Yeah, I saw it when I was down at the Emirates a few years back and had a look around the museum. It's about half the size of the actual PL trophy. I'm not 100% sure, but I believe Arsenal gave it to Wenger as a gift when he left the club last season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean when he was sacked for consistently finishing in the top five with a top five (at best) squad? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rab B Nesbit Posted April 25, 2019 Author Share Posted April 25, 2019 1 hour ago, Desp said: It'll be interesting to see how Liverpool react if they do end up with 97 points and finish 2nd. Any way you look at it, that is an exceptional season but surely it's one that'll hurt badly. Is it a one-off though, or is it something they can maintain moving forward? Nobody thought City could do what they did last year again, and it looks like they'll get 98 points to follow up last year's 100. That's also with large spells without the likes of Aguero, De Bruyne and Fernandinho. Man City could realistically dominate for the next five or six years, depending on how long Guardiola stays on for. Also, has an English club won the domestic treble before? Fully expect Liverpool to challenge them for the next 5 or 6 years. To miss out on 97 points would be agonising but what progress has been made this season defensively and consistency wise. Most of the squad is at a great age and still a work in progress. A wee trip to Madrid and maybe a trophy threre would soften the blow somewhat too ... . -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they really want the Champions League and make the right signings, I would expect the next few seasons to play out pretty much like this one has on the domestic front, especially if they sign the right players defensively. A lot will also depend on who Real Madrid go for. Van Dijk and Sallah would be the sort of players I expect them to go for this summer as they go through a major rebuild. Liverpool are big and can pay as well as anyone, but Real Madrid are Real Madrid, and they trump everyone in the prestige game.

Derry Alli Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 I'd fully expect players to start looking to leave Liverpool soon enough. Its a short career and another trophy less season (if it happens) will see them want to move on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dons_1988 Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Pogba is possibly the most frustrating player I’ve ever seen. He could be the best midfielder in the world by far. He’s got everything. And yet... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd imagine the game changers like Mane would have several suitors. Fabinho might get a move to Barcelona as a long term replacement of Busquets (although he's not as disciplined in the role SB plays) Theres only one player that would get in City's team and they already overlooked him due to the asking price. I doubt they'd be willing to pay more than that now, you never know though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was tempted to stop reading there. 4 players in the team of the year ahead of Man City players and a front 3 combination that score ridiculous numbers of goals answers your last claim. Van Djik will be at Liverpool for many years to come . -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
