It's sad that once proud fans are now trying to pretend to be happy with 2nd place. I don’t think any Liverpool fan is happy with finishing 2nd. We are all however, incredibly proud of how the team have performed this year against an immense Man City side. Massive difference. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidM Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 14 games straight to finish a season is amazing . Incredible . Pushed right to the wire by Liverpool , who were denied ultimately by drawing at Goodison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerrumonside ref Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 13 hours ago, Niels said: I really enjoyed the game today and the season. It was amazing how both teams kept winning. I think Manchester City won it because they realised first that every game, even tough away ones, had to be won. Liverpool seemed to settle for draws at Everton and Man Utd which at the time seemed sensible. However, incredibly, those were the last points dropped. Commisserations to Gerromonside ref who is always nice to me here. Congratulations to Manchester City on winning the league. I’m not sure I agree that it was won and lost against Everton and Manchester United, as we took 8 points out of 12 against those teams. If anything, the decisive games were the head to head matches with Manchester City. To be honest in a season where you accomplish a points total of 97, it is very hard to say that more could have been done with the squad that Liverpool have which I think is why Anfield gave them such a great ovation yesterday at the end. Onwards now to the Champions League final. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I get that, but the pathetic bit is wanting your own team to lose just to hinder another team. There is never an excuse for that. Ever.

17 stone giant Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Credit to Man City and Liverpool - they have both been immense in the league this season. The last day was a bit dull though, because City were comfortable and there wasn't any relegation issues to be decided. I much prefer it when there is drama at both ends of the table. I'm already excited about seeing how teams strengthen over the summer, and whether City and Liverpool will be quite so dominant next season. Any early rumours about any big name players who might be joining the Premier League for next season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunItOffAfi Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 A lot has been said about City's amazing 14 wins on the bounce at the end of the season (another record) but what is truly phenomenal is that, although they gained 44 points from the first half of the season (19 games), not bad, they've picked up 54 points out of a possible 57 in the second half, hardly believable! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember this happening no. It is very unusual in Europe. The only one I can think of was Galatasaray who finished second in the Turkish league in 1986 without losing a game. There may be occasions in smaller leagues where there are only 2 top clubs but I cant think of any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
