LFC move on to Madrid. Win there and it is a glorious season.

Hasn’t Klopp lost something like 7 finals on the bounce?

Yep. Rotten statistic.

Last time we had a blert in goal.

6. He won the first. He'll win this one though.

How many of the 7 did he go in managing the favourite. I'm thinking can't be many.

[Wooderson]

Hopefully LFC are focused. I’ve no idea what Poch was on about in his Friday presser. 

 

Wolves fans cheering each City goal today was a bit mad. Quare bunch.

[Homer]

Not sure who the three week wait will favour - Spurs probablt. Give them a chance to regroup. Weird they have to wait so long - last year it was the weekend before.

[Gnomicide]

Liverpool have generally struggled when they've taken a break though they looked knackered today. Both teams could be a little rusty after 3 weeks without a competitive game. 

[Wooderson]

LFC haven’t lead in a European Cup final since 1984.

Good performance from us yesterday, Derby didn't show up. 

I hope Leeds get promoted. Of the 4 options they are the most interesting in my view.

No friendlys / foreign games coming up?

Will utd sack ole over the summer? I think Everton or wolves have more of a chance of top 4 than utd at the moment...

I think man u have a reasonable chance at top 4 next season. Assuming hazard leaves and Chelsea have their transfer ban upheld they'll really struggle on the league. Even with OGS losing the new manager bounce they can't be as flat as under moani. The question is whether they make the right signings, but they should still finish top 5.

Wolves will be fighting relegation or just above it if they give the europa league any effort.

Yeah, I hope it doesn't happen but that 7th spot is an absolute car crash waiting to happen for any club that aren't used to European football. I feel like they will be slightly better prepared than Burnley were but if they finish mid table next season and not be in a relegation fight it'll be a success for them

I don't. A pretty similar man utd squad finished 2nd only a year ago and they will probably pump plenty of money in.

[Fred Zepplin]

Top 2 will be city and Liverpool again, hopefully the other way around next time. I think Tottenham will strengthen so should get third but then forth could be anyones. As much as Arsenal look dreadful sometimes with Lacazette and Aubameyang they will always score goals. Man united will get better and they have the money to go and spend £300 mil, depends if they spend it wisely. Chelsea could be in trouble if Hazard does go. Be interesting to see if the transfer band is upheld if Hazard will leave, if that happens they will be in trouble would be nice to se another team get into the top 6. Everton, Leicester and Wolves have there moments but with Wolves in Europe they will probably struggle to have the same sort of season again

Great result for City, we handled the pressure when it counted. Liverpool didn't

 

It's a season of 38 games, where City got the most points. If you want to say Liverpool bottled it in January, City bottled it - and worse - in December.

3rd highest points total ever.

I read a thing yesterday where someone had gone back in the league for 120 years and done the conversion to 3 points for a win to then work out the winning points total with 3 points for win.

Even with more games in a season there's only one more team that gets more points than Liverpool in that 120 years (Preston, can't remember the year).

City got more last year and this year.

i have noticed something, city fans everywhere not celebrating winning, but celebrating Liverpool not winning more, sad sad team and fans

 

just win with some class, I know its difficult, all I see online is Liverpool fans congratulating city and saying well was not our year.

 

what happened to city fans? they think they now have the divine right to win everything and nobody is allowed to challenge them.

Thought I liked them but after what I have seen, they do not know how to win with class. you would of thought where they had come from and the lows they have had, they wouldn't be such man utd fans about it all. Turned into the thing they hate the most

Fuck the Liverpool fans, they are horrible ferel scum. There is a reason they are despised and no one wanted them to win the league. The pro Liverpool media love in has been absolutely nauseating all season. When punch come to shove, the best team in the country won the league.

except everywhere I've read the vast majority would have preferred Liverpool as winners. Only on bluemoon and in Manc does your version exist.

How are the Champion's League final preparations going for City, btw? ?

yep.

And the second best team was better than most Prem winning teams, winning the golden boot - twice, the golden gloves, best player, best to watch, and setting records left right and centre.

It was a fantastic season for two exceptional teams.

One will disappear back to obscurity when the despot and his money does. The other won't.
