    Sure, good fun if you like NFL.
    No one likes the NFL. Not even the Americans, it’s all just about maintaining a facade of a sport that no one outside of the US wants to be bothered with (except the type of people in this country who suffer from chronic insomnia)

    Fair enough. You seemed to be they were just an ordinary side who were just getting lucky. I think they're a bit better than that.
    But they're not an exceptional side and they've certainly got lucky with injuries, at times with refereeing decisions and to be in a season where City fell off a cliff, Arsenal had a massive injury crisis and no-one else was stepping up and putting any pressure on. I'm not sure if Salah's form can be considered luck, he's an exceptional player. But him being at this level at his age is a bit unexpected and he's had no injury issues which at his age I guess is a bit lucky.

    In brief, first Covid Title and now this. Neither count

    Liverpool mix their game up and it serves them well. Sometimes they slow it down, sometimes they slow it down, sometimes they slow it down, slow it down, slow, slooooooooooow...

    Sorry, still recovering from our latest performance.

    Liverpool though, pass it around when they have to, lump it when they have to, they do weird shit like adapt their tactics based on who they are playing. Must be a scouser thing.

    Well, luck or not, nobody else can say they actually put up a challenge. So they've walked off with it. I wouldn't be complaining if we were up there. I'd be laughing my arse off at the =steaming pile of shit below us in the table. 13 points, will probably be a good 20 by the end. They performed, nobody else did - well none of the "big" clubs. Good seasons for Forest and Bournemouth, Fulham and a few others. Embarrassing for us and the other billionaires though.

    I think that's a bit harsh on us. While this season has felt like a slog from the start, we were hanging in there till recently and our injuries really piled up.
    And yes yes, we should have more squad depth, that's on us. But you take Salah and Gakpo out of their side for an extended period and they wouldn't be 13 points clear, they might not even be top.

    Just 6 points between 3rd and 10th. Half the league should consider the CL a possibility with the way it’s going.

    Not sure what that says about the current state of the league though. We’ve also been mostly rubbish yet have been second for ages too.

    Yeah! You need players and shit. Everyone else has them and we should have copied them.
