F*** you, they’re coming back” – John Oliver convinces Americans to support Liverpool

English comedian John Oliver is known for his acerbic humour on US television's hit show Last Week Tonight.

He may be Birmingham born and raised but Liverpool are his team and he doesn't care who knows about it. His show is currently off the air, meaning he has been able to take a break from laying into the likes of Sepp Blatter, David Cameron and the Paris attackers in order to turn his attention to his original passion. Oliver was approached by the Reds to help promote their upcoming tour of the United States, where they will take on Chelsea and AC Milan in California. As part of the LFC TV promo, Oliver explains why Liverpool are the team to support.

"They're the most successful team in the history of sport. That's not necessarily backed up with recent results but... f*** you, they're coming back," he says.

There's high praise for 'funny, angry German' Jurgen Klopp, a Stevie G reference and a promise for your spine to tingle when you hear You'll Never Walk Alone. We're not 100% convinced, yet. https://twitter.com/LFC/status/756149664479518722
