    Er no, you were the one comparing Newcastle in '96 (presumably?), with Liverpool this season. There just is no comparison. <confused>

    As long as you see it as a win to be given a title you haven’t won rather than earning it that’s cool bro.

    Agreed ... because the season was able to complete ... but who could have predicted that Newcastle would crumble so horribly? ... just proves the point, never take anything for granted in football eh? <cheers>

    Nobody could have predicted that Newcastle could have crumbled so horribly - if they'd have had a 25 point league with nine games left. And they wouldn't have.

    It’s ok, no-one minds letting you have the “we almost won the title but didn’t quite because there were still 92 games left” title.

    It's okay, we don't mind if you keep pretending that we didn't ****ing crucify the rest of the league and it needed a pandemic to save your humiliation. :emoticon-0143-smirk

    You did well over 29 games. Not quite well enough to legitimately win a title but still you did well.

    You will. For years to come fans of other clubs will take the piss out of the “best over 29 games” trophy. And you’ll have to live with that burden. Knowing you almost had a team good enough to win a title.

    We know. We knew before you.

    I've said from #dayone I'm not #worried about the title because there's no way Liverpool aren't getting it anyway. Multi-billion pound industries don't undermine their product for the sake of bantz.

    Same discussion with @haslam yesterday, I'm discussing the future of the PL with the only bias that I'm fine watching games on streams because I do anyway, not because I see it as the only way LFC's achievements are recognised.

    And as we keep saying but you keep ignoring; the coronavirus isn't disappearing within 3 months. There is no next season until this one finishes; morally, financially, and logistically.

    Yeah the head of European leagues at UEFA already said he’d rather this season gets cancelled than next season gets ****ed up. Keep up.

    LFC fans are the most unbiased because we've already won everything we can. We're getting the PL trophy. We're getting the prize money for first place. We're getting the CL next season (if it's played). We're not getting the FA Cup. We're not getting this season's CL. We have nothing to gain or lose.

    ABLs have jumped on the coronavirus as a chance to somehow escape having to accept LFC winning the league through the desperate and disgusting claim for voiding.

    28/29 games of the PL took place. There is no argument to pretend they didn't no matter what comes next. And what comes next is either football behind closed doors or no football at all for years. That's your only choice (and your choice is only to watch or not).
