Big blow if Chelsea win this

 

[Alan]

Christ, City are a fucking mess defensively.

 

[Newbridge Wolf]

Damn it Chelsea looking quite good here. Strange these drinks breaks how they can effect the game.

I think it's showing a bit of gulf between managers who can really "see" the game from the bench and those who can't.

Nuno has talked about this sort of thing before; how he learned to read the game from the touchline because he spent so many days as an unused substitute.

Of course, Pep is no slouch himself. City still look dangerous, even down to ten men.

6 minutes of injury time

 

[jd1981]

Think Leicester are realistic in chasing down now Chelsea look to have to much quality to slip up.

 

[jd1981]

Great work BT clearly advised not to congregate in large groups have cameras outside Anfield filming people doing just that not the most responsible thing to do.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

After Bournemouth today its hardly a shock.

 

[Alan]

Gotta say, when Liverpool hired Klopp, I thought he'd improve the club, but not win a title at any point. Well done, him.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Absolutely. Congratulations to Klopp and Liverpool. Best team. Best manager. So nice to be getting closer to the conversation but they were unreal.

 

[Deano]

Their results were unreal. Don't think they were great to watch at points, they were better on the eye last season but they'll obviously take that trade off all day. Their fans are going to be insufferable now though.

 

[BillyDee]

What do you mean, "now"?

 

[Alan]

Their fans have been unbearable for ages. Maybe the only group of supporters who have had their interminable superiority infest every corner of their fandom in the US, too.

Klopp is such a likeable guy, though. Look at him, crying on Sky. He just comes off as so genuine.

 

[Newbridge Wolf]

Can anyone help me out, I'm unclear on how long ago Liverpool won the league. Asking for the entire nation as we apparently have some collective amnesia over this little known fact.

 

[jd1981]

Look Liverpool are country mile deserved champions without question and their fans deserve to revel in the glory, but the attitude of ending 30 years of hurt and patronising statements of you don’t know hard it’s been can do one. Since 1990 Liverpool have won 2 CL, 1 World champ, 1 UEFA cup 3 FA cups, 3 league cups 10 trophies basically 1 every 3 years hardly barren years of agony.

 

[Tony Towner]

None Liverpudlian Liverpool fans with no connection to the city or club are stains on the football supporting community, but no worse than the Utd ones who have won numerous titles over the last 30 years. I hate the support a big club mentality, when there are so many teams in everyone's locality I don't get it. Didn't as a kid, still don't now. I've seen Liverpool or Utd play live more times than 99% of them

Each to their own, but there’s a huge difference between authentic fans of a club by that I mean a genuine connection to the club you support ie locality, family etc and those who are fans of big clubs with zero connection yes they are fans of that club, but do they get the same pride that say I get when my club does well? Doubt it very much. Do they feel genuine anguish when their side fails? A bit yes but in comparison not even close.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

But what about those fans from Liverpool celebrating tonight? They are fans of their local club and they deserve it.

Yes that was my point they’ll have genuine connection to the club the point was about say Liverpool fans with zero connection.

I'll remember not to celebrate a Wolves goal ever again.
