Club’s reaction to footage showing staff taking delight in lyrics that cause distress among Liverpool fans is a reminder we all can – and should – do better

Thoughts and prayers.

Garbage from the Guardian yet again!

There should be counselling available for Liverpool fans effected

Cause distress!!!!! Get a grip

Everyone wants piece of a champion.

There's no news day so slow that a good bandwagon can't be jumped on...

Who are ManCity trying to kid, they had a chance to claw back some class and failed miserably!
