How ridiculous that some Man United fans would even suggest sacrificing top four to stop Liverpool winning the league. Do you really want to play Europa on Thursday nights?
It's ridiculous tbh. It just says to me that these people over the past 5 years have become so disillusioned or just were glory hunters in the first place that we go through a rough spell and they sacrifice the future good of the club so a rival doesnt win. No matter how hated any other club is, United comes first. If it's a matter of 2/3/4, obviously it doesnt make a difference. Big difference between 4th and 5th though. It's not even like the alternative to Liverpool is good though, so I really dont understand the people who would rather we lose to City than beat them and give Liverpool the title.
It's different for you lot though. you got used to dealing with us winning the league. If you win this PL title, any subsequent titles you win probably won't seem half as unpalatable. The longer you go without winning it, the more disappointing it will be for me when (if) you finally do win it.
Bonkers. I don't understand the reasoning behind their thought process. Some even posted they'd rather United were relegated before Liverpool win the league. I hope they're just trying to put their hate for Liverpool into context but you sometimes have to wonder.
Not being in the CL will hurt your chances of getting top players. Goodwill eventually runs out, and you lot, just like us (Liverpool), can bang on about the history as much as you want, but if you are not playing in the CL regularly, then the elite players will go elsewhere.

City will go hard for the PL now, and I don’t think pool will get past Barca as much as the media are getting a hard on over pool!Yeah but now there is a real possibility of Liverpool's CL and PL double which I think is the worst scenario for the United fans
There will never be 2 matches in 48 hours at this time of the season. Plus I don't know how long have you been following football, but a 2 legged CL tie always takes place with one match on a Tuesday and another on Wednesday. So Pool and Barca won't be facing each other on 2 Tuesdays. There will at least be a 2 day rest between 2 matches, it's standard protocol.
Then that's even worse.
Question, are you from england? From my experience speaking to people here most would happily sacrifice top 4 to guarantee Liverpool didn't win the league (even more so a double). Considering how so many on here don't get it i can only assume our foreign fans don't understand the rivalry
Simple fact of the matter is the PL title is gonna be decided at OT. The momentum Pool have now I can't see them dropping points in the league. So if City are to win the league, they are going to have to win at OT. And if we lose against City that's our top 4 hopes done for. So it's all gonna come to a head for Utd, City and Pool next Wednesday.
Yeah that's what it is. I'm foreign and normally I wouldn't care as much but the nauseating wankery in the media over Liverpool is probably a small sliver of what local fans would go through if Liverpool ever wins it
That’s not true, if they win this one, the next one will be very very unpalatable as it catches up with us.
Yea we're fecked! But atleast City cant do a quad now! That's all I wanted at this point!
Some people like that kinky stuff.
.Definitely, no where near our PL & CL double winning sides!
Cardiff (a) Sunday 21st April
I don't want to sound like a prick but let's say we get the double. This will certainly be a side getting way over 91 pts and that is Fergie's United absolute best.
Everyone keeps harping on about Liverpool aren't that good but they really are! They have a great chance to reach the champions league final for the second season running and are on course to hit more points in the Premier League than United have EVER managed in a single season.
That Newcastle fixture looks more perilous now all the same. Klopp will have to rotate with the Barcelona second leg on the horizon. Will Shaqiri, Sturridge, Origi, Lallana, Clyne, Moreno and Lovren have the bottle to get the job done with that huge pressure on them to succeed? Time will tell...
Liverpool 09 was arguably better with Xabi Alonso, Gerrard, Torres, Mascherano, Hypia, Carragher. This current Liverpool side is good but not great they've had an easy run in, in the CL so far. A pensioner Munich side and a pathetic Porto side almost as bad as us defensively!
Not a Liverpool player.
You’re right. I’d forgotten that (despite still thinking it was a batshit mental gamble for Klopp to take at the time).
Suarez and Coutinho knocking them out with Benitez taking points off them in between. That'd be amazing.
It was a gamble but we have a few options to cover now that Gomez is coming back from injury as well. Hoping we won't need cover though and our first 11 stay fit. We're going to need them all firing to win anything this season
I'd disagree with the squad comparison. The front 3 and back 5 are currently miles ahead of the '09 side in my opinion. Obviously Mascherano, Gerrard, Alonso is a better midfield but overall I'd say this is a more balanced squad and probably Liverpool's best of the PL era. They've had a relatively simple couple of knockout rounds in the Champions League but if they are to win it they will have had to get past Bayern & Barca over 2 legs (not easy whoever you are) and managed to scrape out of a difficult group with Napoli & PSG, not as easy a CL run as it could have been.
Last time we challenged for one of the big prizes was last season and we've pushed on from there. We're guaranteed to be in the Champions League again next season and our recruitment will be stronger for it. I dont think we'll fall away like we did after 2002, 2009 and 2014
I hope you’re right
I think Barca will beat them in the first leg but Liverpool will give them a hiding at Anfield. Also think us or Spurs will get a result against City.
