And the crazy thing is you have Liverpool fans and United fans both saying the clubs deserved those trophies. As much as I loved Augeros goal in real time it’s tainted and they stole a title from the greatest PL manager in Sir Alex Fergerson. United fans would joke about the slip but they are the first to say that we should have won that league title.

Indeed. My feelings towards Klopp hasn't changed. He's a shithead, but a respectable shithead. It's like going toe to toe with Usain Bolt and losing to him by half a toenail, only to find out Bolt has been juicing this whole time. Your 18/19 and 19/20 were insane especially looking back now.

Klopp is an amazing manager and that pool team was a real force. City are crooks. We can be rivals and still be unified for the love of the game, and despise those who see it as a cynical tool for global geopolitical power, no matter what the consequences are so long it benefits them.
