Maybe 4th isn't out of the question then? 1. City 2. Utd 3. Arsenal 4. Liverpool 5. Chelsea 6. Newcastle 7.Sunderland 8. Spurs
Nope, I think Liverpool have had two decades of failure, you think they've had two decades of success. I respect your low expectations.
LFC Still the most successful club though - that's a fact my Mancunian (unlikely, Cockney I expect) friend..
I think there is success, there is failure, and then there is a middle ground. Most clubs would love to have had a 'failure period' like Liverpool's or Man Utd's. Both won things during their title droughts. Apart from the relegation that Man Utd suffered, I think both clubs remained in the middle ground. Edit: to their standards.
