Media thread 2022/23

[Gingers Dad]

Liverpool are 11th.


That’s the only response you need to anyone who is blaming their failures on City.

If they were 2nd and just couldn’t surpass City then he might have a point, but last I checked Fulham don’t have unlimited money.

Correct, if City were taken out of the equation how would explain being 10th when he's spent 100's of millions?

I'm sure we want to get involved in long, expensive and very public court cases.... not
When it matters, eg UEFA we take the appropriate action.

I am not suggesting court cases. These issues rarely go to to court. There are lots of options which don't involve court.

Journalists are a tight group. Going after one, banning them etc. would end up with worse coverage IMO

I understand this point of view in that if you openly hurt/damage/ban one of the press, the rest will go against you.
However, how the hell did Fergie (and his media team) behave so badly to the media (including the BBC) and got away with it ?
Also Klopp has openly ridiculed the media and lost his temper in Interviews, yet he also seems to walk away with his image intact ?

 

[Centurions]

This is the whole point. Managers are punished every week for saying less damaging things than Klopp. He absolutely should be charged by the PL with bringing the game into disrepute and I suspect that once the match is out of the way City will report him to the PL. Whatever Klopp's precise weasel words he has essentially accused City of breaching FFP (saying we have limitless finance) and publishing false accounts by suggesting we are state-owned.
This is much more serious than a moronic freelance hack making slurs on Twitter.

Normally I'm of the "ignore the arseholes" group but it does feel as if Klipperty has overstepped the mark with his recent rumblings. His press mutterings of late speak of a man under immense stress, I wonder if he's worried about something else going on in the background?

Am I right in saying this anonymous Ukranian activist isn't calling for any widespread action against UAE. No government sanctions, no international investigations, no UN action.

Just to look into Mansour owning a football club, everything else is OK.

Suspicious.

Odessa is twinned with Liverpool.

Might be coincidence.

Pretty obvious the press pack are infested with Rags and Dippers, they get a free ride.

With klopps utterances on long grass, dry pitch, we only had time to clear snow from half the pitch and various others. Long may his stupid statements continue. As twain or Lincoln said , better to remain silent and be thought fool than to speak and remove the all doubt.

Bingo has gone to great efforts to remove all doubt

Like FSG using the scouse like the Glazers use the rags? Cash cow and try and keep them successful enough

 

[give it to gordon]

Klopp is getting slaughtered in the comments section underneath the article in the Daily Mail. Great reading bar the Scousers, who are making every excuse for his comments and calling City an Oil Club.

And that was my point earlier, the only fans that believe the press/media are dippers and rags. Other fans dont believe the klopp.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Klopp’s been hugely successful in deflecting the narrative away from how shit his team has been so far this season and onto getting everyone to support them as they are the plucky underdogs.

Just ignore him and smash the victims on the pitch tomorrow.
