Seems after so many years of not winning fans are scared of one more year of the same. For that reason some can't enjoy Liverpool being top.
We've been close a few times over the last 28 years and blown it, so you can understand the pessimism.
On paper City have the better team/squad and more resources, so they should win the PL and we should not even be really challenging, let alone leading the PL, luckily football is not played on paper

City cannot affect us, we do not play them, all we have to do is match/better their results, they cannot get 100 points anymore, we can!
