I'd say it changed around 1980 when Liverpool started buying up all and sundry. No we are not stuck in a time warp but we did suffer from having a terrible team around the crucial time when the CL became important and its taken a long time to recover.
To be fair in the grand scheme of things he'd be insignificant at best at this stage of his career, given he'd be compared to actual legends like Giggs and Scholes. He is proven though, he was superb for Spurs so has nothing to prove. He's probably better off riding Ronnie's coat tails and letting Ronnie, Ramos and co do the winning for him.

What do I have to be bitter about? We lost our best player to Real Madrid a long time ago, Bale coming the other way is just meaningless. He'd become our biggest star if he arrived, scored a lot and we won a lot as a result, until then he'd be just another name. Legends at your club are much easier made than here pal.
He's in limbo, the Real fans can't stand him they're constantly giving him ****. He's a nobody there, it'd be no different here unless he stepped his game up.
Translated : Bale had a pop at United so I'm going to rip the arsehole out of him Come on Tel, you're one of them 'trophies are everything' kind of football fan so even by your standards 10 trophies including 3 Champions Leagues in 4 years is pretty good going...'step his game up' please log in to view this image
Translated Bale used to be my hero so I'll defend him at all costs. Kids a ****ing cripple and ain't done **** apart from pop up a few times here and there... of course I'll slate him if he slates my team football fans are naturally territorial.
Haha Tel...I bet you are on a strict diet and training regime lately aren't you? You know you ma bwai
Actually the opposite mate, strictly junk food and no real training for about 3 weeks. Started consulting for a new company earlier this month and it's mad graft... can't switch off it's doing my head in. Ain't no beef with you home.
That's because he hides behind mummy's sofa during Spud games after jinxing his team with his well known predo's and will be jizzing in her crispy flannel before the games over.
