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

[BlueWool85]

Phil Thompson is now at it,

"He's a good player, not a great player. If this was Suarez I'd give him what he wanted"

Wasn't RAHEEEEEEM the best player in the world a few months ago?

STERLING SLIDES

As we all know, Liverpool Football Club is special. Different. Classy. Unique. Special. Unique. Classy. Unique. Iconic. Unique. Special. Unique. Clubby. Clubbish. Clubesque. Special. Unique. Increasingly irrelevant. Over the hill. Past-it. Yesterday’s news. Special. Unique. Iconic. Unique. Special. Special. Special. Unique. Liverpool Football Club are special. And unique. And special. And classy. They’re special and specially unique and uniquely specially and specially special and uniquely classy and they have a different way of doing things, you wouldn’t understand, you just wouldn’t, because you’re not special, or classy, or unique, you’re not Liverpool Football Club, and you wouldn’t understand, so don’t even bother, just accept it, they’re the best football team in the tra-la-la-la land.

Liverpool Football Club’s specialness and uniqueness and classiness naturally places them in a position to pat lesser clubs on the head and let them know of their place in the food chain. Clubs, say, like Southampton, who were browbeaten into selling Adam Lallana and Dejan Lovren to mighty Liverpool last summer. “They have a choice as a club,” Liverpool’s head guru, Brendan Rodgers, roared last August. “They don’t have to sell. You have a choice. Maybe Southampton’s objectives have changed. They were looking to be a [Big Cup] club, I believe. They obviously wanted to change. There might be one or two others who leave. It’s just the way it works.” It’s. Just. The. Way. It. Works.

Words to live by. Poetry in motion that comes to mind now that Raheem Sterling is busy letting Liverpool know that the way it works is that he would like to leave in the summer, maybe join a bigger club, play for a team who actually have a chance of winning something in the near future, that there’s only so many times he can hear about the Miraculous Miracle of Istanbul before he’s forced to go all Van Gogh on his ears.

Treason! Naturally Sterling’s desire to play for a good team has been met with fury and The Fiver assumes he has spent the day locked in Melwood’s Re-education Chamber, a crack team of Phil Thompson, John Bishop and John Aldridge taking it in turns to hammer home the uniqueness and specialness and classiness of Liverpool Football Club, making sure Sterling knows that he will forever walk alone if he joins Manchester City, a terrifying prospect indeed. It’s just the way it works.

edit: also a hearty lol at Cassano there

Has every single ex Liverpool player commented about this, seriously starting to feel sorry for the kid. It is not Liverpool bullying him or him bullying Liverpool it is the ex kopites out there basically slagging him off, calling him names, saying he isn't good enough and that they don't care if he moves as they have Ibe (well why comment then if you don't care). For me that is the bullying right there, whether it is over dramatic to call it 'bullying' is another debate but I honestly feel that publically shaming a 19 year old who is simply trying to make a career for himself and make a massive decision that will affect that career is bullying.

This has taken their breed to new levels, in my opinion, it is only a football club you [Poor language removed] melts.

If this was Barkley or Stones that was saying this I could not imagine that every ex Blue in the media would be wading in saying what those ex reds are saying. There would be opinions and I am sure Reid, Sharpe, Horne, etc. would have opinions but saying things like 'never won anything, how dare he', he isn't good enough, if that was [Insert ex player] we would give them the money but not you' would just simply not happen (publically )

Class and dignity FC, you will always walk alone if you dare not to tow the party line.

Hahahahaha........the RS media brigade, having spent the last year saying what a world class player he is, have gone into overdrive to prove that Sterling isn't very good and how well the RS do when he doesn't play...........the lad has gone up in my opinion.....

[toffeejack]

Has anyone noticed that they all think he's shjite all of a sudden?

go back about 3 weeks in this thread and you will see nearly every evertonian post exactly how it would pan out.

i.e. he'll become overated, no end product, worse than ibe etc.

I hear Derek Acora has a message of Shanks calling him a bellend if he leaves

 

[Minimeister]

a transfer policy that prioritises the future over the present

I've heard their fans peddle this rubbish, but a national newspaper? Who exactly are these young players they've had to settle for rather than spend money on older players? Lallana? Lovren? Balotelli? Allen?

 

[LinekersLegs]

Their awards dinner is tonight, the crowd reaction if Sterling wins something could be interesting.

 

[bizzaro]

It wouldnt though, if it was brought in at the club level (ie the club could only spend X amount on its first team squad rather than X amount per player) and if it was implemented Europe-wide.

That's what I said. Only if it were a direct cap on players would it be challengable

 

[TheFinnFan]

seriously, who will they vote ??
