God, this is happening, isn't it!
Will Liverpool's title success be the best ever?
- Thread starter Jimy_Hills_Chin
- Start date
Johnson was bought 6 years ago, I don't think you can really include him in this debate or we could literally start going through players from each team that were bought that long ago.
Even if you add up those players you listed its still a right bit shy of that players I listed above.
It's the football forum of a Manchester United site. Hardly surprising what's being discussed.
Didnt Leeds go from sinners of Division 2 to winners of the old Division 1 in one season? That was probably a bigger achievement.
Has Rodgers spent a fortune though? He's spent a good bit and mingled his signings with those that were lacking confidence and done a good job.
A few years ago they were on a mad run like this, even beating us 4-1 away, and were still pipped at the final line.
I can see that happening with City this year.

If Liverpool dont win the league, be assured they will blame someone else!
If they do win it, they can credit SAF with an assist.
If they win the league then it'll be the most impressive win in PL history and Suárez's season will have been the best individual performance in PL history, I reckon. And they're playing the most impressive attacking football since us in 06/07 and perhaps even longer.
Liverpool will win the league and it will be the bestest ever!
Please tell me this is a jinx thread!

If Liverpool do win it, Citeh and Chelsea should be fed coal.
All that money.
All that money.
If they carry on playing like this through April then fair play, they deserve it.
I call it the Liverpool flu and it seem highly contageous. I wont be surprised if they say that its because it was an ageing squad which no one would really win anything with.
Yeah it will be the best ever laaaaa
Jesus, winning the league is a great achievement. All this "best ever" and "best story" is complete nonsense. They have hit form at a good time with everyone else faltering away. That is about it.

The unbeaten league season from Arsenal ranks higher so far for me.
Beating City and Chelsea would be difficult even at home turf.
No.
Agree with pogue, definitely not best ever but up there in terms of impressiveness. Some of their stats are insane though (2.75 goals scored per game avg), which is the highest in English football since 1945
Its amazing because their squad is hardly great and is clearly inferior to Chelsea's, Arsenal's and ours. However the fact that they could focus on the EPL while everyone was battling in the CL takes some of the shine out of it.
I think we definitely have a CL worthy squad, at the least.
An amazing victory? Sure.
But better than when Arsenal won it going unbeaten? No.
Better than when United won it and won the treble? No.
And most importantly, better than when Ferguson won it with a sleeping giant full of kids? No.

Indeed. Also don't see what makes this more special than when ferguson won it the first time with us.
It will be an amazing achievement, but not the best ever considering they dont have the distraction of European football and they are far off the record point tally.
That being said, I hope Liverpool wins it. It will be the best for the league and I hate City and Chelsea. Ill take a non sugar daddy club winning it every day of the week over that lot, historical rival club or not.

Please no.
City. Us. Chelsea. Arsenal. All have better squads than you lot.
I dont understand why people care who wins it as long as we dont. City and Chelsea have gotten where they are based on sugar daddies all but ruining the competitiveness of the league and in the transfer market. Its far better for football that a club that hasnt spend ludicrous sums on established stars wins it instead.
I'd take yourselves out of that list.
Based on what, exactly?
Yet you go on to explain who you would prefer to win if we don't.
Not sure about that.
On current form, Yes.
Seriously, did you think that you'd finish above us, forget compete for the title, before the start of the season?
I thought we would finish 4th, 1 place above United.
In terms of overall budget aren't Liverpool merely 5th in the EPL, just above Spurs?
sturridge for 12mill, insane
This is why -
Just think on this a bit...
1950-60s, United dominated the English game with busby. Legend leaves...
1970-1980s, Shanky and Paisley make liverpool dominate the English game. Legends leave...
Along comes ferguson. 1990-2013 United dominated the English game. Legend leaves...
What's the logical outcome?
Because you thought our squad was worse than yours?
Because we had the better first 11 and manager.
Fair play to Rodgers and Suarez but I'd like to see how they do with CL football in between their PL fixtures next season.
Knew someone would pick up on that
When people dont want Liverpool to win it seems to be mostly about "they are our rivals", "dont want them to get closer to our league win record" etc. Its a small time thing to care about. Not wanting City, Chelsea and other sugar daddy clubs winning is about the bigger scale of things. When clubs like that get success it leaves a sour taste in the mouth because they only got there because of an outside influence that has nothign to do with doing the right things on and off the pitch. Liverpool have gotten the relative success they are seeing on the pitch right now the right way, and its an inspiration to clubs who dont have a sugar daddy.
