It’s a nice PR story for those clubs but when it comes to funding there’s no sentimentality where money is concerned. American owners are not benefactors.

But that's exactly the sort of short-term profit-driven attitude that these owners have. Of course women's football is loss-making for big clubs right now. But the whole point is that we invest in it now and it will hopefully become a popular sport as it gets better. And if it does, us and Chelsea will be in pole position to take advantage, while the rags and dippers will still be relying on the historical achievements of the men's team to claim prestige. It'll be City players starring in the Champions League, World Cup or Olympics. It'll be City selling more kits to little girls. And if it never becomes that big, well let's be honest, it's all for the price of a squad player in the men's team.

To be fair, I think the rags have recognised this and that's why they seem a bit keener to make a go at it after years of not giving a shit. It still irritates me to hear them referred to as a big team though, as if the women's team has anything to do with the men's team. If anything, it shows a lack of respect for teams that have been successful in women's football for years.

Was just reading that on the BBC app. Bizzare, isn't it? So, if Liverpool had not had so many defenders (2?) injured, then...

Liverpool would have scored more goals?

Liverpool would have taken more points off city, but less off united?

Liverpool's opponents would have played worse, with less desire to prove themselves against the current champions?

Liverpool would have not broken the record for most home defeats in a row?

Mane and Bobby Teeth Jr would have hit form?

Liverpool would somehow have gone on a run to match city, winning nearly every game on the bounce, including against city.

And we're not including the Jota injury by the way. Yes he's a good player but they won the league last year without him. Why does it always have to been about them? "City wouldn't have won the title if it wasn't for us...". 17 points Juergen, 17! And that's with some pretty jammy results recently.

No, simple truth is city deserved it. Suck it up Klopp, and have a bit of humility. Your deficiencies as a manager poked through this season, and next one is a biggie to prove to the world you and you're team are not one title wonders. Personally, I think you're all overrated and evidently quicker to point the finger or take any credit than you are to congratulate or take responsibility.

Oh, and let's hope palace give uncle roy a send off to remember. Then you can tell everyone next year how city wouldn't have won the title if Salah hadn't jumped ship, Virgil hadn't been resurrected on a Sunday with tomato ketchup instead of fresh blood, and Manchester had never built that bloody ship canal all them years ago.

Ungracious winners. Sore losers. Someone fetch Klopp's toys as he's just bucked them out his pram again. Diddums.
