Is Anfield Agenda his real name then?
I don't like the feed the scousers chant personally. Can understand it being sensitive, and poverty is a real thing. Chants and jibes are fine but a bit of common sense doesn't hurt.
Should probably just chant "2, 4, 6, 8, who do we really hate?...Liverpool!". Though might have to change "really hate" to 'mildly dislike', just in case.
I mean there's tons of hilarious things that can be said about Liverpool that the channel says. I think mocking poverty is below the line though.
I couldn't help find some crime rate chants funny though, maybe my morals are skewed

To whom are you referring?
Should be allowed to chant whatever we want to whoever we want whenever we want. Why is free speech so illegal. Bloody communist nazis.
Bet this cnut has called us Munichs in his time though. Can't stand the cnut and his faux outrage.
Its obviously a tongue in cheek chant we have sung for many years at xmas time.
Also, Parks song, ''could be worse, could be scouse, eatin rats in your council house'' is obviously tongue in cheek.
Most football chants involve a touch of satire. Its what makes it fun and should also be seen as fun when your on the receiving end too. Nobody should really take the words to seriously and certainly shouldn't get upset over it like Anfield Agenda has here!
It feels like he has seen an opportunity to get some pats on the back from certain people and taken it.
Ironically, Liverpool and Manchester are pretty equal in terms of poverty etc so its all in good nature.

Aldi Dara Ó Briain can feck off.
A bit rich coming from the same supporters who hurled bricks at a passing ambulance carrying a United player.
One of the things I like most about English football is the chants and the banter.
There are a few chants I dislike because they’re a bit too extreme for my taste, but I never thought this one would be considered that bad.
But maybe that's a topic for another thread.
As for him, he probably just wants the reaction that comes with taking a heroic stance against such a big injustice. Those Twitter fights are so tedious.

Erm, no mate that one IS racist. It’s perpetuating a racial stereotype and has been called out by Park himself. It’s far worse than feed the scousers.

Fair enough missed this one, if the player has called for it to end then I'll accept that.
You'll stop with racist chants only after a player (I presume you respect) tells you to stop?
'Soapbox' indeed.

The guy in the vid
Football fans generally treat going to the match in the same way as going to the pub or going to a comedy club. Explicit racial slurs are never tolerated, however a few jokes based an outdated stereotypes are the norm. There is an acknowledgement that such behaviour would not be acceptable in almost any other social setting.
Oh yeah without a doubt
High crime= High poverty.I mean there's tons of hilarious things that can be said about Liverpool that the channel says. I think mocking poverty is below the line though.

There are various chants still sung with gusto v Liverpool that should be canned - that is not one of them.
I'm more confused with who would buy the t-shirt?
The guys an absolute ham.
Chanting / mocking any club regarding poverty in that area should not happen.
It’s the sort of thing football supporters should be united in. In this case hate the Tories for 14 years of decline and rise in poverty levels - not laughing at poor people unable to feed their families in various areas of the country. There are so many thousands struggling in Manchester and most corners of the country.
It shouldn’t be a race to the bottom of they sing this, which makes it fine for us to sing that - same certainly goes for tragedy chanting.
Poke fun at each other for various things, but there is a line that all football fans, and United fans especially shouldn’t cross.

Out of interest. Where would you say the line is? Obviously racism, homophobia and tragedy mocking should have no place but aside from that I would argue its fair game. There has to be a bit of banter between supporters but something will always offend anyone will it not. We cant just sit there signing WE DON'T LIKE YOU when Liverpool turn up at OT.
Society has changed over the last 30 years or so and we are lagging below the curve at football stadiums truth be told but i think its important it doesn't become too nicey nicey. It would lose a lot of the tribalism, passion and lets be honest, fun. Part of why i love sitting in the east stand is the banter with away fans. Sure, it can be brutal but can also be a right laugh at the same time. Theres been many times i have had a giggle at what the away fans chant at us and i have never taken things chanted too seriously.
Those who attend games probably aren’t on the poverty line. So why is the flabby Irishman getting offended about it? It’s not like the home fans sing at the cameras aimed at those viewing on illegal streaming.
Feed the piiiiiirates
Let them knoooooooow that it's a crime!
Massive Liverpool fan is correct.
This, 100%. The standard lower league chants of "is this a library" and "we forgot that you were here" become very tiresome when you've heard them for the seventh time in one game. It's a laugh to spice it up with some dark humour.
This bloke is a melt btw and the humour has degraded to 2007 Facebook level stuff now. It's what 40 year old Dads find funny.
See you all when you eventually agree with me.

He's no Big Justice that's for sure
There are still moments in his videos which are funny, but yeah a lot of it is tired and overused now.
Way ahead of you there. I stopped watching it a few months ago. It's gotten tired and formulaic, hasn't it?
The man is incapable of bringing the boom.
The sound effects he uses make me cringe. The only good one is the post clank sound and the time he mad Maguire's header do a mircowave ping.
