Never thought I would see them helping us out but fair play to them!!

Liverpool fans will fly a West Ham United flag in the Kop when the two sides meet live on Sky Sports on February 24th.
Angry West Ham fans have been protesting against David Sullivan and David Gold as they are deeply unhappy with the way the duo have run the club over the last decade.
Hammers supporters want Sullivan and Gold to sell up for a litany of reasons.
A growing group of disaffected West Ham fans named Hammers United held a protest ahead of the Everton game last month And they will release black balloons at Anfield in another public display of their feelings towards Sullivan and Gold before a further protest ahead of the home game against Southampton.
One of the catchlines of the Hammers United campaign is the slogan ‘GSB OUT’ – aimed at Gold Sullivan and Karren Brady.
Supporters have not been able to take the flags into home games and a fan who wore a GSB OUT t-shirt while he was flag-bearing at the London Stadium has been banned for the season by Sullivan and Gold.
The duo also threatened legal action against Sky’s Sunday Supplement over comments made in a segment that was heavily critical of their West Ham tenure.
That prompted a lengthy apology which has only served to cast the spotlight further on the way Sullivan and Gold run the club (Daily Mail).
Now, in what is a somewhat unprecedented move, Liverpool fans have united with their West Ham counterparts to fly a flag in the Kop, it has been claimed.
In exchange protesting West Ham fans will donate to a local foodbank in Liverpool.
“What a message this will send,” Hammers United posted on Twitter in response to speculation that Liverpool fans will be flying the protest flag.
“Anyone travelling please donate if you can.”

They're pretty sure they're going to win easily aren't they?
Still it would be a surprisingly decent move from the own fan killers.

Does this mean we can't leave copies of the Sun in the Arkle pub this year ?

I hate this sort of thing.
They’re not our mates, they’re a bunch of glory hunters and victim addicts.
A football club is the fans, not the owners. I can’t stand that club, and I’m not letting the owners get in the way of that.

Spirit of Shankly group have been supportive of us for the last couple of years. Liverpool FC themselves have been very helpful and accommodating regarding the demo and taking flags in etc.
There are plenty of justified beefs many many have with them, but right now, they are being very decent and are great allies.
If they do do this, with a big flag on the Kop, it will be a massive kick in GSB's private bits, and it will signal something bigger than just our massive troubles. What's happened to us, could happen to any club. Birmingham tried to warn us, and now we should warn everyone else.
Protect your heritage. If you're not careful, it can be stolen right under your noses.

I prefer radicalised Muslim jihadists to scousers. Fuck them and their flags.

I bet this doesn't happen. I can imagine a large percentage of their fans probably aren't that keen on us either. I'd imagine that flag will last about five seconds before it's absolutely fucked.

I suspect that the majority of viewers around the world on this won't know or care about the feelings one set of fans have for another, and at this level, it's not a show-stopper.
What is important is that a protest of one group of fans against their owners is being advertised by a set of fans from a rival club; it raises the profile one more notch.
If only a small percent of the global audience of this game ask "What the fuck is all that about?", or the local commentator tries to explain it - along with the black balloons - the disentitling voice of the fans - fans that make the match-day experience what it is, without the need for popcorn or half-and-half scarves gains further traction.
