The League Cup success's are barely worth shouting about, as we all know the decent top flight teams don't play full strength sides until at least the semi's.
So to summarize - other than the European Cup last year (fair play, great achievement) Liverpool have won one FA Cup in 14 years.
Hardly a record to be proud of.

I will start it off:
Liverpool were found out as certainly not the best team in Europe as everybody but the Liverpool fans agreed with. And they are miles and miles away from ever winning the Premiership for many years to come.You could even argue that they struggle to be the best team in Liverpool.

Do you know how I know?
Becaaue gooners are so unsuccessful in Europe that they can only crow on about going through a season unbeaten.
Its almost like its all they're left with.
Well done..it was a great achievment...BUT YOU CAN'T STICK THAT IN YOUR RELATIVELY EMPTY TROPHY CABINET.

The response was to LFC, who took half an hour to list all your clubs honours. And my point being, in recent years, with the exception of last year's European Cup, Liverpools record is sh!te.
They haven't won the league for 16 years.

Re: Liverpool "European Champions" My *RSE
I hear what you are saying, think i would have Lampard up in the great players though.
Never understand why he hasnt bought a big boy striker.
He inherited drogba and crespo, i do not rate drogba i would sooner have gudjohnsen in.
Maybe the premiership dosnt suit some of these big stars? i dont know .
Is there many big boys in the premiership? Rooney is a great player but one of the only one i can think of that is doing good things.
English players are definately better suited to the premiership but seem so expensive. gerrard, beckham, what price on them boys.

I know its easy to say with hindsight..but to aspire to be the best in the europe....and create a club dynasty which can dominate ak Real Madrid/AC Milan/Liverpool (of old)...and to a lesser extent Juve, Bayern, Ajax....
....Chelsea should have bought legends/legends in the making...i.e the big boys.
eg..Ronadinho, Terry H, Ballack,...some real heavyweights, rather than very good players...but not legends.
Out of the current Chelsea squad...I would say you have only 2 world class players...Cech, Terry.
4/5 Very very good players...but not World class...Robben, Cole, Lampard(yes...there is better than Lampard out there) & Crespo.
The rest are very good (enough to be English Champs) but not good enough to really standout in the World
Morninho should be aiming for the BEST 11 players in Europe in each position eg. Real Madrid a couple of years ago (except for theire defence)
The only reason why Madrid are not Europena Champions year after year...is for 2 reasons: 1. Crap defence 2. Crap managers.
Now if Morninho managed Madrid...there would be hell to pay for ALL other clubs.

but WHAT a f*kcin exception.
Ok...lets play your game...lets play comparing recent achievements.
Can't get more recent than last season.
Liverpool- EUROPEAN CHAMPIONS.
Arsenal- FA Cup.
Now lets use your 'exception'/recent rule.
With the exception of a 1994 Cup winners cup and a 1960's Fairs cup (yes most gunners don't even know that they won that)
WHAT HAVE YOU WON?????????????????????????????????
The fact is Arsenal are not even the best team in London..let alone England..let alone Europe.
First Learn to Crawl before you learn to walk.. Learn to walk before you can run. Then you may compare achievments to the big boys without looking so stupid. EVEN some of my gooner mates know this.
Only Man Utd (much as I hate them) can talk/compare achiements with Liverpool.
Arsenal are a joke!

I think his pride is getting in the way of his ego. If he had insisted on the best from day one...things would have been different.
Ferguson dominated England for years....and only just about won 1 champions league...the reason being was the lack of world class players.
One player could make all the difference for Chelsea....somebody who is the controls the tempo of the play..with bags of skill (sorry Frank...it ain't you). Chelsea don't have him...and there are very few to choose from.

[QUOTE=touchingcloth]To be honest...I think Moriniho is caught between a rock and a hard place. I think he wants ot spend Abramovichs money but at the same time doesn't want to be known as a manager who bought a winning team.

I am putting my hand out to be slapped here, but, yes Moriniho has spent a lot of money but so have Liverpool (over the years) ManUTD have spent a fortune. Mouriniho spent a lot of money quickly. Even with the money they have i dont think he will buy more players. I would love to see a good striker, but not much more.
Abramovich has not pumped money into Chelsea. (hold on now before i finish)
He has only agreed to stand guarantor for the excisting and new loans.

Since 1998 we've won 3 league titles (2 doubles), and 3 FA Cups. Just to remind you - Liverpool haven't won the league for 16 years.
As for Arsenal being a joke
When I was stood in the North Bank last night watching us dump out el galacticos, the only laughing came when the score from Anfield was announced.

Was he great when he was at west ham.?
Apparently, Alan Pardewas offered to send the squad on an all expenses paid holiday to Florida but they declined. They'd rather go to Blackpool so they could see what it's like to ride on an open-top bus.
