At least BJ came to Liverpool and apologised. If James came up to the 'Pool spouting his ignorant vitriol, I'm sure he could be gently persuaded to keep his pathetic opinions to himself.

A rare breed indeed! I was also one of the few who read the article before the media picked up the hype. I was enjoying the article as it relected some of things i'd been saying since Dianas death, and was even more interested in it as it began to focus on my city. I was surprised however that the editorial dared to generalise an entire city in a negative way. That was wrong and foolish. A lot of the criticism of it since then though has also been wrong and foolish. It seems everyone needs to be more sensitive to the details in this game!

Critics are usually ill informed , using a mixture of half truths & LIES. It has been going on for years. Is this to be another forum in the ongoing saga (yawn) of let's get the scousers?
