LIVERPOOL chiefs began advertising tickets for the FA Cup fourth-round clash with Burnley hours BEFORE their humiliating KO by Reading.
Anfield officials were so confident they emailed season-ticket holders just after 5pm on Wednesday, urging them to place advance orders.
Kop fan Martin Jones, 51, stormed: "I didn't read it until after the game.
"When I got on the computer and opened it up I couldn't believe my eyes. It was bad enough to crash out of the cup but then for the club to try and sell me tickets for the next round was like a slap in the face.
"It's not only embarrassing for the club, it's disrespectful to Reading."
Michael Edwards, 48, said: "We're in terrible form so it's ridiculously cocky to fire off emails assuming we're going to breeze past Reading."
Jon Keen of START - Supporters Trust at Reading - said: "It's typical of the Big Four. The fact they viewed it as such a formality makes it doubly satisfying we knocked them out."
