Football fans of all clubs think there is a media agenda against their club. Because they remember negative stories about their clubs but forget ones about other clubs or don't even bother reading them.
it doesn't help that sport journalism is shit.
That's true but whilst there is no 'hidden agenda' the media portrayal of us is disproportionately negative.
Even when we were 'media darlings' (as we should have been) we still suffered from an engrained negativity in how our coverage was presented. Even at our high points they would swing the narrative towards something that would diminish us or worry the fans.
There's lots of reasons but they broadly centre on our position: Big but not big enough. It manifests in many ways. We're big enough to turn our opposition into plucky underdogs, but not big enough to turn commentators into squealing k-pop fans who'll look favourably on every misplaced pass. We're noticable enough to generate strong opinions from reporters and ex-players of a certain age, but not good enough to have instilled genuine respect. etc. etc.
It means everything is far more likely to tend towards disrespect and negativity as soon as the opportunity is there. It's not like that for other big teams. Arsenal and Man Utd have been terrible and criticised recently, but when there's a glint of hope the media story will be about their inevitable ressurection and they'll get puffed up with outrageously optimistic stories.
If there was confirmation I am pretty sure it'd be all over the news.Any confirmation whether Liverpool are getting given the title by uefa or this season gets scrubbed

I'm pretty certain it was along the lines of "there's no way Liverpool won't win the title"
Do you have any idea how hard it is to make that stuff up on a daily basis? Pretty much any Tabloid Journalist could be a fantasy authorTabloid sports 'journalism' is for people who weren't bright enough to make it as pot washers, so it's unsurprising they look like they do.
Most Newcastle fans will be grateful to have anyone other than Ashley.. Let them dream of becoming a PL powerhouse, as they've been crying in their beer for the last 10 years.For people that think there is an "anti spurs agenda" go and look at how some newcastle fans are reacting to people criticising the new potential owners.
Brown ale, surely?...they've been crying in their beer for the last 10 years.
Pff, that's what they thought when Ashley bought them.Most Newcastle fans will be grateful to have anyone other than Ashley.. Let them dream of becoming a PL powerhouse, as they've been crying in their beer for the last 10 years.
No - they never had any illusions about Ashley. They were just glad to be rid of Fat Freddie Shepherd!Pff, that's what they thought when Ashley bought them.
Not sure but wasn't there a quote by uefa saying if Liverpool don't get the EPL trophy it'll be a tragedy/ travesty.
