ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC" part 2

[MartSlinger]

They well and truly bottled the League - cant say im surprised not more has been said about it like.

All opinions of course, but if we blew the chance to go 10 points clear in a Title race and eventually blew a 7 point lead, id be absolutely fuming, none of this "We tried" bollocks they are all coming out with.

Spot on.

It's been utterly nauseating.

Even today the BBC lead with the headline, Liverpool can create history. Even though City have a chance to complete a domestic treble.

They did create history.
97 points and no trophy.

Saw that headline. The bbc our national broadcaster should be ashamed of their bias. Today they had Alan green (kopite) and Mark Lawrenson commentating on their impending ‘title success’. Pep was right about the media desperate for them to win it, even though this city team is arguably the best the league has ever seen in its entirety. 198 points in two seasons.

Imagine them NOT winning it after the ridiculously biased officiating they had go their way, freakish errors by Pickford/Lloris, to name but a couple. They won't go near that points total next season.

I try to not to bite at their goading personally, I just can’t be bothered with them these days most of the time due to the sheer level of obnoxiousness/arrogance. In some ways they have the right attitude in the sense they wouldn’t of tolerated half the stuff we have but on the other hand there is a real lack of humbleness drenched in a sort of snidey stench , think the James Pearce of the Echo type or the overweight slug who calls us “bitters” or “mongrels” the typical soulless jump on the bandwagon type.

Don’t get me wrong , we have a few horrible condescending blerts too, there’s a couple on this forum who get a kick out of trolling our own fans constantly but from experience they are on another level. I’ll admit today left me feeling a little unsure, on the one hand I get it, local rivals, banter, hatred etc etc and on the other seeing our fans enjoying themselves with the city flags , blue moon etc couldn’t help feel a little sad it’s yet another end of the season of us doing nothing of significance like a cup or title.

Well I fkin loved it. Go figure......

And so it begins... 3 weeks for them to convince themselves this game is already won. If Spurs survive the first 20 minutes they will be a complete mess.

The salt content here wow

We went to toe to toe with an absolutely corrupt machine. Overall, I think I'll call this the Kompany Title. Not only did he live a charmed life against us in the only game we lost, but smashing in a once in a lifetime goal brought them that title.

And no, there is no credit or fair play to City. They are the most corrupt sporting organization in the history of sport, funded by a country, and beholden to absolutely no rules. Waiting to hear about their punishment from UEFA...There is a reason why no one actually cares when they win anything, because they represent everything that is wrong with money and corruption in sports. Lance Armstrong and Barry Bonds are my idols too

RS (southerner, obviously) on talksport saying how disappointed he us at other fans laughing at them losing the league.

Why don't they understand why everyone dislikes them?

This is where they start ramping up the pressure on themselves, pressure on the side and pressure on the manager

Little piece on Channel 4 news right now..

Interviews with fans outside Anfield before KO - not a single scouser.

Interviews with City fans outside the Amex at full time - all mancs.

But na, the City fans are the 'plastics' lol

Everton: in your Goodison, stopping your Liverpool winning the league.

Because that would take the effort of taking their heads out of their own backsides

 

[tommytowne]

Yeah bad attitude, akin to the cretins doing the conga at HT 25 years ago at Villa Park when we were losing to Wimbledon. Enjoy their dismay, as they were all too happy to dance on our grave

Let nobody doubt that it happened by the way.
No conspiracy theory. They celebrated our demise alright.

 

[wba83]

Didn't want us to beat utd in 85 mate. They patronise us when we are behind them, different story when we challenge as the real rs comes out then. Thats the beauty of us blues, we are upfront and honest of our feelings at all times.

Nail on the head here
