    I hadn't clicked the link and when I read your response I did so assuming it was going to be his wife/girlfriend.

    I was disappointed.

    Respect yours too
    Totally understand and appreciate it
    Impossible to know what could have would have happened
    The fact is simple that Leicester were better equipped and unfairly so
    That is the long and short of it

    the amounts are actually immaterial
    And has already been pointed out Leicester knew what they were doing by others (Everton may or may not have done)
    So it was cheating

    I don’t begrudge Leicester their win - I think these matters should not be involved in sport but they are every bit as much as VAR and corrupt refs in Spain are. However it isn’t the fairy story they paint imho as they cheated.

    with regards to the sting - not a bit of it
    I have answered this statement from yourself before but no problems with anyone winning a title before us

    I have a problem or a sting it took us 27 years to win a top flight title but **** happens
    But not arsed about any of the teams who have won it before or after us

    just have a little b in my bonnet when a team/club who cheated get more acclaim than they deserve but that is just me and it really only effects me

    I also felt a bit for Spurs a bit that season as the teams they faced wanted to beat Spurs (Chelsea spring to mind)

    no one was actually arsed if Leicester won the title as they don’t really have any natural predators - in fact most teams were rooting for them

    so good on them for the win
    Shame it’s tainted as it forever will be imho

    Same thing affected Watford, players all deferred a part of their salary, Lord Ashcroft deferred the payments on the £10m he invested in the club in the back of the ITV deal, Watford cancelled plans to build a new stand, still reached reached semi-finals in the FA and League Cups and all the players received the money they were owed when we got our second promotion to the Premier League

    Lord Ashcroft further deferred his payments until the Pozzos bought the club and stabilised the finances, and he only took his £10m without any additional; interest, Those ****ing Tories are such greedy ****s

    <laugh> ... ask any Leicester fan if it's tainted ... a squad assembled for less than the price of your goalie and a 10th of the cost of Citeh's squad in the same year, somehow had an unfair financial advantage? - typical scouser logic - and doesn't Liverpool's sole EPL title win still have a Covid-19 asterisk against it?

    he never sorted his football intelligence out. But did boss the Liverpool midfield the other week. Like I said, football intelligence missing.

    Daft argument as I am not arguing

    Yes our last title win appears to have an asterisk against it, so what, you have a very strange way of attaching relevance to your arguments

    you are bringing things into this that have no relevance

    My club have an asterisk in many peoples eyes over our 19th title win (tried to google Liverpool winning just one but no joy lmao - I know you will btw)
    your club cheated in many peoples eyes
    So what
    What does it actually matter- why you bothered so much

    I have said I am just going to remind you your club cheated every time you boast in here about what most would call history now

    that was certainly the case with Liverpool fans when we had gone 7/8 seasons without winning the English league title

    your point against City squad laughable - you are bringing a club who are allegedly under investigation for 115 counts of cheating - though I can see why you would support them in this. To support your argument - ignoring LFC sold their biggest star at the time to balance the books

    Actually that might be where LFC have lost you come to think of it

    you have your opinion I have mine
    The two won’t meet as there is no common ground

    your Constant reference to EPL title is not so subtle but has been blown away by better men than me

    you are just as belligerent as I on this point which is why whenever you bang on I will retort and meanwhile the world turns with way more important **** than our petty pedantry over semantics lol <laugh>
