Did I hear the commentators say that they could afford to lose 6 of their remaining games and still win, but they’d only lost 6 of their last 96? If that’s correct it’s an incredible stat.

I don’t know if it’s true or indeed if you heard it but I do wish Liverpool FC all the best and hope we can move past this time relatively peacefully because there are some teams that aren’t doing as well as that despite spending a lot of money and that’s VERY IMPORTANT to people here sometimes

Oohh those Manchester boys, what are they like

#2686

You could say they slipped into it

Got to feel for the fans with the long trip to the wirral instead of an easy trip to Watford.

Absolutely should milk it, 100%, no question.

They’ve not done too badly during that time, though (this will be their twentieth trophy, behind only United and, marginally, Arsenal and Chelsea).

One of my favourite recurring footy jokes, this.

When Shrewsbury drew Man United at home in the cup a few years ago I was living in London, and I made a Facebook status (as was the style at the time) saying “Need to book my train tickets soon for the match before all the Man United fans drive the price up.” Which was strongly insinuating that all Man United fans live in London rather than Manchester hahaha.

Man United looking at Ighalo and Slimani is superb

@pervo did you know Countdown is being incorporated into stupid player announcement videos now? (sure we’ll have nicked this idea from someone)

This, to an extent. Given how tight loads of the games have been (don’t man city still have a better GD?), it’s genuinely weird that we’ve not dropped at least some points since drawing with United.

It’s like one of those Fergie seasons where they’d grind out 1-0s with the winner coming from Rooney shinning one into Phil Jones’ face, except it’s been like that every game.

Think that’s where a lot of the analysis that comes across as bitterness (which undoubtedly plays a part) comes from.

Like they will end the season as the best English team ever, but their key qualities are the ability to absorb pressure without conceding, and being absolutely clinical with creating and taking chances.

They don’t control games and look as good every second as city have done for the last couple of years, so they’re harder to point at and say ‘look there is the best team’ but over the season that efficiency and sturdiness tells.

The city game at anfield this season is a prime example. Like half an hour in city had dictated the pace and looked the dominant team, but were also 2-0 down
