Been some unbelievable football games in the last few weeks this being another to add to the list. Harry Wilson although a bit lightweight certainly has something be interesting whether Liverpool keep him next year or let him go out again.

Heard lots of good things about Wilson; tough ask to get into the Liverpool team/squad currently though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

17 stone giant Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Domestic treble. Well done City. Tough on Watford, but City would have destroyed most teams outside of the top 6 playing like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyXIII Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Dead chuffed for City. What a trophy haul! I did feel sorry for Watford, though. If they had buried that first chance, it could have been different. Once they had to take the game to City, though, they were ruthlessly exposed. Sixty years ago, I started supporting City as a six year old. I switched my allegiance to RL about 40 years ago but have retained my love of City. For most of that time, we have lived in the shadow of both Liverpool and our now-quiet neighbours.
