Stones hasn’t. Dias and Laporte ended on their arses in October when Mo scored.

This is my point, we haven’t won enough matches 3 goals to nil often enough this season for ones like you to believe we’re going to give them a good spanking. Now com’ on Klopp. #Klopp out! :rofl:

1-4 @ 80-1. Seems a sensible bet to me :slight_smile: Tomorrow could be the day we topple them permanently. There’s no question we’re in Pep’s head. Time to blow it off his shoulders.

I want them having nightmares about us after this. I want them to wake up Monday morning thinking “fucking hell, we have to play these again on Saturday…”

No mercy. Balls to the wall. This is do or fucking die time, the sort of match that all footballers should live for.

Probably end in a draw.

at the heart of the tribal malice between Liverpool and City fans is an insoluble paradox: the idea that whether it be City’s state-backed money or Liverpool’s history and tradition, they alone are the courageous underdog insurgents railing against The Power.

The paradox being that for all their strong sense of anti‑establishment identity, City and Liverpool are essentially the establishment now.

In footballing and financial terms, from pressing to scouting, from culture to commercial instinct, they are the exemplary models, the template of how to build a super‑club.

What an absolute load of moral relativist crap. Really screams what a sycophantic latecomer to football that Jonathan Liew cunt really is and just how little he knows about football. Wish the guardian would piss him off to write about tiddly-winks or masterbating with glasses on or something else he may just have a fucking clue about.

A taut, cautious draw is the likeliest result, followed by the City win that would probably kill off the title race, followed by the Liverpool win that would put them two points clear with seven games remaining. What feels certain is that something will break here, something will end here, one way or the other.

So you favour a draw but say it’s certain something will break? Okay, you’ve explained that really well.

The City v Liverpool rivalry meant little before they arrived and will probably go back to meaning little after they depart. All the more reason, then, to cherish this fleeting alignment of the fates: to revel in the sort of game that tells us not merely where football is right now, but where it might be heading.

What? So while you’re claiming that both are ‘exemplary models, the template of how to build a super‑club’ at the same time you think that the rivalry is fleeting as it is based upon the managers themselves? Nice logic… Then apparently this rivalry should be cherished because it tells us where football might be heading… Please fuck off this useless waste of football column inches guardian and send him on assignment elsewhere - perhaps he could test out his natural out of his depth impartiality in the role of embedded war reporter?

I really wish you’d get off the fence regarding your opinion of Jonathan Liew, @PaulRoJo

Pick a side, ffs….

The article is idiotic crap. Man City are only relevant because we need to beat a cheating cunt team bankrolled by blood and oil money to win the title.

They arent our rivals. Not by a long shot.

@PaulRoJo I enjoyed your column more than I did his. Have you thought about throwing your hat into the ring at the Guardian? I’m sure they’d be delighted to have you on board.

He really didn’t interview well with Atko on the TAW a couple of weeks ago…as he might pretentiously write ‘un arriviste non pareil’

City fans probably wish that Liverpool fans treat them as rivals.

That’s a terrible article but, to be fair to Liew, he’s usually far better than that.

Everyone has dips in form.
