The song was written shortly after Liverpool fan Sean Cox suffered life-altering injuries after being attacked in Rome. When confronted with this fact, what was City’s defence? They weren’t singing about Sean Cox, but rather they were singing about Liverpool fans being attacked by masked hooligans in Madrid (!)

Absolute tossers.
Never forget that Man City players and staff sang about Liverpool fans being “battered in the streets”.

I think you’ve misunderstood, they didn’t intend offence and therefore it’s not offensive
