Re: The OFFICIAL English and European Football (soccer) thread
One league title One European cup A couple of Coca Cola cups An FA Cup We will truly never see Klopps like again The truth is he was probably robbed of multiple league titles by Man City's BS rule breaking and financial doping. They paid £68m for Alisson, £75m for VVD and £85m for Nunez. Get me a v...

Re: The OFFICIAL English and European Football (soccer) thread
Funny how expectations work. Based off last season and the fact they are in a rebuild you'd not expect them to be challenging city almost all the way. Given Klopps announcement, there's a narrative they should give him a big glorious send-off.
