This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Interesting Argument: Who had better season City v Liverpool by spade

Liverpool fell 1 point shy of the League title but came back from last year's defeat and won a Champions League Title. Also, the way they came back from 3 down to Barcelona in the semis, I'd probably give the nod to Liverpool.

The interesting thing is, I would bet the average City and Reds fan would gladly swap hardware this season. Liverpool seems obsessed with winning the League and while City won everything domestic, what Pep really wanted is the Champs League.


A further twist, who had a better season, Chelsea or Spurs? I think in this case, each fan from Chelsea and Spurs, would be happy with how their season progressed.
The pundits will say hardware is hardware but ask Liverpool would have been a stronger building block for their current season success, coming back from last year's CL final defeat or building on Europa if they had hypothetically won the Europa League last year?
