Never knowingly owned a giraffe, or dated a pickpocket. All views from my windows are similar.

This exceptional Liverpool team has raised the bar to levels never previously seen before in the history of football.

Between Feb 27 '19 & Feb 24 '20 our record from 38 games was:

W36 D2 L0 - 110pts from 114 in a rolling season.

This level of consistency will never be beaten.

@Saka_army247 You say since 1998 no winners have reached the final in the following tournament, but then acknowledge France did exactly that in 2022.

So if you're going to include them, why only go back to 1998?

Brazil won in 1994 and reached the final in 1998.

Likewise Argentina in 1990.

[Zak Vandalay @SpaceToffee]

@VeritusFootball Yeah I've read it, I understand it, but I just don't agree with it.

If we went back to that era when teams like Germany, Argentina, Italy were hosting all the time - then we'd still probably see the hosts win quite often.

The other factors you mentioned have less relevance.

[Zak Vandalay @SpaceToffee]

@Maps_Welsh Where do you even start with nonsense like this?

So much bullshit in just one post.

Let's just say if City last season had been anything like the City that Klopp faced, they'd have got 95-100 points & Arsenal wouldn't have had a sniff of the title.

They got lucky, that's all.

[Zak Vandalay @SpaceToffee]

@emekamadi171 @AnythingArs_ It's a glorified friendly, that's all.

In the old days they would literally share it for 6 months each if it was a draw.

That should tell you everything about how serious it is.

What proper trophy ever gets shared? 😂

Embarrassing small club mentality to count it as a trophy.

[Zak Vandalay @SpaceToffee]

@VeritusFootball No, you said it was a superpower that's dying - due to a whole range of invented reasons.

But in reality it's more to do with who the hosts are.

The ones that won it were big teams.

These days they share the WC around the other continents more and the lesser teams.

That's it.

[Zak Vandalay @SpaceToffee]

@JPeezy808 All those top European teams are also in the WC - but with the likes of Brazil, Argentina & others added too.

Plus you're often playing in a different continent, like this time.

It can't be harder to win the Euros.

A European team is guaranteed to win that, unlike with the WC.

[Zak Vandalay @SpaceToffee]

@VeritusFootball Yeah, but it's not like hosting is a guarantee you'll win.

France didn't win it in 1938.

Brazil didn't win it in 1950.

Hosting just gives you a better chance of winning, that's all.

[Zak Vandalay @SpaceToffee]

@nanfukajamillah Play?

I don't know what that bullshit was last Saturday, but it wasn't playing.

[Zak Vandalay @SpaceToffee]

@KlyntarCzar @Shamsdale Fair point.

[Zak Vandalay @SpaceToffee]

@Mostly_Infamous @EchidnaArfArf @Math_files Haha yeah probably. 😂

[Zak Vandalay @SpaceToffee]

@gunnerking_14 Gordon Hodgson?

He wasn't black.

[Zak Vandalay @SpaceToffee]

@MisterNMC @Shamsdale Arsenal didn't win the Champions League 144 years ago though.

[Zak Vandalay @SpaceToffee]

@KlyntarCzar @Shamsdale You could have said that at any point in the last decade.

[Zak Vandalay @SpaceToffee]

@monokichangf @mononoprix You can say that about any book - it will either be the best book you ever read, or not.

[Zak Vandalay @SpaceToffee]

@GreatmenArs This has to be satire.

Not even Arsenal fans can be this delusional.

[Zak Vandalay @SpaceToffee]

@Math_files If x = a perfect number

and y = the following perfect number

then you can calculate the next perfect number by:

(y-x)² + 2x

[Zak Vandalay @SpaceToffee]

@EchidnaArfArf @Math_files Nah, I've got this. 😂

[Zak Vandalay @SpaceToffee]

@HopelessBaby Don't be scared... the good times are back!
