Unfortunately we won’t say a word or lift a finger. That’s why it happens and continues to happen. We are a soft easy target and they know it. Hence this kind of crap yet again on the eve of a big match. When it comes to the media we are a laughing stock.

I think you are right. I am not suggesting we should make an issue of every absurd thing written about us because that would have little impact. But there are moments when the smear tactics go too far. When an opposition manager makes public comments about an opposition club which accuse us (falsely) of breaking the law (false accounting) you can't ignore it. Managers are always being fined for their flippant comments which impune the integrity of referees. What Klopp has said today (if he has not been misquoted) is a fucking disgrace. I actually think City will pursue this one but not till after the match next week. Klopp is essentially saying our club, and that means Pep as well, are crooks.
These comments by Klopp will also inflame their thug fans (who are already planning an attack on our coach) ahead of tomorrow's match. His comments will lead to violence and innocent fans will suffer. The Roma incident at Anfield, where an innocent miiddle-aged Liverpool fan almost lost his life, WAS fuelled on social media following the attack on our coach. Merseyside police and LFC are partially to blame for what happened on that occasion.

Very true.sems to me that it is:

City: We'll accept and try to overcome any challenge, when we fail we congratulate and then make it the benchmark.

Liverpool: We'd win everything if it wasn't for other clubs being better than us, and anyone better than us has to be cheating.

Exactly, too many on here have thin skin. We don't want to engage in a media war we cannot win. The smart move is to ignore and keep on winning, it winds them up even more.

I agree you can't fight every battle. That would be counter-productive. But there is a difference between fake statements made by loons on Twitter (like Delaney) and lies put out by an opposition manager like Klopp. We really can't let that go. If Pep said something similar about another club the PL would throw the book at him. Klopp is inciting hate ahead of tomorrow's match and that has consequences when both sets of fans are already stoked up. There will be trouble tomorrow as usual at Anfield and in Liverpool city-centre but it is rarely reported by the media.

EDIT: I have just checked and what is interesting is that only the Guardian seems to use the phrase "Gulf-state-owned" and some of the other papers seem to have softened their online stories. I wonder if City have been proactive for once. Perhaps Klopp's comments have been twisted by the Guardian.

Because they are terrified that they won’t be let back in, unlike our club who seem to let almost anything go.
Bingo was probably instructed to say that by the owners to keep the narrative going.

And terrified the Cult will find out which school their kids go to, will string their cat up to the gatepost when they get home. Nothing is beneath these contemptible lot. I have stated many times before those in the media are scared of writing/saying anything negative about Liverpool FC for the safety of themselves and their loved ones.
