It's not something I'd sing, and I've challenged plenty on here for comments about Hillsborough and Heysel, but it's odd that it's been rebranded as "tragedy chanting".
The very first mention of it I've seen in the national press was after the Suarez stuff. It's reported in the Guardian, that Liverpool fans were signing about Evra being a liar, and United fans replied with "Always the victim".
At the time, (this was a couple of months after the t-shirts, and after Suarez had been found guilty by the FA), it was the racist chants from Liverpool fans that were considered worse.
It’s been going on for years:
They killed 39 fans at Heysel and blamed UEFA, blamed the stadium, blamed Belgian police, blamed Chelsea fans, blamed Belgian skinheads, said Juventus fans started it and even blamed Roma fans from the season before and that they were the victims of poor organisation and other fans’ actions… always the victims, it’s never their fault.
Trouble in Athens, thousands with fake tickets got in, thousands with real tickets left outside and they blamed UEFA, blamed the stadium, blamed the stewards, blamed Greek police, they took no responsibility for it and said they were the victims… always the victims, it’s never their fault.
Trouble at the Emirates in the CL, hundreds with fake tickets got in, hundreds with real tickets left outside and they blamed UEFA, blamed the stadium, blamed the stewards, blamed Arsenal, blamed Met police, they took no responsibility for it and said they were the victims… always the victims, it’s never their fault.
Their player said a racist comment to a United player and their entire club and fanbase played it like he was the victim of a hate campaign… always the victims, it’s never their fault.
Troubled finances and they failed FFP, they have a shirt sponsor that was fined billions for money laundering for terrorist organisations and their club hacked our scouting computer system yet constantly moan about City, City in relation to FFP, cheating, the CAS, ‘a bad day for football’ and human rights abuses in UAE… Hypocrites FC
Trouble in Paris, the Liverpool bottom tier was chock-fuckin-block full of Liverpool fans in Liverpool shirts with thousands outside with real tickets who never got in, there are videos of them storming a turnstile, they had fans tweeting pictures with captions like ‘jibbed our Alan in’ ‘haha they didn’t even scan our tickets and we got in on these (while holding up fakes)’ and one lad even boasted about getting in wearing a suit and a fake UEFA Delegates badge, and someone was arrested in Winsford for making and selling counterfeit tickets for that final last year yet they blamed UEFA, blamed the stadium, blamed the stewards, blamed French police, blamed local North African youths, they took no responsibility for it and said they were the victims… always the victims, it’s never their fault.
They’ve chanted about Harold Shipman for years yet cry about chants that aren’t even bad and are just highlighting their pathetic hypocrisy… always the victims, it’s never their fault.
They smash windows on our team and fan buses, throw whisky bottles at our goalkeeper, spit at our bench, throw coins at our manager, injure a teenage girl with coins in a cup yet they complain about very questionable writing on a toilet cubicle door (City fans don’t use the term ‘Kopites’)… always the victims, it’s never their fault.
They unfurl ‘Steaua Bucharesti 86’ banners whenever they play Everton and held a fucking trophy parade on the anniversary of the Heysel disaster and don’t see anything wrong with it (could you imagine their outcry if South Yorkshire Police held a celebratory function on 15th April?!). Other sets of fans chant ‘always the victims, it’s never your fault’ at them and they turn it round into them being the victims of Hillsborough chanting the lying set of scum cunts. That song has got the square root of fuck all to do with Hillsborough and they fucking know it!
They boo’d a City player being stretchered off, they boo the National Anthem at Cup finals, they even boo’d ‘Abide With Me’ at the FA Cup final last season, they disrupted a minute’s silence for the Queen, they chanted ‘Liz is in a box’ at Rangers fans, they chanted about the IRA at Rangers, they have ripped out and stolen seats two seasons running at Molineux, they have always had flags and banners and songs about Munich, they line the streets around Anfield to throw objects at opposition team buses all the time and have even thrown acid at United’s players once yet they claim they’re always on the receiving end of despicable chanting that upsets them when all the chant is, is a reminder of them being the biggest set of cunts in this country (and they are worse than United fans, they really are!)
Always the victims, it’s never your fault.
