if you can’t understand the difference between nearly being relegated and being in the relegation places for a few months i really can’t help you any further.

Under those chairmen Wenger wouldn’t have to worry about a new stadium, and keeping the team achieving on a minimal budget would he?
Strange you mention that; some how the word “possibility” escapes you, not only that at the time did you know whether or not they would finish 7th? Looking back it’s easy to talk crap when it has already happened.
My problem is with the assertion that he nearly got them relegated. He didn’t. This entire conversation is talking about something in the past so both sides are looking back.

One of those words people just throw about
They are something else going forwards. They’re fearless, exciting. Sure, it leaves them exposed at the back and at some stage that’s going to cost them, but adventous, stylish Football is always a win/win compared to slow sideways pass pass Football.
Klopp has done very well to transform this side in the last 12 months. I don’t think the team they have looks particuarly amazing compared to others on paper, but the way they play, brings out the best in so many seemingly average players into better looking players.

Didn’t you know… we nearly won the title last season and in 2013/14. We were only never in the title race after February, but that doesn’t mean that we didn’t nearly win it.

I can continue the ridicule if you prefer?

There’s different degrees of something nearly happening, nearly is a spectrum, I’ll leave it at that.
It’s simple to play only 36 league games and not 50. You can work with more calm, more focused on the squad and with minor risk to have players out for injury.

Where on the nearly spectrum do you place this nearly then? 0-10 id give it a zero myself.
Its a win/ win for Wenger fans here, If we finish above Liverpool it will be all this talk about Wenger is superior etc etc, but if Liverpool finish above us it will only be because Klopp didn’t have the distraction of European Football.

Can’t believe I’ve been missing out on this thread, lol. All this talk of relegation had me reminiscing about one of @Luca_from_Italy’s famous meltdowns.

What do you think it means ?
I guess we run the risk of getting relegated after yesterday’s game :ozil2::giroud:

Klopp spent a large chunk of the season worrying about being relegated. That really is all there is to this conversation.

Did he tell you that? 
For all you know he might have been pretty confident all along that he’d get them back to the upper end of the table.
Not me, just the media. As late as the end of March he said his team were fighting relegation and couldn’t focus on anything else until they were clear.
His interviews are pretty easy to find on google if you have a few minutes to kill.
