Let's be absolutely clear. The draw at Anfield was a good point. Losing at City isn't a disgrace, albeit the method of our capitulation was. So one point from those two games wouldn't have been the end of the world.....IF we hadn't fucked it against Southampton and West Ham. Those two results were all about total lack of balls when the heat was on. We'd be 3 points clear still and it would have been a goal difference issue
I can see your point Steve, but I look at it differently. I think the three points we threw away at Anfield cost us the league.
I think at 2-0 on that day the victims* were done. Their players had given up, their heads were down, their fans heads were down. We could have won 3 or 4 nil. They were fucked.
And then prize cùnt of the century Lobotomy Clive starts a pointless childish ruck over nothing and the mouser* fans exploded and they became that elusive - but often lethal - 12th man and their players got angry and pumped up by their fans and their players said "fuck this let's teach this cûnt something".
Then when they fucked two goals past us our "leadership group" folded like the spineless collective they are and that shattered the confidence and the bravado of our younger inexperienced players.
Roll on the whammers and saints debacles. We saw a ruderless scared group of talented youngsters and gutless so called "leaders" go into panic driven freefall.
All directly caused by that one act of selfish stupidity by Lobotomy Clive a "player" that some of our more idiotic fans (see under singing Ole when two nil up) call a "leader".
There's no doubt that the Swiss mong's actions at Anfield were a factor in what followed
All I would say is that a team with proper leaders in it wouldn't have allowed it to be such a major turning point. A PV4 or TA6 were more than used to going away in a white hot atmosphere with a crowd breathing down their necks
Clive ignited the Mickeys spark and as a collective 11 rudderless limpdicks allowed it to be the trigger for folding. Our captain for example was fucking anonymous from that point onwards.

Exactly. It drives me nuts when I hear snowflakes classify Lobotomy Clive as a "leader" because he points a lot or drags people over for an attention grabbing huddle. That's not a fucking leader.
These are the same kind of soft snowflake arseholes that call that Kerdashian bloke a "beautiful and strong" woman because he bought a pair of fake tits and would rather make a spectacle of himself all over the interwebs and cable TV rather than get a job.

"She's" more of a man than Gabriel or Partey will ever be. I suspect those two gormless c.unts are part of the "leadership group"

If we had won at Anfield, we would have steamrolled both WH & Southampton. And we would have gone to City with a 5 point cushion and a completely different mindset. Coming away from Anfield with 3 points, the players would have really, really believed they were going to do this. The deflation they must have felt, after being absolutely dominant, to hanging on for dear life, affected everything from that point on.
Xhaka obviously heard that fans were blaming him for firing their mob up, yet no contrition, no, I'm sorry, just an airy dismissal, like we are all idiots. That insane comment...."it's not our job to fire up the opposition fans" just shows what an absolute plank the man is. He doesn't even understand what he did. He has absolutely zero self awareness.
As Steve said, he'll eventually leave, go elsewhere and slag us off to anybody who will listen.
My preference for relegation; considering Saints are gone would be for them to be joined by Dirrrrty Leeds and the Scouser knuckle draggers.
Racist Weeds and blue dippers can fuck off down to the lower leagues. Both media luvvies despite being rubbish for years. Having said that, they've both won the league more recently than the scum but then again, that really isn't saying much.
Title chasing and we drew with the rock bottom side twice, and in fact, were lucky not to lose one of them. And lost to relegation threatened Everton and drew with WH. Sides who win titles sweep those teams aside.

Absolutely. Every player and manager that has won the league when asked about the key ingredients in their win, one thing that is always mentioned is "momentum". Winning breeds winning. It is not possible to to overstate the psychological impact Lobotomy Clive's stupid selfish moronic actions - and the result of that mouser* game - had on our players, particularly the younger ones that look to older players for leadership and character.
City’s last 12 league games - won 11, drawn 1 - and the draw was against forest where they should have won 9 nil, had 74% possession, 23 attempts, and conceded from the only shot forest had on target in the whole game. So basically a complete fluke result.
As well documented as our own trials and tribulations have been over the last few weeks unless you’re winning 16 on the bounce in the run in it’s not going to be good enough up against those c.unts.
There isn’t a team in the league bar them capable of going on a winning run like that. They could easily finish the season having won 16 and drawn 1 of their final 17 games.
Utterly depressing and they’ll win it at a canter again next season.

Sides who win titles don't have Utter Useless Talentless Pea-Brained Retards like CliveElCunto in their squad.
Absolutely infuriates me that teams, low level teams, go to City and make them work. We go there and give up within the first 5 minutes and then just blithely dismiss the loss as, "well what did you expect, it's City" We expect you to at least try!!
I was thinking the same. If City fans had a vote on who was the easiest team to play at home I bet they would say Arsenal.

Didn't the *dippers finish on something mental like 97 PTS and they still didn't manage to win it

Edit Just checked and the *dippers have finished on 92 and 97 pts and finished 2nd to the cnuts The maximum we can manage is 90..didn't beegee hair say something when asked about the title back in Dec/jan along the lines of "It will probably take around 90pts to do it"
Amateur hour when you think of it cos the cheats would look at that and say "You'll not be winning it with 90 ya fanny"
Like you say depressing.
"You'll not be winning it with 90 ya fanny"
