What have you got against Klopp? If you have a vendetta against Joey Barton, I could understand. You seem to have a dislike towards people from Liverpool. Is there a logical reason or do you thrive on hate? It must make you furious the level of media attention Klopp and Liverpool. Only small- minded people are like that and I thought you were better than that. By the way, the coverage Liverpool get is minute compared to Barcelona, a club slipping into anonymity, and Real Madrid!!

I'll answer your questions in reverse order. I wanted to give a complete answer but it's turned into an essay, so apologies for that.

Although not a question, I don't really give a rat's arse how much coverage Liverpool get compared to Barcelona or Real Madrid. I might if I lived in Spain and supported another team though.

I don't know where you got the idea from that I was "better than that" and I resent you suggesting I was.

Furious about the level of media attention? Furious is a bit stronger than reality but I find the media's obsession with all things Liverpool tedious in the extreme. Did you know that Klopp leaving was the BBC's lead story on the news? Not the sports news, the national and international news. I must have missed the bit where Ukraine and Gaza got sorted out this morning before Klopp made his announcement. The BBC website had 17 different articles about Klopp on the football page.
That of course is not Liverpool's fault but it goes some way to understand why they think they're centre of the football universe.

I only have a dislike for Liverpool football fans. I probably would dislike Everton fans too if they were covered as much as LFC. I know they whinge a lot as well but the media aren't too interested in them, so as things stand it's just all things LFC.
And that is the crux of my, and I would guess many others, dislike of LFC. The amount of media attention they get the more we get to hear them whinge and if there is one thing they are the undisputed champions of, it's the whinge.
When Jordan Pickford clobbered van Dijk a couple of season's ago, they and the BBC kept the Pickford (and ref David Coote) hate going for about two weeks. They even started an online book of condolence for Virgil.
The "offside" goal against Spurs. Klopp wanted the match replayed and the BBC ran a piece asking "Is VAR in crisis?" because Liverpool had a decision go against them.
The Odegaard handball not given against Arsenal. Some of the comments on the Beeb's HYS reckoned referees are taking bungs to make sure City won the title.
There's some pretty high standard whinging going on there I think you will agree. So there is a logical reason to dislike some of the people of Liverpool but I do thrive on hate as well. I am though, quite happy with my level of hate and the ability to display it.

Joey Barton's alright. Actually, he's always been a nob but he's got nothing to do with this post.

And finally, Jurgen Klopp. I've seen comments about how he would be missed, how he's had an impact on the PL, and his honesty. But what he was really good at was arranging trips to the seaside with players contracted to another club. Our club. I don't care if "they all do it" or "we probably do it too", he did it to us and got caught. Even Joey Barton didn't do that. After van Dijk came back after weeks of being "injured" (treatment and wages all gratefully received from Saints) he put in no effort whatsoever because he had already agreed to join LFC at the end of the season. van c..t. But Klopp's a good bloke and a loss to English football.

Thank you answering and I apologise for belittling your earlier comment.

Wasn’t he done for travelling around during lockdown to see pros as well? Can’t remember if it was him or someone else
 
Why do people get so wound up about stuff like this, surely people have more important things to focus on in life than some footballer who's cheated. Who gives a ****!
Yeah, tbh I don't care if he is a bit of a ****er as long as he plays well I want him in an England shirt if it increases our chance of winning something.
