EPL 19/20

Remember when Arsenal were a thing? Nailed on to finish top 4. Played nice football. Probably not in the title race, but still to be respected? Could always rely on them to finish in front of Spurs no matter how good Spurs were that year?
That seems a loooong time ago. An out of sorts City brushed them aside with disdain this morning.
Man U are the opposite of flat track bullies. Great against the top sides, dogshit against the bottom of the league.
Liverpool lead out to 10 points. If, and it's a big if, we beat Leicester on Boxing Day, then i will start to believe.
@KiwiPie yes the record over the past season and a half is unreal. It's still unfathomable that the league wasn't won last season, fuck City were good. And this year unbeaten, and having to do it with key players out reasonably regularly, proving he can build a squad as well. Signed on for another couple of years too.

@mariner4life Indeed - when he picked that team for Everton with the squad players and they ripped them apart, he has to be doing a lot of things right. You're at the point where just drawing with Leicester will be fine - yours to lose etc etc. I feel even Klopp knows that they have ridden their luck to this point - not to suggest they shouldn't be out in front but they have squeaked a few wins from unlikely positions. But a little like United in their pomp, they apply such pressure the whole game that even the stoutest defence tends to crack in the end - even if it takes until the final 10 minutes.
The Arse under Wenger used to romp to easy victories most of the time - it was their knack of going into slumps or losing to a crap team that used to hold them back. Now they just look clueless - great strikers but no clue how to get the ball to them in space. They used to have too many class midfielders to fit them all in - now it is Guendozy, Torreira and Xhaka plus some kids. Oh and Ozil who they should have cashed in a few years ago.

Liverpool travel to Leicester and win 0 - 4 to go 13 points clear with a game in hand.

Liverpool go to Leicester and put a fork in their title challenge, destroying them 4-0. They remain in 2nd, until City beat Wolves tonight.
Chelsea looked to have 4th in the bag, but they keep slipping back, and suddenly it's back on for the Champs league places
-
Wolves!! Massive weekend for Liverpool now
-
Don't know how City lost that after being two nil up, but that last goal for Wolves was lovely.

Wolves play great football. We only just squeaked past them at their place last week, and they have barely lost there this season
-
Liverpool now unbeaten in the league for a year. Gap is 13 points with a game in hand.
As another Liverpool supporting mate said this morning "if they lose it from here, they may as well shut the club down" and he's right. No one connected to the club would ever recover mentally from that.
Even if City were to do what they did last year, and win 18 of their last 19, Liverpool would still have to lose 6 of their last 18.
Surely...
-
fuck yes Man City! Smack Villa 6-1, then have a private party with a bunch of models flown in from Italy.
THAT is how you live as a ridiculously loaded sports star

What is the earliest a team has won the Premier League? Currently the mickey mousers can win it on the 4th of April if they keep winning(and the chasers keep winning)
I see they put Man U to the sword this morning.
I would like to see them lose one match please.

Yeah, I hope they drop a game too. Ideally arsenal somehow steal a win for maximum poetic value, although that's a long shot. I suspect it will depend on how they do in Europe. If they drop out early then all their energy will go on an unbeaten season, but I think Klopp would prioritise Europe over the unbeaten season, especially if they've already won it.

Gah!!! I can easily see them doing the treble.

Chris Wood with a goal at Old Trafford as Burnley wins there for the first time since 1962.
-
Two shots on target from a quarter of the possession leads to a two nil win. Great stuff.
-
Liverpool still winning for fun.
Are you Liverpool fans finally resigned to winning the Premiership yet? Or are you still being a bit weak in the head over it all?
