If it’s a shit league, then so every league in Europe must be shit!
The clge final was contested by 2 plge sides last season and I wouldn’t bet against something similar this season!
The shittest thing about the plge, is that the victims are streets ahead of the rest!
And we are streets behind most of the rest!
It’s fucking painful, but to belittle what the mousers are doing is merely sour grapes!

Tbf Sid, I don't think that anyone is doing that as such - there can be no denying that the victims are getting an awful lot of questionable calls going their way, but I'm not saying that they are not the best team in the league. What I will say though, is that the victims are one injury away from seeing a massive drop off, and that is if the injury is to van dijk - I don't think I have ever seen a league winning side soooo dependent on one player as much as they are on van dijk, cos the reality is that he is covering a lot of defensive weaknesses that his team have

Actually I think that IS the case Sid.

There has been a slow decline in quality everywhere. Money and hype is ruining football.

This is going to be the season from fucking hell. The murderers are going to go invincible, surpass 49 games unbeaten (today was game 34 without defeat) have the league wrapped up by February and break the record points total in the process.

Nobody is laying a fucking glove on the them and with the standard of the league being so shit nobody will :banghead:
Watched The Victims yesterday and also against Everton.. Two home games against teams in or around the bottom three and while I think they will win the title I would be fairly confident that they will lose a game or games and I would think sooner rather than later..(probably regret posting that)..Their vaunted defence is a world class central defender plus one other from three and two attacking full backs. Alexander Arnold of the two looks vulnerable against intelligence more than against pace.
Against Napoli and also yesterday there was signs of frustration from the stands which spread to the pitch and and to Stupid Teeth. There is a sense of entitlement among the fans and players that leads to a sense of complacency that may cost them. My only fear on the Invincibles score is that even VAR seems to favour them on the contentious decisions. Obviously and painfully they have the media onside who will big the Invincibles up if it goes beyond January.
It will be interesting to see if the trip this week affects them.
And especially this ^ 100% 8)

It's a shit league. One of the most one dimensional teams in the history of the game are winning matches before they even step on the pitch ffs. Add to that the cheating by refs and VAR and it's a fucking disgrace too.

The victims basically have the league won with 3 attackers and one world class defender. If Stupid Teeth bottles this one then it will be the worst bottle job in the history of everything ever. I can't see them bottling it though. The chasing pack (citeh) are too inconsistent. But that mouser team won't go unbeaten. Take it to the bank.

Especially you sid you fucking closet mouser fan boy. :box: :censored:

I'm not sure how old people are here but as much as I've backed the mouser's over Hillsborough they are the most up their own arses bunch of sanctimonious feckwits the football world has ever seen anyne who was around in the 70/80's will know this !
I'm not saying they aren't a good team they are that's for sure but their fans will be crowing for the next 10 years when they win the league ,and there's NOTHING and I mean nothing worse than a smug scouser !
We done them in the Cup final of 71 ,but after that we faded and they became the team of the 70's and 80's and boy did they lord it !
Going to Liverpool wasn't a joke in the 70's and 80's and after we totally wrecked the City in the league cup semi in 78 they hated us with a passion.
Every visit thereafter was a very dicey affair ,I got arrested twice there but it never went to court as the bizzies preferred beating you to a pulp rather than do the paperwork, worked for me !
Beating them in 87 at Wembley started the Arsenal resurgence ,Liverpool had never lost after all when rush scores first Anfield 89 slew a multitude of demons and then they faded and the dreaded mancs became the rivals.
I hate them for Heysel and their reveling in their murderous acts !

How nice it is to see Colchester, Oxford, and Liverpool's schoolboys all playing in the quarter final of a competition we are far too successful to compete for

Indeed mate

And those Liverpool schoolboys (who we scored 5 against but still didn’t knock out) are currently 4-0 down to a half strength Villa team.

Of course not :oops:

And to think when Wenger and Ferguson were among the first to start belittling this competition it was because it was seen as a hindrance to our title chances and possible success in Europe. Now we’re a Bolton :roll:

At last, a bit of fucking schadenfreude.

BBC claiming Liverpool players did themselves proud. They were somehow favourites with the bookies and were 4-0 down at half time for fucks sake.

Wankers.

We finished 27 points behind Liverpool last season. We’re already 27 points behind them after just 17 games this campaign.

We’re fucked.
It's not unrealistic to think we could be 50 or more behind them come May

Success with that club is measured on whether they managed not to murder any of the opposition fans.
