1. Everyone is pushing for the scousers. From the media, to the people behind the doors. Every decision is going their way, 99% of the teams do not bother at all to stop them. Add to this that they seem to not get any ”bad days at the office”.
2. Managerial brainfarts. I think we've lost the chance last year because Pepito decided to overthink both Chelsea games (semi and final). Without those, I think we might have won it all, in spite of everyone.
Imho, their quadruple will be bent, they are dopey fuckers, cheaters. But no one, and I mean no one, will ever point that out.
That might be straw that broke the camel's back when it comes to football purity and no one wants that.
But it's not over yet, I've heard that Manchester City are still alive here ...
We also had the handicap of the league Cup final being moved to later in the season in the middle of what was already a very tricky run.
Dormund away
FA cup semi
Villa away
League Cup final
Psg away
Palace away
Psg home
Chavs home.
Did the timing of the lcf influence Peps team selection for the FA semi? Only he will know.
Balotelli......that's a brilliant finish.
