If this is how you react to those "shitty takes" then I suggest you never visit RAWK or Bluemoon if you want Liverpool and City to do well. You'd probably want both of those clubs to never win a game of football ever again if you did.
Liverpool are the worst defending champions in Premier League history
- Thread starter Schmeichel's Cartwheel
- Start date
Full of cringe indeed.
After winning the title last season with 5 games to spare the minimum requirement for Liverpool this season was a top 4 place. They needed the last weekend of the season to sneek in and finished 30 points off their 2019/20 total so nothing to shout about or making articles about it as BBC have.
If you mean as a boost to see us through till the end, fair enough. But in principle we'd still have finished third if he didn't score that goal.
EDIT: Just read your post below, never mind then.
Sorry, should have been in quotes. “They’re having the worst defense”
Some of their supporters have been celebrating like they won the league again.
One guy at work actually brought cakes in to celebrate getting 3rd place. I told him I wouldn't be touching them.
They won the league last season and now they are celebrating 3rd.
Small time cnuts

You're right. I still can't quite fully deal with the amount of shitty takes in internet.
I made a mistake, sorry.
I also know some Liverpool fans in person who are making a big deal out of their club finishing 3rd as if it was some amazing achievement (the defending champions with the 2nd highest wage bill in the league finished 3rd, wow), and making out as if they were the only team in footballing history to suffer from injury problems.
After the late win against Tottenham and then 7-0 win away to Palace in mid-December, many people expected them to pull away and win the title at a relative canter, but they did exactly the opposite and collapsed.
They're still clearly the biggest underachievers in Premier League history. They're the 2nd biggest club in England, but you can still count on one hand the number of times that they've realistically challenged for the title (5 times) during the last 30 seasons, in 2001/2002, 2008/2009, 2013/2014, 2018/2019 and 2019/2020. That's poor to be honest.

We can't deal with yours.
I try to be balanced and honest in my opinions. I won't antagonize you.
It’s not that we made third or gained European qualification. It’s the way it was done and the timing. We were dead and buried after Newcastle. Beating united put a lot of hope back into supporters that not only did we have a chance but we might have returned to our normal dominant selves after a brutal year. Winning out the rest of our games only gave more confidence that perhaps we were indeed back to our best. Allison’s goal with what he’s been going through just added more drama. We still needed a result or so we thought going into Sunday and when that was achieved of course there was reason to celebrate. How could you possibly not get that.
What I can’t understand is why would you care or be upset that Liverpool made it into the top four. For some reason it really hit a nerve for no good reason. After all we’re no threat in Europe after being such terrible title defenders.
Did klopp has a poor season by his standard? Definately. But equating brenda and ole to him is just ridiculous. He is about a few levels ahead. The cnut.
I have a lot more important things in life to be getting upset about than Liverpool achieving their minimum target.
My reply was directed towards the agreement of the BBC cringe article. Spare me the dramatics, United finished 3rd last season in simliar fashion when they looked dead and buried and weren't a defending champion team but I don't recall any cringe articles praising that "achievement" instead most of the talk was about the collapse by Leicester and how Lampard did better with Chelsea even though they finished 4th.
You are, 1 league title in 30 years for the second biggest club in England is embarrassing. When United went 26 years without winning it, not one United fan would have disagreed with someone calling us underachievers. Quite funny that you’re calling someone else deludedClearly
deluded
You know what to do then. Do us all a favour and take yourself over to RAWK or Bluemoon, I’m sure you’d fit right in over there.
In all fairness I must have read his post wrongYou are, 1 league title in 30 years for the second biggest club in England is embarrassing.

I thought he was taking about biggest under achievement in an EPL season
my bad
Biggest failure of our season was to not beat them and knock them out of the Champions league.
Yep, it was a golden opportunity and we blew it.
He is correct if you read the whole paragraph you know.Clearly
deluded
Edit: didn't read your later post. Fair play.
Nat Philips was a revelation for them in the 2nd half of the season. 3 games before the new year and 17 after, playing well during their strong run. Conceded 15 goals in the 20 games he played in the league and champions league with him scoring 1 goal. Really strong in the air and should be in contention for England with Stones and Maguire
Yep.
That "little protest" really did work marvellously in their favour.
No chance we'd have lost to them in the original game, and that would have most likely seen them screwed.
Just thinking about shocking title defenses, how does 2015/16 Chelsea not come up every time?
Title holders finished 10th, 31 points off Leicester, and sacked their most successful manager...

I think they did well given their defensive injuries. We sometimes underestimate the importance of such losses. VVD was a huge loss to them and we would have suffered equally or worse if the roles were reversed.
They will challenge again next season and whoever finishes above them could very well win the league. We would have beaten them at home this season if the game wasn't cancelled because of the protest - funny way how things turn out - in this case, it worked in their favour.
