Surely they’re joint favourites with City now?

Nope. LFC payout is still 40% higher than City’s.

City are favourites as they know how to win this league as do Chelsea, sadly. That's why I just cannot see us doing it.

FFS, Liverpool have the best front three in the league, an engaging and intelligent manager, some great young talent (Gomez, Robertson, Alexander-Arnold), who are living up to the hype, and their fans still can't back them to win. You'd say there was something in the water on Merseyside, except...

But I thought the general consensus was, this is our year as it is every year. As everyone on this thread will point out all too readily, we are deluded Scousers who will never win anything. It cannot work both ways. Once you have lived with misery for almost 30 years you tend to have a pessimistic outlook.

I didn't think you were a Scouser...

Misery? I spent a season going to places like Swindon and Colchester in League One.

Entitlement encapsulated...

Eh?

"Playing over and over again in his head, the minute when he forgot to hold the door open for Florentino Perez at his final round interview"

My point is that misery is clearly very relative when you're a Kopite... Your favourite sports team have been in the top flight for the whole of your life and they managed to win many league championships when you were a boy... Since then you've been in Europe most seasons, finished in the top six most seasons, had great players come through the side, etc...

You have nothing to be miserable about, Kopites are moany cunts who think they deserve to win the league every season... It makes me laugh out loud to see it play out in your posts, Mike... 😂😙

Seeing as two of them were also out of the top flight in recent memory it's not always that clear cut.

So 1989 is recent memory. I suppose it has to be if you want to remember Liverpool domestic success.

Funny to think that I saw Chelsea play away in the second division more than you have seen Liverpool play at home in the first.

Swindon and Colchester, you lucky devil. I spent seasons going to places like Halifax, Hereford and Scarborough.

Gives you a sense of perspective though, doesn't it?

hereford
you lucky devil, gods country

As does Wycombe Wanderers beating you at home, and your nearest derby match being Macclesfield.

Ah, the Ceefax match!

Misery? I spent a season going to places like Swindon and Colchester in League One.

Misery? I've spent seasons going to places like Stevenage and Colchester in League Two.

Misery?
I'll give you misery....

Going to Derby for home games is bad enough surely.

If you can find the way there.

I was thinking of one particular game I went to. (There aren't many)

They're all tinged with misery though tbh. 1-1 draw with Wednesday, nil nil with wolves,battering from Vila, defeat by Liverpool. Burnley I think we beat.

I do remember Shane Nicholson with happiness. And Gary micklewhite. I missed the stimac, ASA, glory years.

It's hard when you move stadium.

Just ask our resident Hammers on here.

Turning up late at Pride Park and missing Leicester's opener because I had to get my mum's car out of the garage and pick up @Chalfie and @cornelius_blackfoot half way down the M1, due to @BRM 's car breaking down. Then my mum getting a speeding ticket and a court summons after 6 weeks out of the country...

That wasn't a great visit to Derby.
