Here we have it..........the role call of records broken by Liverpool this season and their fall back position whenever the subject of the title is raised......
Liverpool became the first team in top-flight history to win as many as 30 games and 97 points in a season and not win the title.
No side has ever previously lost just one game in a top-flight season and not won the title – the previous record was also held by Liverpool in the 2008-09 season (two defeats, finished 2nd).
Liverpool’s tally of 97 points would have been enough to win the Premier League in all but one of the previous 26 seasons of the competition (2017-18).
The response to the recitation of these facts is of course.......
“......and Liverpool came second”
