    This bloody title race is like a penalty shoot out that's gone into sudden death, and every penalty takes 90 minutes.

    Sky are wetting themselves about how many points the top two clubs have accumulated. It's not great for English football generally you stupid ****s!...:headbang:

    Well not if it happens three or four seasons running, but as an anomaly, it is an incredible title race.

    You don't think that Citeh in particular are going to dominate over the next few years?

    They are virtually in a league of their own and credit to the Scousers for making them fight this year.

    Yeah can see them hitting these sort of point totals regularly. Think all the other teams are a fair way behind them although Liverpool are obviously having a fantastic season. The other 4 are a distance off Liverpool aswell. I can see it being a glorified old SPL for a few years

    I still need a lot of convincing that Alexander-Arnold doesn't deserve a red card for his handball.

    In his actions he didn't choose that the ball would fall to Atsu, all he did was choose to block the initial chance.





    Edit: I'm happy to accept, if someone can confirm it to me, that that's how the law works. If that's the case, I'm saying the law's ridiculous and needs changing

    Sure they will. But that's nothing new. Liverpool dominated the 80's, Man Utd dominated the 90' and 00's.

    I don't like teams splashing the cash like City do, but the real reason behind their success, is Guardiola. City got that appointment right, while the likes of Utd, Arsenal, Chelsea have been getting theirs wrong. So fair play to them. It won't last forever, and I can see Liverpool matching them next season again.

    Guardiola won't be at City for much longer imo.

    Juventus would seem the obvious choice but he's never stuck around anywhere too long and I don't see why City would be any different.

    How many late winners have Liverpool had this season? Think it's their year and City will slip up.

    Yeah it wouldn't surprise me if he wanted to be the first man to win the league in all of those nations.

    That’s a strong possibility, but I will definitely be watching city tomorrow night .....as a neutral I would love it to go all the way to the wire.
