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

[gwladysnight]

I think I've seen four or five articles about them every single day this season, its unbareable. Every single game, I've seen a headline about an analysis of what they've done in that match. Every single game, other teams are lucky to see 3 or 4 a season

I remember the mid 80's when everyone talked about us.

I remember the mid 80's when everyone talked about us.

The thing is they didn’t .the day after winning the league at Norwich. Big back page about Utd . And a little piece in the corner about us winning the title . You’ve only got to look at the lack of credit Kendall gets in the media

A union that’s allows the singing of Munich songs at their end of season do’s

It's society's problem...nothing to do with Spirit of Shankly...

Okay, back in the days of slavery and Jim Crow down in the southern United States, your average African-American was liable to be strung up for looking at or talking to a white lady. A whole mythology grew up around this of black men as "beasts" unable to control their primitive sexual urges, the fact that they were traded as animals with some slavers even going so far as to "breed" particular slaves led to a whole load of nasty imagery around black men as animals.

In the weird way repression works, these folks were worried that their dainty women folk would, once ravished by these sub-humans, enjoy it and turn their backs on the white race, this was the justification for the policy of lynching those seen in conversation with a white woman. Thus, in these people's warped subconscious they were not only beasts unable to control themselves but irresistible as well... And as a crude example of their heightened masculinity, the myth of the large penis was born.

David Remnick has a very good chapter about this in his book about Mohammed Ali.

ah, so it's an American thing. No wonder a lot British people don't quite understand it

It's as if they were champions or something - which let's remind ourselves - they are not - they are only runners up, having only managing a draw at Goodison Park in the ring up. The BBC is not impartial with their sports coverage . Complain to Ofcom.

 

[Ciao]

would really love Leicester to win the league by a point in the last game

Hello mate

 

[Billysgingham.]

And that's why sponsors throw money at them, they get 5 times the coverage anyone else gets, sponsors run the game now, covering up drug cheats and threatening law suits on drug testers , no wonder they jumped ship.

Expect a few “YNWA hashtags directed at Southampton as a mark of penmanship”.

If the Spuds get a decent result tomorrow, they will be crapping their pants.

It’s a massive IF though mate . Liverpool 3-0 then spurs will win there first away since last December ( against us ) next week at Goodison.
