reddogkev Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 One of the most exciting Premier League title races for ages (well, since the Foxes bagged it), and wait, don't think we've had a thread about the race. Since November I've wanted Liverpool to win it, mainly because of the quality and intensity of their football, led by the stunning talent of their attack. Also, I'm bored by Money Man City bagging endless league titles, even though I accept they are an incredible team and will fully merit the win, if they succeed. I'm still going for Liverpool, although it is hard to see where City will drop points. Will Ole's Man U restore some pride in the Manc derby, after their poor defeat to the Toffees, or perhaps they prefer Man City to win instead of their more hated rivals? Whatever happens, both teams will likely finish with over 95 points, which sounds insane. It's like having two championship winning teams playing in the same season.

sglosbcfc Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 I think Manchester City will win it, they just shade Liverpool for squad quality. Liverpool need United to spring a derby shock, which in an intense derby can happen despite City have much more quality than United. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sticks 1969 Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 I reckon united will have to bounce back from yesterday’s dire performance and do Liverpool a big favour on Wednesday. on the other hand city might smell blood and hammer them.....

You may be right, unless Man U quickly get their heads up, I wouldn't be surprised if City win something like 5-0 at Old Trafford. If they do, then there will be little Liverpool can do to stop them.

Going back to our years in the old first division, Man City were one of the few teams that their supporters filled the entire open end. They were a club that were getting 30k plus in ( what’s now) league one, they are far from ‘upstarts’.
