Is it my imagination or has the rhetoric changed within the broadcasting media?
There seems to be a very obvious change of pace regarding the tile run-in. Most of the narrative this morning has been about how well Liverpool have done and that they should be very proud of themselves.
The noises coming out of Sly Sports this morning is along the lines of have Liverpool lost too much ground?
It would be more favourable for Liverpool if City were playing Leicester away, is there any chance of a final twist? The Goat was on Sly early and actually said Liverpool have got the more difficult remaining fixtures. He knows it, we know it and the broadcasting media know it they've just been reluctant to admit it. It's like if we don't mention it Liverpool might not notice.
Couple of outlets even trying to put a positive spin on Liverpool by claiming it's not about trophies for Liverpool it's about building a solid foundation for the next few seasons.
Which is odd if you ask me because they've been part of the historical top four for 25 years so is it not too late to be thinking of building foundations?
Looks like they're trying to soften the blow if you ask me.
Point me in the direction of his angst over munching a banana, that found its way to his mouth courtesy of DP World.
Eh, what?
I edited my previous slightly - he writes about sport, not bananas. I have no idea what DP World is - presumably a banana supplier?
He's generally in the "anti-rampant commericalism above all things" camp.

That's not my recollection of what DP stands for.DP World is the only terminal operator to provide a choice of two deep water ports in the UK – DP World Southampton on the south coast and DP World London.
Haha!It's dawned on them that Liverpool, yet again, are in danger of winning the square root of fuck all.
Think that bulletin also carried the words ‘with a scuffed shot’5live news , around 7.30pm yesterday - City won when the ball was adjudged to have crossed the line. Bless em.
It's what he said word for word in the post match press conference. Watched it on YouTube last night. From 1:40I would like to know if the back page Pep quotes today in the Daily Mail are anywhere else, certainly not that I have seen in a variety of titles.
They describe Pep as bullish and the quotes seem VERY OUT OF CHARACTER...not to mention, disrespectful. Totally took his words out of context.
"Against Leicester, one of the most talented teams right now, we are going to get three more points. Then go to Brighton to get the win, the points we need to get back-to-back. Be calm again, we don't have a game until next Monday so we'll rest a little, recover a bit."
Manchester Evening News version: "Now it is two games, be calm again. We will rest and recover a bit and against Leicester - one of the most talented teams right now - we are going to (TRY TO) get three more points to go to Brighton to get the points we need to get back-to-back titles."
As someone who had to learn verbatim shorthand in court hearings, it is evidently clear to me that either the writer or the sub-editor has twisted the Pep quotes.
It's fucking not on and City should be right on the bastards.
The Daily Mail back page intro is Pep Guardiola was bullish. The entire premise of the piece is stood on them turning it.
If I was Brendan Rodgers, no team talk would be required on reading that.
It's weird, around this time last year, you couldn't open a paper or check a sports site without seeing an article about how we weren't the greatest PL team of all time because we had to defend our title for that to be true. Now we stand on the verge of doing that and there does not seem to be hundreds of articles stating we are on the verge of now being the greatest PL team of all time? Weird that, presumably they just don't want to jinx it
They constantly move the goal posts,if we win it will be but they have to win the CL before they are a great team,the state of the UK footbal media has never been worseIt's weird, around this time last year, you couldn't open a paper or check a sports site without seeing an article about how we weren't the greatest PL team of all time because we had to defend our title for that to be true.
