Still grinds me does that. Credit where it is due, but nothing, no TV shows about it, zilch. Meanwhile, RS puke fest at every chance.

I've got used to it. When Pep won his first title in the Prem, smashing records along the way.
  • New national records for consecutive away (11) and overall victories (20) in all competitions; and for consecutive league wins (18)
  • New Premier League records for most points (100); most goals scored (106); total wins achieved (32) in a single season; largest winning margin (19 pts); largest goal difference (+79); away games won in a season (16); away points won in a season (50 pts); and the youngest ever Premier League winner (Phil Foden, aged 17 years and 350 days)
  • Equalled the Premier League record for consecutive away league wins (11)
All the pundits and media lead by Neville and Carragher said we wouldn't be a "great" team until we had won back to back titles. Apparently that's what real champions do.

We did it the next season but the parameters of what makes a great team and proper champions had changed. Now you can't really be a great team until you have won the champions league.

I fully expect the parameters the change again if we ever do win it.

But have you ever had an unprecedented quadruple challenge? Or sent death threats to a player who got headbutted by a City player? Or had a net spend of zero since the dawn of time?

No. So think on about not being as elephantine as the rs.

Actually can't get over this article. Imagine comparing England's only ever treble winning team, crammed with legends, with a team that won an FA Cup and a Coca Cola Cup. And the Liverpool writer actually attempts to compare the two. Holy moly

On penalties when Chelsea should of won both games. The RS have benefited as well as City, the fact that clubs like United, Arsenal, Chelsea and Spurs are a mess on and off the pitch. The league is terrible really, look a how high we finished under Allardyce, when we got outplayed by West Brom home and away that season. We couldn't even beat the RS reserve side. Chelsea and Spurs were crap last season, yet got into the top 4. The reality is the league is boring scriptwritten nonsense, other leagues are even worse. Look at AC Milan, serie a winner's couldn't beat the RS reserve team. The RS are a Sunday League team on peds, other than Salah who benefits from VAR. Their games are won just by running round like headless chickens, that's why real madrid beat them, because they have no skill in their side. As Ballack said, in the past defenders had players like Drogba, RVN, Dzeko, Cahill, Shearer, most teams had a proper striker. The reason VVD, looks good is he doesn't have anyone hard to play against in most games, it's notable that Spurs and Brentford who have proper strikers did well against them last year. Dunc would have terrorised him, they are a Sunday League side devoid of any skill.

I see the story about the 400 death threats to Andersen has gone remarkably cold now. A miracle the BBC reported on it in the first place I suppose. I'm sure the journalist responsible will have been fed to the hounds by now.

Just imagine if this was 400 of us sending death threats to Trent or Salad, or The Blessed St Virgil (bless his venerated knee). The BBC website would have gone into meltdown, and the air would be thick with the sound of radio phone-ins. The tutting and calls for dropped points would be deafening.

Of course, that wouldn't happen because, as with fans of most clubs, we can see the dividing like between rivalry and unhinged and demented bellendery. Funny that.

The media hate them though, apparently.

We'd be forced to play the next 5 seasons behind closed doors, with no telly coverage, against our own reserves. In a stadium on the moon.

The last sentence of that just shows that Liverpool writer hasn’t watched much football. Denis Irwin was absolutely brilliant and would pocket Salah a million times better than most fullbacks these days do.
