Will you be venturing down to Wembley to watch your beloved Coventry contest the final of the much vaunted Checkatrade Trophy? First final in many a year for Blues fans, you better go and watch them!
Yeah I will, taking my old man as well. He's 60 today and hasn't been there for 30 years so it's something to look forward to after yet another dismal season - they are heading down to League 2 now (the first founding PL member to drop that far). Fucking Sisu wankers.

BTW it's Sky Blues, mate :D

Hey, I've bashed him before it was cool ya
I'm sure you have and for completely different reasons too compared to these pundits. They just love the narrative that every foreigner not doing as expected there is because PL is so superior to every other league. You know like Bravo not being able to deal with those crazy good PL crosses.

I think it just shows Liverpools issues go beyond the manager. We are the fifth highest spenders in the league so theoretically we should finish about fifth. But we suck at transfers so we finish worse. If you look at the roster change since Kenny, we haven't had a truly world class player other than Suarez.

Says a lot about our recruitment policies. Also, I think if you look at Klopps first couple of seasons at Dortmund, his record is very similar as to what it is at Liverpool.
I think there is a real premier league trap that Arsenal suffer and now to a lesser extent Liverpool suffer. You make so much money even when your team isnt the best, you become comfortable with top 4 finishes.
Not to say it isn't an achievement but there is less urgency to be the best.

When was the last shrewd signing by a premier league top 6 team? It's just 40ml pounds here and there for above average players.
Liverpool have spent so much time not winning the league that there would need to be a complete overhaul in culture for it to happen now.
