Both teams are playing reasonably well just no breakthrough yet, city still dominating largely, even though Leicester hold the ball so well themselves. The main nervousness is the stadium atmosphere, and it was right from the start.
GET. IN.
Vincent Kompany I love you!!!!
What a finish that was?! 😳
WOOF
Wolves in Europe!! Who’d have thought it? Waited 40 years, honestly never thought it would happen in my lifetime. Really pleased for City,just edged it over Liverpool. Should be a great game at Anfield anyhow. (Edit); all dependant on City beating Watford in the FA Cup. Forgot that little detail!
That’s got to be it done and dusted now. Banana skin avoided. Think I’ll stick a few quid on the scousers losing to wolves on Sunday just to compound their misery. That would just be, like, SOOOOOOOO Liverpool
United though…so was the winning run when Ole took over just the usual new manager bounce?
An ex-player pundit tyoe put it really well - an interim managers job is to keep the players happy, a permanent managers job is to be kept happy by the players. This bunch are happy with the former and utterly opposed to the latter.
City’s defence has won them the league over the past dozen or so games as the goals have dried up. What a hit by Kompany!
Its a sign of the level that both City and Liverpool are playing at that a team can go into the final game of the season on 94 points, win, and yet still not take the title
That is absolutely insane! I can't see anything else other than a two horse race with those two for the next few seasons. They're on a totally different level to everyone else

Providing their managers are not tempted away by other challenges and large bags of cash
I for one am stunned that Chelsea have got into the CL! Given the paucity of quality in the football played this season it’s incredible & really only possible due to how bad Arsenal & particularly Utd have been.

One thing that is clear to me as a city fan, is that this is a golden moment, these few seasons are likely to be the best football I will ever witness my team playing. I expect pep to leave at the end of his current contract. I hope he might be persuaded to stay on a couple more years but I don't honestly think he will.
Pep is clearly a special manager, and it would be virtually impossible to replace him, so I fully expect a dip in form when he leaves, hopefully not a collapse, but I doubt we will ever be as good again. But, maybe we could tempt Klopp at that point 😉

Me too and I'm a season ticket holder (MHL) and have been to my fair share of away games this season (Wolves, Brighton, Liverpool, ManUre, Burnley, Spurs).
We'll take it though.

one of the football shows was saying the same - 97 points would have won the title most years

Here's where they differed. Liverpool have absolutely hit their straps this year but are still some way below City's level in reality. Last night you knew City would find a way in the end, Liverpool are like crossing a wobbly bridge, thrilling but you sense they could fall off at any moment. Van Dijk has clearly made a huge difference but even then you wouldn't put your house on them winning any particular game (but they do, somehow), whereas City, you absolutely would.
And so to make 97 points and still not win - I just can't see them repeating that sort of tally. Yet you look at City's total and you sense that's the sort of number you'll need in the next few years to even run them close. They did 100 points last year, barring a miracle 98 this year........
Leicester won it with 81, fwiw. And were 10 points clear. Liverpool blew it when Gerrard stepped on the ball in 2014 and fell two short with 84. That's how far ahead City are, and Liverpool even being close is an anomaly. A fabulous, nerve shredding one, but all the same.
Good points Jon - Liverpool and the rest will have to hope City’s level declines a bit. Remember they’ve hardly had de Bruyne to call on this season! That said there are some areas of transition that they’ll need to address - Aguero, D Silva and Fernandinho, someone to partner Laporte too longer term, maybe a new right back.
Game on! Liverpool will go 3 up then Messi will score another worldie to finish it off
Or two up and fabinho gets a red card for fighting with canny Suarez.
That’s your fantasy Binners! To be compounded by a 90th minute winner for City on Sunday......maybe from Aguuuuuueeeeerrrrrrrroooooooo?
Crikey!
Double crikey!
Unbelievable!,
Bloody hell Liverpool,
haha, mon liverpool!
Holy shiiiii...
One away goal could break some hearts tonight though.
Come on Liverpool, do it!
😳
Doesn't matter who you are, at this level it's still in the head and Barcelona, Messi and all, are shitting themselves at the prospect of ****ing up a 3-0 lead. And when those thoughts enter the mind, suddenly panic can set in.....and.....
Hmmm true but Messi is from another planet.
I'm not watching but the bars are going mental downstairs. Zero love for Barca in this corner of País Vasco.
Brilliant!
hahahaa beezer!
Wow.
What odds could you get on a Liverpool - Spurs final last week?
😳😳😳😳
Jesus Christ.
brilliant, outstanding liverpool!
Brilliant stuff. Well done Liverpool! Well deserved over the two legs IMO.
Weeksy......I take it all back regarding Liverpool’s reserve forwards!
Got to say as well amid the carnage - Allison was superb.
'kinell !
That was something I wasn’t expecting!! A final against Ajax or Spurs should be a great game for any neutral supporter. Genuinely pleased for the scouse!!
Take a bow gents! Marvelous
Just spent the weekend at Anfield. Took my lad on the tour and buried my mums ashes in the crem overlooking the grounds
Goosebumps for the singing there.
WOW, Just WOW!
Couldn't listen to the last 10 minutes, was expecting Barca to get a freak goal at the death.
