I've dreaded this moment for nearly 30 years. It's going to take Carragher thirty seconds to say the word "season". "Dis is by far da greatest seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaason in da history of football not just in dis here ****ry but in any ****ry in da world."
The reason it was relentless at times was because United were winning things year upon year. The momentum of any media coverage was always because of that. Had we won it as a one off after 30 years, you wouldn't have seen any of the things you describe. Which I guarantee you will be different when LFC do it. And we've also had the hate in equal measure. Whenever anyone rivalled United, the ABU media always wanted the other team to succeed. I have no ill-feeling (beyond the rivalry) for Liverpool winning the league this season. At times, including yesterday I've felt, you know what they're doing the business and if they do go on to win it then fair play to them. It's just the expectant bollox from the media (not even the fans which is to be expected and rightly so), but just the livpl biased footy media.
Yeah fair enough. I see things from the other coin and think it would be a pleasant change from what used to.
In fairness when united won it in 1993 after 26 years the ****fest was every bit as bad as what it will be like if pool win it this season. There were constant references to United being back where they belong, hoq could a club with their history go so long etc etc...and so became born a generation of ABUs!
And, Sky, The press and media will go overboard though, I don’t remember anyone going overboard when we won the league in 2013.
It'll be worse simply because ex-Liverpool players are crawling all over Sky and BT. Souness, Thompson, Redknapp, McManaman, Carragher. Yesterday the pundits for the Liverpool v Chelsea game were Souness, Redknapp, Carragher with Ashley Cole thrown in as a token Chav. Recently Carragher's even been commentating like he's in one of those fan booths that Sky used to have.
Probably because you’d won it several times in recent years beforehand. It’s really not difficult. Winning it against this City team (and likewise for City against this Pool team) would add to the achievement. Whoever finishes second will probably be the best second places side in the Prem era.
If you thought it was bad yesterday, Wait until they win it, It’s going to be a bad summer for United and Everton fans if it happens.
