Come on mate we play them on the 9th April, it's extremely unlikely they'd have won the title with 7 games to spare. I don't think any side has done that in the history of the Premier League
Didn't we win the title with 7 to spare? Or was it 6, i forget.
It wasn't our day today , that's all. It does happen to the best of teams. The problem is City set the bar so damn high it's almost impossible to compete year after year. They are on pace for over 100 points. Damn , we finished with 98 points and didnt win the league. There was a time I thought that would be impossible.
As for today, Once Mo missed the Pen. i was very nervous. And the miss by Mane, WTH. Catching City now is nearly impossible , nearly. We still play them. The gap is 6 with even number of games played. Definitely a long shot for sure. Start with a must win Sunday.
How about we focus more on Domestic Cups also, now that we are in a semi-final. Go on and win it FFS. A trophy is a trophy. FA Cup as well. Champions League. Losing a title to a team that can spend 100 million on a guy that rarely starts is no shame. It's just the fact. Their "B" team would probably be competing for a top 4 spot.
I fear the Premier League is turning into the Bundesliga where Bayern wins the league before a ball is kicked. The only one to stop them was Klopp , twice. And the only one to stop City since Klopp got here was Klopp. I love this team and the style we play. They have given us so much joy in the last 3-4 years. Let's not forget.
Sadly , reality is City , Chelsea and maybe even eventually Newcastle (stress maybe) will probably win 8 or 9 titles every 10 years between them. Money talks and bullshit walks and they both spend truckloads of it. Modern football
One thing that gets me nervous now is that Salah is not locked up long term by now. The man said he wants to finish his career here. Make it happen. I can't understand why FSG is messing around with this. He's the most important player we've had during this great run. Give him a blank check FFS. If FSG lets him go, then FSG can F**k off. It's time to rejuvenate the squad, which we should have been doing the last few transfer markets. Instead of having a negative transfer spend. You have to spend money to win in football , like when we signed VVD and Ali for big bucks. CL and League next 2 seasons.
I'm still so proud of this club , no matter what happens. Always will be.
Sorry for the rant, just gutted after today.
Happy New Year All and YNWA
