Congrats on the win fellas! Well deserved. How many more to 18?

Unfortunately we’ll just have to settle for our 6th Champions League trophy.

A despondent Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said it will take "a long time" for Manchester United to challenge for the Premier League title again, and asked MUFC supporters to set realistic goals.


The new manager of United just said they can't compete with City so please don't expect them to.

Beautiful

One more match until the Treble. Unbelievable last few seasons and winning the FA Cup would solidify this as the greatest team EVER in the EPL. It's not even close.

Agree.

I know I've mentioned it on here before, but I have a running bet with a buddy of mine who is a United supporter. If one of our teams wins the league, the other buys the winner a jersey of his choosing. The jersey has to come from the official team shop and it always the highest end jersey with all of the badging. If no team wins the league, then no one buys.

We added another friend, who is a Liverpool supporter, to the bet this year. The United guy is buying me a Bernardo away jersey, but the real enjoyment comes from making the Liverpool guy buy me a Sterling home jersey.

Manchester City's title winners have been filmed mocking Liverpool by appearing to sing a vile song referring to Jurgen Klopp's side as 'victims' and their fans being 'battered on the streets'.

Ilkay Gundogan, Kyle Walker and Vincent Kompany are among the City players who can be seen passing around the Premier League trophy as they celebrate beating Liverpool to the league title, while chanting to the tune of the famous Kop song 'Allez, Allez, Allez' can be heard.

On the plane after their 4-1 victory over Brighton they appear to sing a song chanted by City fans this season: 'All the way to Kiev, To end up in defeat, Crying in the stands, And battered on the streets, Kompany injured Salah, Victims of it all, Sterling won the double, The Scousers won f*** all, Allez, allez, allez.'



quote:

The 'battered in the streets' lyric seemingly refers to attacks on Liverpool fans in Kiev ahead of last year's Champions League final against Real Madrid.

However Liverpool fans have been quick to condemn the chant on social media, and have accused the City players of singing about Sean Cox, who was left fighting for his life after being attacked by a Roma supporter prior to a Champions League semi-final first-leg clash last season, in April 2018. One fan wrote: 'City players singing about Sean Cox nearly dying. Classy.'

Another said: 'Imagine winning the league and singing about a fan of another team almost dying and being in a coma.'

While another put: 'Song about a fellow pro getting injured and a Liverpool supporter being put in intensive care? This song's bad enough when it's sang by the fans. Classy. Real classy.'

The allusion to 'victims' could refer to Liverpool fans' longstanding search for justice after the Hillsborough disaster in 1989 in which 96 supporters died.


The victims are back at it, offended by everything ashamed of nothing LFC

I am so lost on how they conclude that a song about them losing in Kiev to Real, which is clear as day, would randomly reference something that happened in a completely different city in another country without a clear distinction.

I just think it’s fricking hilarious that a side that has had pretty much no European success is singing a song about another club that has had way more European success including beating them last year

I mean I get that

I like the song and think it’s funny, but it isn’t the staple song of the club or anything. The supporters group up here only every sings it if Sterling scores, which I think is fine since he was once a Pool player and won more more trophies single handedly last year than Liverpool has this decade.

Had Pool not lost in hilarious fashion and not cried bloody murder about Ramos no song would have ever been created. Another loss, another excuse. Why not poke fun at it

It's not like City fans stole a song from Celtic.

Maybe if you keep winning you'll have more fans than Celtic
