heres something to bring you back down:

Chelsea 24
Charlton 15
Tottenham 15
Man Utd 14
Bolton 14
Man City 14
Arsenal 13
Wigan 13
West Ham 12
Middlesbrough 11
Blackburn 11
Newcastle 9
Liverpool 7
Portsmouth 6
Birmingham 6
Aston Villa 6
Sunderland 5
Fulham 5
West Brom 5
Everton 3

i really hate to burst your bubble, but you havent won a league title since 90, and while you can crow about last years UCL, the other four are a distant memory, i bet you cant remember those wins. Nottingham forest have won two europe titles as well, but imagine the shit yous would give a NF fan if they bragged about those titles now.

Im not having a go at the history of liverpool. im just saying that in our lifetimes, liverpool have achieved fuck all. i cant really brag about celtics one and only europe win in 1964, because, well i didnt get to celebrate it.

these days, "having a rich tradition" means you havent done shit lately

Yeah but I still won't back Liverpool to get much out of a game against em. A draw would suit just about everyone. :)

Actually I wouldn't care if Nott Forest fans bragged - We've got more than double theirs. :D

Not bursting my bubble. I stated at the beginning of last season that we would win the UCL - and we did. I didnt give a damn what anyone else said - I knew we'd win and we did. This season, however, I havn't said jack all about us winning the EPL. Those who I've talked to know that I would be thrilled to come in 3rd this season. The top 4 would be good - 3rd would be great.

2 Euro Super Cup, UEFA, 3 FA Cup, 2 League titles, 3 League Cup, 4 FA Charity Shield, 3 Carlsberg Trophy all in my lifetime...

ANd you call a UCL win "fuck all"? Sorry mate but winning the Euro Champs League doesn't happen every bloody day. Its still on my msn nick. I'll keep it that way until we hand over the title.I don't care if the other 4 weren't in my lifetime - they are still wins that MY TEAM acheived. Bloody hell - my four year old cousin brags about United's 99 season and he wasn't there either. He repeats it like a radio ad. Who gives a damn - lifetime or not - IT OCCURED. And I will Continue to glory about it.

I dont know much about Celtic - but Livo sure as hell havn't achieved "fuck all" in my lifetime.

I dont see your damn point? We CREATED tradition again last season. Having a rich tradition means that your team has built up over the years. It means that they once struggled but pulled through. That they had a glorious past. It doesnt mean that they are not going to have a glorious future. It doesnt mean they havn't done jack lately.

I'm not pathetic enough to demand my team win every week. I understand that faliure will occur at times - what matters is the reaction and that the team and its fans hold their heads high while getting on with it.

We lost one game. We've drawn a few. Won one. WE'VE PLAYED 6 GAMES. What the hell is up with everyone preaching at us?

Playing like we are now? Rafa needs to pull the boys in line and give some of them a good kick up the butt.

We've more mid-week games coming and international games as well. Our boys are gonna tire quite a lot. I think the formation needs to be tinkered with. If we keep playing like we are now - 5th even 6th.

I think we've got it in us to come 3rd/4th. But we cant be playing the way we are now. Theres no way we'll hit top 4 like this. We can kiss that spot goodbye to Charlton.

LMF^^ stop laughing. :D

idiot, we have the ability to finish second, that's why i was cautious about saying it, because i wasnt sure how to say it (i admit, it sounded wrong:(). Just the fact L'pool can one-touch pass as accurately and quickly as they have shows they've got the ability to pull teams apart. Thats without any fast wingers, or through balls or dead ball situations.

yes, they need to pick up their act, and back each other up (i've seen too many occassions where they dont run into proper space so they can reveive a pass)

meh, i see stuff and go "they keep that quality, they'll win", anyways

carry on in your domain

drop garcia, give cisse a good chance or get rid of him, get a good right winger, tell kewell to play with his heart and mind (once he's fit), drop riise to left back and make sure that when/if crouch gets the ball he has numerous options (i.e. not just gerrard in the centre)

Well, i'll eat humble pie if im wrong, but there is no way you are getting six points from the next two games.

I just thought, considering liverpool is coming off a europe win, i thought fans would be aiming for higher than 4th.

The league titles of 88 and 90? You wouldnt have left wearing nappies by then. Please dont count the charity shield- that game is a friendly, not a comp. And the Carlsberg Trophy? I had to research that- a preseason comp in Dublin. Congrats on that win.

I will NEVER call a ucl win "fuck all". im sorry if thats what it sounded like i said. You have every right to brag about it, but dont brag as long as man u fans did, mind i think they have slowed down.

Crazy Horse said:

My damn point is that you are 17 pts behind the leader after 6 games. The league wont present a trophy, even tho 32 matches remain.

Coz picking teams doing poorly is fun. But i agree. After a few games things may look brighter, many games remain. I hope liverpool get better. While i wouldnt call myself a fan, i have a soft spot for the club, hell i was cheering with you in instanbul, i even have the celtic-liverpool commemorative scarf from the uefa cup leg a few years back (which btw celtic won). But it aint looking good.

One step at a time. Cup and League so very different. Maybe next season or the one after. One thing for sure – we'll score 19 before any other club hits 18.

bJ_Bhoy 87 said:

Yea. Don't get too specific. You said lifetime. Don't matter whether I could speak or not. We won. The end.

Dismiss if you wish. I'll still be counting it. ;)

No - United fans havnt slowed down. Its just that the ones in this thread are pretty good.

Already established I don't disillusion myself with the belief that we'll end up first this season.
