Aldridge full on bitter Kopite gobshite mode.
Aldridge believes Liverpool's achievement of keeping the pace with a side that has benefited from the biggest finial investment in the history of the English game is commendable, as he suggest City's route to success is ‘unpleasant'.
"When you consider the advantages City have had over Liverpool with the ridiculous money that has been pumped into that club over the last 10 years and more, Klopp has produced a minor miracle to build a team with a fraction of the budget and match them blow for blow," he adds.
"Manchester United fans will disagree, but I bet most football fans would prefer to see a Liverpool side that have built a team with money generated by the club's shrewd business dealings end up as champions rather than a City team who have been propelled to the top of the game because of money from oil-rich owners.
"Pep Guardiola is a great manager and City are a fine team, but there will always be something unpleasant about a rich guy winning a contest over a less fortunate rival and that is what we have here.
"Throw in the fact that most teams City play roll over and have their tummy rubbed by them as they are scared stiff of taking them on and I can only commend this Liverpool team for what they have achieved.
