Someone on twitter described it as: If an artist were building the perfect soccer player, they would create Mesi. If an engineer were building the perfect soccer player, they would create Ronaldo.
How about we just appreciate both of them for the greatness that they have. 4/4/2018 2:37:01 PM |

I hope we get a classic Ronaldo show at anfield. Congrats you bus destroying wankers. Enjoy the semi's. Well deserved.
This city team still a team for the ages? I remember the world laughing at Mourinho when we play defensive at anfield. Two matches at anfield and 7 goals conceded by the greatest english football team ever.

I agree with this, nice analogy. I do appreciate Messi, I am just saying Ronaldo slightly edges it. Certainly lucky to have both at the same time.

Looking ahead I think most people would tip Bayern, Barca, and Real to get through as well. That means that Liverpool has to beat 2 of those 3 to lift the trophy. Still a massive task, especially if Barca or Real get drawn in the semi's. 4/5/2018 9:08:02 AM |

It's almost like different teams have different players and different goals in different games that call for different strategies

I see math isn't your strong point. They can't win the title against us. You play on Sunday and they would either need 2 wins barring any united result or 1 win and you drop points the next day to win it.4/9/2018 10:55:19 AM |

Didn't realize you played before us. Its ok spurs fan will eventually get to celebrate in another team's title win, as usual.
Oh and BTW is City still a team for the ages? No CL and FA Cup. League Cup winners beating Arsenal 3-0. Beat West Brom, Wolves, Leicester and Bristol to reach the final.
All they will have to show for at the end is a PL title and a potential record point total. Embarrassing loss to United after being 2-0 up. Couldn't keep up with the fourth best team in England in the CL. Yea this City team doesn't touch the 99 United team or the Arsenal invincibles. Not even close. Perhaps on par with Chelsea's squad under Mourinho's first team but thats about as close they will get to being a "team for the ages."

A long deserved title from a worthy champion. They played the best football from beginning to end.
I wouldn't expect you to know this because it requires basic math but they're still on pace to break the all time points record as well. Are you still going to give it up to them after they have reached your mythical plateau to acknowledge they're an all time team? 4/9/2018 11:20:33 AM |

As a spurs fan I wouldn't expect you to know that United's treble win in 99 and Arsenal's invincibles takes a lot more than what City has achieved this year. So much so that no one has since repeated this in England. Apparently basic math means that City with the league title and EFL cup are the best ever though because they will eclipse the points total by 2 or 3 points while not competing for any trophies in the last 4 matches.4/9/2018 11:26:20 AM |

But being 4 points above you and pool and potentially reaching 89 points means we are the worst football team ever right? You have been spitting so much shit at United all year my it must be frustrating to still not be good enough to beat us over 38 games. I couldn't imagine the amount of bitterness it takes to constantly criticize United despite the evidence pointing to the fact that we are simply better.
In case you didn't know it already, we haven't gotten to this point by being flat track bullies either:
Feels good mayne to hear all the shit this year and still better than 90% of the rival fans spewing it.

Literally from the article:
Quote : | "OK, we’ve been through this many times before, and nothing has changed: What Manchester United are doing isn’t sustainable. The only reason it hasn’t all come crashing down below second place yet is the weekly heroics of keeper David de Gea. So, yes, they’ve conceded the fewest goals in the league this season, but everything we know about goal prevention says that the dam is eventually going to break. The logic is obvious: Good defenses don’t require their keeper to make many saves. And guess what? De Gea has saved more shots than any keeper in the league other than Swansea’s Lukasz Fabianski." |
Guess I am a straw man now. Would be nice chilling on a farm all day watching footy. Obvious logic innit? Should have long been below Liverpool's amazing front three. If only De Gea could stop being so sustainable. If only....

You haven't reached 89 points, and we haven't played 38 matches yet, so what are you on about? I don't hate United, I hate you, don't get those two confused either.
Also it's pretty amusing to see you downplay a club shattering the points record as if a club reaching 102 points is just a meh moment in history of English football.

Quote : | "a club shattering the points record as if a club reaching 102 points is just a meh moment in history of English football." |
Puts them on par with the third best side in English football. Meh moment. You're ready to put them above Arsenals invincibles and United's treble winners.
Quote : | "But if that was United it would be you on here having an everlasting wankfest about the greatest team in the history of the Prem." |
See above, wouldn't even be close to the greatest two teams in the history of the prem. hahahha. I love how simple things like the fact it takes a heck of a lot more determination and talent to do what Arsenal and United's two squads did just passes by you. I mean I know you're desperate for anyone other than Arsenal or United to be considered the best but the fanboi in you is hilarious. I would consider putting on a blue shirt mate, it seems it is everything you wish spurs were.

The article didn't predict Liverpool would be 2nd it predicted they had the 2nd best chances to round out the top 4, behind Spurs and just ahead of United. The 3 teams names most likely to finish top 4 are now very likely to finish top 4, so well done by the author.
It also didn't really predict ANYTHING any more than Vegas odds PREDICT the results of games.
Also you didn't see me getting butt hurt that they gave Spurs a better chance than Pool despite that Pool was ahead in the standings. You were the only one to throw a fit about this imaginary "respect" that you think some sports team deserves
Your goals per game has also jumped up since then (. 69 vs 1.17 since). Small sample size and not a giant change but implies that DeGea hasn't been quote as good. Now he may regressed less than expected but it's still regression m

Wait I'm not really part of this, but if City breaks the points record are you saying you would call them the 3rd best PL team ever, or am I misreading you? If you are saying that, that sounds pretty great to me.

Huge difference between 3rd and greatest team in the history of the prem. There are only two that have a claim to that title and who is better of those two is up for debate among many but after that there is a clear drop off. If you can't compete on all fronts till the end of the season then you simply aren't good enough to claim all time greatness IMO.
