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

Me too, I aspire to be subhuman scum.

The fact he’s comfortable to call any City fans scum & not Dippers is very telling of who they really believe are the sun-human scum.

Literally calling our fanbase what he has, he should never be allowed to step foot in our ground again. Hes entitled to his opinion but we neither have to agree with it or put up with it.
Can we request the club ban the twat forthwith.
I'd happily put the case forward to Kevin at the club supporters thingy to ask the hierarchy to do just that.
Doesn't Kevin frequent these pages?
Do we know what the clubs feelings are regarding some of these outrageous statements made in national newspapers.

"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.

Liew is a tedious **** with a sinfully pretentious, sententious and turgid writing style, but he plainly isn’t referring to City fans as sub-human scum there; he is parroting and/or parodying was was written on here after the CAS judgment.

He is sub-human scum, though. And a ****.

Actually this article is pre-CAS but post-ban, when journalists were gleefully wetting themselves at the prospect of a two-year ban. My favourite bit is his belief that City’s description of the appeals as CAS One and CAS Two were akin to a military campaign. How laughably desperate is that? Sports Journalist of the Year? Shows how low the bar has become.

 

[Kippax77]

Desperate shit. Truly desperate.

How fucking embarrassing would it be for the Dippers and the media if Erling out scores Darling Nunez by times 2 never mind times 3 or even 4 times.
I'm sure that's why Klopp doesn't play him every game now or gives him only minutes so at the end of the season the media can say " well Darling would of been close to Erling if he'd played as much.
Our viking as forced their superstar purchase to be a fringe player

 

[PPT]

Stone asked Pep if his achievements were 'tainted'. Should never have been allowed in a press conference after that. Still shit stirring to this day. Ugly little red ****.

Exactly this and he's the face of the BBC a public service broadcaster paid by the licence fee. He should have been made an example of after that. Ferguson boycotted them for seven years because they said something about his son (not United) and the BBC eventually made a personal apology to him! We should have done the same. For every BBC interview just send out one the backroom staff to do it instead of Pep and tell them why.

You want to read his report on the odd lot last night, laughable stuff including a ‘New Ronaldo’ shout

 

[Dave El Magico]

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 he honestly believes his comments are correct and that he agrees with freedom of speech, like they keep going on about, I think he should be allowed to stand on the stage in City Square at one of our forthcoming games and see what City fans think about his comments. Errrr, think he might not be up for that one.
