Yeah but we’re not at home for that one. Apparently they are / Anfield South don’t you know.Chelsea,s last 3 home games have seen them concede, 4, 3 and 4. Anybody really think they will stop the RS in the cup final ?
You say that but the most team have a star. I mean we don't but we have spent half a billion just to avoid relegation.With the exception of those 2, the quality of the league is absolutely atrocious.
Every other team has been in turmoil; Chelsea, Arsenal, Spurs and Utd have all changed managers in the last 5 years; poor recruitment etc etc
Both City and the RS wouldn’t have been able to dominate so easily 15 years ago when the quality was a lot higher.
That’s the reason why
The truest ever spoken in this thread for a long time.You say that but the most team have a star. I mean we don't but we have spent half a billion just to avoid relegation.
Palace now, beats the palace of 15 years ago. Villa beat Villa of 15 years ago ect ect.
This man city and RS team are the peak sides in modern football history with the exception of maybe Barca and Real Madrid. It pains me to say it.
I would say that most of these "super sides" have medical teams supplementing within an inch of illegal. I very much doubt that Everton other sides have to intelligence in the club to do this.
I never thought that I would be entertained by anything to do with the RS. I didn't think the prayers for Van Dijk could be topped.
Sport science has improved significantly over the past two decades and with improved nutrition and habits, like I've mentioned previously, players are fitter.We'll likely never know whats going on but as a team they are achieving physical greatness that defies merely being the result of turmeric and fruit juices.
They're not the only club obviously.
Fair enough, I'm probably misremembering.It absolutely isn't, otherwise they would have just left. They wanted cake and eat it.
The elixir in question was pioneered by a former German swimmer whose claim to fame was smashing records late in his career while also helping other older swimmers achieve superb times. There have been questions asked about it but like so much of sports nutrition its shrouded in secrecy

Do Dara Torres' "secrets to success" hold up?
How can Olympian Dara Torres swim faster now, at age 41, than she did 20 years ago? In 2000, she hung up her goggles for about five years, and in 2006...slate.com

nah mate, it’s just jergens special hugs and ginger up the hoop that is firing up boring jimmy Milner at the age of 345 - nowt to do with his asthma or spezial brau!People can choose to go on about sports science or whatever they want to but there’s just no way that athletes in their late 30s are better than they were in their early 20s at sports that require speed strength etc.
They might gain a bit in experience, but when the sport is swimming or cycling then that’s not going to help much is it.
I could understand the likes of Milner playing sweeper or something, or the role that Barry did for us in front of the back 4 (which he was frankly too slow to do by the end and he was far more intelligent than Milner was) but when you see him still tearing round the pitch at the speed he is putting the distances in you do start to wonder. This was a bloke that started at 16 as well. He should be absolutely done by this point, not getting better.
They do say booze is the worst thing for an athlete, no wonder J Cole, Rooney Gascoigne Best, Wilshire, Carroll were done by the time they were in their late 20's.People can choose to go on about sports science or whatever they want to but there’s just no way that athletes in their late 30s are better than they were in their early 20s at sports that require speed strength etc.

Rush looks like Franck Ribery

No surprise to see famously teetotal footballers like Dzeko, Ronaldo, Miller and Zlatan going strong in their mid to late 30s in this modern era.
