Nothing like Liverpool fans talking shit about another club going through managerial turmoil. 

I mean you're working on getting up to 40 years removed from killing 97 people but keep up the banter. 

I know people are piling on re: your oligarch overlord, but you owe it to yourself to learn more about the Hillsborough disaster. That's a disgusting thing to say about a horrific, preventable tragedy and you're pissing on the graves of 97 innocent people, many of them children.

You wanna talk shit about Liverpool, there's plenty. Stevie's slip. Any number of Luis Suarez incidents and the club's embarrassing handling of them. Shit, we employed Roy fucking Hodgson for awhile.

But don't parrot ignorant, abhorrent vile about the people who lost their lives due to police incompetence.

Meh. A cursory read of the article linked by that the tweet that started this stated they were criminals given the death penalty. The headline did make me wonder WTF?

 

Trust me, I get the Saudi Arabia has human rights issues. Hell, I am absolutely no fan of the death penalty either. I have to admit, even if I was onboard with it saving up all your death penalty people recipients for 1 day is all kind of messed up (even if they were 100% guilty).

This isn't sticking my head in the sand. It was reading an article and seeing "criminals" and moving on.

Hillsborough is Liverpool's Bonfire. If you ever want a cheap low blow, it's there. It, however, never feels right after you say it.

 

re: Chelsea Owners

One Fireman's Wife must've been fucked by John Terry.

Second, I have no desire to have Middle East overlords, granted I have zero fucking control over who is picked. I might adjust my fandom based on whom they hire, hell maybe I go fly fishing more often on Sat/Sun AM.

Third, fuck the fans that chanted Roman's name. They need to know their place. Try not to make gross assumptions that the vast majority of Chelsea fans would prefer Roman to stay after what has transpired in Ukraine.

I personally was hoping Boehly and Wyss made it happen, but who know.

Wow, man. That might be the worst take you’ve had on this site if you think Liverpool were to blame for an overcrowding crush incident in a neutral stadium. Seriously, go watch the Hillsborough 30 for 30 on ESPN. Then report back to us on how things went down. There’s a reason the families of the 97 sued multiple people and organizations and asked for criminal inquires. I get you’re angry that Chelsea is getting its dick knocked in the dirt but to use an incident where families lost their loved ones as a punchline is fairly crass. I’ve been to the Hillsborough memorial at Anfield. You read the names and ages of those that died at a place where they just wanted to support their team. Perhaps you might need to take a little break and get some perspective.

Honestly most Chelsea fans do not feel that Chelsea is getting its dicked knocked in the dirt. I think most Liverpool fans, specifically here, hope that is true. But nothing up to this point suggests that Chelsea is going anywhere. It really is just who will be writing the checks and are they from the Middle East or US/Europe.

And people that are literally still fighting for justice over 30 years later. Watching the videos of people literally suffocating standing up, pressed against fences, and literally dying on the field is horrific. To then basically call those people murders is disgusting

tough month for “your boy”

Hah, no I think Terry is probably a piece of shit outside of soccer. He was a hell of a footballer for Chelsea and I appreciate that about him. That being said, the only reason I'm posting his photo is due to the fact I'm fairly certain he slept with your wife, hence your deep seeded hatred for everything Chelsea.

Your self-righteousness falls a little flat when you post a laundry list of Liverpool's indiscretions without mentioning Heysel.

No question.  That said, you can understand how people jumped to conclusions at the time given the coverage of Hillsborough by the tabloids and the fact that Liverpool supporters murdered 39 people in stadium during the European Cup Final four years earlier.

People jumped to conclusions because tabloids said fans robbed and pissed on dead people. It’s clear that it wasn’t some sort of hooliganism. It was all on live tv for anyone to see. 
That doesn’t absolve anyone for Heysel by any means, but Heysel isn’t the reason people jumped to conclusions. That was a coordinated effort by the Yorkshire police to cover their culpability. Which is why Duckenfield is on the hook for it all these years later.

Completely disagree.  No one was giving Liverpool supporters the benefit of the doubt after Heysel and its fallout (the removal of English football from European competition for basically a decade).  Frame by frame analysis of Hillsborough also wasn't really available in 1989.  Heysel enabled both the coverup and the hostile media coverage.

I think that’s fair. I should have said it isn’t the only reason people jumped to conclusions. It certainly played a large factor. I think casting it as the only cause is also wrong and absolves the police (I don’t think you’re trying to absolve them but some do), 68 of which gave knowingly false statements and information to the press at the direction of superior officers. 
I think it is important to acknowledge that both Heysel and malfeasance on part of SYPD created a false narrative about the victims and I should have done better explaining that.

Edit: apologies the 68 officers had their statements altered by superiors not necessarily have false statements.

I don’t hate Chelsea any more than I do Man City/PSG/Everton/Newcastle


Unsustainable business models run by kleptocrat criminals. This isn’t some new callout I started making in February 2022. I’ve been calling this shit out since Hornfans. 
 

fuck the Russia World Cup, fuck the Qatar World Cup, fuck the club World Cup held in some Middle East shithole, fuck Europa League finals in Baku.

Would this be a good time to mention I am not a fan of Liverpool, Man U, and Spurs in that order? 😄

Although I will add -  I almost always root for you all to win against non Top 6 clubs - It does a club like Southampton no good if Burnley, Norwich and Watford pick up points on y'all.

Having the teams, Southampton are actually competing against, get beat down is the goal. We are not competing with the Liverpool's, Chelsea's, and City's of the world. 

It's a messed up way to be a fan, but it's the League we got.

And honestly with all the appropriate movement of players from Southampton to Liverpool it can't bee too difficult. Hell they both have red in their kits, too.

Manchester United would be dumb to not monitor the situation around Tuchel. He is a fantastic coach. I certainly could understand why he would choose to move on with the current environment. Hopefully we will have a clear path ahead at the end of the week regarding our new ownership. Either way I wouldn't be shocked if he moved on. Is there really that big of an outcry in London regarding this, or is this just a bunch of manure and bin dipper pundits trying to entertain people? I'll go ahead and put money on the second.

I was hoping that it would be on USA network, but apparently they are showing numerous episodes of Law & Order SVU before changing over to Temptation Island at 7:00pm. 

Et tu Peacock!
