This is the greatest (in terms of money) sporting team in the known intelligible universe. We took them to penalties. As good as Leicester winning the league.

You would think even an ignorant thick scouser could see that Rashford has bags of pace, the one thing Macheda didnt have!

Macheda lacked a lot of other things, not just pace. But yeah, Rashford is quick.
 
really nice name to use to post with is ''Zen''

Just feck off. feck it. Total fecking bullshit. City were fecking shite. I give up, I honestly do. I wish it had been done in the 90 rather than a meek fecking turnover on penalties. I just want to fecking end it all now. A load of bollocks. Goodnight.

Amazing what oil money does, eh Noel? feck the feck off you hairy palmed c*nt, bring on Wednesday and a fecking battering. No better revenge than to ruin their league chances. You can't buy history or class, even with all the oil money in the world. Jurgen is gonna ruin your fecking party. Blue moon... Blue shite more like. fecking do one. Come on Leicester.

Guardiola the glory seeking c*nt can do one too. Nothing like a ready made team with a fat cheque book. Bring on Wednesday, time to feck them up. Up yours City

Saw someone on Twitter boasting that City still haven't beaten Klopp in 90 minutes this season. The made up stats are the best. Didn't they have a league table for if shots that hit the woodwork were counted as goals?

That's all well and good, but the trophy count is Manuel 1-0 Klopp and when all is said done that's the only stat that matter. So they can cry at night with their worthless stats for comfort

I'll be honest, I'm not MAJORLY arsed by that. We're clearly playing too many games.

Hopefully now Sturridge and Origi are back we can start using Benteke for what he's actually good for, which is attaching ribbons to his head and having children dance around him.Andy Carroll must love playing us at the minute, not only do they win but he also gets to see the player who usurped him as quite possibly the worst signing in football history.

It's still gonna be their year, la...

Epic.
 
Macheda came in as a sub and won 4 points late on. Without those 4 points Liverpool would have won the league on goal difference. They'll NEVER forget him.
 
Aside from the spirited team performance and the flashes of individual brilliance, I'm gonna take another positive from the failure to win the cup - we have improved our chance of qualifying for next year EL through the table. Take it as you will, but now at least the 5th and 6th go in the EL.

I'm going to make the mistake of using logic with this nugget.

Is he saying that by missing out on guaranteed entry to the Europa League by winning the cup, they've increased their possible chances of getting entry to the Europa League?

"Well, when I was offered one of three winning lottery tickets, I said no. Now I have a better chance at the other 2."

The logic he's using (I think) is that with City winning the cup (assuming they finish in the top 4) there's now 2 league places that get awarded with Europa League football instead of the 1 and thus increasing their chances of making it Europa through their league placing. The logic is fairly sound in this case.

Yeah but if City hadn't won the cup Liverpool would already have qualified for the Europa League.

It's a hell of a way to see a silver lining.
 
The ''we have improved our chance'' element doesn't stand up to a lot of forensic analysis. When the other option was winning & proceeding automatically into the EL. But yes, it is a silver lining for them (and double the joy of them losing for everyone else). A loss is a win-win, you could say... (if you wanted to).

Oh yeah, I guess he's just trying to take comfort from he thought was an encouraging performance (I thought they were awful tbh).

He doesn't say "we have improved our chance". He says "we have improved our chance through the (league) table" which is true.

I'm making this up mainly for the purposes of a pointless argument but...

1) I quote correctly, he does say ''we have improved our chance'' - it's there in black & white, I put wotsits '' '' around 'his' words, not any others. Am I quoting out of context?

2) I believe not, because their own participation in the process was losing a game of football & not the administration of the qualifying League places for a different competition (at best a secondary object in the context of the sentence about 'we' doing something) so what we instinctively identify as the major object of the sentence should obviously be the Cup Final they just played in - so specifically the use of WE is clearly nonsense by the chap and worthy of a moderate amount of ridicule. That's how I read it when I guffawed loudly at the silly sausage clutching at straws like what he done, anyway.

I therefore conclude that any rational / obsessive dissection of this leads to us concluding that his, albeit successful, search for a silver lining was/is a bit daft. But probably not funny anymore, so thanks for that, :). I don't know why I bother at times, tbh.

Their chances of qualifying for the Europa League through the league increased when City made it to the final, not when they lost said final. So it's not really a positive from losing the final - that is the problem with this logic. They knew this before the final.

Not really, Theyre not the only midtable team that we can't seem to be able to beat sadly. They win nothing and always finish below us but Stoke Southampton and Man utd always seem to do us at their place and there's no reason why they shouldn't be happy about it. This is a huge weakness that we need to improve on. It's a cup final to them and we need to show the same effort as they do, no point just doing it in actual cup finals.

This is why it's so enjoyable seeing them suffer. Even the dipper posters called him out on this ridiculous post.

No sign of Cantona for weeks and weeks and now, all of a sudden, his keyboard has developed the gegenpressing version of diarrhoea.
Respect. Andrex don't do a roll of toilet tissue large enough to cope with this level of shit.
