2John Cross, Daily Mirror: I dont agree with that at all. I do think theres a feeling Liverpool would be an amazing story, the romance of having not won it for so long, and yet there is a fear among other football fans that well never hear the end of it if they do win it this year.My personal view is this is the best title race ever. Its the best title race in Premier League history. Both teams are pushing boundaries, and the point tallies tell you that.Ill always support the best team and I think overall if Man City do go on to win they will have proved themselves the best team.
Matt Dickenson, The Times: I cant agree with Pep on that. Im sure there are a few journalists with allegiances or a liking for Liverpool, but I think most journalists simply want drama.I dont wildly care who comes out on top on Sunday, Id just love to see a few more twists and turns and make sure theres some excitement on the day, thats my main wish.
Laura Williamson, Daily Mail: The suggestion the media want or expect Liverpool to win is definitely not right. What we want is the best story. Whether that is the romanticism of Liverpool winning it after so many years, or City doing it again for the second year in a row, I dont think were really bothered, because its the best story.We have got that, because of Citys relentlessness, their excellence, the way theyve won match after match after match, and the fact the title is going right down to the wire and will be decided on the last day.So actually, its not about Liverpool winning or Man City winning, its the story, and I think weve got that.
