28 years without a league title this season, let's hope it continues for a long time.
And I think it will. They'e been bang average since Klopp took over - and they weren't all that before.
The whole club seems to want to play up to its 'victims' tag. One fan I spoke to is convinced that had Mane not been sent off they would have beaten us easily. I asked him to justify this absurd statement and all he could muster was the usual: "Yeah well, City are a team full of mercenaries, and Pep's a fraud!" No rational discussion, no logical answers to my questions, no attempt at explaining why he thought he was right, just a lazy, childish riposte based entirely upon envy.
It must seriously rankle with both these and the rags something chronic that we've got money, a great future, a terrific ground, players of such trouser-wetting brilliance the likes of which have never graced the Prem before, genuine supporters from Manchester (as opposed to those plastic day-trippers that infest the swamp with their tacky souvenir hats and scarves, like a set of deranged housewives on a jolly to Blackpool for the day), and one of the finest managers in football in charge, getting us to play, fluid, creative football light years away from that stagnant, school playground kick-a-bout excrement the Portuguese Pulis serves up.
Overall, it's looking pretty healthy for us. But for the two most loathsome clubs in the UK, someone should start reading the last rites to them.
