We criticise English football, but it's can be really special.
Can hardly say they've blown it, not much you can do when the other team win what looks like going to be their last 14 games in a row.
Still shat a lead at the top.
Built a team honestly. %^*& sake, at least Manchester City aren't a bunch of khunts who always seem to be cheated.
Lol You are hurting.They're by far the richest club in the league. They should have walked this title but instead they look like staggering over the line. It’s like applauding Usain Bolt for edging out John Prescott.
Credit should go to Liverpool for pushing them until the final day whilst still playing CL football - a competition Man City are yet to buy.
I was under the impression that if you leave the field of play to celebrate a goal then it was an automatic booking, maybe I'm wrong but many players have been booked for doing so.
Lol You are hurting.
Liverpool will always be the bigger club.
I genuinely couldn't give a shit. I've hated Liverpool all my days so want to see them fail.
If Liverpool win the league then fair enough, I won't lose any sleep over it.
There are a lot of genuine football fans who don’t necessarily have a dog in the fight who understandably find the Man City model distasteful.
probably say I find the PSG one worse, at least the Man City owners are trying to create something with feeder clubs/youth in the future. PSG is simply "we want to win things and we will create "sponsors" to make sure we can get through rules"
Man City probably do the same with FFP but at least football wise they are trying to do things properly
Man City fined £49m by UEFA, 5 years ago and are 6nder investigation again.
Whilst clubs like Spurs, Liverpool etc are trying to win clean.
It reeks.
I’d on balance accept you comment on Spurs but Liverpool? I very much doubt it mate.

I appreciate that, however Liverpool having the lead they had, and then drawing so many, means for me they have indeed blown their own chance.
Yes you are correct mate.Correct me if I am wrong but did Liverpool not get done recently for trying to poach youth players from other teams in England?
They certainly were not trying to win clean by doing that.
Agree with this.
They shipped 8 points in little over a month from the end of January until the start of March.
That’s what’s done for them.
13 straight wins. Wow, how’s that for form.
Lol, what are you basing this weird assumption on?Come on Brighton. All true football fans are behind you.
Yes, it is true that Manchester City have a huge financial advantage but they are a great team to watch.
Your having a laugh here mate?no?Not really, he scored a sensational goal and if the rules were applied he should've received a 2nd yellow for leaving the field of play.
When Liverpool nearly won the league under Brenda, they won 12 and drew 1 of their last 14 games, only losing to Chelsea.Unbelievable consistency from them and Liverpool. Just on another level to anyone else in the league.
Liverpool will always be the bigger club.
Just as meaningless as saying Man U are bigger than Liverpool.
Not disputing your figures Virgil. I just said that I thought they were a great team to watch and would be surprised if you disputed that.They’ve spent £1.3 bn more than they’ve generated under amandour’s tenure and that’s just the monies that are visible.
Been following Liverpool all season only because of the tie with SG and was hopeful they could pull it off,still hopeful that Brighton can pull something off and Liverpool deal with Wolves and would love to see them win it on the last day,whatever happens it will be a great end to the season.
Their net spend on transfers is about £160m over the last 5 season.
Similar to West Ham and 20% less than Everton

Liverpool must be wondering what the f.uck they have to do to win the league, they will end with 97 points and 1 defeat yet will still be 2nd.
Tonight when they have genuine hope of City dropping points, they have to watch a centre half stroll up and rattle one in to the top corner from 30 yards, then the agony of a sitter from the Leicester sub late on.
It’s incredible they will end the season in 2nd but you can’t deny City, the best team always finishes top, no excuses.
What an anti climax that was last night , it’s been a decent season but as usual it peters out with a drab 1/0 home win for city and job done
Liverpool robbed for me as no way should Man City be winning 14 games in a row in that league farcical
Hopefully Liverpool claim the title next year they deserve it
They're going to be the first English club in history to win a domestic treble. Liverpool and Man United for decades had more riches than anyone else and nobody batted an eyelid. Now the tables are turned, everbody runs crying to EUFA asking them to do something about it to protect their own interests. mentally challenged style behaviour.Not really. It’s patently obvious Liverpool are a bigger club.
Man City’s success is purely down to being bought by an Arab. They haven’t had to work for it at all. He threw a dart at a map and it landed on Man City. On another day it could have been Everton, Aston Villa or Newcastle.
Given the money at their disposal compared to the rest of the league, winning the title should be a foregone conclusion every August. Their real test has been winning the CL, which they have continually failed to do.
Questions should be being asked of this failure, just as PSG are now having questions asked of them.
I’ve never been a particular fan of Liverpool and have had a soft spot for Man City since visiting Maine Road back when Kinkladze was their star man. Love Guardiola, his style and most of the players in that City team simply because they’re a joy to watch...
...but I confess I realised last night I was willing Leicester to take something from the game. Liverpool have done all the right things these past 2-3 years and have built a tremendous side. After 20 odd years, it would be nice to see the side that was the dominant force when I was young finally win the title again.
In almost any other season they’re the runaway winners, but this City team is just that fraction better. For all the hundreds of millions of additional net transfer fees they’ve paid, that’s an incredibly small margin.
Something of an exaggeration, I’d suggest. A history to rival anyone’s, and a fan base all but a few clubs can only dream of. Everton are a good sized, middle of the table club with some good moments in their history, but not comparable IMO.If it wasn't for their Boston billionaire owners, Liverpool would be another Everton.
