I think about what it means to us as fans and it blows my mind to think Liverpool will be parading the one trophy that was so unobtainable on the 26th of May.

It must be mad for the players, particularly those who were there last time. It must be a relief that they finally get their moment

I think a lot of Liverpool fans feel the same way, the title in 2020 couldn't be celebrated properly. It felt a bit trivial to focus on football when COVID was raging but this time is different, Liverpool are the best team in the and there's no debate

One point away from the title and finally it will be in front of fans. Last time was amazing but this feels just a bit more special

On balance, PSG were the better side across the two legs but bitter pill to swallow

Brutal. No other words for it. Should be no hate for the takers, they stepped up and tried their best

Got the K-Dot tickets, time to run it back

Downgraded credit ratings will mean banks and other liquidity managers will be less likely to offer Man Utd low-interest loans or drawdown facilities. The lender may still offer the facility but the rates will not be as favourable

It has to be one of the Thunder, Spurs, Bucks and Nuggets. Those are the only four franchises who would turn a Doncic deal

Happy New Year all 🎉🎉

They have to trust in the future

Sleep and then hopefully wake up about 1:30ish for the game

If Brentford do Chelsea, this is the perfect weekend

They need at least a player in all three midfield positions and a top level fullback to replace Walker. Maybe Davies in the summer but it will not do anything to solve their solidity issue. Ederson should be top of the shopping list

Man City are going through the same thing that Liverpool had two years ago. The midfield engine has no more fuel and their defence is far too exposed to midfield runners. Rodri's brilliance made the system work, without him they can't cover the ground.

Man City are a mess, they can't defend with Walker in the side, it's too many lapses

"that's quite a moment, a staggering moment"

peter drury, come on, "amad moment" was right there

It's like two iterations of the Thunder ago. I know Cam played spot minutes in 2016-17 but Semaj was the backup point guard that year

Yes, easily

Fundamentally, I think Arsenal's greatest struggle is that this is the third year of a run in which they've played a 50-60 gruelling games a year.

You can't keep the energy or performance levels all the time, look at City this year or Liverpool in 2022-23.

Just watched Arsenal at Fulham and there’s absolutely no doubt they are one of the best teams in the world at pressing, squeezing teams, and dominating the ball. But I also think it’s totally fair to ask if they are overly reliant on set-pieces after watching a performance like today’s.

Arsenal dropping points this weekend is a dent to their title hopes. Indicative of their struggles really, they cannot seem to kill games off from open play

They've been awful away from home, the game management has been poor but you can't really write Leicester at the KP off

Ineos are the emperor's new clothes for the Glazers. Nothing has changed except that all of the criticism is now pointed at Ratcliffe

He went on gardening leave in Feb 2024 and was appointed by United in August. He would have had six months at home on gardening leave

Think the move has to be to bring Szobo and TAA on in the very least to try and freshen things up.

Honestly might be worth bringing Endo on as well to try and muscle Newcastle around a bit

Probably the worst half I've seen from Liverpool all season. Grav's being hunted every time he gets on the ball and Liverpool can't seem to handle the tenacity of Newcastle's midfield. Tonali, Guimaraes and Joelinton must be horrible to play against.
