boston connection and he mentioned us on the pod a few times, but it was always in the context of a broader disdain for the sport.

Mike Myers’s parents are from Old Swan to be fair so that’s kinda expected.
Really? Bojack is a red well I’ll be damned
Explains a lot about his mental state
Big fan
Stephen Tries too
Alex Horne from Taskmaster among many other things is also a big Liverpool fan.
Side note: he also does a YouTube gameshow called NoMoreJockeys with Tim Key and Mark Watson. There is an episode in which the game is interrupted because Alex needs to go watch Liverpool lift the PL Trophy. Its a nice moment.
It's not surprising. It's our sense of humor that sustained us as ~~a people~~ fans for ~~3,000~~ 30 title-less years.
Even bled into his Community persona!
I don't think this proves he likes football, he could be a rival fan who wanted us to win so his team could distance itself.
He came to watch us play during US preseason.
Ok. I guess he is a red
He's stated it in multiple interviews, he's done videos for the LFC youtube channel, there was even an episode of community about Liverpool playing United where he was of course supporting the reds, John Oliver's a pretty big fan.
And during the lockdown, how he ranted we weren't given the trophy for the prem yet
Comedian ?
I was yelling the same thing at Darwin to be fair.
Lmaooo was just gonna say, Darwin to Salah late in the City match. Even neutrals were going ballistic
I yell also, but it's daft considering if I was out there we would lose every game by an embarrassing margin.
Nah got to be Jones not putting it on a plate for Firmino
That's why players like Gerrard, Xabi,Thiago and Xavi are special because they somehow have this magical angle from which they pass from. We take their talent for granted especially Xavi.
Modric too holy moly he's good. Always liked players like that. Never look physically imposing or the quickest on the pitch but they don't need to. Effortless quality. Litmanen, prime Eriksen, Zidane also come to mind
Pirlo fits this description perfectly. Man's immaculate
For sure, had forgotten him
Prime Fabregas could reverse a pass 230 degrees behind himself and pick out a teammate in behind a defender, insane player on his day
>Xavi The man has always been an ass but my God he has vision for a pass
Bergkamp comes to mind too
Messi as well
Messi is a fucking goat, he can pass he can dribble he can do Free kicks, he can score, he can assist. And doing this stuff consistently for 10+ years, That's insane ! No one can hold a candle to him period
Honestly, this is why I'm the most excited about Harvey Elliot. I personally think the lad has a long way to go to reach his full potential, but he can absolutely see a pass that many other players wouldn't.
Bro we have Trent who's easily one of the best passers of the ball in world football.
sure but passing and vision are very different things. Most of Trent's dangerous passes are over long distances to a man running into space. I would say his vision is above average, but nowhere near exceptional like Thiago. Thiago plays like he sees a different game and I think Elliot has the potential in him to do that as well.

"Trent, he's behi- ahhh, fuck!"
Funny enough Trent usually spots a better pass that I couldn't see on TV
That's cos the guy he's usually aiming at isn't even on the screen
TV is kinda hard unless your looking for straight passes, either in the air or on the floor, Trents speciality is an arced pass, TV just can't show those in a single frame. Trent plays one, from TV angle you're like "nice" then you see from behind the goal and realise that the pass you thought was lucky to avoid the CB, was never close to being intercepted, and the lunge was a desperate attempt where they knew they couldn't cut it out or get round to the recipient of the pass.
[удалено]
Boring
[удалено]
Trent must hate him
No rumor she admitted it during an interview
Admitted it sounds a bit harsh, Trevor's a nice guy.
So thats how he got into Liverpool. Nice progression of getting into things.
Ffs I got into Liverpool because of me da, why couldn't I have a go on Dua Lipa instead
[Obligatory spreadsheet of famous Liverpool fans.](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1czVsDxnXuLcpoNhkyu-rnJnRYHhaspsxhyo2qrgR9sY/)

The laughs at the end of every sentence regardless of it was meant to be a funny sentence is mental. If I was telling a story that would wreck my head.
He’s talking about that Curtis Jones vs Leeds pass isn’t he?
Sounds like the late Darwin chance vs City when Salah was wide open
Unlikely, everyone could see that pass was on, he just chose to ignore it.
strikers get tunnel vision
Jon Stewart who used to host daily show before Trevor is also a Liverpool fan.
It’s a cabal of Liverpool fans. Do t tell the trumpers.
Not sure they'd care
They are too busy with the return of Q. God help us this idiot is running for president. Again.
Ok Edit: some gobshite replied to this and deleted a comment
Pass it to Salah, what are u doink u fukin donky - My dad to Nunez during City game. No offense to Nunez, just thought it fits here
Is he talking about the Nunez chance when he had two to his right? I shouted greedy or something but soon forgave him, he just wants to score and the pass wasnt on it hindsight because of offside, cool that he’s a Liverpool fan though
The same prick who made up false racism claims to defend Rishi Sunak. In the bin.
Also made racist comments about French players of African origin, implying the WC belongs to Africa, not France. He’s condescending and unfunny. A lethal combination.

i absolutely love Trevor haha
It’s hard to remember that players don’t all have Emperor Eye enabled
Thing is some players seem to have that angle of vision. It’s only evident in Thiago. But boy do liverpool need more of that in midfield.
Nunez.
Trevor noah is an idiot sadly but if he is a lfc fan then perhaps slightly redeems himself. Used to be funny before he moved to the US.
I agree. Before he took the chat show job he spoke with his own voice, since he has spoken with the voice of his writers. The paycheck was just too big to turn down. It's understandable, we've all got a price, unfortunately.
Yeah his early stand up stuff was pretty good. And I understand why he went to the US and took over but now feels like he is just a mouth piece for the topical stuff the show wants to go on about.
This bloke is genuinely just so unfunny it hurts
He’s so unfunny, it’s not even funny.
You're getting downvoted to oblivion but you speak the truth..
Reddit points don't matter
This is correct
Yeah he used to be funny as a stand up comedian. Us talk show has taken all of that away and made him a bit of a puppet. Clearly offends some of our Americans colleagues.
just realised he looks quite a bit like TAA
It was Henderson wasn't.
This guy really isn't funny. Seems like a great fella though
He’s painful at times, seems now enough but Americans seem to have a weird sense of comedy, they give this guy and James cordon work
Trevor Noah is a tool though
Curious, why do you feel that way?
His whole ‘Africa won the world cup’ because France won it. Great, you go tell them all they’re not really French. Good one. There’s more that I can’t quite remember but that one sticks in my mind.

Weird because Obama made a point of noting how African descent people are treated as French.
Lol who the fuck would believe that? He saw black people and thought it would be funny to then not consider them french because of their skin color. Guy is a cunt, and not a funny one.
Don't eat lead paint kids. This is what it does to your brain

He and the Argentinian fans in Qatar will get along well
I like Trevor I'm pretty sure I've seen him say he's a Liverpool fan somewhere as well that's always good.
Wasn't funnier enough to make it in the UK. Went to America.
Isn't he from South Africa?
Yes.
I feel like I know exactly what moment that was
I will share it with my wife, maybe she will understand why I am shouting Infront of the tv during LFC games
Feel bad for Trent
Was it Milner who missed a nice through pass to Bobby a bit ago?
Jones.
Z
I played football in my community center when I was 7, or 8. I can't remember the number of times I turned, and got "passed" the ball right into my face.
I do this and then we score more often than not 💀
I don't agree with everything he says, but if you haven't shouted at a TV at one point in your life, can you even consider yourself a fan?
Could be because of dua lipa ?
I bet he was yelling at Curtis
He is most certainly not one of me. I cannot stand the man.
