I just find it completely and utterly bonkers how well they've done...

Still unbeaten after 20 games, conceded less than 10 goals whilst still scoring for fun, and this isn't even the best squad they've had in the Prem era...

It's actually astounding how well it's all come together for them in the last couple of months. Genuinely like some higher power has decided to take over.

A lot of their success so far this season has been down to the media. They've been telling us all how amazing they are from the beginning. The match between them and City at the beginning of October was billed as 'champions vs challengers', for goodness' sake. This has, bit by bit, come to affect the other teams psychologically. There's no logical reason they should be beating Arsenal, who are also a very good team, by this margin. Even we didn't collapse like this at Anfield.

It's very noticeable how different their form has been in European matches. Teams who are not subject to the non-stop narrative of the English media don't appear to be as intimidated. Clearly no one told Red Star Belgrade that Liverpool are unbeatable.

The thing is, this type of psychological advantage can turn around very quickly. It only takes a team to beat them and show that it can be done. That and the added pressure of the media now declaring them favourites could cause them to have the kind of downturn that City have had in the last few weeks. I just wish it would hurry up and happen.
 

that’s the difference, two soft penalties given for them, one soft one ignored for arsenal. can point to a plethora of similar occasions throughout the season which after a while start to really matter

Yep same here, the fans just make it unbearable the flag waving scarf swirling poet prancing knobheads do my absolute head in.

It won't just be the trophy parade where 1 million people invade the city (900k of them have no affinity to the club whatsoever) but it will go on for months and months and months and months and on TV and documentaries and my missus will remind me day after day hour after hour after hour.

Anyone who lives out of the city it will be bad, anyone who lives

There is no solace. It is what it is. I see it as also a massive crisis for Everton too. The club will be floored by this title win of theirs.

Best prepare for that too. We are heading into the abyss and there will be a lot of casualties on our side of things.

Only because of the blanket coverage sky does.
That two fa cup final loses to them done it for me and no doubt others.
We'll get over it .
Remember the rs gloating cos manure hadn't won a championship for how long?
And what is it IF they win it 29 -30 years?

I hate them as much as any one but you don't beat arsenal 5 1 with luck. Unless they have a major breakdown this team is going to win the the league :( they don't seem to make bad signings either which makes it even more annoying
