I’m a big fan of Klopp since his Dortmund day’s. Always knew given time he would crack it at Anfield. Well done Jurgen and well done Liverpool. They shouldn't have won it last season, because Man City were better than them (just). A team who won the domestic treble. This season though, no denying how brilliant they have been. To have comeback after missing out like that is an incredible achievement. Testament to the players and the manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Horse Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 Can't stand em. Glad that if they had to win it, they've done so in the most muted of celebrations. Man City will win it again next year. Klopp is only nice when he's winning. He's a C U Next Tuesday nasty sociopath egomaniac when it's not going his way. He'll sod off again soon enough leaving them in the wilderness for another 30 years. *** em, *** em and thrice... *** em. By the way, I don't like Liverpool.

latemodelchild Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 Can't deny that they're a fantastic team this season and deserve the title, but still can't stand em. Growing up every glory hunting kid supported em. Hated their team pre prem days and have loved them not getting a title until now. Yep, I'm bitter and childish but I don't care, its football, I don't have to be rational. Will be avoiding as much of the celebrations as possible, the way they'll go on about it this will be the only title that ever meant anything. Ever. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Owls-Fan Posted June 26, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 26, 2020 Always annoys me when you see youngsters saying how they’ve waited so long for Liverpool to win the league, really? And when older folk say it’s been 30 years of hurt, really? Must have been really tough being a Liverpool fan, winning champions leagues, uefa cups, fa cups, league cups, challenging for the title or challenging for the top 4 pretty much every season since 1990. Imagine how hard supporting that team must have been. All those great players they’ve had to sit and watch on a cold Tuesday night in December. Praise the lord I chose to be a Wednesday fan 28 years ago hearing some of the harsh times Liverpool have had to go through in that time. My heart goes out to them it really does 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewookieisdown Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 In the alternate universe where we beat Hull, and go on to win the league for the first time since before my 88 year old father was born, celebrations are muted and restrained. Manly handshakes, perhaps a daring shoulder pat, and half a pint of best bitter before an early night. Pleased for a couple of old friends from the city, although equally I would have been amused on their accounts had it gone the other way: so it goes.. Pleased above all for myself with £75 at 7/4 safely home, and a bottle of 2015 Troplong Mondot already purchased. All that said, a team I admire more than like. They have taken a philosophy of football further than anyone else has done, and at present competing with that seems to be more of an arms race than inventing new approaches. When now you look at the 70s and 80s football it all seems so slow with so much space, but I am not sure it was a worse spectacle. An elegance has been lost. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo Bonvin Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 (edited) I might have missed them but I can't recall similar reactions from the media when Man City and Chelsea and Blackburn ended their own even longer waits to win the league again.

It was a huge story when Man U broke their drought in 1993. A shorter drought than Liverpool's. It was reported less hysterically, but sports reporting has grown more hysterical over time. In general, Liverpool winning the league seems to have made quite a few of our fans rather unhappy. I can't for a moment understand why, but it is quite funny.

Yes, Manchester City were better. Point I was trying to make is that the points total they amassed would most seasons have won them the title but as you say to bounce back like they have is a tremendous achievement. I hope they can put 100 points on the board? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't for a moment understand why, but it is quite funny. They're an excellent team. For the most part, a pretty likeable one too. The manager screams passive aggressive to me, but hes still great. The fans though... If they're plastic Scousers, then they have to over compensate for that fact, knowing they are a bit of a joke. If they are an actual scouser then theres the chip on shoulder/sense of self entitlement. The ridiculous media love in doesn't help them. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just hope the scousers don't go too overboard with the celebrations. They can do what they want and get away with it, nothing will be said or done about it because its Liverpool, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SallyCinnamon Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 I like Klopp but can’t stand Liverpool fans. I used to like them as a kid with Owen, Fowler, Hypia, Gerrard etc. But now can’t stand them. Find it brilliant they’re celebrating a League title and can’t be in the ground, have an open top parade or get hammered in pubs and bars. It’s fantastic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanharper Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 Brilliant team and fully deserved winners. The fans and the media love-in, though.... BBC football website has it's first 11 articles about them winning the league, and then another 2 further down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
