I did it, I had a look on BlueLoon regarding the "hacked scouting system." One lad reckons we should be demoted to the Championship another wants it investigating by plod.
Look, we ran them close last year and have started well this season. Aside from a couple of exceptional seasons, generally spaced about 5-years apart, when we also fell short, we have not won much domestically. In fact, it's been decades since we've won more than a cup and even those have been pretty rare for a club of our historical stature.
All the theories, hand wringing, complaining, moaning and general head-falling-off is based on, well, pretty much nothing that says we'll actually win this year. We have a great recent history of narrowly missing out. Against them. Twice. We're the only club ever to be top at Christmas and not win it, a feat we managed 3 times!!
As a fan of Liverpool, I want us to win the league, I've been waiting since I was a young lad to see it again. I hope it's this year. Maybe it will be, maybe not, we'll see next May.
But between Man U, Man City, Spurs & Everton, you'd swear that we'd already won the bloody thing for the past 5 seasons and are sauntering to this years' again with our hands in our pockets, easy as you like. I just don't get where they go from here in terms of pure fume. The hatred, angst & bile is already quite amazing and we're still in October!! For a club that's famously managed not to make it over the line so many times, what's going to happen if we do? Does the world end or something? Calm down, lads, calm down! We're statistically more likely to screw it up again with margins as fine as they are, stop freaking out.
We're living in their heads. I just don't get that. I spend zero time thinking about those clubs if we're not playing them next and even then.... not much really.
It's all really quite bizarre to watch.
