ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC" part 3

RAWK taking City's latest title win well:

  • One of the many advantages they have is nobody hates them (or cares about them). They seem so inoffensive to everyone else. Other fans don't mind them. The Manc Mafia refs don't mind them (or support them). At least when everything went United's way plenty hated them, even if they terrified of Ferguson.

  • Even their arch rivals are happy to see them win things at our expense.

  • Utd fans feel the same as us, they hate City but say the same thing we do, that nothing they win matters as it's all bought with blood money and gaming the system.

  • Football is dead.

  • Basically, fans of proper clubs use the sports wash as snookers, hampering their own rivals when they can't do it themselves. All also know that any trophies the sports wash pick up are completely meaningless and severely tainted anyway. To me, all trophies picked up by these and Chelsea are invalid and the competitions null and void.

  • Yeah, cheats. Do one City.

  • Wonder how many title processions it'll take before journo's wake up to the damage this financially doped monstrosity is doing to the game. I'm not holding my breath obviously. They take all the things we love about football - the romance, the drama, the unpredictability, the competitiveness, and crush it beneath their wheels.

  • It’s city, no cares about them. Give Klopp £1 billion to spend and not have to worry about selling players for your net spend and imagine where the club would be.

  • It’s highly unlikely we will catch them now, even if we looked like doing it the officials clearly will not let it happen. So I hope they win by 20+ points to highlight what their cheating and the bent officials have done to the game.

  • City have no history, their support is [Poor language removed] and their fan base belongs in the EFL. City have bought their success over the years, they’ve not done it on merit or hard work. It’s like being a [Poor language removed] employee and sleeping your way to the top.

I sense a poem coming on.

12 points ahead of the Kopites.

Stick a fork in them, they're done.

Chelsea will do these tomorrow and I want Klopp to throw a tantrum and concede the title they were never even in.

Lol.

Not done yet. An RS win tomorrow puts them back to six points behind (I'm safely assuming they win their game in hand against Leeds). City have Chelsea next. A Chelsea win would make it an effective three-point gap. These scenarios aren't the likeliest outcomes but they're not beyond the realms of possibility. Really though, a Chelsea win tomorrow and City then beating Chelsea would likely mean City would need to lose six or seven of the last 16 games to be caught. That does then seem almost unassailable.

12 points behind City and they have a first team that's strecthed to breaking point. Soon there'll be enough postponed games to make it 2 games in a week every week if the various cups are counted in...Liverpool cant do that. They cant even keep up right now when they're regulalry getting their best XI out.

It's done.

Over.

I always tend to assume the jammiest possible scenario will happen when that lot are involved. Winning back to back against Brentford and Arsenal was huge for City though.

Whenever there’s a chase on it’s always interesting to look at game to game and a gap but it’s when you look at the form required to overhaul a gap that it starts to look difficult.

Liverpool have a 6 point real gap behind City. They have 19 games left to play. Let’s say they hit absolutely unbelievable form and only dropped 6 points (17 w 2 L, or 16 w, 3 draws) in this 19 games. That would mean City would have to drop 12 points (possibly 13 depending on goal difference) in the 17 games they have left. That’s losing 4 games. It’s not impossible but as each game passes the pathway for Liverpool to win this becomes narrower and narrower. A Chelsea win or draw tomorrow obviously just makes it even harder.

It’s not over yet, but it’s looking difficult for them which if nothing else has shut their moronic fans up for a while.

I wish I had your confidence :)

In all fairness, City's wins at Brentford and Arsenal were the sign of a title-winning team. In neither game were we anywhere near our best but we toughed it out, rode our luck and seized our opportunity. Those type of wins sap the life out of your rivals much more than the hammering when you're 3-0 up after 30 minutes. There were some leggy performances but it was vital to get to this point unscathed. There are now two weeks to recharge and refresh things.

I just feel that nothing is certain in Covid football and won't yet count my chickens. I think you are generally right about how it's heading but I'm stopping short of saying it's over :)

31 years = 30 fails.

Place me in the optimistic column.

Liverpool are the Cliff Barnes of the elite English game.
