Yes, they are going to have a post-Klopp depression, perhaps more brutal than our post-SAF depression.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.

I'm out shopping. Turned off after the second goal. Now they're everywhere with their shirts and their scarves. Fun times.
There a very good team ATM but they’re a Cup team IMO. No way they’ll win a title but they have a great set up. Two key ingredients any player needs regardless of status is desire & passion. Trust me if you have them you can do anything. Henderson lifting the Champions league trophy just proves that.
They got 97 points this season.
At least you won't have to buy toilet paper, just take some of their scarves.
So what one season. Yet they still didn’t win & blew a healthy points lead.
Exactly, that's the part of the narrative that is being glossed over. They bottled the league and had they come up against a capable team last night they could very well have bottled that too. Fortunately for them, they played Spurs
They didn't win, but they pushed City all the way.
There is a legitimate argument to them being the best side in Europe right now.
What a shitty day
Of course there is, they just won the Champions League.
It's not because of that. If Spurs won the CL they would not be the best side in Europe.
Liverpool, City, Juventus and Barcelona all have legitimate claims to that title IMO. It comes down to personal preference at the end of the day
It's between them and City IMO, which is a horrible thought. Barca, Bayern, Madrid, Juve aren't as good right now. PSG are serial bottlers. Ajax have potential but still aren't quite there. Spurs may have knocked out City but again they aren't quite there. Can't think of any others.
Do people here think its inevitable they'll win the league next year? Name on the trophy?
Obviously Liverpool fans are cockahoop and think so now.

Nah VAR will massacre them
Think Ajax would have at least given them a good game and City would have beaten them last night.
Doubt they'll be getting 97 points again. But I also doubt City will get 98.
Reckon it'll be close again but not as close as this season. Something like 90-92 points for Liverpool and 94-96 for City. Liverpool benefitted from a lot of shite decisions this season so I doubt that'll be repeated, but they'll still get quite a lot of points since I can see major squad improvements this summer. Pep seems to do well at maintaining a semi constant points tally so he'll still have City be at least in the mid 90s, even if they lost Kompany and maybe Sane.
feck the dippers
Berba are you seriously saying a team with one league loss all season bottled it? Please explain 
They were 7 points clearBerba are you seriously saying a team with one league loss all season bottled it? Please explain
No the cringe was with us too. Its like Nicky Butt being captain and lifting your 3rd CL. You love him, as we do Hendo, but not in that position.
"kicking them out" was not really the right term to use but I don't see why they would sell in the immediate future unless someone like the Saudis suddenly want to take over.
But that's whole another can of worms...
Maybe It’s a weird feeling but the last decade shows us if we can gather a good functioning young team you can take relatively easy serious attempts in Champions League. We saw Barcelona had 4 in 10 years and Real had 4 in 5 years. Now these Scouser were back to back finalist and won 1 of them. The point is i feels now the number of serious contenders in Europe is fewer than ever.
Now Real are back to the rebuilding phase and Barca will have difficult time ahead. Bayern and Juventus are coming to the end of their cycle and PSG is the rich man’ Tottenham. We need to invest fast to be back asap or Pool and City will be the new Real-Barca in Europe for this decade.

Klopp 100% refused to give up on the CL while only losing one league game all season and finishing on 97 points. Pep completely and wilfully threw away (Delph, Mahrez, WTF?) a piss easy CL trophy to ensure finishing on 98 points.They were 7 points clear
Who bottled what?
The thing is - it's not just the patience. Klopp had a certain style of playing that he was able to buy the players for. Of all our managers only LVG had a clear philosophy that worked sometimes but ultimately was too outdated. Jose had an approach but was never a long term project. And Ole... Jury is still out.
feck Liverpool - I hope it all goes to shit next season. Pure emotions.
That's not even close to being true. You're telling me that City didn't try to beat Spurs? City tried to win every single game. You can rationalise it however you like but it was yours to lose and you blew the lead.
City players tried to win. Pep didn't. He has history with this too.
Time to close this.
Liverpool are cnuts /.

Thats harsh, City won 14 games in a row to pass them and Liverpool themselves answered back with 9 or 10 straight wins. It took City taking 54 of 57 points in the second half of the season to deny them. No way they bottled the title.They were 7 points clear
Or maybe he just got it wrong. None of that takes away from the fact that you let your lead slip.
If it had been United I would say the exact same thing. You bottled it and just weren't as good as them over the season, there's no shame in that.
Threw away? How so?
Agüero missed a pen in the first leg and Laporte had two brainfarts in the second leg. You can't do anything about that as a manager.
Yeah, City piled the pressure on and they couldn't handle it. They crumbled/bottled it whatever you want to call it.
Thats completely not true, saying Pep bottled the CL is probably worse than saying Liverpool bottled the league, had Aguero scored a penalty in the first leg, people would be hailing Pep as a genius who would likely have had a shot at the quad. Think is fairer to say Laporte bottled the CL, gifting Spurs two goals at the Etihad.
How is 10 wins in a row bottling it?
They blew their lead. What's the big deal about saying they bottled it?
If we put Moreno next to VvD for just one CL game we would not be lifting number 6. And I wouldn't be blaming a missed Salah penalty for it.
That's a new one.
He may have got the balance wrong but 3 trophies indicated he got it more right than wrong
I absolutely hate how jealous I am of the cnuts.
Seriously feck this forum.
City fans, who won the league, defending Liverpool who they won it over on a United fan site.
Is there no quality control? Just rename it Hipster Cafe.

He got three things very, very right. But had to sacrifice the fourth to ensure that. And so he winged it and got banged. What came wasn't a 'shock'.
He sacrificed nothing.
It's very bizarre.
