I done tell una since.

All the Wilder and Joshua fans know say Fury is the best, na sentiment make them talk otherwise

A40, Airmark, put that in your pipe and smoke it!
A40:
No. He got away with it because Ortiz's ass was too old. You really think Wilder would have escaped with that strategy whatever it was with a younger fighter?

It's not even about avoiding but more about utilizing your dominance at any point of the fight. I'm encouraged by what I saw from AJ today so whether Ortiz is technically and fundamentally better is moot. He doesn't possess the power to press home his advantage. Plus he's really not fought anybody if we are keeping it a buck bat Wilder

I would rather AJ faces Wilder than Fury. I've seen lesser fighters wobble Wilder too many times. None of them possesses AJ's power
Be like Ibime has started drinking Sapele water again. This was me after the Ortiz fight.

If I believed AJ could kpokpo him then how much more Fury

I watched the documentary about Fury's family ligfe in the build up to the fight.

AJ was on video call asking for a fight cheesy
This fight should be easier to make. Monster payday. For all the marbles

AJ has no story again. His camp must make this fight happen. AJ has nothing to lose and no unbeaten record to protect and everybody expects him to lose anyway

We want AJ vs Fury now. No more stories

A third fight between Fury and Wilder would be silly at this point. The streets already agree you lost the first fight, and then you got soundly beaten in the second.

AJ vs Fury next por favor

These boys I am seeing are not ready. I can easily see us struggle vs Chelsea.

We have an annoying habit of losing intensity in the 2nd half any serious side will punish us for that
We played down to the competition. I won't overreact based on this game.

However I still think we are one of the most wasteful outfits in Europe and we are always good to concede a goal or two, this is what worries me

Man, stop that emotional blackmail stuff - it aint gonna work here.. If you believe gender is fluid, go ahead and believe for yourself. The issue is trying to emotionally bully and recruit other people into your beliefs. We know what has happened to people who tried to speak their minds on this issue - see how they dealt with Tim Hardaway. The LGBTQIA+ (they are still adding letters o grin ) that are forming victim are the people trying to convert everyone else instead of live and let live.

It is one thing to respect other people's beliefs like LBJ, CP3, Melo etc will do as businessmen and icons. This is not the case with Wade, - there seems to be a genuine seed of confusion that has been planted in this man, to where even his own identity is now transforming.

And we know how the media, especially Hollywood likes to make black men pay the price for fame and access - preferably by denying their masculinity. This is what appears to be going on here. I hope Wade has enough real friends and family to help him find himself in the web of lies that he is struggling with - his wife wont do it. The primary lie is that he needs to accept nonsense to keep his fame and status. Real success comes from God, not men. And somebody needs to remind him!!

85% of Liverpool's EPL opponents did not qualify for UCL.

If only 15% of Liverpool's EPL opponents are good enough to compete in UCL, it explains the sudden drop in win percentage.
Me I'm just waiting for anybody to show me the team that won the CL and League unbeaten.

Everyone knows the quality of Competition in league vs Europe is not comparable. Heck Pep has won 5 league titles but cannot buy a CL Final appearance since 2012. What other proof do you need

Greatihex:
how do you think Chelsea would have won 25 out of 26 when they had a Liverpool, arsenal and Tottenham that was strong enough to at least take some points from them?
I recall Ancelotti's debut season at Chelsea. He beat Chelsea, United and Tottenham home and away. Why didn't they take points off Chelsea?

If Carlo was consistent against the smaller teams he would have challenged for the record Liverpool have set now. So your theory is pure Okoto.

Greatihex:
How do you think Chelsea would be topping with 22 points when they had a Tottenham and City that could amass much points as to not be 22 points behind?
Alaye I no dey for your salaye. Show me a season 3 teams have totaled 90 points to affirm your theory

Chelsea never played to the level Liverpool is playing now so how do they amass the points required to be ahead

Greatihex:
I don't think you really understand the argument.
The argument is not about whether Liverpool would have won in any other season or not, but that the form and point gap wouldn't have been what it is for Liverpool today, if the other team were not shit this season.

Period! I am done with this argument.
You're the one that doesn't understand your argument. Liverpool has been better than the competition. Whether the point gap is high or low is moot. There is no version of Chelsea in the last 5 seasons that would not be 15 points behind Liverpool now, same for United and Tottenham and Arsenal.

The competition is not why Liverpool have not lost enough points. After all they have built a large enough lead to be complacent like they got last season. The teams could be weak and Liverpool could have still lost 2 or 3 matches

Greatihex:
now you are sounding funny with the bolded.

Do you think it is impossible to have another team with a good form? That when City and pool are amassing points, the other team will not amass points too?
Good form yato si historical form. It's not possible to have more than two teams play at such a high level. We have not seen it before and it's not by accident

Greatihex:
Now, let us take the season conte won the league with Chelsea for example.

Don't you think that Chelsea would have also run away with the league if Tottenham and Manchester City didn't put up any kind of challenge?
Arsenal and Liverpool were also having a team that is strong.
Chelsea would have ran away with the league if they won 25 of their first 26 matches. Period

What part of the bar has been raised too high do you not understand?

I have shown you that City's best performance in the last 110 years is the only result that will be within 10 points of this Liverpool so what Okoto meow challenge are you talking about?


Greatihex:
In short, if you think that there is no way another team would have been as strong as Liverpool and City last season in the league, then there is no point having this argument, because you have decided to throw your reasoning away just because you think that I am hating on Liverpool and you want to do anything to defend them.
There is no way. And if there is the sensible thing would be to show me instead of yarnin all this Okoto meow kutukutu meow skrrrrrrrr skrr

Since you started watching EPL which year have you seen 3 teams finish on 90 something points.

whew! ok. I thought it was just me that noticed the shift. I think his wife's leanings are rubbing off on him too - he is getting involved in things the old dwade would not care for. I wonder if his good friends LBJ, CP3, Melo will say something - seriously though, how do you talk to a friend brother about something like this? Or do you just keep quiet and move on.
It's one thing to come out and say your erstwhile Son now identifies as Tran and show your support privately. This man's is literally going on tour hitting every media outlet there is and just doing too much.

Liverpool have been losing games in Europe and not losing in the league

The league opponents are posting points haul which is the lowest in recent years
We've seen that it is historically impossible to win both in Europe and the league. No team has ever done this so why do you expect it from Liverpool?

But the gap between the 3rd and the 15th is arguably the closest it's ever been. Nobody has had an answer for Liverpool same way nobody had answer for Pep not long ago

I swear any time a40 says that I get irritated.. He just keeps saying even if you put all the best teams in history together with Liverpool in the league they will be still be 20+ points ahead like it's actually angels playing for them.
The stats don't lie. We are seeing the best run in history of English football.

Pick a year, any year, the gap in point total would be insurmountable because no team has ever been as consistent

man city hit 98 points last season with just liverpool as competition and pool get up with them. what do you think would have happened if the league last season had 2 other liverpools at that level?

you just making it sound like Angels are playing for liverpool and that whatever level the other teams would have been at; liverpool will still top everyone with 22 points.

No
How many seasons have we ever had two teams playing at such high level? We are talking of a season where the second placed team would have won the title in all but two seasons in England history so what do you mean by two other Liverpools at that level?

It is not possible for 3 teams to produce that kind of form over the course of a season

At this point you will be forgiven for thinking angels played for them. Stop fixating on the point for the umpteenth time and realize that there is no form any of the contenders would be on that would be good enough

Liverpool is unbeaten they are 25-1-0 They only have that ridiculous stats because they are playing weak opponents in the league

That is the point
I honestly don't buy that argument. This time last season they had only lost one game narrowly.

They have gotten better and the league at its strongest has no bearing on the total points Liverpool would have amassed. If it were merely about the league being weak then Liverpool could still have dropped more points. A weak league does not prevent the odd freak result from happening

A team can be the best and still have easier opponents

Usain Bolt can be the best and still face a weak field, they are not mutually exclusive

Liverpool would probably be topping most league this season but I doubt they will have a 25popints advantage over any league this season

Even in previous seasons in the EPL I doubt this would happen
So what really is the gripe? Is it the points gap?

If it is then you guys are facing the wrong issue, the emphasis should be on the form of Liverpool and not the perceived failures of the other teams.

This is not a scenario where the rivals would be challenging if they were at their best. Even at their best they would still all be behind Liverpool by some margins. So it doesn't matter at all

What we should be praising is Liverpool's form

The same metric EPL fans used to tag a league farmers league is what I am using

When Spain was dominating the entire CL and Europa that didn't stop EPL fans from calling it a farmers league

I am giving Liverpool their credit but putting in context that their lead wont be this much if other teams were decent

Let me ask, WIll Liverpool be topping by 25 points if other teams are not having a horrible season?
Well I didn't agree then so why should I tow that line now?

If you agree that you don't reason like the average EPL fan then why use the same metric they use instead of just acknowledging the team in question is just the best at that point in time

When teams in their best season in history would have still been 7-15 points behind this Liverpool then why are we fixated on any season they are having now when we have already established that even their best will not be good enough

Their form is useless. They are literally facing Thanos after he got all 6 infinity stones

Germany Italy and even Spain were called farmers league by the same EPL fans fighting tooth and nail when we call the EPL a farmers league even when those leagues were doing well in the CL


A league with a a 25 points gap can only be a farmers league following the EPL fans logic. How can a league be won by December
Doesn't mean we have to stoop to their level and not give credit where it's due
