Seen somewhere that some RS are claiming at least they will be European champions for another season.
Makes the fact that the last game they lost was to Athletico which booted them off that little perch.

sounds about right. I can see it now they might even have a open top bus anyway. And there will be a movie , Sky Sports will have a channel dedicated to them for a few months

Kopites defending Shankly's 'more important than life' quote and saying it was taken out of context "he merely meant to show how in the 50s and 60s when things were colourless and adventure-less for most working people it was their escape".

No he didn 't. He was a crank. He may have been a good footy manager, but only a crank could have come out with that statement - and only a swivel eyed Jonestown cult could have quoted it for years.

Bill Shankly died an Evertonian

The irony that has been missed in all this, ever since klippety came over he's banged the drum about a winter break. They finally caved in this season and brought in a winter break. If they hadn't have brought the winter break in, the title would already have been sewn up haha

Winter break has caused cancellations in city's games, and a bit of a dip from the RS in that watford game as well as the CWC forcing the RS to miss a couple of gameweeks. He's got nobody to blame but himself, should have kept his mouth shut.

His mouth has never been shut since he got those dental implants. I'm surprised given all their surrendering to all things commercial, that those meggies of his aren't carrying a sponsors name.

So by that rhetoric, we have held the title for a further 12 seasons. That would give us a total of 21 league championships, and they remain in our shadow. Of course, the difference between the 2 situations is we were not defeated in both legs of a game to be knocked out, so our claim would actually be a lot stronger than theirs. However if they want to play that game, hopefully the club do the same with the seasons where nobody won the league.
