Premier League 2023/2024, why do irish people follow this farmers league

Jose was in the EPL pretty consistently throughout Klopps time and Peps. Between United, Spurs and Chelsea.

Would seem Jose enjoyed it much more when he only had to deal with Fergie, was a lot easier

Jose was finished after Fergie didnā€™t anoint him as his successor.

He still managed as many epl titles as klopp though in his second stint post 2013.

Klopp really needs to win a league with fans in the stadium to validate his credentials.

Me man is flapping around something awful here today. A little dog who goesnt know how to lift his leg.

Thatā€™s the long and short of it.

When you think of the squad Klopp inherited ā€¦ His first game

Mingolet
Clyne
Sakho
Skrtel
Moreno
Lucas
Lallana
Can
Coutinho
Origi
Milner

Bench:
Bogdan
Kolo Toure
Jerome Sinclair
Texiera
Randall

:rofl:

Hendo and Bobby lad must have been injured.

The sales of Sterling ,Suarez and Coutinho funded a great dream.

Youā€™d forget Kolo was there.

He was done by thenā€¦ A great guy tho.

Liverpool would be 7 points clear if Origi was still onboard.

Football without Origi means nothing.

Origi could do his beloved Liverpool a twist by knocking the rattled City when they see them.

Iā€™d love to see Klopp win the league to be honest, and it would test Pep to go off and rip it all up and go again.

Ferguson was getting turfed out of Europe by IFK Gothenburg, Galatasaray and Rotor Tractorgrad when he took his 76 point teams outside the weak EPL

Id say if Pep has a regret its not going all out for Rice after he lost Gundo. Rice locks down the away leg when they go ahead.

Musiala took the piss out of Rice last night

Did he smoke him?

Musiala is a serious talent and will do that to most guys with a free run at them up the middle of the pitch. He missed a 1v1 Kane put on a plate for him though.

On what basis? Pep beat Fergie comfortably in two (2) Champions League finals with no rebuttal. Kloppā€™s Dortmund beat a Real Madrid whoā€™d knocked out Fergieā€™s Man Utd en route to the 2013 Champions League final. Ferguson was genuinely steeped that he never had to deal with opponents obtaining 90+ points in a season.

Barcelona were juicing.

He won 13 titles. The only reasons teams accumulate high totals now is the standard is so poor generally in the league.

Could be true but we have no concrete evidence of that. We do have evidence that Pepā€™s team sent Man United home with tae in a mug twice. Two goal hammerings.

We also have evidence these two great premier league teams have managed two champions leagues between them. Along with a good host of humiliating exits.

ā€˜ā€˜Twas easy pip Jack Walkers Blackburn to a title or Arsene Wenger picking up bargains from France. Itā€™s a much different story against a middle-eastern state fuelled club as Fergie learned to his detriment in 2012. They were only in their infancy then too. A great manager no doubt, perhaps the best in history but itā€™s ludicrous to suggest that heā€™d oust Pepā€™s City before Christmas.

Fergie melted Joseā€™s head he quit his Chelsea job. Jose done it to pep.

Klopp and pep wouldnā€™t be able for it. Theyā€™ve it handed to them on a plate and they still canā€™t do it.
