You failed to capitalise the second He. Please show more reverence in future.

Seriously though, I think I might clock off of top flight football for a while after this season. Maybe I’ll still follow us in the CL assuming City don’t start to dominate that too, but there’s no fun in the domestic game, and I’ve had enough of the creepy obsequiousness with which the media treat the Tories, so I could do without that sort of thing extending to a cheating football club.

 

There are some sixth / seventh tier sides near where I live so maybe I’ll pay more attention to them during the detox.

Just wait until Newcastle is in the picture. We'll have lovely battles of Abu Dhabi vs. Riyadh for the Premier League title every season.

Chelsea can fuck right off as well.  Hang your fucking heads you spineless cunts. Must win game and they park the bus and leave out their top scorer in the league. Horrible horrible team in every way .

With the well-compensated commentators speaking in a tone approaching bewilderment towards the impossible quality of said outfits.

They could start a special " Cheats cup" .

Ordinary stuff from both sides. One swing of the boot - and a bit of shite goalkeeping - settles quite an ordinary game. That's what's makes Liverpool such an attraction: dazzling, unpredictable, sometimes chaotic, often brilliant but never ordinary. We'll be City's closest challengers from now on and the league still has a lot of games left. Yet, whatever the outcome, we're the team to watch.

[Red74]

Cry all you want about what they spend but at least they buy players who know what they’re doing. Can you imagine Pep keeping faith year on year with shite like Henderson, ox, Kieta & Firmino etc. They wouldn’t get on his bench

Tuchel is such a shithouse manager

Two points from twelve in their head-to-heads with ourselves and City this season, and we gifted both to them. He’s lucky that he bought himself time with that European Cup win.

I would agree insomuch I couldn't watch games like that week in week out.  Life's too short. 

Not sure there is that much life in this seasons title race mind you.

Not sure you can separate your first point from your second there. Do you honestly think Klopp would still be bringing Ox off the bench if he had unlimited funds?

[Colonel Bumcunt]

It's the equivalent of Stephen Hendry, Pete Sampras, or Michael Schumacher, all facing opponents each game who have had half as much sleep as them. 

 

I don't want FSG to spend more money, I don't want to be spoken about in the same circles as these graceless, shameless bellends. I'd honestly shut the fucking curtains if they were playing at the bottom of my garden. Not only do I find them morally offensive, I find them fucking boring to watch.  

 

I genuinely think they're a piss poor effort at doing what the oil shaggers wanted, which was to recreate the great Barca team and how people were enthralled by them, albeit with a Mansour badge on it.  Not happened. It's a poor imitation, a very pale comparison, much like the shirt colour, with nothing like the look or feel of the Camp Nou.  

 

If we did a pay per view comparison, each club in the division, we'd still be streets ahead. 

 

 

[Kevin D]

January and the title race is done.

 

Can't really fault Klopp or the boys - one or two imperfect results - but that margin of error is so slim.

 

Still makes us odds on the win the European cup.

[Jairzinho]

They'll win the league by 15-20 points and no-one will give a fuck.

Yes we got only ourselves to blame the bigger question is what do FSG see us competing with City going forward they got so much to sort out not least Salah contract

I certainly won't.

Mind you, I'll probably find it just as hard to give a fuck finishing 15 or 20 points behind them playing "the more attractive football".

Zero chance of Chelsea getting anything from this. City’s inexorable march to the latest of the dozens of league titles in front of them continues.

Yes you can. Pep would have had them punted in no time. We buy and tolerate absolute shite

Both things can be true. Even if we spent another £100m net we’d be nowhere near City’s spend, and there’s still be this no room for error scenario which has made the Premier League such a disaster of a spectacle.

Yes, likewise.

 

I don't have much interest in winning the "We didn't surround the referee" cup.

City are always gonna be getting hit with a massive sales tax no matter who they buy. Who’d ever heard of Diaz and the others brought in from Europe the last couple of years. We buy squad players with terrible injury histories while they buy solid players who can do their job.

You do have to applaud them, in my view.

 

Ourselves and Chelsea are 2 of the top 5 teams and they bossed us both on our home patch.

 

Yeah having an incredible amount of money is a huge advantage, but Pep is a real football manager and we need him to leave; otherwise any success we have can only be sporadic.

Don’t get your point really. Guardiola doesn’t have to persevere with duds but Klopp often does. What could we do to fix things with the £20m we might have received for Keita this month, if any club was foolish enough to buy him? City would just sell him regardless and buy somebody else for £65m.

Most people had heard of Ruben Dias, mate. He was playing for Benfica, not Wycombe.

North London derby off. How helpful for Arsenal...
