Liverpool IS a city.
Liverpool ARE a football club.
Liverpool, the city, IS employing a new mayor.
Liverpool, the football club, ARE signing a new player.

Capitalising doesn't make you right bud
What's the difference between Liverpool the football club and Liverpool the city in this context?
Chronic is in fact absolutely correct; they can both be right (depends if you're talking about it as a singular unit [the club] or multiple units [the fans for eg] and of course they (collective so I can use --->are indeed a joke.
I think I've got that rightknow the joke part is

Guys! Using "are" in the context of a single / singular item is wrong! Liverpool is a single city. Liverpool FC is a single club. Using are in those examples above is wrong. If you're referring to the fans, then specify that in the construct and then use are eg "Liverpool fans *are* deluded if they think Liverpool will make Top 4 this season."
----------------------------------------------------------------------
OK, so to the point of the article: as a fan, do you use 'us' and 'we' when talking about the club you support?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I did answer somewhere above but wouldn't suggest you go looking for it. Basically, I interchange. I do say "we" because of the attachment by virtue of being a fan but actually think I should use "Arsenal" or "they" or whatever purely on the basis of ownership. I don't own any shares so the club isn't really mine.
