ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC" part 3

Jamo Martinez said:
Given their respective ages, take a wild guess who'd be getting better value.

The asking prices might be relatively aligned.

If that ended up happening, which for me is almost impossible, undoubtedly Liverpool getting the better deal. But with two year and one year on contracts, I would think the cash sum would be similar.

They most certainly stick to the script to appease their armchair customers (Liverpool & United). It's exactly the same when City play.
All of the pundits & co-commentators are ex Liverpool / United players and trot out the usual soundbites like 'tactical fouling',
'£400 million spent on centre backs', '£200 million sat on the bench' etc etc. along with seeing how many times they can mention Liverpool
or United in a game that has totally nothing to do with them? We call it 'City Bingo' It rarely takes more than 20 minutes or so to get the full card.
As you say the bias is extreme and they don't even try to hide it. It's blatant.

I do this as well. See how long it takes for them to mention LFC in a completely unrelated match. I emailed Sky at the height of the witch hunt against Pickford. I complained about their pundits, especially Sounness. were stirring up hatred against Pickford so much that he had to employ security to protect his family. I also threw in the racial stereotyping he had used against South and Central American players. To make a long story short my response from them was basically F off, he's staying.
 

Its about time Souness was brought down to earth by some fresh faces at Sky. Hes turning into a much nastier version of Hansen at MOTD... in a comfort zone where he can say what he likes and make jaded half arsed observations as though hes breaking new ground. Noone takes him on with any thrust fearful of losing their own golden handshakes there. He needs to be told that hes there to debate the action on the pitch not to eulogise his old club and have an agenda against others bordering on obsession. Its about time this tiresome dinosaur got stuffed.

he'll come a cropper when he makes a lazy racial stereotype comment that he cant wriggle out of, most of the commentators/pundits are just walking cliches.

He didn't want to give up on football after watching his own fans slaughter 39 innocent people in a football stadium, or give up football when 96 fans were killed in a stadium disaster...just when they put out a team with Shelvey, Kelly, Skrtel etc in it.

He was probably supporting another club at some of the other periods.
 

If they win the league, they win it. I really don't give a frog's fat ass.
On their way to winning it, I want them to batter all the teams around us, so at least if we can't win it, we can push for Europe.
