How LFC must regret extending Van Dijk and Salah's contracts. In 2023-24, City were on our way to our 4th back to back title but the contract expiries of KDB and Walker's were looming. City bit the bullet and eventually said a sad farewell. Contrast that with Anfield in April 2025. They were on their way to an uncontested league title but they extended the deals of Van Dijk and Salah. Their media acolytes crowed, but Liverpool had committed a fatal mistake.

Carragher was on MNF calling Salah ‘selfish’ around this time last year. After all that Salah had done for that club, the bloke is a club legend, owes them nowt, yet there Spitty was live on tele giving him shit for daring to not sign a new contract yet and daring to speak to the media about the contract situation.

Even though he owes the club nowt, with the backlash, Salah probably felt pressured to sign a new contract. Being from the Arabic world, going to the big money Arabic league in Saudi Arabia, he’d have probably been the most sought after star in the league and it’s reported he was offered £600m to play there.

He’ll be gutted!

Now Carragher is in the media saying Salah shouldn’t be starting for Liverpool.

Unfortunately (but still proudly part of our history) we comfortably hold the accolade of Worst Title Defence Ever by a mile, being relegated at Champions in 1938. Oddly we were the league’s top scorers that season though.
Neither thing (Champions relegated or league’s top scorers relegated) has ever happened in football other than that season.

Here are some of the other worst title defences ever:

City 1967-68 Champions… 13th in 1969.
Villa 1980-81 Champions… 11th (granted with a EC win) in 1982.
Arsenal 1989-90 Champions… 9th in 1991, 13th in 1992.
Leeds 1991-92 Champions… 17th in 1993.
Blackburn 1994-95 Champions… 7th in 1996.
United 2012-13 Champions… 7th in 2014.
Chelsea 2014-15 Champions… 10th in 2016.
Leicester 2015-16 Champions… 12th in 2017.
Chelsea 2016-17 Champions… 5th in 2018.

Not bad league place finishes but huge drops in points:
City 2018-19 Champions with 98pts… 2nd on 81pts in 2020 (17pt drop).
Liverpool 2019-20 Champions with 99pts… 3rd on just 69pts in 2021 (30pt drop).

Tony 'Skip' Book missed most, if not all, of the first half of the 1968/69 season. To lose the captain for such a long period must have had quite a detrimental effect on the squad,

And we did win the FA Cup in that season

No; that was in the 68/69 season (April 26th. That following season, we won the League Cup and the ECWC .

Seems to have had a detrimental effect - he came back from injury against a very good Chelsea team, and we walloped them 4-1! Inspirational captaincy!

In the days where it wasn’t a squad game and there’d only be one sub on the bench each game, it will have made a big difference.

Another article on the BBC regarding the greatest injustice to occur in the modern game in the past 2 weeks, the dippers disallowed goal.

Give them another candle and give it a rest FFS.

Where the panel said it was right for them not to intervene. 3-2 split in favour of the refs. So that's that. Now fuck off crying.

Utterly incredible. Days and days after the match has been and gone. Every single weekend, there are fierce controversies among supporters about goals that should have stood which were overrruled, goals which were scored which should never have been allowed, penalties not given when they seem as clear as day, penalties given that are as soft as soft can be.
I repeat, this happens virtually every weekend.

Only Liverpool get this level of arse-licking. Even the two other red clubs don't get it. Makes me vomit.

I think Fulham have more justification for the disallowed goal at Chelski ,particularly as it has affected their position in the League.
The decisions theyve had at Anusfield ,particularly with Klopp in charge ,encouraging the Egyptian Tom Daley and Mane to go down was sickening and of course the Dippermedia took no notice.

Saw the same and thought 'theyre still going on about it!'. Only one other team get this level of sycophancy. Its ridiculous. Trouble is the refs will do what they did last year and give them everything now. Media job done
