General Football and Sport / Re: Arsenal: Top of the divers league

Kinda hope City win it. If they win, it’s just another trophy that no one will remember and no one will respect, that one day may get stripped from them. It will rile up more people in London and therefore cause more outrage about City’s cheating over the last decade.

If Arsenal win there will be a party all summer. The celebrations would be huge, especially with these Arsenal players. It will also be Arteta equalling Klopp’s PL which I cannot accept. People would actually respect their title. There will be more celebrations and acclaim in one night than City’s treble winners got in a year.

Also let’s not forget everyone calling to null and void the one year that we finally managed to keep the cheats at arms length.

So I’d rather City win another meaningless trophy.

By no means a dig at you Clint because this is a common theme on this forum at the moment. That said...

I think it's pretty smalltime to have this mentality. As if Liverpool aren't a big enough club to cope when other teams also achieve impressive things. I've always thought it small time to witness the whole league root against us against City because they can't cope with the prospect of other teams succeeding if they can't (with a sense that City's success doesn't count) so I'm not going to turn into them now.

As for City, normally everyone wants the cheats to lose - there's an inbuilt sense of justice that makes us feel like that in loads of different contexts. Root against the cheats, always root against the cheats. Wanting the cheats to win is just so bizarre. They don't care how you feel about their win, they just want to win. By cheating. It's brilliant when cheats can't even win when they cheat. All football fans should want City to fail, whoever that means ends up succeeding.

This is cool. Is it an easier (relatively speaking obviously) position to learn than some others?

I think if city were a properly run club, more people will want us to win it, to knock them off their perch, like with united under fergie (they only cheated on the field unlike city). But because City have cheated their way to this position its easier for people to stomach them winning it again and again *because its the nearest thing to a void season where if my team doesnt win it no one credible wins it* . None of that will be reflected in the record books though, 4 in a row (and counting) including a treble, will go down as the greatest era of dominance in the history of English football.

Well people can rest easy because I wasn't successful.

Seriously hoping for Leverkusen v Atalanta.

So pur your money on Marseille v Roma and me pretending to be Irish all day.

Ornstein dropped in the Athletic Podcast a few days ago that Kudus has a release clause. Probably more than the £38m they paid for him but not near Paqueta's £80m release clause. I'd guess somewhere in the £60-65m range. Edwards a massive fan. I would be very surprised if we didn't revisit that this summer and test West Ham.

He's been at West Ham under Moyes' negativity but he's not done anything to suggest he's worth more than what West Ham paid for him.

Liverpool FC Forum / Re: Darwin Núñez (Darwin Gabriel Núñez Ribeiro)

The problem with Jota and Nunez regardless of how xG-savvy you can be is that you can see with your fucking eyes who has better technique and who can strike a ball more cleanly therefore is the far better finisher lol.
Yeah I agree completely. But Nunez also has obvious advantages over Jota, like being way stronger and faster.

I have found myself dreaming of a Frankenstein striker based off our current strikers, with Nunez physique, Diaz dribbling and Jota's finishing. That would be one hell of a player

I would be shocked if he's sold this summer anyway. He's got bags of potential, and maybe a new manager will help him.
Also, I dont think he will hit the post 11 times or whatever one more season

Salah seems to be on his way out and lots of rumours around Diaz, and I dont think we want too much change.

If the Spurs, Man City, West Ham and Arsenal decisions hadn't been called against us we'd be top of the table right now. I can't ever remember this much corruption against another team in this league.
