Liverpool thread 2018/19

[domalino]

I've got one mate who supports Liverpool and he even said the day before the final day, even when he knew they weren't likely to get it, that he'd rather have the Premier League. I think most of them would, because the Premier League is the better measure of which team is the best. Cup competitions by their nature have a large element of luck involved. When you hear people talk about the great teams of the past, it's always based on their league performance, rather than the Champions League (unless they win both in the same season, or they do three back-to-back like Real Madrid). Nobody points to Liverpool's 2005 team or Chelsea's 2012 team as one of the greats of English football. Mourinho's team that dominated the Premier League are considered among the best though.

You want to win the CL to show you're the best team in Europe (and therefore the world).

You can't be the best team in the world if you finished 2nd in the league.

That's why they care so much. Being crowned Champions of Europe when you know you aren't is hollow.

I think Liverpool will strengthen, they will most likely add another forward that can play anywhere in the front line. Timo Werner or Zaha type of player.

The problem will be getting the same value out of the current squad. The gap in quality compared to city is still there, and I don't think it will be possible to get maximum output two seasons in a row.

Think you will have to start by replacing the ones who will leave now that Herr klopp has been found out to a fraudster. Sorry expert at coming first loser.

PREMIER League chiefs have agreed that as Liverpool did so well but still did not win they can carry their points over to the following season.

The club, which ended a period of sustained success 30 years ago, will begin next season with a 97-point head start over their rivals in the hope of making the league competitive.

A spokesman said: “Liverpool have tried ever so hard and their poor fans, whose bedrock belief that they are naturally superior to all other clubs has never wavered, really deserve this.

“We’ve asked City if they mind sharing the trophy but churlishly they’ve refused, like the brash, oil money brats they are, so instead we’re doing the right thing to ensure that Liverpool win next year.

“With almost a hundred point lead they’ll be able to still do things they enjoy, like losing to Crystal Palace, without it ruining everyone’s good time and allowing justice to be done.”

Liverpool fan Nathan Muir, who was raised in Wiltshire, said: “I began supporting Liverpool in 1985 because I thought it was guaranteed they would win everything. It’s not fair that they don’t.

“Other fans will make a fuss but really they know it’s right. Because we’re class.”

Being a bit of an oldie I'm not certain this link will work, 17 seconds summing up Liverpool's run in ( just in case YouTube Devon loch)

Flipping heck it worked

Liverpool fans have gotten right on top of the players singing in the video. Shit storm incoming

Sounds dubbed to me and why would they sing Kompany injured Salah, doesn't make sense.

I did wonder that when I first saw it but not sure.

They've not taken it well, they're suggesting the 'battered in the streets' is to do with the incident in Rome?

Thought it was a video of supporters at first, didn't realise it was the players/probably more background staff singing it?

Not sure it's a wise one to sing unless I'm missing something.

Fuck the scouse ****s. Just think what Milner would be saying if they won the league, he’d be rubbing it in.

I just think there’s a big difference between fans singing something and actual employees of the Club. It’s not gonna come across great.

Although it probably shows they hate Liverpool as much as the fans...

Exactly what fucking planet are the likes of you and Roy Hendo on.

City's owners have arrogantly tried and to date succeeded in smashing into oblivion the rules introduced to attempt to make the sporting playing field within football at least a weeny bit more level and fair. These being rules to which other clubs bar PSG have broadly adhered - we'll leave the Chelsea of a few years ago, Barca and real madrid out of it so as not to muddy the waters. City's owners have done this across 5 or 6 years having cynically selected Man City as their chosen flagship because City were able to entice them with a ready made brand new stadium paid for by hardworking tax paying soft c*nts like me. The rule flouting has gathered pace since Guardifuckiingola arrived. All told it has been cheating to the tune of hundreds of millions of pounds. They have then - a la the Authorities over Hillsborough with the lies and misrepresentations they promulgated concerning the blame and responsibility for that fateful day - wilfully sought to disguise those financial breaches by - amongst other things - inventing hugely inflated sham sponsorships to make it appear that the rules they have shat all over have not been shat all over.

It is irrelevant as to whether what they have done constitutes criminal fraud. What matters - the sole thing that does matter - is that they have cheated the sport in which they participate by ensuring as far as possible that the weekly league competition in which they participate is no longer anything approaching a fair and reasonable one but rather an annual 'fait accompli'.

Had the owners of Barcelona not been so fucking stupid and gifted Liverpool Alison Becker and Virgil van Dyck on the backs of football's most ludicrous transfer fee then the cold sobering reality would have been that for the second successive season Manchester City would have clinched the Premier league title by 20 to 30 points. Moreover, such a putrid state of affairs would have continued indefinitely.

The defrauding that has taken place has been the defrauding of proper sporting competition and of the public that rightly believe in and cherish the same.

One further consideration in this shambles of a situation concerns the collective British sporting media which virtually across the board have either chosen to deliberately turn a blind eye to the cheating instigated by a once great club or else are as fucking dumb as some of the posters within this thread who seem to believe it is in order to do likewise and even congratulate this obscene institution that City have become.
