Media coverage 2018/19

[Groke]

on BBC 6 music news this am - they never mention football normally, but apparently it was one of the greatest comebacks in football history. Got to love the Beeb (especially if you are a predatory paedophile).

I’ll never understand the media love in with the dippers. They are always the victims - woe is me, totally forgetting Heysel and the disdain Europeans had/have got Liverpool fans - and by association English fans too.

They play up this whole Arab money and the Sheik being a monster but conveniently forget that the EPL is awash with villains and sponsors that are less than savoury (child labour, corruption, environmental sabotage, tax evasion etc). And if we’re being brutally honest the UAE is one of the most palatable countries within the Middle East - it’s trying to westernise itself as much as possible.

The media like to portray City as having been solely financed by a sugar daddy, conveniently forgetting that 1) Man City are self-sufficient, which in part is due to the riches of the EPL. And 2) most teams have been propped up at some point by a benefactor. Man United - John Davies and James Gibson; Liverpool - the Moore’s; Arsenal and the £50m investment by Danny Fizman in the 90s; Chelsea and of course Abramovich.

It’s funny how white Anglo-Saxon investors are good but Middle Eastern investors are bad.

If we win the title on Sunday, the talk will continue for a bit on Monday, then end there. The cup final will then get fuck all coverage, a few hours on the Saturday, then for three weeks and God knows how many months after if they win it, it will be dipper dipper dipper champ league final coverage.The prem league is a relentless campaign as Pep says, whereas the champs league is more of a lottery, can afford to lose games along the way and still get to the final. Would I swap their season for ours so far, not a fucking chance.

Let them enjoy it I couldn’t care less, get this over the line and what an enjoyable week it will be leading up to the Fa Cup final. Liverpool couldn’t lay a glove on us when they played us this season and they shit the bed when they saw the centurions chasing them down. The difference between City and Liverpool is that City set out to win every game and tournament they are in, Liverpool unfortunately can’t.

Let's get over the line and create history...

Trust me, if City win at Brighton, Anfield will be a morge at full-time on Sunday, and it will be live on TV for the World to see. Regardless of what Liverpool did last night, 9 months of effort, fight, toil, etc, will have all come to nothing. And the PL trophy, the trophy every Liverpool fan wants above any other, and that includes the CL trophy, will be lifted by Vincent Kompany and City. Getting to the CL final, and winning the CL trophy will be a fantastic consolation prize, and nothing more. Obviously the Scouser’s won’t ever admit that. And they will make out winning the CL is a bigger achievement than winning the title, or the treble, if we win the FA Cup as well.

Klopp is a coward. This season he binned off (and totally disrespected) both domestic trophies at the first hurdle to concentrate on the PL and CL while Pep went for the lot. Last season Liverpool managed an obligatory win against Everton in the 3rd round of the FA Cup then went out at home to a hapless West Brom side and lost at the first hurdle in the League Cup. He eventually even binned off the PL to go for CL glory. Absolute shithouse.

I was going to post that the media themselves will be running the story that Liverpool winning the CL would be more of a triumph against the odds then us winning every domestic trophy.

Get more money for Chumps League than the Carabao Cup; sadly that's where football is (predominantly) at.

They've prioritised the two competitions that bring in the big bucks, worldwide coverage and gains more "clicks", over silverware.

Gotta put food on the Henry's table to feed the kids and clothe them.

Don't be so sure, the deluded clowns will see themselves as moral victors and deserving to share the title. The win against the bottle factory called Barcelona last night will only reinforce that view by their fans and the media.

This ladies and gentlemen is why we have to win on Sunday because if we don't what's going on now in the media you can x1000 and even if we do these sycophantic twats will still be striving for an angle to downplay our achievements.

Two points, media and Liverpool supporter related plus, the collaborative Merseyside police...

1) It's being proclaimed as the greatest comeback ever. No it isn't. A magnificent effort on their part to be fair and not really unfair over the 180 mins. However for something to be 'the greatest' it by definition has to be greater than others. This is simply being hailed as because it's them/the media and therefore it is merely the most 'sensationalised'. Fake news! There are numerous examples of technically better comebacks including our own at Spurs all those years ago. 3 down at half time to win 4-3 not only with 10 men for an entire half but, inside 90 mins and away from home. Still, don't let truth and facts get in the way of a good story!

2) On TalkSport news an hour ago they referenced a police 'tweet' commending both Liverpool and Barca fans for their exemplary behaviour at the game and after with a footnote mention ..' there were fireworks let off at Barca's hotel earlier but no arrests'. This I believe is no more than a colluded effort to put out an opposite falsehood to mask the real facts. That ground has always been a hell hole to visit where the police look after their own.

I know many decent, fair Liverpudlians but, there is something seriously weird about a large percentage of their fan base and the extreme and irrational tendencies they exibit when under the LFC banner. The most nauseating thing though is the way the media pander to them at best and misrepresent the facts at worst.

They haven't acquired their reputation amongst other fan bases for nothing. Experienced travelling fans know the truth but, it is of course brushed aside.

Liverpool fans want the PL more than anything else and have made that clear. Their cherished history is badly tarnished having never won it. They will be absolutely sick if we win the league on Sunday. And, if City manage to win the FA Cup as well, we will be achieving a historic treble which none of the great teams of the past were able to do. For me it's all about what we do in the next couple of weeks...couldn't care less about the CL. Even if Liverpool do win the CL...sadly for them it will be just a consolation prize.

Good old Danny Murphy thinks if Spurs can replicate their result at the etihad, then they will go through tonight against Ajax. You just have to laugh at how thick and clueless he really is.

This ⬆
Credit where it's due, they only had a 1% chance last night and they won fair fucks. But they haven't won the trophy yet so consider what it will be like if they do... insufferable doesn't really do it justice. And they somehow win the PL as well? I might give up football. We absolutely imperatively must win on Sunday, because after all we deserve it,

One poster said he'd be listening to Ken Bruce and Jeremy Vine today to avoid the dipper wankfest. Unfortunately Vine has devoted half of his programme to the Miracle of Klanfield.

Nobody seems to recall Liverpool have lost four times in Europe this season?

That must be some sort of record for a team reaching the Final?

Red Star, Napoli, Paris and Barca.

Nothing underlines the lottery of the competition more than this.

Complete media blackout until Sunday. Stretcho's car radio included. NOTHING! In fact, this site is my only outlet for anything football related.
