Look i don't like disagreeing with City fans however -
Yes we have put 4 past Klopp 1) just after they won PL and they hardly turned up 2) at Klanfield with no crowd, where we normally shit ourselves.
Tuchel, beat us the league, FA Cup and CL final
We have yet to beat Bielsa
Brenda beat us 5-2 and at Wembley
Nuno did the double over us 2-0 at Etihad and 3-2 away previously
Can't remember the last time we beat the bus driver in the league.
Q.E.D.
It shows a competitive league.
It's not a competitive league, Beefy. Maybe a competitive top 10, but the rest are utter garbage. Teams that might have a go if it's the right day for them, but overall they are shit.
Happened so many times when we hoped for a favour coming from some places.
We've had a favour loads of times. Aguero title winning season, rags losing at Wigan, 2014 season, dippers losing a 3 goal lead at Crystal Palace, 100 point season winning it when relegated West Brom won at rags. Last season Sheff United won there to put us top and not look back, Burnley win at dippers, West Brom at Chelsea. There might be a big gap from the top few onwards but there's these results every season which is why foreign coaches always go on about it being the most competitive league.
Yep, but we also had 18/19 when Scouse kept on winning. Cannot forget the travesty Benitez and Newcastle put in their last away game of the season, just before our Leicester trip. Spuds scoring an own goal in the last minute. Thank fuck Everton stood their ground that year, fair play to the rags also.
But you can see their performance in Europe where they fail to impress in Europa League or UEFA Cup. Except Chelsea and Arse, who are teams that played well in Europe, the rest couldn't actually do anything. Astra, a Romanian team that is now in the second league, bankrupt, eliminated WHU two times from Europe. WHU with their big squad, not reserves.
I think those managers say that because the Premier League has a special aura around it. Always did. I would many times watch a Huddersfield vs Burnley rather than a similar one in Germany, Italy, or Spain. Imho that aura comes from the fans. They made it special, always did.
But the clubs are very overrated. That's why players like White are sold for over 50 mil.
