    This isn't a Leicester situation where they win with 81 points and the next team (us!) got 71.
    The main difference this year is only one side had a good league season, the other possible contenders were mediocre (us, Cith) or hilariously inept (Utd)
    No-one has pushed them this year, but that isn't their fault.
    Oh yes, they have still go the points of course, but it's far easier to do when no one is pushing to try and stop you.

    Exactly, I really don't get the whole Liverpool distain, apart from the fact they proved so many people wrong (not me obvs ) who thought they wouldn't go the distance

    I admit I underestimated them, and you didn’t so props for that. But I don’t think even you could have foreseen Salad’s form. And KSE is on to something, it would have been interesting to see how they’d have stood up to the pressure - they didn’t last year but maybe they learned from that.

    Liverpool’s title came about as a result of Salah having a God mode season and neither us or City being in the title race

    They really are nothing special. Their two best players are the wrong side of 30

    Predicting Liverpool would win the title on the strength of players like Gakpo, is a bit like predicting Argentina would win the World Cup back in 1986 because of Jorge Burruchaga.

    To be honest they aren’t really any better than they were last season where frankly they did well to finish 3rd (far above what their squad suggested they were capable of). And this season? Well it’s absolutely right that the Dutchman gave thanks to Jurgen Klopp. Probably should give thanks to Mikel Arteta and Guardiola as well

    I have disdain for any team that is above us in the league, I don’t play favourites

    With Liverpool, I’ve always resented how the pundit class have sucked them off. A lot of their fans seem to think they are back in the 1980s whenever they get a sniff of success.

    If we win the champions league this season it still won’t change my upset that we didn’t send them crying all the way back to their poorly maintained council houses. That resentment will last until we take the title, hopefully beating them in their own backyard in the process.
