Thumbs up to that.Two screens
It's difficult to enjoy it much since your rise was so short...
Checks notes: went from 5 CLs to a lifetime safe 6 CLs.Nothing to be nervous about mate. You’re the one that should be nervous… you’ve won 1 league title while we’ve been awful and now we’re on the way up we’ll probably win 1 before yous again.

Yep, you're not getting anywhere near that while I'm alive.
Interesting point. We've never faced them in the CL either, have we?I'm fascinated by how United and Liverpool seem to be diametrically opposed for the last 20 odd years (or more even). When we're up, they're down and vice-versa, particularly in the league. During their purple patch of recent years we've been nowhere. Now when we start coming back they start falling apart.
I think throughout the entire Premier League era there's only been one season where both teams were genuinely competing with each other for the title - 2008/09 (remember Macheda?). Kind of crazy considering the two clubs have won the most league titles between them by some distance.
When Liverpool were hoovering up league title after league title in the 70s/80s were there many occasions where we challenged with them for the title? (my memory doesn't go back that far)
Is it some weird football voodoo?

Their net spend is over analysed. They buy cheap squad players and sell them on for huge profits. It’s not like the are forced to sell their star players. The only one that comes to mind was Courthino. The rest were players who were not first team regulars. (Mane wanted to go because he wasn’t offered the contract he thought he deserved)Its such a huge fall and worryingly for Liverpool Klopp has precedent with this.
But really they should be pointing the finger at FSG, FSG have been using City as a shield for their spending "We can't compete with cheats" but in reality their net spend is below clubs like Villa, Everton etc... iirc (at least before this season) despite reaching 3 CL finals. Carragher and co's defence of the owners has walked them into this, kinda like early Neville did with the Glazers. They've sleep walked into it because of a great manager papering over the cracks and legends defending owners who won't step up.

Its kinda been that way forever, both teams rarely were at the top together bar an odd season here or there, During Liverpools golden 80's period United were struggling.I'm fascinated by how United and Liverpool seem to be diametrically opposed for the last 20 odd years (or more even).

You could have simply said "from winning the mickey mouse cups to this" and that would have made no difference to what you said initially.It’s such a strange feeling going from 92 points in the league last season, cl finalists and winning the FA Cup and Carabao Cup to this.
That’s all they can fall back on because they won’t match our titles.Ah, the "six times" response, used even when it's not relevant to the conversation.
Wasn't this meant to be the era of Liverpool dominance? Or will that glorious resurgence now wait another 30 years?
At least they got an open bus parade!You could have simply said "from winning the mickey mouse cups to this" and that would have made no difference to what you said initially.
So the owners should be digging deeper to back the manager. Thats the issue, their owners cry about not being able to compete but they have a smaller net spend than Wolves, something about that smells rotten to me given they've been at the top of the league for 5 seasons and been in 3 CL finals. Why aren't they spending their money to the same level as say Arsenal?Their net spend is over analysed. They buy cheap squad players and sell them on for huge profits.

Were you alive when Liverpool won their first 4?Checks notes: went from 5 CLs to a lifetime safe 6 CLs.

Sexton 79/80 season was fairly close but Liverpool had the advantage all the way after the turn of the year. Finished 60 points to 58. They also had better goal difference.When Liverpool were hoovering up league title after league title in the 70s/80s were there many occasions where we challenged with them for the title?

You know its really bad when you see Scousers bringing out the 'five times, la' lineChecks notes: went from 5 CLs to a lifetime safe 6 CLs.

Klopp probably wouldn’t have bothered if he knew…Liverpool's golden era only led to 1 PL title... and nobody could even celebrate it... back to mediocrity
Nah once the rot sets in that’s it..klopp won’t be around for the rebuild and top managers unlike midfielders are like hens teethJust to be the party pooper, I would say that we have to enjoy this while it lasts.
Put the engine back into Liverpool's midfield through the purchase of a couple of decent CMs (of which there's plenty on the market) and they become a top proposition again.
They may have dropped off, but at least they'll never walk alone.
sure but you think that’s an easy fix? Klopp can’t seem to do it and he’s one of the best in the world….Just to be the party pooper, I would say that we have to enjoy this while it lasts.

Interesting observation. On a less global scale (I mean more short term) I feel we are taking Liverpool niche in EPL hierarchy.I'm fascinated by how United and Liverpool seem to be diametrically opposed for the last 20 odd years (or more even).

I've seen us win numbers 3,4,5 and 6.Were you alive when Liverpool won their first 4?
I was hoping for another 3 decades before my point, or I, expired.Don't be so pessimistic mate. I'm sure you've got another decade in you
