Drunken posting is the best.

If the comments mention Heysel, they’re from Everton fans. They blame Heysel for stopping them from winning the European Cup, because in their opinion, they were the best team in Europe! Yes, I kid you not, they really believed that.
All I can say is I’m glad Klopp doesn’t have this loser mentality. We didn’t learn anything from 2018/19?

I was just reading through the Burnley sub-Reddit as well as the comments section on Lancashire online and my heart goes out to the supporters of Burnley football club. What an awful feeling for their supporters, hard working men and women, at quite possibly the worst possible time for their club financially. Their supporters are gutted and not many believe they’ll be back in PL ever.
IMO there is legitimate talent in their squad but very little dynamism or tactical creativity. I do retract something I said a few weeks ago about player movement. With the reported sizable cash call being moved forward a year to this summer as a result of relegation, I don’t believe any player will be off limits.
I also don’t believe Burnley will be back in PL anytime soon, but I’ll certainly be keeping an eye on them and pulling for them next season in Championship.

Klopp knows it isn’t a level playing field, as his comments after the Spurs game prove.

It’s a shame that the FA are as corrupt as UEFA and FIFA and refuse to actually hold the book cooking and fraudulent sponsorship deals at City to any form of legal standing. Should be stripped of at least their last 3 titles. For me there will always be an asterisks next to their title wins, none of them are legitimate.

To make it acceptable to all involved, a 3 points deduction will be good enough! 
Hate to say I told you so, but I told you so 
Did we also lose the league by a point, win the CL the same season, then goes on to win the league next season… Did we huh? Did we? Someone tell me, did we, did we?

Wonder if City would have had the physical and mental perseverance to not give up with the gap in points that we had this season.
Highly doubt this.
Have to be ahead of them in the league when the CL KO stage starts. They will easily give up.

Already have the answer in the 2019-20 season. After being about 14 points behind at the half way stage, they had no fight in them to get back into the race.

I think there were two extensions to this that were important. As close as we got to overturning that lead, we never quite got ahead. There were a couple of times we finished our game in first place, but that was because we played that round of fixtures before they did. It is a degree of pressure to put on them, but not the same as the pressure they would have felt had they finished a round of fixtures looking up at us. It was why I said back in March or so, that to take advantage of what looked like City’s growing anxiety we needed them to drop points before we did. It was less about the time left to make up the gap, and more about the psychology of it and how that would impact City’s likelihood of dropping the points we needed them to - if they fell to second at any point it felt like they would have dropped more points down the stretch. That was why the Spurs result, for as good as the run in was, hurt so much because it felt like more than the points, it allowed City to exhale and lift the tension that was starting to show in their performances.
The other one was not being able to pile extra pressure on yesterday when they were 2 down. I wonder if our struggles gave city some impetus to get back into their game in a way they wouldn’t have had if the news got to them that we were several goals up and coasting?
In De Bruyne they have a match turner as devastating as anyone I’ve ever seen in this league. It was he, in his understated brilliance, who dragged them over the line in this run in, but I think they also showed the chinks in their armour in a way that makes me fair relaxed about the challenge of standing up and challenging them again next season no matter who else they buy.

Wonder if Ralph loses his job at Southampton this Summer or if he decides on his own to step away. Reading their season postmortem I’m left with the perception many of their supporters are not at all enamored by the job he’s doing. Ralph himself seems ambivalent about it all. Of course it’s a club with not large resources but the overwhelming sentiment is they should be doing better than they’ve been.
I see that said a lot, but they also are a remarkably unimpressive group of players. Since Poch replaced Adkins, what was now nearly 10 years ago, I don’t think they have ever had a group with fewer legitimate targets for bigger clubs.
