How are they going to invent a 20th league win for themselves? The 19th was a stretch...
Sure I thought they had 20 titles.
18 official titles, and 2 titles they won during the wars........or some shit like that

I'm having an argument with a Liverpool fan claiming we always cheat to get the right decision. Does anyone have proof of Liverpool dodgy decisions?

In our latest peek behind the walls of Anfield’s famous museum, curator Stephen Done tells us why we’ve won more than 18 league titles.
Ask any Kopite how many League titles Liverpool Football Club have won and 99 times out of 100 they'll tell you it's 18.
It's widely regarded as the record number of championship triumphs in England, but in actual fact, we've won 20.
We won one in the First World War and another one in the Second World War.
It's generally accepted that you are not really supposed to count those, but I know there are some clubs that are starting to include them in their honours list.
Whether you add them to the other 18 or not - the fact is that Liverpool have won two other championships.
Need proof of that?
Well, in the museum we have the Championship trophy from the 1942-43 season. It's from the North Championships Second Round competition. It may sound a bit complicated, but what it basically means, is that England was split up into the North and South to cut down on the amount of travelling.
They cut the fixture list in half too, because there was a fear that England may have been invaded and they weren't sure whether they would be able to complete a full season.
In some ways it sells the players short to discount them from the overall number of titles. The games were being played in very dark times under the shadow of war and so they were hardly taking it easy.
The trophy is quite modest in size because resources were very scarce, but it was regarded as something of morale-booster to have something to play for.
I'm rather fond of it and if our rivals start to get too close then I suppose we could start to count the 20, couldn't we!?

It's a fecking mystery to me why so many people on this forum are so concerned by what redcafe thinks of us.

did he mention redcafe? no. you did.
Exactly.
I've got a large group of mates, some Liverpool, some Everton, some Mancs and Tranmere etc and I'm continually ripped because of the utter drivel spouted about 'conspiracies', Howard Webb, United being shit but we're not, United having no good players but we do. It's inane, purile and pisses all over the reputation that match going Reds have built up over years.

Any mention of "You must spout bizarre theories as to why we aren't winning the titles and United are?" - No.
We always clap the oppo 'keeper - people respected us. It's been tarnished of late though, by the likes of Andy@Allerton and his garbage. Good teams win the league, the best team always win the league and every team get iffy decisions - simple as that.
Lets accept it and move on.

I give you Mr. ferguson (c*nt), but noway is ANcelotti a better manager than Rafa, and Guardiola behave. Let him first be tried at another club before he is considered in the same league as Rafa.
To be fair to them, you would expect the number of fans to influence the referee to some extent.
Their fault for not sorting their stadium out, it's not like they lack support.
That said, I'm sure any effect is more than canceled out by the 'United Cup Final' effect, whereby every team wants to beat us more than anyone else, and we have about eight 'rivals'.
Really hope we have a proper go next season.
This guy is history.
Rafa is the best manager in the world bar Mourinho maybe. He has extreme hunger and knowledge for football

Ask him/her/it why they are 36 points behind, 18 points behind Arsenal, a point behind Everton, 3 point ahead of Woy after spending 100 million quid
How they do not see the shame is beyond me.
Freudian Slip?
Freudian Slip?

Has he been banned yet?
I haven't looked today, but yesterday some posturds were "certain" that he's a Manc.
Lee Dixon said on MOTD that BIG clubs get the decisions
Does that mean Liverpool aren't a big club?
I guess thats what happens when you buy players from mid-table clubs. You turn into one yourself
"We didn't score a winner," said Agger.
"Maybe that's because we aren't good enough.
"We had a lot of good chances, especially at the end. But we couldn't score the winner and that's the fact.
They used to get a lot of decisions in the seventies and eighties, I remember

yes exactly Erica
however, I dont recall United fans bleating on about the Liverpool manager having control of the referees etc
