Ellis H Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago Bowen has just been appointed club captain at West Ham. The 0.1% chance of him coming here has gone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone that wins the Champions League and Premier League is going to be a legend, especially after a 20 or 30 odd year wait. They see Rafa as a legend as well. Aye, that’s fair enough.

Which nullifies your point. The fact they won anything while City have bought and broken rules to dominate strengthens his case in my opinion. I grew to detest him but I can’t deny that he’s one of the best managers the league has ever had. The league is less competitive today than ever - Man City just became the first club to win four in a row. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man U may not have won 4 in a row, but between 92/3 and 00/01 they won 7 out of 9 and the two they didn't win they came 2nd by 1 point. They then came 3rd 3 times, 2nd 3 times and won another 6 in the next 12 years! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s just the truth of the matter. However only takes a signing to change it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think the competition for the title is less now than it was in the Man Utd then Chelsea eras (and I guess the Liverpool era before that) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago Yeah fair point, I guess I just always assume Man City will win it so it doesn’t feel as close as it is points-wise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Spaceman Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago It felt less competitive in the 90's if I'm being honest, maybe that was just because I was a child, but you always felt Man Utd were going to win it (particularly 99-01). I think the dilution of the cup competitions has contributed to the feeling that there's fuck all for 18 teams to play for. Nobody cares about the League Cup (unless you're in it) and the FA cup is nowhere near what it was. Who won either cup the year Leicester won the league? Not a fucking clue without googling it.

To be fair I think most people couldn't tell you who won the CL the year Leicester won the league without googling it.

The average Liverpool fan would probably say the only thing that stopped Klopp from winning at least two more titles was City’s rampant cheating.
