Wait for next weekend when our Champions League ends up in their fithy hands.

They’ll probably steal it before kick off as it’s their custom in that city

City fans were mocking us, saying 2012 was a fluke and it was the worst thing to happen when we won etc, and here we are praising them. Their fan base are the most plastic football-philistines going, at least with Liverpool.. their fan base are mostly of the older demographic, so you’ll get some level of respect from them, since they truly understand the difference between us and City in terms of pedigree before takeovers. 

We are not praising them, we’re just happy the dirty scousers are not winning the quadruple, and with any luck end up just with the domestic cups. Do you really think or have sensed any respect from the Liverpool scum? With all their you ain’t got no history and that sh*t?

Well, this is it really, we all have different experiences, especially with people ‘off-line’, personally I’ve got a feeling Real Madrid will do it, so wasn’t all that worried about a quadruple but I see your point, obviously we don’t want that. 

Thank you Man City…the way you lured the Liverpool fans in only to piss on their parade provided some of the sweetest minutes for many a year. Please Real Madrid, follow suit. Loved all us fans mocking Liverpool and Gerard in last 15 minutes today 😂

Lets all pray for the Benzema that faced us to turn up next week!

If not, 0-0 for 85 minutes then Hazard on as a sub to score!

Totally disagree with this opinion. making up songs like you aint got no history doesn't signify respect to me. even some of the older demographic say we bought everything, but they win the honourable way, which is in my opinion BS and bad manners. The players still have to go out and perform, and put their bodies on the line.

Although on this occasion @RMH this is very much more on you than I. You are Spanish after all, you have closer proximity access to make sure the Real boys are fully focused and motivated, and Benzema is in killer mode. 

Don't let us down eh? 😉

 

Well at least the quadruple BS is settled. What’s funny is some of my Liverpool mates are mystified that Chelsea fans and United fans root for City to win the league, not understanding the majority of Chelsea and United fans don’t care for City and hate Liverpool more. 

So surprised Pep started with Mahrez rather than Sterling.

Still made it more entertaining and probably broke a few more Liverpool hearts .

Had a small betting win on Leeds and don't think Liverpool are going to beat RM either.

 I can’t see how their failure to get a win despite semi and final appearances in Europe offers hope when they win the league in a dramatic style of their choosing every year. And they will win the CL sooner or later. And when they do they’ll keep winning it.

Because they're approaching the end of their cycle. KdB has maybe 2 years left and injuries has been catching up to him, Gundogan is their chance card these days. 

The same goes for Pool. We were once in their position and even then it was hard to replace a generation of winners again and again. 

I know it’s abit early but I was thinking about the race for top 4 next season. It’s looking like it will surely be a tight race with many teams competing. I know it’s never normally a straight shootout by the top 6/7 teams as usually one or two teams will struggle or run into problems. 
 

City - guaranteed

Liverpool - pretty much guaranteed (I’m hoping for a full on meltdown season)

Chelsea - SHOULD be good enough 

The rest:

United, Spurs, Arsenal

Plus possible Newcastle depending on how they spend  

Big competition coming up I think. We need to be wise  

 

We could be anywhere from 3rd to 17th. It really depends how many players we lose and who we sign to replace them, and how they all fit in.

Counting chickens before they hatch, this is what happens when VAR is on your side all season, the fist pumping fans was funny, may as well of rammed that fist up their own backside.

If they have asthma and are in the 'at risk group' from covid, i wonder how many had the vaccine? i bet it's not even 6% let alone 63%.

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

City seem to always win the league with some crazy drama, 3 goals in 5 minutes late on, the Aguero moment, Crystanbul, the Kompany goal.

We always win it in a routine fashion, would love to do it one day with an incredible moment.

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 am not sure we are guaranteed to be top 4 next season.

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.
