    United were a disgrace when they played City and we behaved like rabbits in the headlights. Much of this is hype and the bubble needs bursting, well done Liverpool.

    That does not mean they will continue and that level. I hate City and what they represent so anything that bursts the media love in is fine by me and I certainly wont fuel it.

    I thought Man Utd + Spurs in succession would
    put the brakes on, but the injuries meant that
    our DM spine was not present. I suspect that
    Wanyama will be fully fit by the rematch, and
    Dembele seems ok again (so we shall see) .

    I agree. Every team has a dodgy spell. And I hate them for the same reasons you do.
    But I’m not fuelling it, I’m just being realistic. They’d have to lose 4-5 games out of the next 15, and everyone else would have to win as many games, just to be level. It’s a lot to ask. For every decent side like Liverpool out there who have got a brilliant result, there’s still a lot of teams in those final 15 games that they’ll smash. As good as we are, I don’t fancy us against them. Therefore, Liverpool’s result against them is bloody awful for us.

    Mere blip on the way to a comfortable title triumph.

    Liverpool on the other hand will probably lose their next game. On their day they’re devastating but still not consistent enough to challenge.

    This was never going to be 0-0 was it?

    It is a lot ask but the game of football it's a wonderful unpredictable game and the two teams I really hate are City and Chelsea because they try to buy their way in and sadly in the modern world it works, but I will continue to want to see them beaten always and I will continue to believe they can lose this until they don't

    Not a great advert for PL defending by two of our best teams

    Incredible from Liverpool to get the result(just about). City have played much better than that though.

    Title race back on! :D

    I'm equally happy and disappointed after that.

    Money is more visible now but the most successful teams in most leagues and competitions usually have always been are the who spend the most.

    Of course KingHotspur it's a professional sport the difference is that their money is out of all proportion to their support. It's not even local it's just the super rich buying toys. I won't support that.

    City's situation is absurd.
    How can any club compete with the wealth of a rich nation?
    What's the answer though?
