Not going to happen. I have just tripled up on Liverpool players on fantasy football now. Might consider captaining a Liverpool defender until then
Unlikely because Klopp seems to not care about domestic cups and has a bee in his bonnet with the FA anyway over the fixture schedule.
They could easily win the PL n CL double though like we did in 2008. In fact I think they will do. Who is realistically going to beat them? City at a push could if they have Laporte back fit. Wouldn't fancy any of Madrid, Bayern, Barca or PSG over two legs vs this Liverpool team. They will all cack themselves at Anfield like usual.
I mean, did we though?
We won the Champions League in 2007/08, a season in which:
- Juventus just got back from Serie B because of calciopoli
- Bayern didn't even play in the CL
- Real Madrid were slap bang in the middle of their amazing "can't even make the last 8 in the CL" run
- Barcelona finished 3rd in La Liga behind Villarreal and struggled to get past Celtic in the CL, as the likes of Ronaldinho and Deco basically couldn't be arsed anymore and "just give it to Messi" wasn't as effective as in later years
- Milan clearly didn't have another run like 06/07 in their ageing squad and in the end finished 5th in Serie A
Our biggest rivals both home and in Europe were Chelsea, managed by Avram fecking Grant.
We were a fecking great team back then and fully deserved all the trophies. It was a fun ride and all. But frankly, denigrating Liverpool's achievements because "the competition is weak" makes us look very bitter and RAWKish, especially considering the above.
Yes, that indicates a strong league in comparison to the other European leagues. Not everybody taking points of everybody.3 teams in CL semis last year, 2 in EL final
Imagine if they win the treble

How much does it cost to evacuate the planet?
He's not lying though. Too many top teams are in transition.
Just like it was in 2008. That was the point of the post you replied to. If Utd deserved their CL win in 2008, the same goes for Liverpool in 18/19. It's quite simple really. But you knew that.
Would be great but it’ll be the usual 1 or 2 nil defeatWolves are going to end the unbeaten run on Thursday
I don't think you'll find too many of us care about the unbeaten record. It's all about getting our hands on the big shiny thing in May and as long as we do that, I don't care if we do the minimum of win 9, draw 3 and lose 4 to get it.Wolves are going to end the unbeaten run on Thursday

This. It's a good thing to have because at some point we'll have a barren spell trophy wise and at least we'll have an "invincibles" label to brag about during the lean years. But first things first. Let's just win the damn thing so that we can discard our supposed fake humility and wum away! I won't even be interested in the unbeaten record until we're 3 games from it (Arsenal away, Chelsea at home, Newcastle away ffs). Speaking of which, I know that Arsenal got a golden PL trophy for going unbeaten. A couple of questions:
1. If a team went unbeaten but didn't win, would they get anything? A gold plated wooden spoon?
2. If we went unbeaten and got over a 100 points, would we get something better than a golden trophy? Surely that achievement would be far better than Arsenal's. Please disregard your opinion on the league being stronger/weaker now etc. Such factors weren't taken into account for their golden trophy. Unbeaten was unbeaten.
I honestly don't know how Liverpool fans coped with 30 years of this.
Must have been horrible for all that time.
It got better after Istanbul.I honestly don't know how Liverpool fans coped with 30 years of this.

I have a feeling they will lose tonight. Traore, get them.
Actually think it's the opposite.Blind optimism helped.

13/14 was a lot more enjoyable than fx 08/09 because the pressure was much less, it was more of a "if it happens, it happens" and just enjoying the football from week to week.
We played some great stuff in 08/09, but the "could this finally be our year? It has to be our year" was agony throughout.
At least you were enjoyable to watch/follow then. You may not have won anything those seasons, but there was no doubting you were there or there abouts.
As a Liverpool fan, do you think it was ever as low as it currently is for Utd? Maybe 10/11 under Roy?

I don't think enjoyable football was enough to make it a happy time for them.
Also during that time they had many periods which were much worst than it currently is for United.
Compare our current squad to most of theirs from those periods, I think theirs tend to have more quality, sadly.
They were also arguably more competitive in the league, cups and Europe (not necessarily all at once) than we currently are.
We'll see. LFC have won 8/9 in the league vs Wolves this century, including winning the previous 6 in a row.Wolves are going to end the unbeaten run on Thursday

You kinda get used to it eventually. It helped having short bursts of quality and title challenges during the 30 years. E.g. The Fowler/McManaman years, 2001 cup treble, Istanbul, 2009 and 2014, and finally Klopp.
Also, I would imagine those United fans who lived through the pre Fergie years will be coping better than those who'd only known Fergie and success.
Nothing lasts forever and there's no guarantee the good times will ever come round again, for anyone, so you've just got to accept that this is how things might be for the foreseeable future for United. Your wealth should make it easier but it doesn't guarantee anything.

Hodgson was awful in every way. Dark humour was the only respite.At least you were enjoyable to watch/follow then. You may not have won anything those seasons, but there was no doubting you were there or there abouts.
