Premier League Matchday 21 (January 1-3)

- Start date
You sound surprised I'm rubbing that fact in being said rival fan.
Carry on dear pal, there's nothing you can say tonight that'll worry United fans!
If I were Liverpool I'd be worried Klopp will carry on his nearly man routine.
City should really have had a penalty and scored one or two more. They were fantastic tonight IMO. Think the performance itself will be the catalyst for them.
Wow! Game of the year! Just breathless and so fast-paced. City deserved the win in the end, but Liverpool looked always dangerous everytime they attacked.
Klopp moaning Kompany should be a red card.
Certainly wasn't last man with a covering defender.

City looked worryingly terrible at the back. Still favour Liverpool for now unfortunately.
Yeah, should have said bubbling a "few levels" below, but still amongst the best in Europe.
We had the double two years earlier, I’m happy with both. I fecking miss being relevantOf course!
The "invincibles" who won...1 trophy that season
Think I'd prefer a loss or 2 and a double.
Against Liverpool's best attack in league yes. Against most teams, it won't be a problem.
Pool won possession
Wanna slap Salah when I see him slapping the ground like he's in agony despite next to no contact on that challenge. It was a shite and dangerous tackle but barely touched him
Liverpool are only first place because of being gifted points against City and Spurs by refs. Ref also tried to give them a leg up by denying a clear penalty for City this game as well.
I just remember being in the home end at the Emirates last season, some goon fans saying "that was ages ago" to the Van Persie chants, yet then signing about the invincibles, and the Overmars United win! Even further back!
City were deserved winners. Didn't think they had that performance in them but they were really good. Made all our players shit their pants including Alisson. Thank feck we beat Everton and Arsenal.
We need that FA Cup 'break' so the first 11 can get a well earned break and refocus.

I think he's more surprised by the fact that you're rubbing in your own loss.
That's new.
Hopefully this is where the luck turns in a big way.
Why are Souness and Kelly pretending they just wanted to see a great game of football?
Think you're getting a bit carried away.
Are us Noggies stuck with Owen Hargreaves now?
Is he with Ingrid?
Makes the run in interesting. In an ideal world, spurs win it.
4 shots on target from 3 attempted?
Pool won possession

Seems like a clear thing with Pep vs Klopp given the Anfield game as well. He knows that vs Liverpool he can't give them counters so both times when we got ahead, we stopped pressing dropped back and made Liverpool come to break us down which is probably their biggest problem offensively.
Watching that goal line clearance again, it's still amazing that didn't go in!
How the second clearance didn't hit Salah racing in I don't know either.

4 on target, 3 off.
4 on, 3 off target.
Oh right. Don't mind me, I'm detoxing from cheering on City at the minute.
But what about FFP? Abu Dhabi bottled water sponsorship you say? Coming right up!
Nothing to do with luck in my opinion. A clear and concerted effort to manufacture a title race involving Liverpool is what I see it as. Henry Winter released an article saying 'every football fan wants Liverpool to win the title' just recently. Which is frankly ridiculous. This sentiment is widespread in the industry.
Refs have shown time and time again to be influenced by media, not to mention they've admitted themselves that they get pressured by what the media says as well.
Henry Winter dons his smoking jacket, delicately dips quill in ink, consults his muse, and addresses the nation.....valiant fight by eleven young Horatios in red, overrun by Barbarian hordes, a nation mourns, grown men who love beautiful football unashamedly weep in the streets etc etc.
he is on Radio 5live right now
Basically trying to paint them as the nation's favourite, like the Keegan Newcastle teams.
He surely knows football better than that, and how animosity towards Liverpool after their years of dominance still runs thick?
Throwing a bottle about, harassing the fourth official.
Nobody should ever be sent off after that unless its physical assault. The bar is set by Pep.

We enjoyed 26 years of SAF and 13 Premier Leagues.
Whilst you looked at photos of the PL trophy we enjoyed holding it aloft those thirteen times!
And it wasn't even their dominance, but more the way their fans and subsequent pundits handled that dominance. The smugness and sanctimony and all that "most knowledgable fans" shite, and the sheer hysteria whenever they heard a whisper of criticism.
