Media thread 2022/23

Care to explain how winning the Carabao cup or even an FA cup has anything to do with being a Champion? You are and always have been a cup winner. For the BBC or any media to refer to Liverpool as Champions is poor. Please tell us what the dippers are Champions of in 2021/22?

To be fair, we were referred to as champions of those competitions every time we won it too. Even the FA refer to the fa cup champions about the winners.

The champions of failing to score a single goal in 3 finals in the same season.

Or more probable is being an answer to a question on A Question of Sport 10 years before it's asked

I'm nearly 70 and as far back as I can remember its always been Cup Winners and League Champions.

Sorry but that's nonsense, it's a piece about the League Cup. We might have plenty to complain about in the media (although that is changing massively) but there's no need to make crap up.

It used to be the "Current Holders".

It’s always been either. Honours board wise, clubs will refer to them the way you do.

The point is it’s not a specific thing about a club or an individual journalist.

Here’s when we won it for example -

First time I heard it was when Wigan beat City.. sounded odd then and still does.

I've noticed that he's made no comment on Haaland's performance at West Ham, I wonder why....

He did. He wrote a full article about it.
It reads as if his comments from the the Liverpool game don't exist which kind of sums up the man..
