It goes back further than that.
They broke a window of a City fan coach in 2014, a City fan mini-bus in 2015, our team coach in 2018 and again this season. They spat at the City bench last season and threw coins at Pep this season.
They injured a teenage girl at the Etihad this season and were throwing coins, cups, cups filled with coins and spitting down on City fans all game.
They boo’d Ederson off the pitch when he was on a stretcher in 2017.
They’ve chanted ‘there’s only one Harold Shipman’ at City fans for years. A serial killer of Mancunians, someone who killed two and a half times more people than died at Hillsborough. But the Cult think that’s alright and funny to sing about.
They hacked City’s computer systems and got away with it; something that, by UK law, should be punished with imprisonment. They organised a hate campaign that was lapped up and carried on by the media towards Raheem Sterling all because he dared to leave them. They failed Financial Fair Play but strangely didn’t achieve a place through the league or a trophy to see them qualify for Europe in the season they would have been banned from Europe, yet they moan about City and our finances all the time.
And their **** of a manager said it was a ‘bad day for football’ when we were exonerated by the CAS.
But the hostility even goes back a lot further than all that n’all: the battles City and Liverpool fans had in the 60s 70s and 80s and you can ask our large contingent of black fans who used to go to away games in the 70s and 80s what city was the worst to visit for racist abuse and they’ll tell you that it was Liverpool (at both Anfield and Goodison).
That club and fanbase are offended by everything and ashamed of nothing. That’s why we chant ‘always the victims, it’s never your fault’ and why sometimes some City fans will think ‘enough is enough’ and will take retribution into their own hands because Liverpool and their fanbase are never punished for anything they do to us.
