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

[rylojr]

By the way, in amongst all that mirth and merriment yesterday this got lost: for the third time against rivals and potential rivals, Liverpool targeted their opponent's best player to injure. The did it with Rashford, they did it with Kane, and they did it yesterday with Thiago's attack on Gundogan.

No chance of this being flagged up by their craven media though.

I fully expect Barnes or Maddison to be targeted when they play Leicester next match up. The derby will see them try and put James on a stretcher.

They are a disgrace. And their defence of a title has been utterly pathetic - marked by belly aching, rubbish performances, and (now) resorting to attempting to kick their opponents off the pitch.

Laughing stocks and fully deserving it.

Van Dijk, remember him, hit James and DCL in the first 10mins in the derby, they have a history of it.

This is what happens when you get pulled back when running but try to stay on your feet ( the second gif) :



Not throwing your hands in the air and collapsing.

The reporter should have said: "How about you preparing well to do your job? You Teutonic tit."

I mean yes probably. However tmhe way he handled himself I think was fine. He was very professional.

The wider point, is I look at Klopp and see a man who at best is really not enjoying himself and is miserable. At worst, looks to be having a prolonged episode. I mean he wouldn't be out of place as an extra in a Brett Easten Ellis novel at this point.

I am not sure I see a man who is going to be in it for the long term at all. He jumped ship at Dortmund just in time to preserve reputation. That thought must be going through his head now.

@Death may be able to back me up here but I reckon Irish Liverpool fans are, almost to a man, the weirdest bunch of overcompensators you'll ever meet

I agree
My local is infested with them ,even one of the barmen is a season ticket holder

 

[Efcjake]

That will be the end of the Mbappe pipe dreams as well

 

[duncs pigeon]

What did he say in his 1st interview when he took the rs job? 'Im the normal one' having a dig at Jose. You sure aint normal ya tit.

A good number of very salient points there Catcher.
Particularly about the racism. City are owned by Arabs. Thefore it is 'dirty oil money' from brown people. That is bad.
Liverpool are owned by Americans so money generated by hedge funds and totally corrupt banks (Standard Charter) is clean money from white people. So that is good. The Guardian are pretty much openly blatant regarding their racism for Manchester City (not to mention the Daily Mail). As you say, the same with the Glaziers who have nothing short of financially raped Manchester United football club and the same is about to happen to Burnley - but hey that's OK. Nothing said by the TV & media companies at all. Infact FSG are held up as the ideal business model in football.
City have spent oodles of money, of course they have. However, so have every other club who have won the PL title. United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Blackburn and even Leicester broke FFP rules in 2013 which enabled them to get promoted and back into the PL and win the title 2 seasons later. And it will continue to stay that way. You are also correct about PL before Abramovich. United won the PL something like 8 times in 11 years (and Ferguson broke the British transfer record something like 6 times during his reign). They threw money and wages around like nobody's business and totally dominated the league. Basically, they had become the Bayern Munich of English football (ironically with very significant sponsorship money from Saudi Arabia). What a lot of people don't realise or refuse to acknowledge is that City was forced to throw the money around after the takeover as FFP was being introduced, initially to stop Chelsea and then by default City or any other club that had serious financial resources to invest. We had to buy the likes of Aguero, Yaya Toure, David Silva etc before the gates closed forever. It wasn't by choice. Everyone goes up in arms and say City have spent a billion pounds since the takeover! Yes they have but the CFG group is now valued at $4.8 billion dollars. It is completely debt free and City have made a profit year on year since 2015. To me that is extremely savvy financial investment. All done whilst the club are winning trophy after trophy. As I have posted before, just wait for the media to get their teeth in Everton when you start to win trophies and usurp your neighbours across Stanley Park. It will be relentless, day after day, week after week. There will be story after story casting dubious aspersions on how Moshri made his money and where it has come from? Your fans will be held personally responsible for any human rights abuses they can think off. Matthew Syed of The Times actually referred to City fans as 'Vicious Rats' over human rights abuses. Be ready for accusations of 'Sportswashing' and your fans will be 'PR stooges' just like me and the other odd 55,000 fans who have supported my club and your club since you were school childern. Basically it boils down to two things in my mind: The first is racisim, without a doubt. The second one is fear. The fear of the established so called 'elite' cartel clubs who are scared to death that some other club outside of their cosy, corrupt group may come along and take their place at the top table and force them off the gravy train that they believe they are entitled to.

Yes I agree with all of that. Why is it City fans responsibility what happens in Abu Dhabi, anymore than it's Liverpool or United fans responsibility what happens in America? And trust me, there have been some awful things happening under the last president.

I'd like to know how people like Matthew Syed sleep at night, writing for a paper owned by Rupert Murdoch who put Trump in power. Fair enough thats not Syed' fault, but he's got a damn site more agency than City fans have.

On the specifics of the spending, my preference would always be a completely fair system, a bit like the American model. Salary caps, recruitment caps, structured payments and benefits to the poorest in the business to help generate competition. However, if we can't have that, then I'm all for a free market as opposed to a distorted one. People can spend what they like, how they like.

They go on about people tryijng to get around stupid rules, and you think- if the rules are wrong, it's inevitable. Just get rid of the rules.

Good post, but those dreams never really existed.

 

[Carloblues]

Horrible bitter lanky rat.

Nothing better than watching him implode,.telling you know it won't be long until these players start to turn against him because it seems as though he's starting to slate them more and more in his interviews, constantly saying they aren't doing what he's asking and they aren't making the right decisions etc.

Heard one yesterday that made me laugh. " Worst ever title defence, since Kerry Katona won parent of the year". lol
