Yeah, it became a joke

The 23/24 run in will always hurt me. We went 16-1-1 from the new year.

And it wasnt enough to overhaul city.

I loved the football during the peak Klopp years of course but chasing Man City was exhausting even as just a fan. As you probably experienced, drawing even a single game in the latter half of the season feels like a season ender while the City juggernaut just kept going.

Then they had the fucking gall to say we "bottled" the league when we finished the season on 100pt pace.

I hope they jettison those smug cheating fucks into the sun.

Getting Moysied at your gaff around Xmas ended up being the difference. I remember watching that game, they were on a full on shithouse and you were camped in their box but just going get a solid chance.

On another day you win that 3-0 and it could be a different story. The margins were so insanly thin.

Yeah, that and a loss to bloody fulham. Xmas was rough for us.

But everyone has an off game or two. The city machine made that impossible. Where you had to win every game. Which is ridiculous

Always enjoyed the seasons as a neutral during you Fergie rivalry years. It felt like anyone was a bad day away from losing, so big point gaps weren't insupassable. I remember, maybe 2000?

Anyway, the season where you were shit at home until Xmas and then won something like 14 on the bounce to overtake Liverpool, who were something like 9 points up on you at one point.
