Cheering on Liverpool - 2017/18 edition

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?

If Liverpool beat City they'll think they can beat anyone else, and why not? I'm thinking about who I'd hate to win and hoping they get dumped out first. Then the other one can hopefully get dumped out in the Semis.
Just saw the thread title, 
really?
Maybe it's the younger fans, since the rivalry with Liverpool is not so intense compare to before.
---MCity rivalry is much more intense and more of our threat since they can and have actually won trophies, Liverpool hardly a threat nowadays.
Personally, no United means CL is boring, don't care who progress/won.. well, from a neutral point of view, just Barca, RM, Juventus and Atletico.
EDIT: In addition, related with the context of this season, it may have to do with not wanting MCity to get closer to the CL final, and thereby closer to treble.

Or shinned into Salahs nuts from a late corner flooring him and then rolling limpy over the goal line in slow motion in a packed penalty box. Either would suffice.A 93rd minute goal from 'the long ball'
Liverpool quite easily for me due to, as others have pointed out, 'strategic' reasons: city have the quality to go all the way, Liverpool don't. Of course you could argue Liverpool beating City makes them better by default but then you'll be ignoring the bogey-team aspect, or even the fact Liverpool is primed to play against a team like City more so than the remaining teams, who would dick them. Which I can't wait for in the semis.
Be careful what you wish for. Liverpool didn't have 'the quality' to win it in 2005, or to get to a 2007 final, but they did.
Wishing injury on a player
I want City to win 10-0 at Anfield, Liverpool to get angry and break a few City legs before the end, with a few Liverpool red cards shown as a result.
Then I want United to despatch City’s depleted team at the Etihad in the league.
For the second leg, I’d settle for a 9-0 Liverpool win, with them just coming up short.
I want Liverpool out before City. In a knockout comp, anything is possible.

I'd prefer to see Liverpool knock out City than the other way around. I think Liverpool are much less likely to progress from the semis than City. I do however hope those affairs will be fierce and full of aggro.
Listen to this man
For the sake of English football, he said...
Want City to smash the fecking Vermin. Loads in here wanted The Scouse cnuts to beat Chelsea in 05 since AC Milan would easily beat them in the final. Cheer Liverpool on you dirty feckers but don't pretend to be an unitedfan then
You can prefer one of the two to go out in the quarters, it doesn't mean you are cheering the other team on. I don't think anyone is in a position to tell others what you have to be like to be a true United fan.
I think Liverpool are one of the few teams who can beat City over two legs so yeah I’m hoping for a Liverpool win
Don’t get me wrong, if I had to choose one to WIN the Champs League outright, it would be City. I just think any one of Real, Barcelona, Bayern and Juve would knock Liverpool out after the City game

I don’t want either to win obviously. However my feelings are Liverpool are less likely to beat Real, Bayern or Barcelona so I want Liverpool to go through only to be knocked out in the semis
Feck Liverpool
City getting to the semi-finals under Guardiola would feel like new ground being broke. Liverpool getting to the semi-finals would seem like something merely a bit jammy, like a smaller underdog team who don't really deserve to be there fluking their way to the last 4. With City, even if the semis is as far as they go, it'd be seen as something quite seismic that I'd rather avoid.
"Won the league and looking not that far away in Europe" vs "Yeah they won the league but they still can't progress past the last 8 and Europe"
"Won the league and looking not that far away in Europe" vs "Yeah they won the league but they still can't progress past the last 8 and Europe"
Correct.
They've been to the semi finals before but I agree with your point, I want the City bandwagon stopped. They need to be kept away from that trophy for as long as possible.
Mind says 'fair point' heart says 'the sooner the vermin are out the better'.
where is the 2nd leg played?
I don’t get this argument that Liverpool are best suited to beat City. Bayern/Barca/Madrid have a better chance of eliminating City than Liverpool. Hopefully Liverpool lose badly. Don’t want a repeat of 2005 in my lifetime.
It's rubbish, isn't it?
Liverpool had a purple patch in the Anfield match this season but lost the series 8-4 on aggregate.
Will be closer this time but I think City have more room for improvement than Liverpool do.
The tribal mentality of the majority of football fans is completely staggering. Liverpool are the underdogs in the tie, they play (in my own opinion) very attractive football, and they don't have the financial power of City.
So yeah, I'd rather Liverpool win. There's something much more likable about them currently, and it's always nice to see the (financial) underdogs win, cause that's most of the time done through a lot of determination, which is fantastic to see in any sport.

Don't tell me you cried when Slippy threw away the title in 2014
Liverpool vs City is a lose lose situation for me just hope neither win it or get to the final.
I think that was objectively and universally funny...
But yeah, if we're being completely honest, they did have a bit of magic about them that season. It wouldn't have been the worst thing to see them win it. I know a lot of people on here would hate it if Liverpool won the league regardless of circumstances. I don't think I would have minded too much though.
No, you’re absolutely wrong on this one, unless you believe that hatred as a force, outweighs actual principles.
I’m a Liverpool supporter, but I would absolutely prefer you lot, to win the CL over.......No, I just cannot do it! SirAF is spot on.
I respect you lot a hundred times more, but out of United or City winning it? Always City. They’re just locked out of our Brilliant, eternal battle, always will be, whatever they do.
Which is pretty great really. And, one thing I honestly can say, is that, I would’ve HATED Liverpool being bought by a Sugar Daddy. The League title(s) we may’ve won would’ve been utterly devalued.

Hope you’re laughing at what I meant SirAF - I think you are, but I’ve gone back and made it clearer.Yes
I would rather they won than you, because they just matter less, and now, they’ll never truly get that respect back (see Chelsea, forever labelled even though no longer huge spenders because no-one will ever know whether they’d have won a League title anyway.
Even Chelsea though, tangibly, were light years nearer to a title, than City’s starting point).[/QUOTE]
Yes, absolutely - that’s my thinking too.
Which is worse : listening to Red Dipper singing "we've won it 6 times", we've won it 6 times..."
or City singing "bring on the Champions, the Champions of Europe"..
or City singing "bring on the Champions, the Champions of Europe"..
@SirAF you sum up how I feel about the draw. Pool can get fecked, it's beyond me why any United fan would want to see Pool beat City and progress. Mental.
Two nil-nil bore draws, followed by a win through penalties for City, who get spanked by any other team in the semi's. Please.
Nah that definitely would have been the worst thing ever. My goodness.
Agreed, the worst thing imaginable.
Barcelona will be waiting in the Semi Final anyway. Then if they get by Barca you'll have Bayern or Real Madrid.
Don't see either of them winning it
Wish people would stop this guff. League football doesn't work like that.
There's nothing likable about them currently, there's never been anything likable about them nor there will be in the future.
