Of course Liverpool losing would be funny, but the point is that Liverpool winning everything wouldn't be as wretched as City winning nothing would be funny. Liverpool losing the finals wouldn't emphasise the point as adequately.

I find it hard to feel anything positive or negative about City. It’s not even that funny when they lose. They’re just a soulless machine that I hope will stop Liverpool, a club worth hating, from winning things.

I don’t dislike City particularly. But they spend £100,000,000 on Grealish, then don’t play him in the big games. He then comes on and misses two decent chances to win the game.
I’m not sure why it’s so funny, it just is. :tooth:

I quite like Liverpool, don't see anything much wrong with them, certainly prefer they'd win over Chelsea and Real Madrid. Hideous clubs. Oh and Liverpool winning the quad will really piss off ManU fansof the second best club in english history.

Anyway, that "outrage culture" story about Three lions, as mentioned in the Scum, apparently like most of these stories total bS, but they don't care at this point.

With Klopp no longer leaving in 2024, Liverpool surely overtake United on titles before long and then leave them in the dust again. But I suppose these things can turn quite quickly.

Quite surprised you don't have a distaste for Liverpool given they'd have won everything in sight in your formative years though?

The puddle really struggled last season and only made the top four at all thanks to a late run, including the keeper heading a winner in the last seconds at West Brom.

Meh, in the end it was a different time, the hype and hysteria wasn't everywhere. Also football wasn't very trendy until Italia90, was easy to avoid, no football shirts about, and TBH the one match that got any hype, was the FA Cup, and Liverpool weren't good at that. I hated United, all this we suffered a lot whilst they were winning the most important match of the year in kudos and having the England captain playing for them, made me resent them massively.

The Press, who TBF to them were very much in thrall to the Munich Air Crash, and the glamour aftermath, were so "everybody wants United to win the League again", but to me as a callow yoof all that nostalgia seemed a 1000 years ago.

People will say, ah but it was similar with Liverpool recently, but it wasn't, there were plenty of voices, podcasts, social media, hey even fora saying the opposite.

Anyway, I like salah, Mane, Klopp, Trent, they really have a very few amount of shits.

This seems more likely than unlikely, but as you say things really can change rapidly. With stuff like this I always think back to how within 2-3 years of the Arsenal invincibles season almost all of the players in that side were gone, and things were never the same.

City are better equipped for sustained success, especially if they get Haaland. Deeper squad and more money. Liverpool basically need to nail every decision and get lucky with injuries just to compete.

Think their squad depth has been pretty good this year TBH, maybe better than Citehs, learnt the lessons of last year, has been able to rotate much more than once he could, but yeah they can't keep up with Citeh's spending, and Haaland would be a game-changer.

I can relate to that. I wanted Forest and Villa to win the league when that happened, but that was only for a bit of variety, and not from hating Liverpool. I think I liked the fact that Liverpool regularly won the European Cup, which previously, had only been a source of disappointment for English clubs. And it helped that Paisley was far more likeable than Ferguson.
