The least of the two out of four, the two measly cups, both won on penalties. Zero goals scored in three finals. And still there'll be people contriving to sing their praises for years to come. I wonder if there'll be a book and/or a documentary about it. It would be no surprise. Let's predict the title of it: "What Could have Been; Penalties are Technically Goals, Right?"
Or, alternately: "Refs and VAR Go Again!"
Or how about: "We Needed Villa to Beat City, but They Didn't."
I'll say that I'm relieved to have suffered through this season without vomiting, not from United's admittedly nauseating performances, but from the sickening fawning of the media over Liverpool and the way everyone seemed to just wank themselves into a stupor over the idea of their inevitable conquest of the sport. And then they won two domestic cups, both on penalties, both after 0-0. And now it looks a lot like their two best players have lost interest in it. Maybe they want to go somewhere that they aren't required to pretend to be asthmatics.
Once we reach an era where 75% of football commentators, pundits and journos are no longer former players or boyhood fans of Liverpool, maybe it'll be time to hear the media care a jot about some other team. For now, it's tiresome as all hell to be subjected to this unmitigated love-in by everyone who writes and talks about the sport. I'm sick of how it was "written in the stars" and "fated to be." We've even got one or two sensible scousers here on this forum who acknowledge that it's excessive how much this shit has been rammed down everyone's throats.
