  2. I agree we were one of the weakest, its only really between us and PSV for that tag. But, TBF, you said weakest but then attempted to cover yourself by putting one off in brackets. It was always going to get a response.

    Yeah right, as pointed out they beat Juve, Chelsea and Milan on the way to winning it.

    It's just your Pool hating Utd fan opinion. As a neutral it sounds like bollox to me :smile:

    Yes but we are ahead of Germany and Italy this season, so the gap is actually increasing.

    You get plenty of points for teams getting to the last 16 which all 4 of ours did.

    There is very little chance of Italy catching us any time soon!!!

    Wow they beat some teams in a knock out competition. Thats surely never happened.....

    they were one of the weakest sides left.

    Also your point about rankings is a joke right? I hope so anyway.

    Liverpool where not a top side in 2005, the same as Wigan were not a top side in England when they won last years FA Cup.

    The Champions League is a knockout tournament, and sides can ride there luck, or perform above there normal level on the odd night. Or get a few dodgy refereeing decisions, like a goal that didn't cross the line, or there captain diving and being awarded a penalty in the final. You also have to factor in the draw, and that every team has to take a completely different route to the final, playing different opposition.

    The league is a true reflection of how good a team actually is, as it shows how consistent a team is over 38 games, playing home and away against every side, so everything is equal for every team :biggrin:

    So you are basing on their league position then. They had some dodgy players but they also had players like Gerrard, Alonso, Hypia and Cara. They made 2 finals in 3 years and performed consistently over that period. It might be a KO comp but they are over 2 legs bar the final and you have to make the KO stages in the first place.

    Are you suggesting that any CL win is a fluke? It's not really the FA cup is it?

  10. Don't injuries, transfers, loans, changes of managers, form, etc come into it then?

    Nope.

    In 2005 though it was pretty flukey. If we somehow won it this season, that too would be a fluke.

  18. I deleted a comment that I thought was out of order from you earlier this morning and had a couple of posters PM me saying you should have been banned, I gave you the benefit of doubt due to it being a borderline comment IMO. However, in light of the quote comment above, I have requested you to be banned from the Liverpool board (don't give a **** if this is the Man Utd board) as we don't want vermin like you infesting our board!
