If City were to dominate the P/L for the foreseeable, where would be the satisfaction in that?
We need close competition.
That's what makes the league what it is.
The dippers finished close to City last season points wise, (only 1 less than us),, but closer than they should have.
Klopp is a decent manager. Pep respects him. I think Klopp has got a group there who will run through brick walls for him. He inspires them, makes them believe that they are world beaters, but for all his best efforts, the dippers aren't even close to us. That 1 point gap could easily have been 10 or even more points.
For many years I watched City.
I watched us when we were in the third tier, when we won promotion and the rags won the treble. I clung on to any small victory that I could during those days and it was impossible to comprehend 'ickle City ever getting a seat at the top table back then.
Well, here we are today, sitting at the head of that table and looking like we will be there for many years to come.
I relish the competition, from whichever team provides it.
For what it's worth I think that Spuds are a dark horse and the rags will probably finish in the bottom half.
As for the dippers?
They may hold on to 2nd, but it is by no means nailed on...

I could handle 20 years of winning the league by 1 point, along with the CL every other year and all 7 every four years

We have just had a dipper join at work. HR send out emails giving a few details about new starter's likes and interests. Normally these are fairly balanced but this new bloke's is just about how he follows "The Mighty Reds" in Europe - no mention of family or anything else.
Something tells me we might not get on!

Maybe he's a Welsh fan in the 6 Nations :-)
Okay no, hit the bugger !

What an absolute whitewash the report into the mess at the Champions League final in Paris is.

A complete waste of time and an utter disgrace.

Just listened to a report on BBC Outside Source, the anchor sets the scene as Liverpool fans exonerated from Champions league fiasco and passes over to the reporter in Paris who says whilst the independent panel made up of Government opposition have concluded that the policing was poorly organised and the response was overly harsh, it was however the amount of forged paper tickets Liverpool fans had that caused the pinch points.
As we all suspected bin-dippers with snide tickets and French organisation - the perfect storm
Don’t suppose that reporter will work for the beeb again though.

Don't know why? We all know it's never their fault, and we all now know there will be a justice for the Paris Pussies campaign, the slogan should be no fan should ever go to a football game with a fake ticket, and not get in

Just go and watch the highlights and see the Liverpool fans standing on the stair wells ? So they are buying tickets to stand on the stairs now

We all know what happened, but as usual these tireless cun*s will campaign until the end to justify it, we have seen it before and no doubt will see it again sigh

It's funny that Liverpool fans outside moaning about getting in ? Well if your own fans did not jump the gates or use fake tickets, then your seats would be still empty meaning you would have got in fine

please, somebody have the balls to stand up to the scum fans and call it like we see it

I’m not sure this is the example that you want to use for that purpose.

Whilst there were fake tickets, it’s obvious that there were massive failings in crowd management and security.

The French would be blaming the scousers if they could.

Both things can be true tbf
They still intercepted 2,700 fake tickets. How many more might have been in people’s pockets once the exterior perimeter scans were abandoned?
Their official allocation was 19,618 so more than 10% of the tickets they actually checked were fake

Yeah and you’re probably right, although they’re saying that the police/security fucked up more than the fake tickets caused the issues.
 
Despite the press and council propaganda I think most people will understand that there were stacks of forgeries circulating and there was a plan to use these to breach the outer security checks and then jib through turnstiles and over fences.

Exactly. I have pics on my phone from the days before the game of many more than 2700 tickets being advertised for sale from multiple sources. Surely its not beyond the authorities to piece this together. The Liverpool end was full, all stood in isles. There's countless stories/video of 1000's of people with genuine tickets (so they say) not getting in. The Authorities were set up to cope with 20000 people and likely faced 40000 and were overwhelmed.
