Bans are pointless. Rob Harris doesn’t go to games at the Etihad. Neither does Jonathan Liew. Neither does Delaney, Wilson, Ronay or any of the other clowns.

Maybe he meant ‘bangs’ not ‘bans’ as in “Give that wet, nerdy, miserable **** Liew a bang”?

6. A spokesperson for Reach stated that they could not comment on any potential legal action, but said: “Talking in general terms, freedom of expression for journalists is not a free pass to publish ill-informed, inaccurate, and misjudged comments. “When journalists are given a platform for their opinions, it comes with the quid pro quo that what they write is to be founded on fact and reasoned argument.”

Unless it’s City they’re commenting on.

It's already started....



As far as I can tell the Geordies haven't a clue what's about to hit them.

What’s that fat Geordie weirdo off YouTube had to say?

We criticise the Arab world, wonder what they make of what is becoming of western civilisation.

"Sub-human scum"
This is how Liew described us - the posters on here - back in early 2020 .

IMO this is the Number 1 all-time classic of the genre and well worth a full read without any click-bait benefit at the open source archive link:

Below is an extract to give you a flavour:

Does a regime serially defying a United Nations arms embargo in Libya – according to the UN’s own reports – strike you as the sort that places a high premium on bureaucratic process? Does the family that bought itself the world’s largest super-yacht – a $600m behemoth two-thirds the size of the Titanic and reportedly equipped with its own missile defence system – strike you as the sort to take a swingeing punishment with humility and good grace?

These are just some of the ways of understanding Manchester City’s current dispute with Uefa, one that for all its clear footballing repercussions carries far more sinister overtones. Trawl the City messageboards in the wake of Uefa’s decision to ban the club from the Champions League for two seasons, and it won’t take you long to stumble across the rhetoric of scorched earth: of traitors and revolutionaries, violence and purgation, shady cartels and subhuman scum.

The usual shouty nonsense, the man is as dumb as a dog biscuit.

They've give up on the actual footballing ability comparisons now.

Who's got more goals?

We shouldn’t allow them into our stadium, they’re the worst newspaper out of the lot. Do any of their journalists have anything good to say about us?

If liew thinks I'm subhuman scum I'll take it as a complement.
