    Oh I see. They didn't beat anyone good, but somehow poxed into winning the thing outright.

    Did you actually watch them play last year?

    Well in 2005, Liverpool were muck according to many but "somehow poxed into winning the thing outright". So if Liverpool could play poorly and battle through and get the job done why couldnt Milan have done the same last year?

    Sonuds amazingly similar to what was said by all and sundry after the 2005 cl final.

    Put it this way: I'm surprised anyone could have watched Milan last year, without thinking they were an excellent side.

    But if you did, I won't try to convince you otherwise.

    I hate the way man utd fans love to berate Liverpool fans over not winning the Premiership in 18 years. what they tend to forget is they went 26 years without winning the thing. Plus I bet they'd swap all those magnificent Premier trophies for LFC's 5 Big ones any time. Liverpool FC is all about the European Cup we won leagues for fun when it was necessary to win it to qualify for the European Cup now Fourth place is good enough to get in without killing ourselves. That's all the league was and is.... the only way into the real competition. I really don't know where the Idea that Liverpool fans want the Premiership more than the European Cup came from IMO that's tabloid tripe.Give me old big ears over the Premiership every time

    Yeah I would, I want my football entertaining and successful simple as that. I believe the best way to win is to play good entertaining football. Esp at the highest level.

    ha ha you are priceless. First you have a go at me for being an Everton fan not sure where that came from. As I said, I don't really care about Spurs too much but I would love to be a season ticket holder at White Hart Lane. Over 100 goals there, great stuff in my view. Some weeks they lose some weeks they win, true entertainment, better than borefests week in week out in my view.

    What has mancs go to do with anything. Get out of your petty little rivalries and try to see the bigger picture here. Its the entertainment industry

    I love the way when I made a comment about how Liverpool are boring to watch, a lot of Liverpool fans get so touchy. If you are so confident and so happy about the way Benitez is managing them why are you so touch. I reckon its the fact most Liverpool fans actually know what good football is as they saw it before and they are afraid to admit that they are not actually happy about how they are playing now. It must kill them that Man Utd have won leagues playing great football whereas Liverpool have came 3rd and 4th playing boring defensive football the last 10 years.

    I don't think so. What's better: Winning a trophy by beating 8 (in Liverpool's case) of the best teams in Europe or beating 19 of the best teams in your country, including plenty of your biggest rivals?

    Chelsea have won European trophies before. The crappy CWC was in the Bridge twice. Chelsea have also won the Premiership twice since Liverpool last won it and I know what I'd rather this season out of the CL or the Premiership.

    No trophy is easy to win but I'm suggesting it's a bigger test of character and team strength to win a league where you play 19 teams twice then a cup where you will play 6 (or 7) teams twice and one team once.

    Derby? Fulham? Amongst others, they would maybe make the best 92 teams in the English league

    Tell all the Bohs you know
    that we've gone and won two-in-a-row
    and it's not gonna be three
    and it's not gonna be four
    it's more likely to be 5-1.

    Champions League = Champions, 2nd place, sometimes 3rd place and in some instances 4th place League. Derby and Fulham are a lot better than many teams who qualify for the "Champions" League from other countries so I wouldn't totally dismiss them because they are at the bottom of the Premiership.
    Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.

    Theoretically, the 20 Premiership teams are the top countries in the league. The fact that one Premiership team made it to the last four of the FA Cup suggests that it's more about on doing the biz on the day.

    Leagues are about consistency and at the end of the season the most conisistent, i.e. best, will be at the top.

    Wayne Rooney has said that he would prefer to win the CL with UTD rather than
    win the WC with England and I get the impression that Chelsea and UTD would both prefer the CL than the league given the choice.Most Liverpool supporters
    I talk to would prefer to win the league because its been so long.
