Just yesterday, I posted the response I received from the paper's sports editor, Dan Silver, when I questioned Stan Collymore's obsession with bashing Liverpool FC in his column.
Well now they're REALLY taking the piss.
Just the other day I was speaking to a season-ticket holding Red of 25 years about the media coverage Liverpool FC receives.
Looking ahead to today's game with Man United, we were joking about the headlines in the Sunday papers. And we remembered how almost every time we faced our hated rivals an attempt to unsettle one of our star players would appear in that morning's paper...
And here we are, 10-15 years on, and it's STILL happening. Manchester United-supporting hacks obviously still rule the Mirror. Well, two words boys...unsubstantiated drivel.

Liverpool fear another season of failure could spark Fernando Torres' departure from Anfield.
Nobody doubts the brilliant Spaniard's commitment to the Anfield cause. But since arriving from Atletico Madrid in a £20 million move 28 months ago even Torres' goal-scoring brilliance has not inspired the Reds to lift a trophy.
There is mounting concern that another barren campaign will prompt the striker's advisers to start pressing for a move to a more successful club.
That would be a body-blow to the Anfield cause. A club insider said: "Fernando is a great lad and a fantastic player. We don't worry about his attitude but the issue will be if rival clubs start making it clear to his advisers that he can win more by joining them.
"He's hungry for success. We don't want to lose him."Torres has scored 46 goals in 64 games for Liverpool. He is idolised by Liverpool fans and acknowledged as one of the world's finest strikers.
He also signed a new contract at Liverpool in August that ties him to the Anfield cause until 2013. But any hint that he is unfulfilled by life at Liverpool would be seized on by major rivals.
So far in his career the only club honour he's won is the Spanish Second Division title in 2002.

Stop moaning about lack of money
try supporting Everton.
Lack of money is not the answer.
It is also a disgrace that Liverpool have not produced any home grown players for ages.
They must be out there and would save the club a fortune.
Get real and stop making excuses for a manager who has lost the plot
Good result today by the way, but long term he is not the answer and you know it

Benitez has spent approx £200m and recouped half of that. So roughly £20m a season. That might be big money for Everton, but we are trying to win the league, not finish fifth.
The only team to win the league other than the Mancs while Rafa has been in charge is Chelsea. And they gave Mourinho over £100m to spend in ONE transfer window (to add to a squad already finishing in the top four).
I don't want to support Everton...but thanks for the offer.
The academy situation is being addressed, but while on the subject - where's all your kids then? Rodwell. And...
Oh and you might have noticed Jay Spearing and Martin Kelly have played for our first team in the last week...both home-grown players...
Pack in the preaching fella - i'm not converted.
