Players allegedly singing “Allez” song

gleeful flight
startling to learn
wholly defending
glories in ... misfortune
life-changing injuries
signature Anfield ... song
wounding nature
cold lack of empathy
deeply hurtful
totally defending
near-official approval
awful loss of life

What a shit writer. Bashed out mechanically with no brain engaged. Then the giveaway at the end.

England in the Brexit crisis can be viewed through some of the nastines in football

I don't know anybody in the newspapers (I've led a sheltered life) but I'd imagine that sports hacks are looked down on by most of the other scribblers in the trade. I'd guess they're thought of as a necessary evil. City present them with an opportunity to elevate themselves in their own eyes. This chance for second-rate typers to 'dope' their self-esteem is one reason why this sort of hyperbolic approach to writing about City has been happening since the takeover. And why it will never stop. Instead of writing about corners, penalties, or tactics, they can get their teeth into human rights abuses, the zeitgeist, geopolitics. They can emerge from their dull, overlooked cocoon into the morning light reborn in their true colours as serious writers. Look mum, I'm all grown up. But then they give themselves away with their shit style, half-formed arguments and lack of discrimination. They pump out the literary equivalent of a 10 quid handjob while making a phone call to one of their mates. Then they stick the word City at the top and lick their customer's jizz off their fingers.

Thin pickings since they sacked off page 3.

This does raise an interesting question , why didn’t we apologise and draw a line under it?

The club obviously hold a similar view as us, if you don’t like it we don’t give a fuck , this is payback for the season load of shite we have had to listen to whilst we slowly and cruelty crushed their dreams

Suck it up

Bingo.
 
Well I know one song that's definitely getting sang on Saturday.

Whilst I don't necessarily think it's our greatest song (nowhere near), the fact they've tried to change the meaning of the song to suit their agenda means we definitely shouldn't hold back on Saturday.

I'd be happy with "You scouse bastards, its happened again", because it has, and its hurting very hard, despite them claiming they don't care.
 
I first thought battered in the streets was referring to Martin Georgiev but sly news has just informed me it was Sean Cox. Funny how ss takes the liverpool angle every time

Given one or two people around the squad have probably had a massive bollocking this week over this and the papers have spent the past few days performing a character assassination on our players over it, it wouldn't surprise me if most of them would be quite happy to never hear the song again.
