I hope they lose the lot and enter April with back to back wins

Seriously though, Everton at home now seems like a really difficult game for them. Great how quickly these shit @#%&!s have fallen off.

You can bet your bottom dollar Sean Dyce will be drilling that defence all week

0-0 written all over it

1998 i don't know, we had about 7 first team players injured at one point, not just keane. I remember going into that game against Arsenal at Old Trafford with Gary Neville as centre half alonside henning berg, with ronny Johnsen and Michael Clegg in midfield.

Same. I’m 100% convinced cantona would have made the difference in 1995. Arsenal team in 1998 was outstanding and blitzed us at the end. The Blackburn team completely shit themselves and we just didn’t have enough to get over the line. IMO Blackburn are the only team to bottle a title race and still win it

It'll be wonderful if they get anything. Won't happen though, 4-0 to the wall pushers....

I’ve never bought into the ‘doping’ thing, but I might for turning if they show up next season and start pinging out 60 game seasons with 3 defeats and no less of intensity.

I’ve not read it myself, but am hearing an article in the Athletic mentions there are barely any interested parties in the race to buy Liverpool

Why buy the second biggest when you can buy the biggest?

The dream is the Glazers sell us and buy them. Then they really will have something to cry about.

We deserve something like that tbh. We’ve endured serious pain for the last decade through no fault of our own, we deserve reparation

Nothing less than Liverpool and City being run into the ground while we rise back to the top of the tree will do, imo, then the decade will have been worth it.

to be considered genuinely great you have to do it year after year, and set a standard that you don't drop below. Between 1992 and 2013 Manchester United never finished outside the top 3. And in that 21 year period we were either champions or runners up in all but 3 seasons.

That is why Sir Alex Ferguson is the greatest manager in football history and nobody will ever come close. That's why players like Rooney, Keane, Scholes, Ferdinand are all time greats because they did it year after year. Every season.

Jesus

When you live through it, it just feels normal but reading that now it sounds unbelievable that we were that good for so long

How is there even a discussion around greatest?

The ‘great’ arsenal teams never managed to retain a championship in that period either, yet we were winning double-doubles and trebles etc.

These @#%&!s have a couple of freak season when doped up to their eyeballs, one of which they only ended with a cup double ffs.

Klopp on thin ice. Failure in the CL could sound the death knell

What a lovely Monday.

Please be Gerrard

They'd lost an 8 point lead in April, that is known as bottling

Think you missed the point in light of today's news

And we lost 8 again after that. you can’t accuse a team of bottling a title race when they win their last six games of a victorious title race

True

Two teams bottled it, one of those teams won it
