out of all the comments in this thread this was most satisfying from back in beginning of Feb
Imagine having to actually do it though, to win it by a single point.

Great post.......I said to the guy sitting next to me at the Liverpool game a few times to look at Klopp, he was going crazy on the sideline ... waving and jumping and yelling and calling out his players and almost tearing his hair out ... which to me said his players weren’t doing what he had asked them to, they were a little in the not-lose mode ... but then with his team selection he himself had set that tone that day ... a team had a chance to go 10 pts clear by being positive and going for the win, but they came wanting to not lose and protect the 7pt lead they had ...
They could’ve gone 10 clear and they didn’t ... today I have seen exactly the same ... they had a chance to go 7 clear and they couldn’t yet again ...
Difference between being 5 pts and 7 pts ahead is huge at this stage of the season ... 5 pts means only two results swap our position with them ... a game lost and one drawn more than us and we finish ahead of them (on goal diff) ... 7 pts however would have meant 3 games needed swinging our way out of the only 14 left ...
I said this on that first Thursday in January, that we’d win this league because they will bottle it and shit themselves come the business end of the season ... and I say exactly that again tonight ...
Now watch us win the next three ... on paper they all look tough but Arsenal, Everton and Chelsea (seen them tonight?) are all right in the form we’d like them to be in ... so c’mon City - let’s do this!
A lot seemed to stay for the trophy presentation.Not seen it anywhere, what were the Brighton fans like yesterday? Any celebrations from them?
Alright Sky Blues, Evertonian here in complete peace
Just wanted to say thank you and you're welcome!
Thank you for saving the footballing world (for at least a few weeks) from having to put up with our red neighbours being even more insufferable than usual.
And you're welcome for the 2pts we kept from them at Goodison which put the title race back in your hands - which you took advantage of in incredibly impressive fashion. Pickford made up for his...moment... at Anfield with a 90th min save from Salah.
Lime Street Station was fun yesterday by the way:
CONGRATULATIONS!
Fair fucks to you mate, I was done after that Newcastle game.
Think I remember Carragher saying something like 'maybe chasing will suit Liverpool' and I thought it was bonkers then and it sounds even worse now. Having it in your own hands, always and forever.
Forget goal line clearances or missed penalties or even the head to head: they should have gone for it against United away. A win there and they would have won the league and a loss there and they would have missed out by 2 points.
Good to see United had one use this season! Their last dropped points were at Everton too! Think they were slightly pleased by our win judging by their celebrations yesterday! One lad even had a city flag on the concourse.
