    There's no way you can win the league with that squad. So next year is your year. <laugh>

    Klopp's got form for taking title challengers to the brink of relegation the next season in fairness mate <ok>

    Tbh top4 was our realistic target for this season and it's going to plan so far. I'd be more than happy with 2nd.

    Although I'm certainly not ruling out winning it just yet.

    The league being won by fluke 2 years running, surely can't happen.

    Happy enough with 3rd <ok>


    Remember we weren't in the market for CL players in the summer window (same as you, but you had a ready made squad), so our aim is to be in a position to offer CL football, all good as it stands.

    It would take some doing. But if they won it then it wouldn't be a fluke. They would class it as the best title win in istoree.

    Ready made squad which finished 10th last season btw. You finished above us, so in theory you had the ready made squad.

    Fortunately they concede too many goals to win the thing, they've not had a bad patch either yet, and they will at some point

    Your team (rather embarrassingly) downed tools to get rid of Jose mate, the squad was always good enough to be challenging.

    Ours wasn't until Klopp changed the way we play and added a couple of players, still lacking a bit. I'm hoping to land Quincy Promes in Jan to help us push on.

    Fact is that we were 10th last season mate. Makes the job that Conte has done even better.

    Aye, they are ****e in the league this season. But they were never realistically going to defend that title. I'm not saying they should be immune from criticism, I'm just pointing out that it was the mark of a coward to write a thread predicting they would tumble back down the league.

    Personally I don't really feel any bitterness or the need to take the piss out of Leicester, they won the league last season which was an incredible feat, so they will always have that regardless of what happens this season. I guess that rankles a few fans of those clubs that haven't won it for a few decades though <whistle>
