We’ve won every single trophy in the game bar one in the 21st Century, some more than once, so we’re hardly irrelevant. Through the sale of a player, we spent world record fees for a defender & a goalkeeper in the matter of weeks which suggests we can if we want to. That we don’t do it all the...

I wasn’t being insulting and you know it. I’ve made it perfectly clear to plenty here that I’m just chatting about football. Just thought that it was a mad way to look at it. No genuine offence meant, apologies if that’s the case. And my comments on RAWK have been pretty clear.

I don’t understand what you’re saying here? Are you saying that if you’re currently successful or you’ve been historically successful that it’s unfair to others if you try to get the best players you can? And then it’s wrong if someone like you bids for the same player or same type? I only say...

I don’t think you’ve read that properly. How can I mean that you make easy meals out of getting whatever players you want when you’ve just given me an excellent selection of ones that were the polar opposite of that. And of course cherry picking is the best option available. It’s not a literal...

It’s cyclical and prestige. Because of our history, we’re generally, and I say generally, a reasonable draw. At the moment, like you, we can attract just about anyone. But for all our consistent success in the 60s, 70s & 80s, United’s for the next twenty and yours in the last decade, Bayern have...

Transfers, even the ones that should be routine, rarely happen like that. They’re drawn out processes on both sides, the seller especially because they usually don’t want to lose the player. In every single instance above, you secured every player. If you think that every German club who sells...

My point is though that the biggest teams in any country have always cherrypicked the ones they really want. You’ve done it, we’ve done it, United have done it, the list goes on. The hard fact is that players will always want to play for top teams if they can. When some clubs come calling, it’s...

I don’t know really what to say as I don’t see how it pertains to our discussion other than I’m not sure about Sane being dropped if he didn’t sign for Bayern. That sounds like gossip to me.

I don’t get how they’re being ****s by doing the job they’re supposed to. Their remit is to get the best players they can to win the biggest trophies going. Their honours list is up there with anybody’s. And they can’t force players to sign for them either. Not that they need to because they’re...

Bayern have cherrypicked the German transfer market for time immemorial. There’s nothing new or sinister about it, a lot of Germans prefer their own league. Plus if they want to satisfy their professional ambitions, that’s the club at home most likely to fulfil them. It’s shithouse for the other...

The one that sticks in my head was Benitez’s Valencia coming to Anfield a few years before he did, 02 CL. Albelda, Baraja & Aimar were on fire that night, we couldn’t get near them on the pitch. They had such a strong team then from back to front and yet he was about to make them even better...

Hahaha...YES! Glad somebody noticed! Love FZ, he’s the top man.

I’d love Klopp to get hold of him. Not as much as Foden like, he’s an absolute monster of a player.

Good post, that. I don’t think for one second that nearly a decade after Fergie leaving did he think that his would be their last league title. The speed of their decline mirrored ours in the early to mid 90s except they’ve got a lot more money than we had back then to try and rebuild. But the...

You’re right, you’ve got me there. But three in five with this year is still pretty sweet.

I’m going back to the cell! Haha!

How does it start as a different competition? The games from this season will be completed one way or the other. My own take is that the games shouldn’t start until 2021, but that’s by the by. Regardless, it’s highly likely we’ll get the six points we need and then we’re champions whatever...

Top drawer track from a top drawer album.

I don’t know about your collective viewpoint but I can definitely tell you that no Liverpool fan I know thinks any trophy is unimportant. I know everyone of them wants to win the league title, European Cup, FA Cup, League Cup every single year. Our manager is less enthused for the cup comps but...

There have been a few idiotic mentions of Heysel and Hillsborough, but this isn’t the time or place or context to use them. I’m sure most on here recognise that anyway. Of course there’ll always be disagreements & there should be in a forum full of opinions. Keep to football in the football...
