  1. Yes but it was only the drop off that stopped it being more than 20 points! I just hope we aren’t taking it to the wire, I rather like it boring the tits off the rest when we’re so much better.
  2. The smaller time before the season starts doesn’t just affect us, it’ll affect other teams too. They’ll have less time to integrate new players and get tactics across, and for their players to acclimatise to the country and the Premier League, so basically unless they hit the ground running, we could steal a march on the rest because we have the same players that outperformed them all when it mattered. That’s not to say we shouldn’t have strengthened, but only Klopp and the owners know the reason we we might not do that. There’s still time mind. The big factor for me is whether Klopp can get the players mentality back to where it was last season before we actually confirmed the title and which fell away afterwards unsurprisingly. Despite all the money spent by others, I don’t think they’ll improve by 20 points, which is what they would have to do if we get back to it, starting against Leeds next weekend.
  3. All this is our fault. That 4-0 twatting ruined them. Never been the same since.
  4. Doesn’t matter what BBC, BT, Sky or Pep Guardiola say. They’re out. Failed again, unless the Carabao cup is the one they really wanted.
  5. I really need to know how a UEFA and LFC conspiracy caused Sterling to sky that sitter. I’m not watching the after match shite but I bet that miss is conveniently shoved to one side and the Ref and/or VAR get the blame for them going out.
  6. “Yeh, well, we didn’t want to win it this year anyway, I mean, it’s not being played out properly is it? It should have been null and voided, like the League, I mean, there’ll always be an asterisk against it won’t there? I mean, it’s tainted isn’t it? Isn’t it?”
  7. Just watching the VJ Day commemoration on BBC and the game on iPlayer, you’ll never guess what song hey’ve just started to feature................YNWA...........hahahahahahahahahah
  8. Made it easy for Sterling to pull it back, and nobody tracking de Bruyne. Inevitability about this now.
  9. Chelsea have always not been averse to being overly physical, but that was a joke sending off. If anything, Xhakas foot came down on Kovacic. Isn’t there any VAR in this game??
  10. “Further, Article 68 of the FIFA Statutes provides that the confederations, members and leagues shall agree to recognize CAS as independent judicial authority. Recourse to ordinary courts of law is prohibited unless specifically provided for in the FIFA regulations. This prohibition also applies to provisional measures (see Art 68 (2)). FIFA forces its members to impose sanctions on any party that fails to respect this obligation.” It’ll be up to CAS then if City are dragged back in and asked to explain themselves again. Somehow I don’t see it happening, they’re as slippery as a barrel full of eels.
  11. Don’t have a scooby what this is about, but voted yes. Someone has to keep Dave in check.
  12. As with any player who leaves us and tried his best while he was here, best of luck Dejan.
  13. Divock is our fourth striker, but surely there’s no debate that we could have a better option. There’s no doubt that there are likely better options out there. There’s no doubt that a club with its stock as high as ours currently is, could and should be looking for a better option if there is the desire to remain at the top, and you’re more likely to attract better players when you’re at the top of your game. I would be very surprised if the club hasn’t been looking to improve in every area, not just at strikers, to bolster the squad, however, that said, we don’t know who if anyone has been considered or approached, or maybe it is felt we already have the answers available or maybe the players we’re looking at are too expensive. We always used to strengthen the squad when we were winning things, as did united, so the precedent has been set, what will be interesting is whether we let players go and then elect not to replace them.
  14. Any half decent striker should be able to score a few goals in our team. Divock is a half decent striker who has, fortunately, scored important goals for us as well, to the point where in many eyes he has built up a fair few credits. Problem is if one of the front three get injured or if they’re misfiring or out of sorts, we don’t have the same level of quality to replace them, and Divock won’t always produce the goals when they’re needed. Given the number of games we play, it should be possible to find a good fourth striker and give them a sufficient number of games to keep them happy, while, hopefully, maintaining a level in the team. It’s called managing.
  15. Having seen how poor we’ve been recently, I bet Lampard really fancied their chances. Then from the first whistle he’d seen first hand how we can play. Obviously that pissed him off and his reaction to Kovacic’s foul was likely more of “oh shit don’t give it away there” knowing also what Trent can do and which he duly did. It should have ended as they all left the pitch, so to keep harping on about it shows he’s learned from his time at Chelsea, and don’t forget City, that everyone that hasn’t got more money than you should just let you have your own way. Unfortunately for Frank, gawd bless ‘im, he’s going to have to learn the hard way that class will always beat cash, and that his understanding of arrogance is way off the mark, what he, his former manager and teammates at Chav central had was arrogance, what he faced at Anfield the other night was a well earned and hard fought for superiority complex.
  16. If he does divide fans then, really, he shouldn’t. Whenever Jordan isn’t in the side, you notice it. Over time he’s proved, I believe beyond doubt, that his presence in our midfield is pivotal to our better performances. Look at how we’ve struggled since his injury recently, our defence has been exposed more and, probably due to some drop off due to having won the league already as well, we’ve conceded the most number of goals per game in that period than we have all season. Jordan would’ve been out there shouting, directing, cajoling and, yes, captaining the team and demanding no drop off in performance even though the league was won. He won’t always be able to command in that way, but he’s got to a point in his career now where he is the most influential captain in the Premier League.
  17. Rudiger has left something in nearly every time he’s made a challenge. Needless to say Marriner hasn’t seen anything wrong with that and hasn’t even had a word.
  18. Having missed the easier ones, Mo will likely score a worldie now.
  19. Oooof! Against the run of play that. Like Giroud though , think he’s decent That needs to be the last gift this season though.
  20. Chelsea more physical in the challenges. Might have to give a bit back here.
  21. Top, top fella is Luis. There’s a few like. ”Once you’ve been touched.......” Ooops.
  22. I guess most teams see beating us as the pinnacle of their achievements, whereas City are just another rich team that they don’t give a fuck about losing to?
  23. Sharper since the substitutions except in the one area it matters, in the box.
