Like any normal human being with a sense of right and wrong I hate Liverpool. I hate their fans and this victim mentality they bring to everything, airbrushing the many, MANY scumbaggy and downright atrocious things they do from their history whilst simultaneously screeching about justice. Peddling left wing values whilst being run by an American hedge fund. Giving it the poor mouth whilst loading the team up with record signings. Etc. Etc
BUT, I must say, whilst I sipped on my fourth pint of Sam Adams summer ale in Phebe’s, NYC and watched both games on the excellent double TV setup, it dawned on me that I actually wanted Liverpool to win the title. As much as they are cunts and, by God, they are, they are where they are on merit. They are well run, they play an unreal brand of football, have some genuinely exciting players and have the best manager on earth. I mean, look at the points totals. Look at all they’ve won this year. They’d have the league title won in April most years.
By contrast, Man City are a championship club who would be doing well to match Crystal Palace had some oil zillionaire decided to throw his money at an NFL team instead. They are soulless (Christ I’m actually sounding like a Liverpool cunt here),reducing football to a financial equation, copying what worked for an actual great club in Barcelona and enhancing it with a blank cheque.
When Klopp eventually leaves , or runs out of steam, the Premier League will be reduced to a money fight between City and their even richer foes in Saudi FC.
So it was fine when Barcelona, Real Madrid and Man United spend millions and distorded the market but any other club with some ambition can’t do the same? I doubt Liverpool and Chelsea’s American owners are squeaky clean. Real Madrid are bankrolled by the Spanish state, Barcelona went bust, some examples.
I’d agree with most of that but still wanted Citeh to win it came to it even as a villa fan. I think the fact their fanbase is all in Manchester means they’re not in your face as much
