I doubt they would even waste a thought on some niche 'record'. Another CL win just blows away an ultimately meaningless points record. There are no medals for setting 'records', we've not got '106' embroidered on our shirts.....
Football is all about bragging rights and these types of achievements. You may have noticed that our fans care more about the 106 record than they do about us winning the Simod Cup. And the 'Invincibles' are considered better than any English side that won a CL title.
Is that not just because it is a) more recent and b) the Simon Cup doesn't exist anymore, therefore those under 30, might not know what it is?

Elm Park Kid Looking more and more likely that Liverpool are going to take the points record from us . . . .

Silver Fox Our points record is not relevant to the Premier League, or any time there's been a different number of games

From Despair To Where? If Liverpool top 106pts then fair play to them. It would be a phenomenal achievement with 8 fewer games.

Nameless It’s always been a Football League record. Far more important to hold the record for the oldest league in the world as opposed to a very newly created TV vehicle....

Elm Park Kid It's looking like we're going to need to find something else to sing about . . . . . .

With the league title in the bag, they will drop off. Very hard to keep going once you've done enough.
They will also start resting players up for the Champions League.

I think you grossly underestimate the mentality of this Liverpool side and it's manager. They will not ease off, I'm not sure they really know how. As for the CL, they have to get past Atletico first before resting players for the CL even becomes a consideration.

They will ease off. Its human nature. Its a question of how much.

I think the incentive to go unbeaten may drive them on

Elm Park Kid I'm interested - do people think we will still sing '106' if Liverpool beat that points total? I understand that technically it's a football league - 46 games a season record, but I would find it a bit embarrassing if we continued with the song.
