Liverpool thread 2018/19

Even “one of their own” Souness is baffled by how that free kick was given.



Even with the world watching, they’re not even trying to be subtle anymore. It’s not incompetence(every week?) it’s bent simple as that. This league was decided in August before a ball was kicked, and they’ve wanted it to go to the wire all along to “boost the brand”. Is it any coincidence that it’s panned out the way it has this season, on the back of Scudamore’s comments at the start of the season? So it’s a huge achievement to be where we are, considering what we’ve been up against all season.

No it'd be funny as fuck and I'd probably piss my pants laughing all summer.

Our boys will turn up big style versus Leicester, Brighton and Watford.........I am however very concerned about the officials part in where this title ends up.........if deliberate hand ball on the line is NOT denying a goal scoring opportunity I don't know what is .....RED all day long.

Yes, but if he gives a red it's a penalty, no necessarily going to score it like Suarez with Uruguay.

Still haven’t seen a replay of Milner’s first challenge! I’ve talked on here before about double yellows never being given when there are times they should be. Last night after the first tackle which should have been a yellow he was allowed to effectively carry on and get a free yellow card. I also want to see the first challenge again because live I thought it could have been a red. Looked a really nasty, aggressive one.

Chris Brunt was booked twice and sent off for doing the exact same thing when he was playing for Northern Ireland.

The annoying thing about this scenario would be that the achievement of us winning back-to-back Premiere League titles; the first a record smashing wonder season and the second playing under the immense pressure of a serious challenge is that none of that will matter because the Dippers will be hailed as the greatest team ever to finish second in the history of football EVER.

I can see the back pages now: "Heartbreak" with a picture of Klipperty consoling a tearful Salad, then 7 more pages with pictures of crying fans, and reasons why the dippers 'deserve' to be Champions. City will be squeezed in somewhere on the inside pages, no doubt mentioning the 'oil money' and FFP.

How have they allowed us to claw back a 10 point lead and have our destiny in our own hands if they want them to win it?

There's only so much blatant help they can get, the rest is up to them. As has been said, let's just carry out our business.

I wonder how BBC Sport would report it?

They mocked the womens teams last week for finishing second despite being unbeaten.

Along with scoring 198 points in 2 seasons.

You're right. It will be boom in candle sales should they lose the title.

That's the first time I've seen that free kick. If we win tomorrow on the back of Sterling doing that kind of thing you can absolutely guarantee it'll be headline news.
