Jamie OHara on Talk Sport this morning saying he didn't think Liverpool fans would have invaded the pitch if they had won the PL as they are more used to success than City.

Clearly forgetting the thousands that broke covid laws and gathered in Liverpool when they won the PL. When they celebrated their first and only PL trophy. Where on earth do they get these so called pundits? Utterly clueless.

Heard that…. He said he always feels safe at Anfield! Clearly forgotten the bus wrecking incident… mind you didn’t Wolves fans stick the useless twat on eBay!

Chief Sports Writer in The Sun, Dave Kidd, says that 'it will be perfectly reasonable to argue that the champions of England are not the best team in England this season'. WTF. Yet then continues with absolutely nothing to base this on.

Man City win a 14th major trophy of the Sheikh Mansour (6PL, 2 FA Cups, 6 League Cups), or 61% of their trophies in 7.7% of their history. Six: trophies won since PL launched investigation, in March 2019 and ongoing, into alleged financial wrong-doing.

Only fit and proper to acknowledge the astonishing job that Man City's commercial team have done since Sheikh Mansour bought the club, allowing them to hire and pay the world's best coaches and players. A stadium naming rights deal worth £15m in 2013.

This is a world-beating operation, from the players and backroom staff to those generating the money to pay for it all. Naming rights in football are HARD to do but as long ago as 2013, City had the best deal in ALL OF GLOBAL SPORT.

Possibly only PSG can rival Man City in recent times for building such an authentic, organic, meritocratic culture - in which the likes of Mbappé and Haaland want to get involved - to highlight that success is built on hard work and talent.

City have had some less salubrious moments OFF the pitch this season, including asking a paedophile to gaslight his victims in the High Court. But look at the silverware! Four PL titles in five years; six in 11 years. Love the glory; look away from the rest

He's a complete nobody, I don't understand why you even click on his hate filled bile. He clearly has issues beyond football. Best ignored.

1) Heysel
2) Attacking our players coachers
3) Attacking our fans coaches after a hillsborough tribute
4) Setting light to their own town hall whilst breaking Covid rules

Also, Liverpool more used to winning? It’s our 6th league title in a decade ffs and they’ve won one in 30+ years.

I think he’s just thick or perhaps Simon Jordan has got on to him.

I always that it odd why he chose villa, weird. At least beatrice has her head screwed on

More than either her mum or dad has.
Perhaps Prince William was knocking off a bird from Chelmsley Wood and got it from her. Supporting Villa that is, not what l got from Sandra from there.
 
"A football club is the sum of the stories it tells about itself. This will go down in lore, adding to the belief that anything is possible. They will talk about it, write about it, sing about it. Guardiola's team have done many things. They had never before done this."

Thats from Sky report. And very true.

I'm not usually one to find offence in everything Sky say about us but the arsehole on SSN right now was talking about the parade last night. He hesitated before saying "hundreds lined the streets". Hundreds??? GTF.

I noticed that, i think it was on repeat this morning.
 
A bit of a shout out to the sports editor of the Waikato Times. In the last few weeks Liverpool's antics (results) have received big coverage whilst we got a miserly little column inch per game. Today they focused on us and our victory.

On reflection the scouse loving person may not have turned up for work being so pissed off and some one else did the report. So perhaps I should rescind that first comment.

The early morning radio led thesports section with Manchester was blue for the CHAMPIONS parade. And we featured on the TV News at lunchtime.

Just going off topic ...........................

I have captured so many video clips of the game and celebrations that I need to buy ANOTHER external drive for my PC. And the bubbly keeps flowing in our TRUE BLUE house.

Just remember this cracker from the media ( before we made it 4 from 5 ) " Manchester City and liverpool have shared the title for the last 4 seasons " Now correct me if I am wrong but if I shared 4 beers with a mate and I only got 1 wouldn't you be a tad disaappointed!

Why are large portion of the media still trying to push this City AND Liverpool dominating English football narrative? City have won 4 of the last 5 titles. 6 of the last 11. Of the other 5 seasons only Chelsea have won it more than once.

There is no City AND Liverpool dominating English football. There is no Liverpool stopping City dominating English football. There is just City.

This corker from The Athletic’s Data Analytics writer, no less, Mark Carey, from about 02:46.

https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-athletic-football-podcast/id1488521447?i=1000563208208

Carey trots out the familiar statistic of Manchester City and Liverpool having picked up 358 and 357 points respectively in the last four seasons, whilst omitting from his ‘analysis’ (which is actually not analysis at all, but merely simple addition) the fact that in the last five seasons, all of which have been contested in full by both Guardiola’s City and Klopp’s Liverpool, City are 26 points clear of Liverpool. The ‘data analyst’ actually omitting our 100-point season, because it didn’t fit the narrative.

Analyse 4 titles v 1. Close, it ain’t.



We could go back quite some time before the points balance tips into Liverpool’s favour. But using the start of the first season both current managers were in charge seems the only useful point of comparison.

I don't like the "City and Liverpool dominating" but in any sport great champions are usually defined by having great rivals. Utds dominance of the Premier league in the 90's will not be regarded as great era because there was no real long term rivalry. By leaving Liverpool in the conversation as a great team makes our near complete domination of them even greater.
