You're right that genuinely would have been about fifty million times worse. Now all the Liverpool fans can go into the final day with a solid "well there's still a chance, even though it's almost certainly not going to happen, all in all it's been a fantastic season, can't believe we're here" posting strategy mix of being both smug and humble at the same time that riles up the whiniest posters.

Let me tell you how this is going to go down:

West Ham will score an early goal, getting all Liverpool fan's attention. But this will soon be forgotten as Liverpool struggle and the game plays out as a 0-0 or 1-1 until the 75th minute, when Liverpool finally gain the lead. Elation and hope will erupt around Anfield, YNWA echoing around the ground as everyone realizes West Ham are still holding City scoreless. Then the 80th minute will hit and City will go on a tear to win 3-1 and Gerrard will collapse in a pile of tears to be giffed and laughed at for all eternity.

After all, there's nothing this season needs more than one last bout of Liverpool hope crushed into oblivion.

Remember 3 weeks ago when there were like 9 teams still in danger or being relegated and we all thought it was gonna come down to the last day? That went south REAL fast huh

I'm actually pretty confident this is exactly what is going to happen, except City will score during garbage time.

Don't want it, I'd rather the squad focus on regaining CL football next season without the distraction of Thursday night away trips to FC Tractor Norilsk.

I'd like it but Pardew is almost certainly staying. He'll just get sacked at the start of next season if it goes badly which is a mistake imo, get a new manager in now so they've the whole summer to get the team how they want

They could suffer the same post-Lukaku shite that we've had to put up with. Although it's likely that Everton don't have a retard in charge and will actually buy a half-decent striker to replace him.

They've got to find someone to play in the Barry role who's even half as good, you saw how they missed him against City.

They have two pretty talented players leaving their squad due to their loan spells wrapping up and they'll be competing in the Europa League again. Their current squad depth doesn't look like it can handle the increased match congestion, which was the same problem both them and Swansea had when they tried to compete in both the League and Europa. More injuries, more fatigue, etc, etc...

Plus, there's the off chance the owner will want to cash out on Barkely or Baines while still keeping a cap on buying players.

Someone like Barry, maybe? He's out of contract this summer and all signs point to him signing for Everton.

Ya but everyone knew Arsenal would collapse. Its arguably more reliable than the Scouse boom/bust cycle. Was doubly over when Ramsey died again.

villa, palace, and sunderland, yeah. chelsea definitely blew it against the lower tier teams, which is disappointing.

chelsea conceded the fewest goals in the league, but they couldn't score enough in the games that mattered. third in total goals, first in goals allowed, but just not good enough overall. excited to see next year at least.

yeah they were significantly better against the top four than they were against the bottom of the league, which is just dumb. they played to the level of the opponents, which obviously did not end well.
