Very true.
And klopp was one of those who pushed hardest to have one in the EPL, comparing it to Germany if I'm not mistaken.

Lol.

Said it before but they have been going non stop for 2 years. They have some great players but they have some average ones playing way above their ability. It was sustainable while they could see that title in sight. I figured once they'd won it they'd more or less collapse (theres precedent with his Dortmund side) and would need to strengthen significantly to retain.

If this gets voided theres no way he gets that squad to win 35 games next season. He'll have to buy, and City will buy, we will buy, Chelsea will buy.

They'll be favourites next year but no way they'll repeat what they've done over the past 18 months.

Then there was the year when a virus evolved from a bat in China and infected half the world's population and they cancelled the season when we were two games away from clinching our first title in 30 years, which was disappointing."

'Bummer...so we were just pulling away at the top when they cancelled it?'

FA tell the Premier League that the domestic football season 'will NOT be completed' due to coronvirus crisis, with the European game 'braced for total shutdown until SEPTEMBER'... leaving title winners and relegation spots up in the air.

Not just that but the psychological letdown would surely be immense if they don't get the title this year.

The revenue hit to United may be enough to prompt the Glazers' to sell up.

Liverpool denied the title and the Saudi's buy us in time to spend eleventy billion on new players for next season.
