Carragher and Neville agree on favourites for title after Liverpool win at Arsenal

Jurgen Klopp’s Reds were 11 points behind the defending champions at one stage, but following the victory at the Emirates now sit just one shy of Pep Guardiola’s side

www.independent.co.uk

Shouldn't get too excited, but incredible that Liverpool have managed cut it down to 1 point. Thought the race was over once City were 11 points in front. Of course, Pivotal game next month at the Ethihad though.

Hope ye **** it up...

You'll win the league or Europe this year though, I'd bet on Europe.

A quadruple would be out of this world. Still, I'd take the Champions League if they don't manage the league, but as Shanks used to say the league is the bread and butter to win. Also be good to tie the Manure on 20 ***les.

Choosing between City and Liverpool is like choosing between kissing your sister or riding your cousin.

Still better than Chelsea

I assume that kissing your sister gets the nod if your cousin is male.

So it's like being a Gloucester fan

I have to admit deriving a bit pleasure from the Red Mancs getting knocked out of the CL last week. But Atletico are very tough stubborn side and no shame getting knocked out by them; Liverpool having suffered the same fate 2 years ago.

Of course, issues of Manure not creating enough chances and who is going to take over In the summer if Pochettino reportedly returns to Spurs and Zidane takes over at PSG. Not all down to the manager though as we have seen with the last 4.

I read that United were turning their attentions to Tuchel but I assume Chelsea will get sold within a few weeks and he'll end up staying there. Conte could be an option if he leaves Spurs but United needs a complete rebuild starting with getting rid of all the soft players and divas. They also have too many players just who aren't good enough to win trophies (Fred, Wan Bissaka, McTominay, Lindelof, Bailly etc). They also need to have a proper football hierarchy in place like Liverpool and City have.

Not that I want Manure to improve. But yeh football success is cyclical.

Do Man U fans rate McGuire?

Do Man U fans rate McGuire?

He's clearly got something to his Game but I don't think he belongs in a back four of a team with a high line.

Leicester and England where he was either very deep or in a back five he did well. He is a liability in the current system.

Is this most stupid current football chant/celebration?

Wow no Italy again at the World Cup.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

SIUUUUUUUUUUUU

USA vs Mexico tonight. Probably the last ever qualifier between the two that will actually matter for World Cup. It's at Estadio Azteca and we're without are best players so we will have to bring out the goons to get a result.

Also Italy, it's an F1 and rugby country now.
