Mikus maybe not the some indicator of success but definitely the main one. As the Silverchair song says “ you say that money isn’t everything, well I’d like to see you live without it”.

Mikus definitely expected city to have it wrapped up long before this, the lads have done amazingly well to push them this far. It’s not like them winning is a surprise though is it, pretty much everyone predicted them to win it at the start of the season, we just made is closer than most expected. So close yet so far away, we could win 20-0 next game, have lost only 1 game & still not win. Great effort though all things considered. Great effort by spurs as well, I hope they get in & win the C/L.

Nil don’t get me wrong mate, I love LFC & will get back to see another game at Anfield. I absolutely love the history, I love the people (scousers are some of the nicest people I’ve met on my travels), I loved the city, I just felt I fit in there. I just can’t take sport seriously enough to get involved to much. Not just football either, I used to love rugby league & boxing but they’ve gone down the gurgler to me as well. I still coach some kids boxing but don’t like the way it’s gone at the top level. The best used to fight the best, now it’s all political & about who promotes who & what agency the fighters are with. Crazy stuff.

9 the thing is the start city have on everyone else, that’s why they’ll stay at the top. As I said world class internationals that would be starting at other clubs coming off the bench, all the rest are playing catch up. I built a bit of respect for Pep but lost it after his interview, you’d think Liverpool played against teams in the Scottish league the way he reckons we had it easy. He has it easier than any manager bringing top quality off the bench.
Anyway no point arguing about it, it won’t change. I’ll honestly laugh when city win it again next season, it doesn’t bother me at all but I don’t get people thinking they are all that & a bag of chips, they’re just richer than anyone else.

Adlab absolutely it’s the team with the money wins. The slight difference your mob has is you spent unprecedented money over numerous season in a row to basically buy the EPL. No one else had that luxury except Chelsea. It’s not like you built your squad over many seasons, you know strengthen where you need it, your mob just splashed the cash & no one else could compete.
Back in the day most players loved the clubs they played for, had pride in wearing the shirt & had a genuine passion for their clubs. Nowadays they don’t give a rats ringer, whoever pays the most is the dream move. Fact is Everyone else is playing catch up to your mob & you will win the EPL for the next few seasons. We spent huge money just to try keep up & won nothing. You have world class international players coming off the bench that would be starting in pretty much any other team. As I said I take it with a grain of salt, you can literally buy sports titles. I feel for the likes of Nil that get down about it, I watch games for entertainment. I didn’t watch many Liverpool games this season compared to last season because we were attacking everyone last season.
Must admit I love seeing manu wasting their money on average players, no complaints from me on that one.

Mak have to agree to disagree mate, look at Couts, they were talking about him being a Liverpool captain & legend, Barca come in & he’s gone. If FFP got ditched & Leicester got taken over by a oil baron offering insane money do you not think the top players would go there. As I said city were going nowhere, got a rich owner & all of a sudden players are making their “dream” move there.
I did see Peps interview, not surprisingly he left it till the title is all but guaranteed before starting talk like that, before that it was all respectful to us. How about Pep you try managing a team with a smaller budget than your rivals & you can’t buy whoever you want. We’ll never know cause he won’t do that.
Sean nothing you can do mate, great effort by our lads & cant ask for anything more, only losing 1 game will not happen again. Klopp saying we won’t spend much in the summer means we will only slip further behind the moneybags because they will spend. They will dominate for the immediate future so I think we all better get used to them winning the EPL, it’s the most predictable league in the world.

Woo up there GJ haha, a couple of my mates call me un-Australian for not watching test match cricket. AUS are pretty poo at cricket these days but when we had Warnie & “oh ah Glen Mcgrath” & were dominating the world I used to watch it a bit. One dayers are still my favorite, can construct an innings but still have to go reasonably quickly whereas 20/20 it’s close your eyes, swing the willow & hope for the best.

Nil sadly mate players are these days, I guarantee players wouldn’t come to Liverpool if we didn’t offer big money, just look at Alison & VVD, both got massive money. Look at city, 10 years ago they were going nowhere but as soon as the oil money was on offer they are all of a sudden the “dream move” for players. Sadly mate it’s just how it is these days & is why I take it with a grain of salt. Supporters are the only one’s that truly give a toss about their club. I’ll always support LFC but I certainly don’t get to caught up when we don’t win. I accept it for what it is.

Nil don’t invest so much of yourself in a sport buddy, it’s not worth it. Majority of players in football these days are mercenaries that care little for the club or it’s supporters. Say FFP got ruled illegal & rich oil baron took over Leicester & offered more money than anyone else, top players would then be calling Leicester their “dream move”. Take it for what it is mate, a bit of entertainment where you see some skill full people playing a game. At least your heading into some better weather, into the minus where I am & the water is bloody freezing so no surf ?.

Nine, mate I’d say most managers would like to have Jesus in their starting line up let alone being able to bring him off the bench haha.

Sean I think your right mate, we won’t get near this total again. I do think we will buy a player or 2 but so will city so no catching them again.
The big interest for me next season is spurs, IMO they have done amazingly well this season, esp after spending so little in comparison to the top 2 clubs & as has been mentioned if they give a bit of coin to Poch & buy a few quality players they could well be the ones pushing the moneybags. I hope they win the C/L this season & get a couple of top buys & make it an interesting EPL next season.
Good luck Chuckster.

Yeah Chuckster I’m with you, a few of my rugby league mates chop into me about football 0-0 draws yet they watch test match cricket for 5 pain staking days & they get a draw. Standard test match cricket over – Block, block, block, block, play & miss, block, Over. Yet another thrilling maiden.

Haha lads I’m more hope of a 1 night stand with Taylor Swift than Liverpool are of progressing in the C/L, hopefully they go out & have a massive crack like a lot of games last season but barca WILL score so just enjoy the atmosphere & have fun.
As us Scousers always say, Next season.

Chuckster all jokes aside your mob impress me more than any others, spent f all & still top 4 & a real shot at C/L final, very impressive.
Absolutely Liverpool have spend a hell of a lot of money yet are still not even in the ballpark when it comes to city. The difference is city (& Chelsea, yes 9 you’ll still deny money isn’t the major factor) both got sugar daddy’s that just had a never ending chequebook & said “buy what you need to win”. So they spent insane money over a few seasons & won competitions. As I said we have spent massive money but it certainly wasn’t just a never ending chequebook, it’s been a very gradual build up yet here we are still not winning anything. That’s what I meant Mak by saying so close yet so far away.
Basically chuckster you made my point, if you don’t invest massive money you don’t win anything. Sad but it’s what sport is these days ever more so than before & it’s why I don’t get overly invested in it any more.
Dogs are wrestles, got to go for a trot.

Sean I think you are right, for all the good Klopp has done at LFC it’s just bad luck who we are up against.
I know mine is an unpopular opinion but I think football is simply dominated by money, there is absolutely zero loyalty from players & fans are the only ones with any attachment to clubs.
I have bleated about city many times & whilst I do admit they weren’t dominant until Pep took over, the fact is if they didn’t have the money to simply outspend everyone they would not be so dominant. FFP stopped others just getting a sugar daddy as well & competing with their financial muscle so they had a massive head start by assembling the most expensive squad ever. Everyone else is playing catch up & they just have to add a couple of worldies to their already huge squad & they will stay ahead of the rest. As I said not many agree & that’s fine with me but nothing will change my views on this & I fully expect city to boringly win the EPL for the next couple of seasons at least. IMO they have bought titles but I suppose that’s what football is these days, just like most sports & is the reason I don’t really care to much about sports these days.
Anyhow back to the preparation for my winter hibernation.

Must say I thought we’d do a hell of a lot better than that. No doubt we have some top players in Mane, Salah etc but the likes of Messi & Suarez are just a level above & are truly world class match winners, they get the job done.
So no C/L & no EPL despite what I think most of us would consider a pretty good season, it seems weird.
Ultimately it’s another season of so close yet so far away in winning a major trophy. I suppose at the start of the season most predicted a city EPL title & either real or Barca for the C/L so it’s no real surprise.
The C/L has a lot of variables such as who you draw so it’s harder to predict but I’ll make a rough (obvious) prediction of another city EPL next season. Yeah I know Liverpool only need x,y or z to get over the line but they will strengthen & they are already ahead of everyone so another title for the moneybags next season.
Enjoy summer over there lads, it’s getting bloody cold here where I am & I hate it. Cheerio.
