That's almost a guarantee regardless. But, it'd also almost guarantee Pep would walk if Juve or PSG offered him enough. That's all he's still at City for; if he's to waste an entire season (probably) repeating his domestic treble, whilst all his immediate rivals play in Europe to lift the trophy he's been missing, purely out of obligation to City, then I've misread his loyalties. He'd walk into either job, still have resources he has now, and a chance to win Big Ears.Not that it would happen but City not competing in the CL next season almost guarantees their winning the league again
I mean, the fact that you're bothered about the chant days later suggests that it did its job.I did think it was a bit rich of them to be singing "you're gonna win fuck all" when Liverpool were going for the league and have a CL coming up, whereas the best that Wolves managed this season is being the least shit club from the midlands

Again though, like you said, not that this would happen.
But how many are saying that because they're not in a position to win it? Check out any of their dozens of fans on forums or reddit and they're all talking about needing to Win the CL next year. Like they were doing about this yearRadio 5 had a load of city fans on after they won the league, and not one of them chose the CL over the league, they are a club with polar opposites in wishes...

I don't think anyone associated with the club is under any illusions that we're world-beaters, but I think a club that was in League 1 not so long ago can be forgiven for being a bit smug that we've finished 7th in the Prem and got within a hair of an FA Cup final, to be fair.

We're extremely proud of our season- in fact, we had a big celebration at Molineux the week before when we sealed seventh. We just knew that we weren't likely to get anything out of the game on Sunday, and it wasn't going to make any difference to the season even if we did, so why not have a bit of fun at the opposition's expense? I know it sucks for you, but it's all part of the give and take- we got plenty of it after the semi-final.You'd think that Wolves fans would be proud of a decent first season back in the PL - but instead they spent the whole time celebrating City winning and singing "sign on" (again), at the end a load of fans tried kicking off with the Liverpool fans in the stadium too. Is just not a mentality I really understand
To beat you 2-0?
No one was chanting about City winning the League to do anything other than get under the Liverpool fans' skin.
Oh yeah and don't get me wrong nothing against Wolves, Europa league all but guaranteed if Watford lose. Plus, got you, Leicester or Everton pegged to climb in the top 6 if the summer is unkind to United or Chelsea.No one was chanting about City winning the League to do anything other than get under the Liverpool fans' skin.
Don't get me wrong, we were well-beaten on Sunday, but it was nice that we got to have a little fun along the way.

Don't get me started on the sign on stuff, though- it's a real embarrassment. I've talked about this on here before, but it takes it past having fun at the other side's expense towards a nasty bit of gloating about poverty (and aside from anything else, no one who supports a team from Wolverhampton has any right to be doing that).
The bar we were at had the Liverpool/Wolves game on one of the TVs on our side and there was certainly a period of time where you all looked good to draw level. The time surrounding hitting the crossbar seemed pretty tightly contested. I wasn't paying much attention for most of the game so maybe it was just a relative blip though. Either way, an amazing season.No one was chanting about City winning the League to do anything other than get under the Liverpool fans' skin.

Well, I don't really know what to say, other than I recognize that we have a load of dickheads in our fanbase.Sure, but I don't think you can look at each chant in isolation - there was a nastiness to the chants from Wolves fans which I haven't seen from other ones for a while - it started with "sign on", then various City songs throughout the game, then at the end when the away fans were let out early a load of them kicked off with the Liverpool ones in the Anfield road end instead of just leaving like any other normal match.

I'd separate out the chants about City from the sign on stuff and the fans kicking off, personally- I think many fanbases might have done what we did in that position for the former, but recognize that some of our fanbase is particularly fond of the latter.
Totally fair enough. Best of luck for Madrid! :)I can only really talk about what I saw in the stadium - outside of this match I hadn't any interaction with a Wolves fan beyond occasional messages on here or r/soccer, so this isn't some grudge I finally have an excuse to moan about or something, just that the fans behaviour on Sunday was among the worst I have seen at Anfield. I think we have probably both covered our POV here though so might be best to just leave it at that!
Another problem with which he had to deal with each season Ronaldo was with his weight. Now he analyzes it from a different perspective: "There are mobilizations for many things, if you are black, if you are gay ... I do not remember anyone defending me when they called me fat, I do not care".
Finally, Ronaldo reveals something more personal. "I had a vasectomy, but I managed to freeze enough sperm to form a football team if my partner wants it," says the former World Champion with Brazil.
Do you mean 2?Teams now get 12 subs for the CL & EL finals. From this year on.
Grealish is a right diving, moaning prick. For that reason, along with the odious John Terry, I hope WBA batter Villa tonight.
Kalvin Phillips had him in his pocket a couple weeks ago. He is a good player but extremely overrated. Superb diver though.According to Villa fans he's just "got the league on strings".
Never seen them manage to explain why even fans of teams he's done fuck all against in a footballing sense think he's a soft prick.
Any time he looks likely to lose the ball he chucks himself into the nearest opposition player and looks towards the referee.

Barf.Spanish media reporting Griezmann just told Atlético he's leaving and will likely join Barcelona this summer
