Obviously this could all be rubbish, but there was speculation about this after they won the title a couple of years ago, leading to this article:
Why Liverpool won’t win the Premier League this season – Back Page Football
The predictions made in this article were spot on. After winning the title, Liverpool form collapsed spectacularly the following season and they even lost 2nd spot to United. Based on this I would expect something similar next season, after they went all out this year.

Remember how they (nearly) all tested positive for covid at the same time, and then simiultaneously found out the results were wrong? Maybe they should all be retested for asthma to see how accurate their diagnoses were

There is something special about winning a game after you are a goal or two behind. For the PL to actually hinge on you getting the result, it must make it totally Orgasmic!!
Look at some of our great comebacks over the years - the 4-2 Liverpool win under Gullit when we were 2-0 down and went on to lift the FA Cup. Losing to Spurs before beating them 4-3 with a Steino penalty. There are more no doubt, but these games stick in the memory and it's why we all love football. Seeing the sheer joy on those City fans faces when that 3rd goal went in is what football is all about and of course that was made even better, knowing there would be dippers in tears up and down the country, but especially at Binfield!

I think getting the defensive additions sorted within the next month will be vital. If they’re in place by the first day of pre season, we’ve a good chance of top four otherwise next season could turn into a struggle.

Don't see why the BBC should apologise for stating what we all know!

BBC apologises after 'Manchester United are rubbish' appears on screen.
The BBC has apologised after a message appeared on the news channel saying "Manchester United are rubbish".
The text mistakenly popped up on the news ticker at the bottom of the screen during a tennis update just after 0930 on Tuesday.
Later in the morning, presenter Annita Mcveigh apologised to any Manchester United fans who may have been offended.
She said the mistake had occurred as someone was learning how to operate the ticker and was "writing random things".
Another message which appeared on the ticker read simply: "Weather rain everywhere."
Mcveigh told viewers: "A little earlier, some of you may have noticed something pretty unusual on the ticker that runs along the bottom of the screen with news making a comment about Manchester United, and I hope that Manchester United fans weren't offended by it.
"Let me just explain what was happening: behind the scenes, someone was training to learn how to use the ticker and to put text on the ticker, so they were just writing random things not in earnest and that comment appeared.
"So apologies if you saw that and you were offended and you're a fan of Manchester United.
"But certainly that was a mistake and it wasn't meant to appear on the screen. So that was what happened, we just thought we'd better explain that to you."

I never thought I'd say this, but: Come on Feyenoord!
Feyenoord are totally different kettle of fish than the Cleaning Solution, thankfully

Good for Jose and Tammy to win a cup, although I still dont get the point of that cup, for those who aren't good enough to make it the knockout rounds of the Europa league?
Yes but also it's just another cup for lower level teams to strive to win. In England we have all kinds of trophies and vases below the FA Cup, it's good that there is more than the paltry 2 cups for the whole of Europe to compete for.
Roma haven't won a trophy for well over 10 years and they are full of joy tonight, it's a good thing for football.
