Spurs would have been one of the games he saw them dropping points...
We just need to focus on our part.
The rest will take care of itself.
And we will have to enjoy being runners up.

You’d think City would batter Utd, but, it’s a derby, so anything could happen. Utd are at home. Utd are just off the back of a humiliating defeat and will be desperate to appease their fans.
Can’t see them getting battered by city and could easily sneak a draw. Can’t see them winning though.

Nah, they've just given him a 3 year contract. They can't not give him at least 2 windows out to bring new blood in. Both Jose, Ole, and Gary Neville know there's a huge mentality problem at the club which needs fixing and it was obvious to anyone who saw the first 45 minutes today. They couldn't give a fuck.
That's a relief because I don't think he's the man to fix anything there. I didn't realise it was 3 years, surely he was desperate enough to take one or two.
They were talking about his contract length on the radio & loads of people were saying three years is ridiculous.
Simon Jordan was on & said he guesses that there's a one year termination clause, cited a few clubs who've used it. It means you can give a long contract basically for media & signing new players to see stability, but in terms of finances the club can let them go as cheaply as if it were a one year contract. Added it only works if the manager hadn't got loads of power/isn't a big name, but obv in this case you'd guess it would be easy for them to get him to sign that.
Personally I think they're using him as a fairly cheap stopgap, they've said that they won't have their DoF in place for a year or two so I don't think that they'll splash serious cash on a manager before then.

Utd were a shambles today, worst I've seen of them since LVG/Moyes
However on their day Pogba Rashford Martial & Lukaku are capable of causing any sides problems like we saw at PSG and against Spurs.
But I just feel the atmosphere at the old toilet will be so flat because they know in the back of their minds, if they galvanize their side to a win we'll have our best chance to win the league in 30 years

I quite like listening to Simon Jordan, it's rare to have someone with his perspective on the radio. I've heard him go hard in interviews a few times too.
That'd make sense cos Solksjaer looked like he'd crawl over broken glass for the job, no club is that stupid.
Yeah, it's weird, cos I disagree vehemently with many of his views & opinions, but he does tend to open up about a great deal more than most football people & isn't afraid to talk about business decisions taking priority over footballing ones without dressing it up like you so often hear of, & he also tends to name other owners & clubs without fear as examples of certain things.
Can’t decide whether to watch it or not.
Can’t see anything but City mauling them. Their approach will drag Utd all over the place and they don’t have the decipline or heart to work that hard.
For those thinking it’s the derby and they’ll be up for it. I don’t think it’ll matter one bit when one side is so vastly superior. We did it in 13/14 cruising to 3-0 and could have been 5 or 6.
Having said all that stranger things have happened in football but City will have to have an off day and a number of Utd players especially DDG have the game of their lives.
It would nice to see City not take the lead inside 15 mins for a change.

They've lost 6 out of their last 8?? Bloody heck that's woeful
Aye sad but true. It comes to something when have to rely on Burnley to get a result over fucking Utd! Oh well
Considering he started with 6/7 wins in a row he’s already done.
I hope he stays for years!
So happy Poch didn’t go there
I'm the same.
Klopp was asked about the importance of the Manchester derby and he took the opportunity to take a pop at United.
"It [the derby] is not something we can influence, and it does not look like United are in a place to, either," Klopp quipped to Sky Sports after beating Cardiff City 2-0. "What was the [United] score today? 3-0, 4-0, to Everton?"

We will be 3 or 4 points clear after next weekend games..
City will either get beat or draw against UTD and draw against Burnley
There I said it...
1 win in the remaining games could then seal the title. However we will draw against Newcastle, sending this site into meltdown, particulary the Anti Rafa brigade..
Threads will appear.. we have blown it, Sack Klopp (for fielding a weakened side), Rafa is a cunt, etc etc
However we will then proceed to win the title on the last day of the Season at home to Wolves, winning it by 1 or 2 pts..

I don't know whether to watch it. I don't know whether to wear my lucky socks & do my usual Liverpool match watching routine & whether it will help, never tried wearing the lucky socks specifically for a citeh match.
We know there's a slim chance Brighton or maybe Leicester could take points off them, but let's face it, if they beat Utd then psychologically they'll have a huge advantage & it's hard to imagine them fucking it up afterwards.
Will you be watching? And more importantly, should I wear my lucky socks if I watch?

I just don't see this one playing out well. My hopes are pinned on Leicester. Leicester are an excellent team on the break, have a few excellent defenders and some class in midfield and up front. As we know ourselves, they're capable of doing something and I'd be made up not just for us, but for Rodgers if he helps us deliver what he narrowly missed out on in 2013-14.
United- they're gutless and rotten at the core. Cannot see anything other than a comfortable victory for City.
