Read the comments on any City story in the media and the vile posts aimed at City and their supporters are a disgrace. The strange thing is the whole media take aim at the posters on Twitter if they want to make out certain fans as sub human scum, rather than criticising the vermin posting on their own sites.
Yes.
And, meanwhile, the disgusting post on twatter where a dipper is wishing for the City FC plane to crash remains.
Perhaps this report that hertsblue mentioned above, on how (away) fans behave, should include the disgusting shit that they post on social media too.
But they are near untouchable because they use Hilsborough as a fall back shield to gain sympathy and excuse their own appalling attitudes. They diminish the memory of those poor souls who were killed that day when they turn to it or use it as a defense - to some 'fans' it's become their 'racist' card when no disrespect has occurred.
Vermin is a good word for these people.
The entire narrative coming out of Anfield, from their fans as well as their '2nd largest shareholder' - which the sycophantic media have used as a 'reliable source' - as well as the continued media bias leaves a bad taste and taints the whole ethos of what should be a beautiful game....
But, like others have said, we can, and should, see it as sour grapes and just go on enjoying the success of a great bunch of players, their manager and fan base - who can all hold their heads up, rise above it and keep on winning :)
But, for anyone outside looking in, it is tainting the image of football, the glory and achievement of winning one of the toughest Premier League battles ever and making one club look like embittered glory hunters.
i mean, how many of our fans were glued to their phones, or screens, watching the Liverpool game on Sunday?
We were enjoying watching our team win - some fans even buying tickets into the Brighton end to do that - not focusing on what someone else was doing.
Liverpool have been chasing us. The media said we were 'swoping blows at the top of the league.'
No, we weren't. We were winning consistently, and were only stepping down from the top spot because they played their game before us. They were chasing. And they have been chasing for a long time.
They couldn't enjoy watching their team win against a very capable Wolves because of their embittered attitude of privilege.
They did well, better than well, tbf. 97 points is an awesome achievement for any club. Why can't they just be happy that they did that, concede that another team did better and move on - without the savagery and deplorable comments?
