It's happening. We better prepare for it now.
Liverpool will win the league | NARRATOR: They did not, in fact, win the league.
- Thread starter PoTMS
- Start date
Guess this is it folks. The record Sir Alex worked so hard to break and bring it to us is getting taken back from us again this year. They'll equal the record this season and have no doubt in my mind the 21 for them will follow soon.
We're about to destroy the last bits of Ferguson work at United that still stood firm since his retirement.
Oh well.

Congratulations Pool
Our best player is leaving. Looked what happened to City without De Bruyne. That said, Jota has to start and Nunez has to go to the bench.
He was out for much of one season and they still won the title.
Think they'll be chuffed they are only five points behind with a game in hand.
Bedwetters.
We have to root for City again, so Liverpool don't win it.
I truly hope INEOS change that at some point. The Glazers are an embarrassment.

They are the favourites obviously. If we can stay within 3 points of them when Salah gets back we have an outside shot.
Their midfield has been smart business.
The stars have have aligned for Klopp's team. City the only genuine challenger will likely drop more points in matches they are expected to win and struggle to hit 80 points this season.
I can't believe it but as of today I'm rooting for City to win it. Liverpool and their supporters have just been total scumbags recently. That dive by Jota today was the most blatant dive I have seen. The constant flooding of the Anfield pitch is positively third world in its sporting approach. And just the fact that the officials and the league are so clearly in Liverpool's corner.
Whereas Arsenal's first world sporting approach let to Rice slipping and conceding a penalty against West Ham.
£16 million for Endo, an unknown before his arrival who is doing a good job for them week in week out in their midfield. That’s called recruitment sadly lads.
City are currently priced at 1.75, Liverpool at 3.75.
Sounds about right to me - 70-30 in City's favour.

Two horse race - Liverpool and Manchester City.
None of this should be unexpected, the rest are miles adrift no matter how the league table looks at times.
They have some world class players - there are no other world class players anywhere else in the PL.

Aye, he was but they had more creativity spread around midfield at that time. This is his longest spell out of the team since and right now they really lack a cutting edge without him, the players who have come in don't have the quality and impact as Mahrez, Silva, Sane and Sterling etc had.
Got a bad feeling about it to be honest. Although Salah being away at AFCON could be huge. Fingers crossed for Egypt making the final.
Lads something bad has happened.. the thought of Liverpool winning the league no longer sickens me 
my hate of City and them winning 4 in a row is so strong that I actually hope Pool stuff those cheating cnuts

Clearly you've had something a bit strong over Christmas. Once it clears your system your thought process will fix itself.
On a serious note, the fact Liverpool and City are going at it again and we're not even in the conversation should sicken everyone connected to Man Utd. Yet it's obvious it doesn't.
Our coach is talking about a distant third as overperformance. Our club is briefing about how worried it is about losing Champions League money. Nobody is seriously promoting the idea that we might step up and actually stop Liverpool or City ourselves, not just this year but any year.
It's vomit inducing. I remember them few years that Barcelona and Atleti were vying for La Liga. Madrid moved heaven and earth to get ahead of them. Do we see that from loans FC? Free transfer United? We are pathetic.
AFCON ends on February 11 if Egypt makes the final, Salah will miss 4 PL games. Not enough to impact the league form
If he misses full 4 PL games it should have quite a large impact. But I'm not sure if Egypt makes it to the final this year
They won't win shit. They will bottle enough games by April to let Pep pass them by... again
Unless Aston Villa keep up their shit Which would be my preference to Pep winning another title for Abu Dhabi oil princes

2. Liverpool without Salah should be able to handle Burnley Bournemouth and Chelsea
Liverpool will win it.
City will recover from their treble hangover and probably win it next season.

They get Endo and we've got endomorphs.
But but he's a Bundesliga league player. Not good to get those. They're no good according to the caf.
It's fine, he didn't play for Dortmund. Didn't you know that the Bundesliga is so easy that every player looks good for Dortmund while actually he is shit? Except of course they are signed by City, than it will just be ignored
I'm starting to get worried now. They are not going away.
Nah, no Salah and Endo will ruin them. Mac Allister is not a good No.6. They will leak goals against Bournemouth...probably not Burnley though.
Once KDB and Haland are back, Man City will go the remainder of the season unbeaten.

They could play 9 men and still win against those lot
We look better with Mac Allister and Curtis Jones is playing his best. SoBoSly is out of form right now and once he gets going again our midfield will be solid enough to get the job done. It’s all about Jota, Diaz, Nunez, and Gakpo.
I think City will piss home if they don't get bored and drop more unnecessarily silly points. Liverpool's home form might see them close but they're not in the same class as City.
The last 2 games have confirmed for me that Arsenal don't have what it takes.

Even last season when people were handing Arsenal the title, City were still most likely to win it. Unless they're 15 points behind, I still wouldn't rule them out.
Pool needed to have a bigger lead. They got screwed by the Diaz Var decision and realistically should've won the Arsenal game if decisions went there way.. but they didn't. A 2 point lead is nothing. City won't drop many points with De Bruyne in there, who often produces chances out of nothing.
The only one slight plus is that City don't have quite the same attacking depth they once used to, with Mahrez and Gundogan being gone. Doku is good but not as impactful as Mahrez, ditto Kovacic for Gundogan. Alvarez Halaand, Doku, Silva and Grealish with a fit De Bruyne behind them still wins the league though.

58% for City to win and 30% for Liverpool now, with the bookies.
It's obviously close to a correct estimate but I feel that both City and Arsenal are somewhat underpriced now.
I would put Liverpool at 25% or so, maybe even as low as 20%. Most likely I'm wrong but the lines might be skewed from the sharps (the soft bookies follow blindly) because they underestimated Liverpool pre-season and would like to even out the bets with a lower overall margin as insurance to early bets on Liverpool.
Ferguson’s work and legacy was destroyed the moment the Glazers came on board. Liverpool’s title win will simply confirm that.
They won't win it. Midfield not good enough. One injury to any one of Alisson, Trent, VVD or Salah and they'll disintegrate. Stop being pathetic.
PGMOL FC will win it again unfortunately.
Howard Webb and his minions will see to it.
It's annoying for neutrals that was expecting fight to the wire.

SAF's legacy is cemented and won't ever be destroyed no matter what the Glazer's do or how many titles Pool will win. We are wasting what he built though in extraordinary fashion.
