I get a subscription free. I read it because the mail and express are too right-wing. But if that is the standard of its readers then yep, 'I'm out'.
The problem these days is there isn't a newspaper you can read.
There isn't, so the one I read is the one with whose right wing leanings, entrenchment, etc, I tend to disagree. I find it not particularly useful to read only the stuff yer gonna agree with. What are the opposition up to, what thinking underlines their stance. I draw the line at the Dipper Echo, echo, echo, echo.
 
Neither do 99% of blues I know. In fact the vast majority are against the concept of royalty
I think our support represents the Mancunian identity which has always been anti-establishment. I wouldn’t say anti-Royalty just not interested in the whole circus. I grew up in South Central Manchester in the 60s and 70s and most of my pals hated everything in London especially the Government. It got worse with Thatcher.
 
Chelsea like ourselves , Hearts and Rangers are traditionally a patriotic Queen and country club and would never boo our national anthem or the Queens grandson. Shame on you scousers your supporters spoiled your victory.
Speak for yourself - don't lump me in with Rangers, the fucking bigots.

Peps point made again & compare with how the media treated us at the semi.

Yea read on line the DM ( I know ) but the DM did say it was the dippers.

The comments section was interesting most were slacking of football fans in the whole. Not naming the dippers but all football fans. Seemed odd when the paper saying scousers but the public saying both Chelsea and dippers and all football fans are twats !
 
Can only speak for myself love City, Lancashire, England and the Queen but I hate the tories.
Four out of five's not bad! To be fair I think City's support is as diverse as the city of Manchester itself. All politics, all religions, all races, generally liberal-minded (not in a political sense) I also think we are belligerent, sometimes irrational and most of us like to cock a snook at authority once in a while. The sheer variety in our support is what makes it great. I wouldn't want it any other way.

Very true which is why I also read the guardian but like you draw the line at the echo :-)
 
The media were quick to poke Pep with the Champions League boo stick, I wonder if they'll dare question Klopp on his views about his club fans booing the National Anthem?
Need fans to post about this in numbers on social media isn’t that what normally happens when you want to get something out there,the media will mention it in passing but quickly move on if it’s any other club it’s splashed all over front pages never mind the back ..

To be fair they probably aren't booing their own national anthem because most of them genuinely aren't English.
 
I think there are loads of things the Scousers can and should be criticised for but booing an anthem dedicated to the leader of an establishment that during various times over the years has actively gone out of their way to screw their City over is not one I would go for.
