If I did what Mendy did before the Chelsea goal when playing with my mates I would have had to buy beers for whole team. You don't see such poor communication often on highest football levels. City is looking good when going forward but they look quite unsure when the ball is around their box. Should be good second half I hope.

Today is the day we celebrate @LFC_Bitcoin and all LFC fans

LIVERPOOL!!!!!!!!!!

[Trofo]

Let me be the first one to congratulate Liverpool and plethora of Liverpool supporters here in our pool. Enjoy it guys you deserved it after 30 years.

 And next match on City stadium so they have to honour you with the guard, what could be better.

Edit: second one, but that one from bitcoingirl.club doesen't count since he chose green colour instead of red. That is only excusable if you are drinking heavily

Since 1990 man! @Toke Trofo

So, finally it's official. Congrats to @LFC_Bitcoin, @BitcoinGirl.Club, @buwaytress and other Liverpool fans here. Well deserved! You've been waiting for this moment for so long and it's finally here.
I suppose it would be more fun to win trophy on the pitch than in this way, but probably it doesn't matter

We (Chelsea) did what we know how to do best, last time Liverpool where close to winning the title we took that away from them. Next was our draw against Tottenham to end the hopes of them competing for the title as a late Eden hazard equalizer drew the game 2-2. Few moments ago we just finalize the league by ending Manchester city's hope. Congratulations Liverpool, champions of Europe and now champions of England.

United fans all over the globe were supporting Manchester City not because they wanted them to delay Liverpool title celebration but just because they want to shorten the gap Chelsea are giving them in regards to the top 4 position.  Sorry to disappoint them but they're not champions league material and it would take city's misfortune for them to get a spot that's if city appeal was to be unsuccessful.

Never watched a watch as entertaining as this in quite a while.

Congrats to all the LFC fans out there !
Is this going to be a new era of Liverpool dominance of the EPL ?
It took Ferguson 7 yrs to win his first EPL title, it’s taken less than 5 for Klopp. The crown belongs to Klopp and I’m sure it will remain that way for several years to come !!

[buwaytress]

I lost my Chelsea bet, since I parlayed with a La Liga match that didn't go my way (yes, very dumb but that's me) but hey, hey hey!

@Brainboss yes, this is poetic, you took it away, and you giveth -- but to be fair, I'd have loved to beat City at our next meet up and rip the crown away from them;) Still, a guard of honour at the Etihad from the past Champions will be something to savour!

@LFC_Bitcoin: so when is Merseyside going to go party? I have to make plans, but seeing as I'm stuck for a while!

@LTU, Trofo, Pam woohoo! I first supported Liverpool in 1999 so it was 9 years of drought already then, and I had to watch very painful periods of United dominance, Spice Boys ending, and heartbreak after heartbreak. We had the best times of our lives too though, the 2001 haul of 5, the Istanbul miracle, still the best day of my life (early morning 5am it was for me though), that Gerrard FA cup final, and of course last year's 6th capture of ol' Big Ears.

Here's to all the heroes over the years when we tried but didn't win it, I know from social media you all still remember us: Houllier, Rafa, hey even you Rodgers, and just so many names flashing through my mind now.

This is how long we have waited!

It is a really emotional video, especially for the generations that maybe lived through a similar story.

When I remember how close we were on some occasions, it truly is a relief to have finally won it.

Let it be the first of many.

I was so close to the 1-1 draw and I was the only one who went for it. Those ones sting the most. Was a great game though. Walker's clearance off the line was incredible. No idea how he kept that out. De Bruyne's world class free kick and Fernandinho's great save  . I'm sure he could have kicked that instead of hand-balling it.

I wonder if Liverpool will change things up now and give some usually benched players a game or carry on as usual. I think they can still go for a point record but will have to win pretty much all their remaining games. It could be done but now the pressure is off I'm sure they might drop some points. They're playing City away next week as well.

Congratulations Liverpool! 

Now the The Chapions League trophy and that’s it!


Will there be a celebration in Liverpool at the end od the Premiership season or will be some restrictions due the covid shit?
I will be near Liverpool in two weeks from now, and as a supporter it’s a great lifetime opportunity for me to be a part of this great moment

The city council stated today that Liverpool will get their parade, but when it is safe to do so.

Considering the situation at this point and fears of the 2nd coronavirus wave incoming, I kind of doubt it will be soon. One can hope though..

Not this season unfortunately

I can't see that happening anytime soon if they won't even let fans in stadiums, but tens of thousands of people have been going to the beaches recently during the heatwave were currently having so I don't think this would be any different than having a parade. They should probably wait till the end of the season though. It's a shame City didn't win the game really as Liverpool play City next so it would have been good to give them the trophy there if they managed to get a point from the game. Still, with no fans it might be a bit of a let down.

[cryptofrka]

Regarding the Liverpool parade - this is a must watch

Nothing is as good as this one. Brilliant

[tomahawk9]

reminder: the next round starts tomorrow. Same with the FJ Majestic7, in case anyone here is following this promo 

next matchweek kinda sucks, doesn't it? one match per day until Wednesday...any reason why the EPL did this? trying to give the teams a small break perhaps?

I wonder if Liverpool will change things up now and give some usually benched players a game or carry on as usual.

perfect time to start experimenting with lineups, tactics, and also give the entire squad plenty of minutes in the next 7 games...would like to see the youngsters playing together again (Elliott, Curtis, Minamino, van den Berg), i think the last time we saw them was against Aston Villa (5-0 Villa)
