    Edited, as I see you were poking at someone else. Really needless shit from you Bingo. Sort your life out.

    Let’s not fall into bickering guys. We’ve had a wonderful season & the reward may arrive in a few weeks time. Mak, I agree that the title wasn’t lost, it was won. 14 wins in a row to end the season says it all. We know what we have to do to win it next season. Come on the Redmen Ynwa

    Bingo just a speculative opinion, nobody can say exactly what specific reason the league was lost, it was obviously more than one thing. It’s clear though we have had some dodgy results after the camp, so maybe in the future, Klopp and his sports science team will fine tune it up, there’s always room for improvement. But yes I am proud of the team and the boys, well done no shame in what they have achieved this season. More points than any of the great Ferguson teams and in a modern league where it is more competitive too.

    One of the United fans on Redcafe made a comment saying that LFC at least we won the non-sugar daddy league title 🙂 Our progression shows we will get there and win the real thing. Can city keep it up for three/four years? They undoubtedly have a great team but I feel there is a spiritual wave driving Liverpool towards winning it in the future and added to the intelligent and hard work the club is putting into making this happen.

    Man Citys success comes from buying minimum 50m players all the time. Once Pep loses interest I feel City will struggle. Whereas I really do think Klopp is settled and apart from managing Germany after Liverpool I think this will be his last club job.

    Over the course of 38 games, all teams will have their “could have / should have” moments where they believe they were robbed or unlucky or something and claim that it made the difference; but most of these moments will be based on referee decisions and hence become too subjective to become definitive. But the one objective and directly relevant moment came in the Man City/Liverpool game at the Etihad when John Stones hooked the ball out of the goal when it was 11mm from fully crossing the line. In the end, this 11mm was the difference to the destination of the PL Title. Such small margins…..

    I actually think it was the Leicester game. City had just lost, and we had the chance to go 7 points clear. We were so nervous that night, not just on the pitch but in the stands too. Dropped points there didn’t just hinder us, it helped spur City on. They knew from that point onwards that we didn’t have the stomach or experience to lead. We were incredible in the final 9 games, winning games we perhaps didn’t always deserve to, we found a way to win, time and time again. However we were always chasers, it’s a mantle we’re better at. Of course there are so many positives from this season but it’s hard to see them at the moment. The emotion of this race has floored me and feels like another lost opportunity. Is it destiny that every time we are good enough to win it, there’s another side who are just that bit better than us. I hope not, but I need some time off to recover after this.

    I think the champions league final is now key to our fortunes in the premiership next season. We’ve reached back to back finals just as City have won back to back titles. If we can win in Madrid the club will believe we can win the title next season having narrowly missed out this season. Winning against a talented & hungry Spurs side who will want it just as bad as us now has far much more importance for us domestically. We’ve have earn’t silverware this season, now we must take the opportunity & win it. If we do, I think the achievement will eclipse the 2005 CL run. Believe & Come on the Redmen Ynwa

    Sickening watching City players lifting the cup that should be ours and yes they’ve bought rather than earnt it. Harsh truth is that they have a better squad and are much less sensitive to injuries than us, and we had it pretty easy this season but next year it may be very different. Game over with one key injury, and with the likes of Origi and Lovren as back up its hardly surprising that the quality gap between LFC and City is still huge. City also looked far more convincing in play and always look like scoring whereas we seem to have to grind out results and don’t always look convincing. We would have won the EPL years ago if FSG werent obsessed with selling our very best players including to rivals and I don’t see anything other than a City win next season unless proper investment is made this summer and we don’t sell another key player.

    Can’t believe we had the two golden boots, golden gloves and player of the year. Lost once all season and still came second!

    We did not lose this league, we just came up against an amazing City side. Credit where due, but what finish from both sides.

    Bring home number 6 and can put this season title challenge behind us

    Congratulations City, that’s all you can really say after a season like that. Couldn’t have asked for any more from our boys.

    This will be a big learning experience, and I don’t see why they can’t go on and win it next year.
