At least we're qualified for the Europa League in case we magically get like 20 points taken from us. :ld: :whew:

If city win tomorrow the league is over?
Nope. If City win tomorrow, lose their last game but Liverpool win their next two, City as it stands would win on goal difference. And even if you somehow catch up on goal difference, City would win due to scoring more goals.

At this point, the league is Bayern status. No one is getting this close to City in the league for the next 5 years at least. Easy when you have an empty check book.

here we go again :mjlol :mjlol:
Man City are no different from Bayern… just buying their rival’s talent. Realistically, no one is catching up with them in the league. This season was the closest Liverpool would get again to winning the league.

Mane and Salah are in their 30s now… Jota and Diaz are good but Liverpool don’t have an out and out striker, something that City was missing this season and have now acquired. And they were minutes away from another CL final too.

If Mbappe had gone to Liverpool, I’d say there was a chance but he’s Real Madrid bound.

cot damn :mjlol :mjlol:

which big players did citeh poach from rivals in the prem?

which big players did citeh poach from rivals outside of the prem?
Sterling- a season after Liverpool came close to winning the league.

Mahrez- Not exactly a rival but a PL league winner and he was “poached”.

Grealish: Not a rival but poached (an over priced) huge talent from a smaller club.

Dias: Bought from Benfica.

Could’ve bought Harry Kane if Levy wasn’t being such a Shylock. I don’t even know why this needs explaining.
