  1. Honestly, I think, regardless of the outcome, the brand of the Premier League will be damaged for a long time. If City are found guilty, then the dominate team of the last decade broke the rules to win several league titles. If City are found not guilty, then the perception will be they got away with it. The horse bolted on all this stuff decades ago. In 2003, the Premier League and its associated partners welcomed a Russian Oligarch into the league with untold riches. He bankrolled Chelsea with money effectively handed to him due to the breakdown of the Soviet Union. The only reason Roman was allowed to be who he was is because Putin allowed and continues to allow it, and he would have been locked up in jail had he ever defied him. It was sport washing, but people thought it was the best thing ever and were happy to along with it. Several years later, Abu Dhabi buy Man City and they take the whole thing to another level. The whole thing has been a farce for years. I'm also not particularly fond of having a load of American venture capitalists owning around half the Premier League clubs.
  2. TBF, City's case is on a different level to that of Everton, Forest etc. If City are found guilty, then it's probably automatic relegation among other things.
  3. Tbf, getting say 2 points back could be all it takes to keep them up. Everyone down the bottom is so crap.
  4. What about Pedro? A very, very good player for both Barca and Chelsea, yet probably never really got the credit he deserved because he was often overshadowed by more high profile names.
  5. Also, we've been utter crap for about 25 years now. Aren't you sort of numb to any taunting? Yeah, we are sh*t. What's your point?
  6. Yeah, I know a few plastic Liverpool fans, and they have zero interest about anything below the top 4 or 5 teams in the Premier League.
  7. You should have stood up on the table
  8. Is it though? For whatever reason, people in this country who act like a bit of a be11end are often liked by certain sections of the population. It's almost like there's an admiration for someone who has it in them to behave like that. I don't overly mind Colin these days, though I think a big part of that is because I can't stand Chris WIlder.
  9. And it's Ipswich 6 Sheffield Wednesday 1
  10. He got it wrong yesterday, but no sane fan is turning on the guy. Without him, we'd have been down along with Rotherham already.
  11. Klopp calling an interviewer "not in the best shape" after the game. What a spunktrumpet.
  12. https://twitter.com/EflSimpsons/status/1769433358004625752
  13. They get incredibly favourable coverage from the mainstream media. Huge presence in terms of pundits, more so than even United. It just gets very boring hearing about how great they are and how it means more, the Anfield atmosphere etc. To varying degrees those things (apart from the means more rubbish) might be true, but it sure helps when you have the entire mainstream media leaning into the narratives.
  14. Don't have to hear about a "quad" anymore.
  15. Klopp fuming at the end too. Tremendous.
  16. The best Man U v Liverpool game I've ever watched. Usually, these games are proper sh*te or one team gets hammered. Genuine classic this.
  17. Not often you see a United team show fight and spirit these days.
  18. Three excellent QFs this season out of four. Shame that the coverage is going onto TNT sports. Classic FA.
  19. United made a good start here tbf to them.
  20. Makes you appreciate how good Pep is. He had this guy scoring 30 goals a season.
  21. Well, I got the first bit right
