It's a top 1 because you guys are having a bad season with some key injuries, and they've handled their injuries a bit better. Can't imagine the pressure that must build from seeing your rival win game after game after game every week, when you're not in great form. There's no way you will, but you could run this squad back fully healthy next year and end up winning the league again. A couple of key signings and you'll win it next year with that determination to prove the doubters wrong mentality.

Fair point, we've won back to back league titles and this team deserves all the credit for that.
This season is the after effect of being at full pelt for two seasons, there was always going to be a dip and it's happened this year.
I still think there may be twists and turns still but they will have to be pretty huge swings.

Welcome to the forum.
 
The thing for me about Liverpool and its fans is they are incredibly self congratulatory it’s unreal. They just refuse to compliment anyone else on success. They seem to see it as a huge injustice that they didn’t win it and the only reason anyone else wins anything is due to “buying it”, “cheating”, “luck” or of course “oil money from humans rights abusing owners”. They literally haven’t got it in them to say “Well done”.

I heard a Liverpool fan the other day tell me that them beating Barcelona 4-0 last year was a much bigger moment in football than Aguero’s 93:20.

So here goes...I've been a long term lurker on here, but I joined today because I want to give you guys some advice that genuinely comes from a place of love. I'm a Birmingham fan, so the top of the prem is about as far away from my clubs interests as an ant copying the hunting tactics of a lion. First some background, I grew up in the era where Liverpool were the dominant team in football, and with a few family members supporting them, I always enjoyed watching them play.

I never liked united or Chelsea but loved that early 2000's Arsenal team. Then you guys came along, and you gave me hope that maybe at some point my club could get an investor and although it's doubtful we'd get one like yours, there would be a chance to propel us up the food chain and make us relevant. I identified with you guys seeing you struggle through the lower leagues and you easily became the team I'd always watch out for in the league. Then you got Pep (whose Barca team is probably the greatest I've ever seen), so city winning the league with 100 pts a season, playing the football of the gods for a decade until we get our house in order and rightfully rise to our birthright at the top of the league would have been the ideal scenario for me - and I'm sure most of you wouldn't have minded that either!

However, this forum is a poor reflection on city this year; the conspiracy theories flying around are, to an outsider, insane. I'm a member of a few footie forums, including a Liverpool one, and last year they were full of praise and admiration for the title-winning run you put together. It wasn't a bottle job - they finished with a points tally that only one team in English league history had bettered. Twice!

Football by it's very nature is cyclical, which is why united went 26 years without winning it, and liverpool are at 30. Your owners mean that cycle is no longer relevant to you, so you'll always be around that level. You'll win it far more regularly than any other club in my opinion. That's the point, you can't win it every single year, so learning how to not cry foul every time someone else has a better season is important.

Instead of drugs, var, media, any other Alex Jones-esque infowars bullshit conspiracy theories, don't lower yourselves to that level. Re-group next year and take it back, rather than it being everyone else's fault that you're going to lose it this year.

I know you're probably going to call me a red, if everything I've read on these pages over the last few weeks is anything to go by, but I genuinely want you guys to be better than you're being. Take that with the intended sincerity, or tell me to fuck off, it's up to you.

"Birmingham fan" eh?

Posting on the Liverpool thread.

Surely this post you've written should have gone in the Is the game bent thread?

I've been pretty positive all season but it's hard to argue that the Dippers are now the best team in the Prem if not Europe. Several pundits have touted a top 2 then the rest but it's now a top 1 and the rest.

Hopefully this is a freak season but if we don't get our recruitment right in the next couple of windows there is no reason why this ****s won't dominate for the next 2-3 seasons, let that thought sink in....

Prepare for a Decade of dipper delusion overload.
