Rovers13 Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 (edited) I can kind of see his point. They did well to even get into the title race but at the same time when they finally got into a very commanding position they blew it by losing to Chelsea at home (not long after beating City) and then blowing a 3 goal lead at Palace. It's a bit like the many occasions against United where we've gone 2-0 up and then ended up drawing/losing in the last minutes. Blew it by not finishing on a record winning streak? They likely wouldn't have won it with the palace result anyway, and the only reason they were in it was an insane run.

Maybe the ones you know didn't. But I had a load of holiday requests from the guys in our Liverpool office after the Chelsea game for Monday and the trophy parade. I granted them and I've not let them cancel them 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turnbull Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 They didn't though did they. Maybe the ones you know. Did you not see Anfield after the Man City game? I did and the scenes outside before the game. Made me jealous as fook that we're soooo far away from being in a similar position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 I know a Liverpool fan who has the prem trophy and 'Liverpool 13-14 winners' as a tattoo on his back, done before the Chelsea game (I only found out this week). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They likely wouldn't have won it with the palace result anyway, and the only reason they were in it was an insane run. They could've drew against Chelsea and beat Palace and likely still won it. Losing to that Chelsea team was poor though, they rested basically everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 (edited) Apparently, that clearing in the woods Dyke has said he doesn't want Man City to win, because they don't have many English players in the team? If we are looking at squads (City have 25, so I am using 25 for Liverpool) Liverpool have: Johnson, Sterling, Sturridge, Gerrard, Henderson, Kelly, Flanagan (also Smith, who has been on the bench in the league). City have:Hart, Richards, Lescott, Milner, Rodwell, Wright. Not exactly a huge difference... Guess the 'want' for Liverpool to win is strong. Am I wrong to think this is bloody picky of Dyke?

DiegoD Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 To be fair of Liverpool's best 11, 5 or 6 are English players (not sure if Flanagan is their best lb). While in City's Best 11 you have Hart and Milner gets rotated in a fair bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NurembergVillan Posted May 11, 2014 Moderator Share Posted May 11, 2014 Dyke's solution to Man City having too few English players? Set up b-teams so that the foreign players that don't make the 25 can smash the arse out of the part-time lads in the lower leagues. Cock snot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Con Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 In case anyone wants to informally continue Con's prediction contest: Cardiff 0-2 Chelsea Fulham 0-1 Palace Hull 0-1 Everton Liverpool 3-1 Newcastle Man City 3-0 West Ham Norwich 0-1 Arsenal Southampton 0-1 Man Utd Sunderland 1-1 Swansea Spurs 1-0 Villa WBA 1-1 Stoke Thanks for your enthusiasm. I was going to do a world cup prediction contest and these contests were trial runs. I am interested in a prediction contest for the Premier League next year though. I'd also like to invent a new fantasy league as I think the existing format has gone a bit stale and has deviated from reality. I don't like the fact everyone can buy the same player and make so many changes. I would like there to be a limited number of Suarez. And you you can only sell if someone wants to buy the player off you - like real trading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
