Although they left it a little late, Manchester City’s 4-0 demolition of Aston Villa on Wednesday led to more Liverpool title jokes as Scousers everywhere were left wondering just how they managed to let this rare opportunity slip.

The convincing win takes City within touching distance of the championship and they now, in all likelihood, need just one more point to secure success this season.

Unless West Ham cause a major upset on the last day, the trophy looks set to be on its way to Manchester.

Can Merseyside rejects Andy Carroll and Stewart Downing change the course of Premier League history?

However unlikely, better read these latest Liverpool title jokes now…

Attendances at church have been at an all time high across Liverpool today.
