Liverpool finish with 97 pts....3rd most points in a season PL history....on average they would have finished 17pts clear of 2nd place over the last 27 years, they would have finished above 25 title winners by an average of 12 pts.....come in 2nd....The pool supporters are going to be fucking bitter as hell....

Looking like 100 points will be the norm for a title win which is pretty crazy.
I think it will be awhile before we see 1 team, let alone 2, challenge 100 points.

I think next season, the top-6 will take more points off each other than this year. City and Liverpool were simply a cut above this year.

I don't know that it will be the norm.

This season you had City coming off 100pts and still having an exceptionally strong team, Liverpool hitting the mark on their squad and then United collapsing under Mou and then again under OGS. Chelsea and Arsenal were both in the first season with their managers and Spurs spent £ 0.00 to improve the team.

Seems a sort of perfect storm for the top 6 to finish the way it did, not sure you will see that similar a set up on a frequent basis.

Listening to talksport its weird hearing Darren Bent refer to Arsenal as "we" "if we don't win the Europa league" hes an Arsenal fan which is fair enough , nothing wrong with it just sounds odd lol

Better not rip the piss out of Liverpool too much just yet.
Not until we win the CL.
Christ I cant believe its either us or them that will lift it.
Stuff of dreams and nightmares at the same time.
Could only be worse if it was Arsenal or Chelsea.
Very true. Save the jokes. Lots to be done yet.

Could perhaps start a "Racist abuse in football" thread but will leave this here for now. The doctor abused used to be part of our staff.

Disgusting, and from a little child too.

Crystal Palace have condemned the "disgraceful" incident in which a club doctor was racially abused before the Eagles' win over Bournemouth on Sunday.
Dr Zafar Iqbal said on Twitter he was left "devastated and speechless" after he and two of his children were called "Pakis" by a three-year-old.

He's been round the block that fella, was at Liverpool as well iirc.

You can't really blame a child of that age imo, moronic parenting most likely to blame.
In the article the doctor says that the parent "attempted to scold him", but that the kid even knows the word and uses it in that manner is a horrid reflection on his environment.

The blame is on the people who taught the kid that word.

Publicly condemning an incident involving a three year-old? I honestly find that quite ridicilous. Not because I don't take racism seriously, but because I don't take what three year-old's say that seriously. (Of course it is sad that he has learned it, somehow, but then that is the sad thing, not his repetition of it.)

Reminds me of this (alleged) Millwall supporting 5yr old from a few yrs ago. Mum actually laughing and then someone obviously shared it thinking it was hilarious.

Was that child born knowing that word?
