Agree but my point is their fans are worse than any others I’ve come across supporting City. People in glass houses and all that.

HA HA HA what a fucking surprise!
Pep’s had to apologise for the chants!
And fuck all apologies from Liverpool for the Liz’s in a box, Harold Shipman etc…. chants towards the City fans!
It makes you feel sick sometimes.
Liverpool fc would get away with murder (again) with Sky & BBC
Klopp don’t have to apologise because the scouse fan reporters didn’t ask the question!

Fuck his apologies, fuck him, and fuck that whole club.Klopp should issue an apology about his comments on spending. That'll be a start.
Is that right, Pep apologised because he was asked?Klopp don’t have to apologise because the scouse fan reporters didn’t ask the question!
Fucking Klopp shouldn't even be doing press conferences seems as he was red carded last week, fucking joke at times football.
Red carding a manager means fuck all, much prefer the law to be the Team has to withdraw a player if your Manager acts a ****.
Actually, that is a fucking brilliant idea even if I say so myself.
He's German mate, no apology neededThere is a lot of bad blood all over social media between us and them. The clubs need to get involved here. Klopp should issue an apology about his comments on spending. That'll be a start.
It wouldn't make a difference if they were 10 years apart. They would claim it was about Sean Cox because it suits the narrative that people are mocking their tragedy.The Kiev song relates to LFC fans attacked before the CL Final (May 2018) not the Sean Cox attack from Roma fans (April 2018). Both incidents were close apart so I can understand why some LFC fans think it is aimed at Sean Cox. But celebrating any fans being battered anywhere in a song is vile in my book, especially in the current climate.
Exactly as they claim every time fans sing always the victim it's about Hillsborough when it isn't sung by fans for that reason.
I believe there is good reason for all the current media escalation which is down to fear as Liverpool are losing the economic and propoganda war having lost out on results.
Liverpool FC is very popular in the USA and other places where they buy into the romantic myth linked to being the home of the Beatles. They claim to be football royalty with their own anthem with an unrivalled history in the game and a sympathy deserving tragedy that trumps Munich in 1958 in terms of deaths that makes them untouchable. Never a mention about their transgressions. They have become taboo.
FSG are not the paupers they make out. Their aim is to maximise their return with minimum investment. Their tactics have included cheating to gain an advantage although their wealth and that of Liverpool and revenue is beyond the aspirations of all but a handful of English football clubs, including City who are comparable.
Yet they are obsessed with Manchester City, making comparisons at every opportunity and worse inciting a rivalry that is not seen by the majority of City fans. It is probably true that Liverpool are the most disliked if not hated club in England, probably not appreciated elsewhere as it equally applies to their supporters.
FSG are very worried. All the quotes about Manchester City and others having unlimited funding are in my view less about buying players but more about infrastructure and the ability to generate revenue. FFP was designed to stop City but has failed and investment in infrastructure was not included.
The FSG strategy of “money ball” is failing with them now paying premiums to sign players and having an ageing squad. The Coutinho money has run out and City has overtaken them in the net spend league that they were always keen to promote. City players and youngsters are establishing themselves at City and other top clubs with Liverpool now barely registering.
Instead of developing a new ground as planned, FSG took the cheap, short-term, populist option of developing Anfield. It will rapidly fade as an "iconic" venue. When Everton move to their new ground, Anfield will be exposed as the substandard ground it is, not just compared to other rival top teams. It is stuck in the 20th century in an unappealing area with no scope for development. Man Utd’s ground may be falling apart but they have space to develop and are in a decent location.
In 3 years time, the COOP Arena and the Etihad North end extension will be complete attracting people to a destination and generating revenue whilst Liverpool will be stuck in a time warp rut with no potential to evolve and becoming increasingly irrelevant.
No doubt that FSG has been a leader in promoting an elite closed shop and waging a PR campaign against City whilst its own transgressions have been ignored by the media. They are losing that war for hearts and minds as their supporters and champions tend to be middle aged whose influence can only decline.
The problem for FSG is their economic model is falling apart as especially the young are choosing to follow Manchester City. Erling Haaland has been a game changer as a genuine superstar with global appeal rarely seen and wholly associated with City.
As more people see through their deflection tactics and grip on the media driven by clicks and threats will decline and Liverpool could well go the way of Aston Villa as a history club. Meanwhile City is ahead of the curve, continuing to innovate and make history.

I am certain if any other manager had spoken about a rival club in this way he would have been charged by the FA. It is a nailed on "bringing the game into disrepute" offence.The Football Association will not investigate Jurgen Klopp's comments about Manchester City, Newcastle and Paris St-Germain.
What a surprising turn of events
