My dad died yesterday morning (he was 83 and had been ill). It’s very sad to see the utter hatred these cunts have now. Wall pushing gestures etc. My dad was a blue. He wouldn’t have condoned that sor

Chris Sutton is unimpressed by Fatty throwing the players under the bus.

He's right. Lampard has some nerve questioning players like has when he and his cabal actively worked to get several Chelsea managers sacked.

The context: a memorial service in London, a few years ago, for Eric Sykes (he was a comedian and writer, m'lud). The speaker was Bill Kenwright. All the other speakers had focused on their memories of the man. Good old Bill decided to use his allotted time to make jokes about Liverpool being knocked out of the FA Cup a few days before. Worra wanker. And they hold him up as the 'classy' side of the club!

Usmanov genuinely looks evil. I'm gutted they had a good start to the season,that's saved them this year the bastards.

He's supposed to be an utter cunt, makes Abramovich look like cuddly in comparison. He's also apparently very litigious, but Craig Murray's managed to get away with some blog articles about him- https://www.craigmurray.org.uk/archives/category/usmanov/

I remember he was on question of sport about 20 years ago roundabout the time Rooney had started in their first team. 

 

He wore an Everton scarf and every time he was asked to answer a question he shoehorned Everton into it. The round where you have to identify the athlete/sportsman there was some black sprinter and he said "oh I don't think it's Wayne rooney is it?".

 

Yet they go into a homicidal rage about Sam Quek supporting Liverpool.

The only way to 'get away with' writing about these guys is to tell the truth. It's only libel when it's not true.

Trouble is that it costs to defend yourself- one of Trump's main tactics is to tie people up in court cases that they can't afford.

Some years ago, whilst working on a local paper, I wrote a story on a certain local MP and a businessman he has a close relationship with.

It all stood up. It was all true. They complained. And my boss had to take me to one side and say she’d been told by her boss that the company, who were broke, had cancelled their insurance for legal cases*. 
So my boss’s boss immediately caved, without even asking if the story was true, and agreed to pay them a wad of cash to drop the case. 
Just because something is true doesn’t mean it’ll get published. 
*Its vaguely more complicated than that, but I can’t go into the details for obvious reasons. 
 

(A few years later an almost identical story appeared in The Times about the same MP and his pal. Hey Ho!)
