Foster just caught himself in no mans land, J-Rod whacked a shot back in and saved on the line by Dawson. All the ex-Albion action.

News reports say it was Matej Vydra's shot that Dawson cleared. Still works, all former Albion!

They can destroy it. 107 points if they win every game.

Well played the Reds.
Champions of England , Europe and the World.

Iâ€™ve got an irrational dislike of Liverpool FC, so this season is shaping up to be the worst premier league season ever from my perspective.

Still, they have been a great side this season and are a blue print for how the top 6 clubs should be run (ie, throw millions and millions of quid at it, but do it in a sensible way). I expect with the Man City champs league ban, they could dominate for a couple of seasons now.

I for some reason don't like Liverpool either! However, hard to not love Klopp and this team is so entertaining. Fully deserved.

Don't like Liverpool, never have, never will do, especially after being chased around the streets during the 1978/79 game when we lost 2-1, after the enforced bad weather layoff which cost us a top 2 finish that year. If I remember rightly we had 6000 spaces, 3000 tickets 3000 on the gate, but we didn't get in. However, there is no denying the fact that they are deserved PL winners after outplay Ing most teams with decent attacking football, including last seasons effort. So begrudgingly well done to them!

I can think of a reason to dislike him.
Klopp: â€œWest Brom like to keep the ball in the air, so for them, a dry pitch is not an issue. And next year, they will have a dry pitch in The Championship.
I donâ€™t feel that that point will help West Brom massively. It feels like a complete waste of points, they donâ€™t need it, we would have needed it.They are all happy now, we are not happy. We stay in the league, they donâ€™t stay in the league. Itâ€™s kind of a strange situation. A useless comeback."

That was quick, but in hindsight we were in the lower division the following season, and it's a fact we played long ball under Moore in the PL.

When he said it we were still in with a chance. I won about Â£800 on the series of results we needed on the weekend of the Spurs win.

Yep, the bloke's a tool and I can't bring myself to be happy for anything associated with that club.

Yep. Of course we only scored our two goals when it started raining heavily.

I don't particularly like any of the Big 4 in the North West, as I don't particularly like any of the Big 3 in London. They all get too much help from the national media and are all guilty of inflating prices in the modern game. Pity Leicester couldn't quite break the circle again.
I do though think Klopp has brought something different and positive to the game in this country. However, the best thing about Liverpool winning the league is that it means Man United haven't.

You don't need to worry about that for at least a decade.

Liverpool deserved to win the title they are a very good team with a very good coach both of which are at the absolute peak of their powers. Yes added bonus Man United fans will hate this.

As Liverpool haven't won a title in 30 years I should be pleased that there is a new kid on the block. I'm not it was laughable that a club with Liverpool's resources had failed to win a at least one title in that time. The elite still have a strangle hold on domestic competition. Would love someone from outside the usual suspects to have a real tilt at the title like Leicester.

Not sure about that think the premier league is pretty weak at the moment. But they are a good distance ahead of the rest

Baggies · « **Reply #9370 on:** June 26, 2020, 07:10:41 AM »

The mayor of Liverpool was hammered by the Liverpool fans and Liverpool media alike for saying there was a danger of Liverpool fans gathering outside the stadium after a title victory. Awkward.

On a different nite, this season marks 4 years for Pep Guardiola in charge of Man City. Despite having the biggest budget, he has only won the title twice, with Liverpool and Chelsea claiming the other 2, while he has also finished behind Mauricio Pochetino.

He isn't a bad manager, that isn't the point, but it is something to consider when you hear all of the hype about him being by far the best manager in the world. Always has the biggest budget and the best team in his division, but has been out flanked twice in 4 years now when coming into a more competetive environment.

Says it all for me. Purposely did not watch last night as I did not want to see that grinning tool.

Normally I would be quite happy for them, but that man......

Hopefully normal service will be resumed next year.

Liverpool fans were always going to congregate outside Anfield, I canâ€™t believe some even suggested they wouldnâ€™t. Given the pausing of the season and no fans inside the soulless stadiums it is a bit of an anti climax.

Albionic · « **Reply #9374 on:** June 26, 2020, 08:43:16 AM »

I despise Liverpool football club and their fans, I'm indifferent about the manager, I do however have respect for the squad, they play good football and have out performed everyone else, fair play.

The media love in from ex-players and acolytes will be nauseating, the one thing Liverpool has in excess will be rammed down our throats again "their complete lack of class".
