A bit cheeky of a foreign news show to say this where is all the money coming from

[lolliedeman]

It's starting here in holland too, fucking rich wankers

[vinvancent]

I hope english fan culture will be like in the past again.

[hohomahoro]

Haha liverpool. you sold yourselves to the gloryhunters

Glory glory MAN UNITED

[thomyboas]

@hohomahoro says the Man utd fan, wich u cant eaven hear the supporters sing. Was there 2 weeks ago, the sound was nothing NOTHING compared to ANFIELD!!! Was just loads of asian supporters, there were almost none english supporters there at all. was so disepointed when the croud was so low, eaven thou it was 70 000 there. 2 000 people would make more noice!

[KingofKpop]

Good, everything will be owned by Chinese, Indians and more Asians.

[Rsd79]

Bundesliga is the best league because it is run more like a socialist system than any other football league. Just look at the NFL in USA, they run their league like Communists and make so much revenue, without the debt that accompanies EPL.

[Rsd79]

football is so entranched in the english culture. The fans will never go away, imo. EPL will around in some form or another in the future.

[KopiteP250505]

@Rsd79 The EPL should have never been invented, it's a pile of shite. The sooner it is destroyed, the better.

FUCK MOD£RN FOOTBALL!

[Rsd79]

@KopiteP250505

Eh, well I am Canadian so I don't have the same exposure to football as in the UK. I wish our NHL had promotion system like Europe but I guess the long travel distances on the N.A. continent makes it impossible.

Richardson says "If the fans leave, will there be anything left behind?". The whole premise of that question is wrong because nobody thinks the fans are going to leave the EPL. I know that fans have abandoned teams in lower divisions but EPL is too big to fail, imo.

[KopiteP250505]

@Rsd79 But the EPL won't always be the best league with the best players. In 100 years, all the best players and the money will be in China. We don't want the proper local hardcore fans to leave. We want the foreign, glory-hunting whoppers to fuck off, which they will cos' they don't understand loyalty or passion that people like me feel for our clubs that make us willing to kill or die for them.

[Rsd79]

@KopiteP250505

before China, I think the Bundesliga will be the top league because they are currently the best run league overall. I want the NHL to contract it's league from 30 to 24 clubs because the talent pool is diluted now and the southern US teams are losing money hand over fist. However, these southern US teams, give the NHL the opportunity to get national tv deals.

I think the EPL is on the same boat because money talks so foreign investors are staying.

[KopiteP250505]

@Rsd79 What pisses me off the most is the fans who think people like John Henry who run Liverpool FC now care about the club and the fans. All they care about is money and they treat football clubs like toys to play with. The sooner they all get bored and fuck off, the better. Central government should be doing a lot, lot more to help the situation, but of course, they're useless bastards.

[Styria91]

against modern football!

[bananaempijama]

what the fuck these yanks know about football?!

FUCK MODERN FOOTBALL!!!!

[scotty12347]

Plenty of people taking offence to what I said, nobody actually offering any explanation as to who really killed those people if it wasn't the Liverpool fans themselves...

[vdv00rt]

@scotty12347 Does it matter? Why do you want to blaim someone/something? Priority thing is that this shouldnt happen again and to remember the people who died that day... Or do you want to line up the (thousands) of people who rushed over people that day and shoot them? Tragedies like these have numeral causes you can not just pick one.

[scotty12347]

@vdv00rt

Does it matter that 96 people died? Of course it does!

I agree with the jft 96 campaign, but the people who need justice brought upon them are those Liverpool fans that rushed the gates and crushed people to death.

Of course, all Liverpool fans want is somebody else to blame and have deflected that upon "The SUN". Whether the sun lied or not is irrelevant, Liverpool fans killed those people and that is a dark shadow that will be cast upon themselves and the club forever.

[vdv00rt]

@scotty12347 Why would you blame the Liverpool fans? Do you think they did it on purpose? I don't know if you have been in a mass like that but there is nothing you can do... They couldn't see the people in the front getting crushed so why stop? You would think the police or stewards would stop you if the stands are full but this didn't happen due bad communication/organisation... So again, why would you blame the liverpool fans who could not see what was happening on the stands...

[scotty12347]

@vdv00rt

Because whether directly or indirectly it was the fans who caused the deaths.

Is the jft 96 campaign about justice for those who died or about justice against the sun for what they printed?

[vdv00rt]

@scotty12347 I dont know whats going on with the SUN since i dont live in the UK. But your obsessed with blaming the liverpool fans... If i apply your way of thinking to the Bradford disaster we should al hunt down the person who supposedly threw a cigarette down through the stands instead of blaming the club or facility manager for not cleaning up the mess under the stands (for years)...

[KopiteP250505]

@scotty12347 The South Yorkshire bizzies and Thatcher are to blame, all the blood is on their hands. Liverpool fans were the heroes that day - get that into your thick skull lad.

[scotty12347]

@KopiteP250505

LOL, I hope this account is a wind-up

[KopiteP250505]

@scotty12347 I hope you get caught out in Everton Valley or Stanley Park one day.

[uqaroper]

There was an inquiry which absolved the supporters of any blame, but carry out with your agenda Scotty. It sickens me how the death of innocent people can be used by others to simply score points. I think your mind is made up no matter what is presented or unearthed by a new inquiry. Ironically, I bet you weren't even around when the tragedy happened and know nothing of what going the game was like in the 80s, how fans were treated or how many 'close shaves' there had been before Hillsborough?

[scotty12347]

@uqaroper

How were the supporters absolved of blame?

Those people died by being crushed, they were crushed by Liverpool fans. It's not a scooby doo case, it's as clear cut as it gets.

Unless of course, "the bloody police" had some kind of invisible crushing machine. Then i'd be happy to blame them.

[CallingAllCappers]

@scotty12347

As if the supporters had a fucking choice? If the bloody police had done their job that day and controlled the numbers getting into the ground the 96 would still be alive.

Fuck right off you Manc bastard.

[scotty12347]

@CallingAllCappers

Liverpool rushed the gates, what the hell are a few police supposed to do against thousands of fans intent on getting in you moron?

Victim mentality...

[zeb1977]

@scotty12347

Manc or otherwise, have a word with yourself. Know a lot of lads who stood on the Stretford End in its prime who know the score about Hillsborough and who know exactly how things were back in the day. It's the mouthy teens who were twinkles in their dads' eyes at the time who come out with this nonsense now. Grow up and do some learning.

[ja10767]

@zeb1977 Well said that mate

[ja10767]

@scotty12347 How old are you? Get a grip, do a bit of research and you will understand what happened that day.

This video, sir, is quite epic. Hope this will bring hope for the future. YNWA.

[matt61234666]

EPL best league in football !

[MWcrazyhorse]

@matt61234666 not much of an accomplishment selling all the clubs to oil sheiks and yanks is it?

[minfrom]

didnt know all these things existed in the premier league too bad for fans though one thing i know is i love football but i have never gone to a stadium and i dont like watching the hole match i like the highlights more than any thing and football is some thing that mackes me feel things no any other sport mackes me feel match of the day is some thing i look forward to every week

[lilshak1]

Funny how they don't mention Heysel and how that changed English football as well.

[lilshak1]

@lilshak1 The murder of 39 in Belgium by Liverpool fans who never got justice brought to them.

[UKBOXlNGFAN]

yes ticket prices are too high now Good for covering this Aljazeera

[baburo101]

I AGREE. THE AMERICANS SHOULD WORRY ABOUT THEIR 'FOOTBALL'.

[supahdupahguy81]

@baburo101

i also agree.
