It's not that we "want" them to win it, it's just the situation being what it is that it's preferable that they win it ahead of the dippers.
I know it´s childish to hate a team but LFC I do hate being a fan when they won everything. City Leeds Arse Renties I just dislike. Liverpool I hate, sorryWithout the Man Utd/ Liverpool rivalry a lot would be lost in the English game.
No need to hate.
I bet you did real well in math class.
hes a top accountant now for the governmentI bet you did real well in math class.
Shorter distance for it to travel next May.Keep the trophy within the city.

This really.Anything but Liverpool.
Did you take him to Casualty or just leave the tw_at to call his own ambulance?When pretty drunk about a month ago I met a scouser who was a friend of a friend in a pub near me and got chatting about the league this season, United and Liverpool and what not and got on well enough with him and in the end I said:
"D'ya know what? I wouldn't begrudge you the league this season. You're a club run in the correct fashion, earned your successes and not benefitted from any financial doping. I can't say I like Suarez or Gerrard but there are a few players I think seem honest enough so I could accept it if you were to win it".
He then turned nasty saying...
"feck you, you dirty Manc scum, we don't need your fecking sympathy or you taking the high horse cause you've had 20 years of success and now your back down with the peasants. You're a fecking scum club and we don't need any "acceptance" from you"..... or something along those lines. I can't remember it exactly as I was pissed and it took me by surprise. He suddently turned into a proper bitter scouse cnut from nowhere despite the fact I was being amiable and giving his club their dues.
He ended up getting even more nasty and abusive before I told him to feck off and get a grip. It was a bit of a wake up call for me as to exactly why I hate the cnuts and I'm glad it happened now as it's made the last fortnight incredibly sweet.
I fecking hate scousers.
I feel similar. Objectively, Liverpool are a better champion politically speaking, with their lack of spending absurdity and constant undeserved firing of managers, but nobody wants to have MOTD ruined next year with a shot of Gerrard holding the title.Said a while back that I would prefer Liverpool to City or Chelsea, on account of them having done it without oil/oligarch money.
I managed to keep telling myself this until Liverpool against City. The closer it got to Liverpool actually winning the thing the more my attempt at being fair and rational lost its appeal.
Hope City have it sewn up by half time.
I was the opposite, furiously mumbling to myself that they'd have had no chance if not for the 10-15 less games afforded by a poor cup run and no European football.Said a while back that I would prefer Liverpool to City or Chelsea, on account of them having done it without oil/oligarch money.

excellent come backI failed so many times i can't even count.
That in particular from the media is absolute BS, I've never seen a collective grouping of rival factions band together as they have done in the last few weeks at the thought of preventing Liverpool from winning it, from Everton to Villa to West Ham forums hoping they'd lose the matches against City, to Chelsea fans proclaiming to City fans "We've done our part (after the Liverpool/Chelsea match), now its time to do yours", not even mentioning United fans..I was the opposite, furiously mumbling to myself that they'd have had no chance if not for the 10-15 less games afforded by a poor cup run and no European football.
Now City look set to win it, objectively I'd have preferred Liverpool. Their fanbase in unbearable though and since the media took the line of 'every neutral wants them to win it' I have been against them.
Never in the league but finals usually get a universal neutral backing toward an underdog. Wigan last year and Hull this year (although I hope Myler isn't playing).That in particular from the media is absolute BS, I've never seen a collective grouping of rival factions band together as they have done in the last few weeks at the thought of preventing Liverpool from winning it, from Everton to Villa to West Ham forums hoping they'd lose the matches against City, to Chelsea fans proclaiming to City fans "We've done our part (after the Liverpool/Chelsea match), now its time to do yours", not even mentioning United fans..
I've never witnessed a bonding quite like this in English football.
Don't feel sorry for them - even people in their early 30s can remember Liverpool winning the League. Wait until it's only people in their 80s.A foreign plastic fan's view:
Liverpool fans are plentiful and annoying. Still, part of me feels bad about cheering for City to win it so Liverpool won't when I think of elderly Liverpool fans who have waited 25 years for a league title and may never see one again, but then I remember they're just Liverpool fans who got older, aren't they?
About as well as you did in English class!I bet you did real well in math class.
Or in all of the 5 weeks you've been here!This, ladies and gentlemen, is the quickest witty comeback that the Caf has ever seen.
Because fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering?Without the Man Utd/ Liverpool rivalry a lot would be lost in the English game.
No need to hate.
Well, in fairness I've been stalking the boards for a couple of years or so, but could never be bothered to sign up due to chronic laziness.Or in all of the 5 weeks you've been here!
Yeah. I think it's mainly a question for Mancs, being out of town it's very easy, there are no City fans anywhere to be seen where I live, while I'd have to deal with Liverpool winning the title just like everyone else here as well. Many of my close friends support Liverpool, I'd never hear the end of it, especially if that wanker Gerrard gets his hand on a league trophy. City? No one gives a damn.Got a question. If city were still yet to win a trophy in nearly 4 decades, would we still be wishing them to win the league over Liverpool?
Personally I'd still be wishing City win it over Liverpool
Math and maths are both correct.About as well as you did in English class!
'Real well' should read 'really well'.Math and maths are both correct.
These are my feelings too. The only celebration this season is "at least it's not Liverpool"I won't be celebrating City's title. I'll be celebrating Liverpool fecking it up.
