No ones called the club out for the disgraceful way they went about evicting local residents either, so season card gripes is a no no.

They didn't evict them, as they came up for sale they bought them and deliberately left them empty and in a state of disrepair. This meant that house prices in the area started to fall and because it started to look like Beirut more houses went up for sale, clearly no one in their right mind would buy them so LFC got them at a knock down price until they owned them all. (The few that were left in private hands were made ridiculously low bids but the owners had no choice but to accept. LFC then knocked them down and built their new stand.

I'm basically saying its a calculated ****s trick what the football club did.

To be fair though, it's not as if Liverpool fans have a history of this....

2013
Video footage has emerged of a potentially-deadly flare being thrown onto Manchester United fans at Old Trafford.
The red-smoking flare is captured being hurled from a top tier of Liverpool supporters during the League Cup derby.

2016
Liverpool charged with disciplinary action by UEFA for flare thrown on pitch

2018
Liverpool players celebrate as a smoke flare thrown from the Liverpool fans lands on the pitch during the Champions League quarter final match at the Etihad Stadium

2019
Special needs Chelsea supporter, 9, left 'confused and anxious' after needing first aid treatment when Liverpool fans threw smoke bomb into away section at Anfield
there's plenty more too. I wonder just how seriously they were all investigated

Yeah, I don’t think you can really put things down to fortuitous decisions at this stage of the season. Both teams are performing at an incredibly high level, and as a result we’ve got the tightest and most exciting title race for some time. Whoever wins it from here will thoroughly deserve it.
 
The media;

If city win the title - City pip Liverpool to retain the title

If Liverpool win the title - Liverpool fight off city to win the best title race ever

The goal against Palace wasn't offside. Neither was Sterling's v Watford.

When it the defenders touched the ball, they played both players onside.

I know, I know... interfering with play, in an offside position when it was played etc.
I agree - which, I'm sure you will understand is no the same thing as giving a shite.
They probably *should* have been offside (especially, if you're as auld as I am) but the law, as it stands nowadays, is a complete arse of a thing.
So, they weren't lucky incidents. Not in the true sense of the word, lucky. After all, the rules of the game are what they are.

Sorry, I don't remember the West Ham incident. I'm more than happy to accept your word for it, though. Obviously, we will have our lucky moments too.
Perhaps, most significantly, when only the thickness of a fly's mickey came between the ball crossing the line for a Liverpool goal and Stones nutmegging of Salah.

The Kompany incident is quite laughable, though. Could he have gone? Maybe but equally then Lovren could have done so for his challenge on Aguero and as for Robertson rugby tackling Sterling and the ref waving play on..!

On balance, I think Liverpool have had more of the rub of the green. I honestly don't think they should be berated for that though. (Although, a few officials need to take a long hard look at themselves).
I do think Salah is a diver and it is largely presented as something clever. This is particularly frustrating when every single penalty we get is quizzed and interrogated by the TV pundits, as prospective proof that Johnny Foreigner's team's murky dealings are clearly afoot, once more.
 
Just had a bit of a barney with the wife who was telling the grandkids that Liverpool win the league if they win their remaining matches, I told her that isn't true and she swore blind it was, after showing her the table she changed her story to "Well it can happen if City lose some games" now she's gone to her mates after me telling her to stop filling the lads heads full of shit she's read online, this is a blue house and propaganda doesn't belong here.

Had a mate come round last night telling me that in his opinion City wont win the league because we have more games to play, after me explaining that the bin dippers are still in the chumps league and the premier league and that BACKLOG of games amounts to an extra 2 he just muttered "That's my opinion. It isn't his opinion it's SKY sports opinion ffs.
