Again, stop lowing it to digs at our history and Roman, it has nothing to do with the current situations of our respective clubs.

The point being that we feel you are not experienced or have the squad depth to cope with challenging on multiple fronts. If we accept your point re GH, that was still over 10 years ago. What remains at the club from that era? Only a young Gerrard. Different management team, back room staff, players, owners, board. So to suggest (as boredeckdave did) that because you were once a great side that you'll just cope because it's in your dna is absolute utter nonsense.

We've seen time and time again teams struggle once they've had a good season and then had Europe the next year. Spurs, Swansea and Newcastle are just recent examples.

Think you'll find he has a lot to do with your current situation mate <laugh> <ok>
 
Just <laugh>. 11th points from 1st and 5th is hardly challenging is it?

You might also want to check our past positons before making moronic, repetitive, boring comments like your last one. You just look like you're conceding the argument by bringing up that.

Say's Chelsea never had a decent title challenge since 1955... Brings up 02/03 as their title challenge when chelsea finished higher.. This is a <doh> moment.

Roman is the only reason for your current situation as a club.

For all those older Chelsea fans, you deserve to see success after years and years in the wilderness, <applause>
For all those younger Chelsea fans, don't pretend it's been anything other than bought and paid for.

And I also listed two seasons in which we made decent title challenges. 65 and 99.
I wasnt born in 65 but 99 was painful, those 2 games at home to West Ham and Leicester. If we had won them both we would have been champions.
We also drew far too many games that year W20 D15 L3, funny thing is we swapped our losses for draws from the 98 season where our record was W20 D3 L15.
We only drew 3 games all season, lost 15 times and still finished 4th!
That would have gotten us a CL spot these days haha

Eh? People can't help their date of birth.

Nobody pretends anything, you only brought it up to have a dig because you lost yet another dispute.

Show me a team other than Arsenal, in the last 30 years who have won a title without either a) A Benefactor or b) Becoming stock market whores.
 
A decent title?
I will assume you mean a decent title challenge.
But since 1955 and before Romans acquisition, we had, at least in my opinion, 2 decent title challenges , one in 1965 where we finished 3rd, 5 points from the title and once in 1999 where we finished 3rd again, 4 points from the title.

In the PL era, even before Roman came to Chelsea, we were more successful than Liverpool between 92 and 03.
You have to go back to the 80's, this was the last time you were doing better than Chelsea (or anyone in fact, your team late 70's - late 80's owned).

You weren't actually, we won 7 trophies, you won 6!

Chelsea? :bandit:

Seriously though I was grateful you did stop Mancs winning it though sometimes

I was putting forward PL seasons where Liverpool were putting in a 'half decent' challenge on more than one front. The point I was responding to from EC wasn't about compared to Chelsea but about Liverpool's half decent challenging.
 
Im off JB, Bods and Drogs, play nice

By the way Cpofl, speaking of being owned Kops and Rodgers posted on our board this morning, try not to worry to much

So when Shankly broke the transfer record twice in a week it was buying success?
When the Moores ploughed their money in it wasn't buying success?

You younger Liverpool fans need to learn your own history.

Excellent, I'll put his quote back in my sig. I know how much he loves that. I did own him quite a few times to be sure.

Finishing 5th and 19 points of the title is considered a ''half decent' title challenge?
 
You're forgetting what we did under GH
00/01 - winners FA Cup, League Cup, Europa Cup, 3rd in league
01/02 - QF EL, 2nd league
02/03 - QF EL, winners LC, 5th league [3 points behind you and 5 points off 3rd]

We've had more than one 'half decent' title challenge since 1990 as well. 05/06 we finished 3rd just 9 points behind you as winners. 01/02 2nd 7 points behind Arsenal. 00/01 3rd 11 points off. 99/00 4th but only 6 points off 2nd [utd stormed it that year]. 96/97 4th only 7 points behind winners utd. They look half decent challenges to me!

Chelsea on the other hand, never had a decent title since 1955 until RA came and bought you instant success.

This is priceless saying we haven't had a decent title challenge since 1955. Then saying in the same post that they challenged for the title finishing three points behind us in 2002/3. <doh>
