So where did you read or hear about the above? If having to go legal to set the record straight is not being on the backfoot then I honestly don't know what is. He's fucked up. They know it. It's now about damage limitation for him and them.In what way are Liverpool on the back foot with the media here?
The Times has completely removed their article, and every other paper is quickly filling up with articles on how he’s defiantly telling city he’s not xenophobic and taking action to clear his name.
Absolutely, no one fuckin falls for it. Look at the comments about them the other dayI don't believe journalists fall for their guff, I believe they are instructed to do so.
I've seen that all over media online, whether it's true or not is another matter. The fact that it was reported as "an anonymous source said..." leaves the question as too who exactly he's taking legal action against. Would a journalist release a name?So where did you read or hear about the above? If having to go legal to set the record straight is not being on the backfoot then I honestly don't know what is.

But the sheep do fall for it unfortunately. That's why we are FFP cheats. An 'oil club'. Underhand / backhand payment cheats. Inflating sponsorship deals cheats. Attendance figures / ticket sales cheats. Haalands on £900K a week cheats etc I could go on and on. The average person in the street who has a passing interest in football gets bombarded with this bullshit virtually on a daily basis and it sinks in. That's what propganda is designed to do. I've been out to parties and gatherings and spoke to people about football, told them that I'm a City fan and all of the above immediately gets regurgitated. The people who leave the comments are in a very small minority overall. That's why they do it.Absolutely, no one fuckin falls for it. Look at the comments about them the other day
OK. Fine.That's not what's happened here.
He's slapped a legal threat on someone who published something defamatory and they've wilted like spinach.
wasnt roman's was it them bloody chelsea fans againSeen quite a few Liverpool fans claiming Samuel has been caught on super yachts in Abu Dhabi, fuck knows where they get that information from. I’m calling bullshit.
I think the City statement was a warning shot across the bows, meant not just for Klopp. The American owners and their acolytes have got away with too much for too long when it comes to misinformation.I think there's a change afoot. Eddie Howe in the DT this morning has a sizeable article which pulls no punches and NUFC are clearly not gonna sit back and take the shite that Klopp just flings around the place, sorry the shit that Klopp flings around the place that the rest of the nation completely misunderstands.
