He probably makes a fair point about Ranieri's post LCFC jobs but his slagging off of our PL win smacks of jealousy considering how long it is since LFC won it.

 

 

The bloke is a bit thick to be honest. Just listen to him co-commentate on BT. Talks utter nonsense.

It was a "fluke season" in some ways because one of the "top 3/4/5/6" didn't win it, and a team rated at 5000/1 did.

 

But it wasn't a "fluke achievement" to win it and certainly not to do so by 10 points.

The only thing which was a fluke in that season, which was nothing to do with us, is that all the big boys were off it all at the same time.

I think you're getting Steve McMahon and Steve McManaman mixed up.

B*llcks

Don't really care what anyone thinks, we all know what we achieved.

 

Let them all be salty, the salter the better.

What will be remembered is our stunning achievement and not the thoughts of some has been footballer as a pre match filler on the LFC subscription channel. 

[gerrytaggart]

Just google best ever sporting achievements.   You certainly wont find any info on Steve Mcmahon.

[RonnieTodger]

We actually racked up more points than the '99 treble winning Man United side.

The whole league kind of shows it too. It's largely forgotten that Southampton came 6th, West Ham 7th, Liverpool 8th, Stoke 9th and Chelsea 10th all happened.

 

Stoke finishing above Chelsea is

The "big 6" having a shocking season doesn't take away from the fact we were clearly the best team in England for the duration of the 15/16 season.

 

We could only beat what was in front of us, and we did.

 

The fact that the nearest side to us was Arsenal in 10 points says it all. 15 points ahead of Man City and Man United, 21 points ahead of Liverpool and 31 ahead of Chelsea.

 

Us being the best team in the league is what won us the title. No "fluke".

That isn't totally true either. Plenty were telling us all how Tottenham were amazing in that run-in.

 

Still can't get over Souness' team of the year

Well yeah only Spurs were playing well and you could argue that it was only really after that season that people started calling it a big 6.

 

Spurs winning the league would still have been a massive underdog story.

“You didn’t turn up,

We used all our lu-uck.

Champions Of England,

And the drugs helped, too”

 

Nailed it ?

[TheSomersetFox]

Chelsea were shit but they still had a squad containing Hazard, Costa, Fabregas and the like. City were well under par but they still had the likes of Aguero, David Silva etc. We still shouldn’t have been anywhere near that title no matter how badly the big sides underperformed.

[whoareyaaa]

We was the better team over the 38 games we won it fair and square.. all this talk is just plain rubbish our players wanted it more than the other 19 teams.

[fraddonfox]

The season every team were supposedly under par, except us, Liverpool reached the Europa League final and Man City reach CL semi final. Obviously, most teams in Europe had a off season!! Pundits?? Idiots, the lot of um! 

[Mike Oxlong]

For many seasons the PL was a two horse race between Man Utd and Arsenal.

 

Oddly, we don’t hear the pundits diminishing the achievements of either of those sides.

That's weirdly not the one I remember though that is equally hilarious. No Mahrez or Kante  who was it who put 9 Spurs players in theirs?

Must have been Jenas. 

[Ted Maul]

Christ, imagine putting Eric Dier above Kante in any season, never mind that one. 

 

He really hated us winning it, it was glorious watching him having to give us praise with that vein in his temple going mental.
